This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the
"Agreement"), by and among XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST
COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and XXXXX
FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its dual capacities as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer") and securities administrator (the "Securities
Administrator"), and acknowledged by XXXXXX XXXXXXX MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC., a
New York corporation, as seller (the "Seller"), for purposes of Section 2.05.
WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to
the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee
will make multiple elections to treat segregated pools of assets subject to
this Agreement for federal income tax purposes as the following four separate
real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC"): REMIC 1, REMIC 2,
REMIC 3 and the Master REMIC. REMIC 1 will consist of all of the assets
constituting the Trust Fund other than the regular interests issued by the
REMICs created hereunder and any rights of the Trust Fund in respect of the
Additional Collateral. REMIC 1 will issue uncertificated REMIC regular
interests (the "REMIC 1 Regular Interests"). The REMIC 1 Regular Interests
will represent the "regular interests" in REMIC 1 and the R-1 Interest will
represent the single Class of "residual interest" in REMIC 1.
The Trustee will hold the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit of
REMIC 2. REMIC 2 will consist of the REMIC 1 Interests and will issue
uncertificated REMIC 2 regular interests, which will constitute the regular
interests in REMIC 2 (the "REMIC 2 Regular Interests") and the Class R-2
Interest, which will represent the single Class of "residual interest" in
REMIC 2.
The Trustee will hold the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit of
REMIC 3. REMIC 3 will consist of the REMIC 2 Interests and will issue
uncertificated REMIC 3 regular interests, which will constitute the regular
interests in REMIC 3 (the "REMIC 3 Regular Interests") and the Class R-3
Interest, which will represent the single Class of "residual interest" in
REMIC 3.
The Trustee will hold the REMIC 3 Regular Interests for the benefit of
the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will consist of the REMIC 3 Interests and
will be evidenced by the Certificates, which (other than the Class A-R
Certificates) will constitute the regular interests in the Master REMIC (the
"Regular Certificates") and the Class R-4 Interest, which will represent the
single Class of "residual interest" in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R
Certificates will represent the beneficial ownership of each of the Class R-1,
Class R-2, Class R-3 and Class R-4 Interests. The "latest possible maturity
date" for federal income tax purposes of all regular and residual interests
created hereunder will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
v
REMIC 1
-------
REMIC 1 will issue a single regular interest corresponding to each
Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3 and Loan Group 4
having a Net Mortgage Rate equal to that of its corresponding Mortgage Loan
and allocated principal, interest and Realized Losses in the same manner as
such items are allocated to their corresponding Mortgage Loans.
REMIC 1 will issue a single regular interest corresponding to each
Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 5 having a Net Mortgage Rate less than or equal to
5.50% and two regular interests (referred to collectively herein as the "Class
1-A Interests" and the "Class 1-B Interests") for each Mortgage Loan in Loan
Group 5 having a Net Mortgage Rate greater than 5.50% and less than 7.50%.
Each REMIC 1 Regular Interest corresponding to a Mortgage Loan in Loan
Group 5 having a Net Mortgage Rate less than or equal to 5.50% will have a
Pass Through Rate of 5.50% and a principal balance, following the allocation
of scheduled principal, prepayments of principal and Realized Losses, equal to
the product of: (i) the Non-A-P Percentage of the related Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the related Mortgage Loan's principal balance. For purposes of the
calculating the Calculation Rate, each of the foregoing REMIC 1 Regular
Interest will be treated as part of Collateral Allocation Group 5.
Each of the Class 1-A Interests will have a Pass Through Rate of 5.50%
and a principal balance, following the allocation of scheduled principal,
prepayments of principal and Realized Losses, equal to the product of: (i)
7.50% minus the Net Mortgage Rate in respect of the related Mortgage Loan,
divided by 2.00%, and (ii) the related Mortgage Loan's principal balance. For
purposes of the calculating the Calculation Rate, each Class 1-A Interest will
be treated as part of Collateral Allocation Group 5.
Each of the Class 1-B Interests will have a Pass Through Rate of 7.50%
and a principal balance, following the allocation of scheduled principal,
prepayments of principal and Realized Losses, equal to the product of: (i) the
Net Mortgage Rate in respect of the related Mortgage Loan minus 5.50%, divided
by 2.00%, and (ii) the related Mortgage Loan's principal balance. For purposes
of the calculating the Calculation Rate, each Class 1-B Interest will be
treated as part of Collateral Allocation Group 6.
REMIC 1 also will issue the Class 1-5-A-P Interest, Class 1-P Interest
and the Class R-1 Interest. The Class 1-5-A-P Interest will have a principal
balance, following the allocation of scheduled principal, prepayments of
principal and Realized Losses, equal to the principal balance in respect of
the Class 5-A-P Certificates and will not be entitled to receive distributions
of interest. The Class 1-P Interest will not be entitled to any interest, but
will be entitled to 100% of any prepayment premiums paid on the Mortgage
Loans. The Class R-1 Interest is the residual interest and will not be
entitled to any distributions of interest or principal.
vi
REMIC 2
The REMIC 2 Interests, each of which (except for the Class R-2
Interests) is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal income
tax purposes, will have the principal balances, pass-through rates and
Corresponding Loan Groups as set forth in the following table:

(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to
0.9% of the Subordinate Component Balance ("Subordinated Portion") of its
Corresponding Collateral Allocation Group. Each Class B Interest will
have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Subordinate
Component Balance of its Corresponding Collateral Allocation Group. The
initial principal balance of each Class C Interest will equal the excess
of: (i) the product of (A) the weighted average of the Non-A-P
Percentages of the Corresponding Collateral Allocation Group and (B) the
aggregate principal balance of the Applicable Fractions of the Mortgage
Loans in the Corresponding Collateral Allocation Group over (ii) the
initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests
corresponding to such Collateral Allocation Group.
(2) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the Class
1-A-P Certificates.
(3) The 2-1-A-X Interests will have a notional balance equal to that of the
Collateral Allocation Group 1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans and a pass
through rate equal to the excess of the weighted average of the Net
Mortgage Rates for the Collateral Allocation Group 1 Non-Discount
Mortgage Loans over 5.00%.
(4) The Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate in respect of the Corresponding
Loan Group.
(5) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the Class
5-A-P Certificates.
(6) For each Distribution Date, the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Class
A-R Certificates.
(7) The Class 2-P Interest will not be entitled to any interest, but will be
entitled to 100% of any prepayment premiums paid on the Mortgage Loans.
On any Distribution Date:
(1) If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of
Interests, then the Non-A-P Percentage of Principal Reductions arising with
respect to each Collateral Allocation Group will be allocated first to cause
the Collateral Allocation Group's corresponding Class A and Class B Interests
to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the Subordinated Portion, 0.1% of the
Subordinated Portion as of such Distribution Date, and second to the
Collateral Allocation Group's corresponding Class C Interest;
(2) If a Cross-Over Situation exists then:
(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is less than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the
Subordinate Certificates (the "Subordinate Pass Through Rate"), Principal
Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class A
Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from each such Collateral
Allocation Group; and
viii
(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is greater than the Subordinate Pass Through Rate, Principal
Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B
Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from each such Collateral
Allocation Group.
In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests to equal the Subordinate Pass Through Rate. With respect to each
Collateral Allocation Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the
principal payments comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received during
the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make the
necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Interests, then
interest will be added to the Collateral Allocation Group's other Interests
that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments, in proportion to their
principal balances.
(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests will not be
reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the product of (A) the weighted
average of the Non-A-P Percentages and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of any Due Period over
(ii) the Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates as of the related
Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on
such Distribution Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the
distribution of principal to any of the Class A and Class B Interests, and if
the Collateral Allocation Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to
zero, then the excess principal from that Collateral Allocation Group will be
paid to the Class C Interests of the other Collateral Allocation Group if the
aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of such Collateral Allocation Group
are less than one percent of the Subordinated Portion. If the Class C-1
Interest receives such a payment, then the payment will be treated by
Subsidiary REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Class C-2 Interest
receives such a payment, then the payment will be treated by Subsidiary REMIC
as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.
The Class 2-1-A-P and Class 2-5-A-P Interests will be allocated the Class
A-P Percentage of principal and Realized Losses in respect of their
corresponding Collateral Allocation Groups.

The REMIC 3 Interests, each of which (except for the Class R-3
Interests) is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal income
tax purposes, will have the principal balances, pass-through rates and

For any purpose for which the pass-through rates is calculated, the
interest rate on the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account
for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage

each of the interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC such
rates shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention based on a 30
day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans
and all regular interests will be using the same monthly day count convention.

following the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian's
certifications as required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a
document is missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator of the breach by
such Originator or Seller of any representation or warranty under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the
case of the Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a
"Defective Mortgage Loan") (each of the Depositor, the Seller and the related
Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and
the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly
notify the Depositor and the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable,
in writing of such nonconforming or missing document or breach and request
that the Seller or related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or
cause the cure of such defect or breach within a period of time specified in
the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and if the Seller or related
Originator, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee,
shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, or the
Seller under this Agreement, as applicable, and cause the related Originator
or the Seller, as the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date
following the expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(c)
below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could
not reasonably have been cured within such specified period (unless permitted
a greater period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such
specified period, the related Originator or the Seller shall be permitted to
proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such breach. To the extent
that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any
violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive
lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage
Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the Seller, such costs and
damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage
Loan and shall be borne by the Seller. With respect to a breach of a
representation or warranty of an EverBank Mortgage Loan, Hemisphere Serviced
Mortgage Loan or SouthStar Mortgage Loan by the related Originator under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, if that Originator fails to cure the
breach or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within the time period
required by that Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Seller hereby agrees to
honor that Originator's cure obligations. The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution
Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of
54
written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall
release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it
and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency
of such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to
designate on the MERS(R) System the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either
party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a
material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the
such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the
last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller
substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any
related assignment thereof and the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such
other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
together with an Officers' Certificate stating that each such Replacement
Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans
in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund
and shall be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable.
For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall
reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in
the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon
such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the
Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement
and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related
Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included
in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement,
in each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or
more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Adjustment
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase
55
Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted
Mortgage Loans, together with one month's interest on such excess amount at
the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the
related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account
an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement
Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit,
shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
(either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse
REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of
Counsel can be given.
(c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor
or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party
shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b),
substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage
Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with
respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above and/or
in accordance with this Section 2.05(c). The Trustee shall re-convey to the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be
released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.
Section 2.06 Grant Clause.
(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title
and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of
any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the
Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan
and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction
of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest
created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall
be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all
proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
56
(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
the other property described above, 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. The
Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the
Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the
Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall
prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at
the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to
perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator,
the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of
business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any
transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage
Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws.
Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice
of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the
Trustee. Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor
proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in
the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements
necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and
intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the
Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate
transferee (but not the Trustee) to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph
(b).
ARTICLE III
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall
be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Balance, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage
Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Certificates will be issued in the
minimum denominations and integral multiples thereof of the initial
Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the
Securities Administrator on the Trustee's behalf. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files
described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement,
57
or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein,
executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the
date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver
Certificates executed by or on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating
Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c) The Class B-4, Class B-5, Class B-6, Class P and Class A-R
Certificates offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration
under Rule 144A under the Act shall be issued initially in definitive, fully
registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth
in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a "Restricted
Global Security").
Section 3.02 Registration.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities
Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar
in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration
and for the transfer of Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Trustee
may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate Registrar.
A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The
Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new
successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements
set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation,
discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a
successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by
a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any
bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the
Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate
Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities
hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall
be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same
aggregate Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being
transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of
Certificates.
58
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number
of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Balance (or Notional
Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to
be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder
or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will
evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made
to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate
acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth
thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that
takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor
or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the
Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" (a
"QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") by a transferor that has provided the Certificate
Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
"accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such
accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate
Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I hereto.
(d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective
unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in
the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Securities
Administrator to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a
Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited
transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate
Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event
59
that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase
and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is
purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to
any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Each
Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be deemed to have made the appropriate representation set forth in
paragraph 2 and the representation set forth in paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be
required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the
Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor
transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates
and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of
the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) and neither the Securities Administrator nor the Paying Agent shall
have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not
obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be
paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or
Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or
indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual,
corporation or partnership or other person unless such person (A) is not a
Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate
in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States
and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an
effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time
and in the manner required by the Code (any such
60
person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as
a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder").
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall
deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or
nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the
proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In
addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if
the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner,
is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and
the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for
the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in
accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment
or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent
time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment
(not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate
Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Residual Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f),
then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the
Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
61
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph
of this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein,
by such Holder's or Owner's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all
purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.
Section 3.04 Cancellation of Certificates.
Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies
with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate
Registrar.
Section 3.05 Replacement of Certificates.
If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then,
in the absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by
a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Balance. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable
Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of
the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued
presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new
Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking
therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee or any agent in connection therewith.
Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry
Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and
any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections
5.01 and 5.02 and for
62
all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 3.07 Temporary Certificates.
(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such
variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.
(b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
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 Certificate Registrar without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Certificates, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Balance of definitive
Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same
Class.
Section 3.08 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the
purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder. The
Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as the initial Paying Agent. The
Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities Administrator,
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by
it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which
shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the
Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any
such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall
be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator. If the
Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the
Securities Administrator shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or
before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution
Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise
authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers.
Section 3.09 Book-Entry Certificates.
63
(a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall
be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry
Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive
Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.09(c):
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the
making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized
representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and
shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to
the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the
Clearing Agency's normal procedures;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 3.09 shall control; and
(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued
pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive
and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry
Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the
Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the
Clearing Agency.
(c) If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the
Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar or (ii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal
Balance of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
64
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 Certificate Registrar, to the
extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Certificate Registrar, upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have
the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the Closing Date in connection
with credit enhancement programs.
ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 4.01 Custodial Accounts; Distribution Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall have
caused each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts,
as provided in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, into which all
Scheduled Payments and unscheduled payments with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans, net of any deductions or reimbursements permitted under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited. On each
Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Servicers shall remit to the Securities

required to be deposited into such account in accordance with the terms of the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
(b) The Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent for the Trustee, shall

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for the benefit of Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-4, Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates." The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt from
the Servicers on each related Distribution Account Deposit Date, deposit into
the Distribution Account and retain on deposit until the related Distribution
Date the following amounts:
(i) the aggregate of collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans
remitted by the Servicers from the related Custodial Accounts in
accordance with the Purchase and Servicing Agreements;

with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Due Period pursuant to
this Agreement, including the amount of any Advances or Compensating
Interest Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans not paid by the
Servicers; and
(iii) any other amounts so required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account in the related Due Period pursuant to this
Agreement.
65
(c) In the event the Master Servicer or a Servicer has remitted in error
to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be remitted in
accordance with the definition of Available Funds, it may at any time direct
the Securities Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account for repayment to the Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, by
delivery of an Officer's Certificate to the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee which describes the amount deposited in error.
(d) On each Distribution Date and Initial Optional Purchase Date, the
Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent, shall withdraw from funds available
in the Distribution Account and distribute the Available Funds to the
Certificateholders and any other parties entitled thereto in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 5.02. The Securities Administrator may from
time to time withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodians, the Securities Administrator or any
Servicer any amounts permitted to be paid or reimbursed to such Person from
funds in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchase and
Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Funds in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Securities
Administrator, which shall mature not later than one Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation
of the Securities Administrator or any of its Affiliates, or is managed or
advised by the Securities Administrator or any Affiliate, then such Permitted
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Distribution Date) and
any such Permitted Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized
from any Permitted Investment of amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator, as
additional compensation for its duties hereunder, and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time, and shall not be part of the Trust
Fund; provided, however, that if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is no
longer the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, any such income
and gain shall be used to pay the successor Master Servicer and the successor
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer Compensation and the Securities
Administrator Compensation, respectively. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Distribution
Account by the Securities Administrator out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized.
Section 4.02 Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Accounts and the
Distribution Account.
(a) Each Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from its
Custodial Account for the following purposes:
(i) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to
amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such
Advance was made;
66
(ii) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously

an aggregate initial Certificate Balance of at least $1,000,000, or in the
case of a Class of Interest-Only Certificates or Residual Certificate, a
Percentage Interest of not less than 100%, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to an account specified in the request and at the expense of
such Certificateholder; provided, however, that the final distribution in
respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender
of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office;
provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class
of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate
in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and
its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class
Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be
outstanding hereunder (solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and
not for any other purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities

transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder requesting such wire
transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution.
Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates,
each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of
each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to
the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of
any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office. If any
payment required to be made on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is
not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.

Principal Amount for that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date.
76
(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to each Class or Component of

pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(1)(iii), Section 5.02(a)(2)(iii), Section
5.02(a)(3)(iii) , Section 5.02(a)(4)(iv)(y) , Section 5.02(a)(5)(iv)(y) or
Section 5.02(a)(6)(iii), as applicable, for such Distribution Date) and the

towards the reduction of all or a portion of the amount so added and, to the
extent of any excess, towards the reduction of the Class Principal Balance or
Component Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual Certificates
immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocations and priorities set forth in
Section 5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), 5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), 5.02(a)(3)(iv)(y) , Section
5.02(a)(4)(iv)(y), Section 5.02(a)(5)(iv)(y) and Section 5.02(a)(6)(iv)(y),
the portion of Available Funds available to be distributed as principal of the
Senior Certificates in each Senior Certificate Group (other than any related
Class of Class A-P Certificates) shall be distributed concurrently, as
principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances, until the Class Principal Balances thereof are reduced to
zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of
the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Collateral Allocation Group based (x)
with respect to a Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal
Interest Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on or prior to the fifth Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount and on or after such Senior Termination Date, the related
Class' Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,
without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii)
the related Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to the Applicable Fraction of each Mortgage
Loan in the related Collateral Allocation Group (or, after the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Special Hazard
Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Net
Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of the Applicable Fraction of
such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of
Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on the Applicable Fraction of such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B) after the Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became subject to a
Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month
77
preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest portion of the
related Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation allocable to the
Applicable Fraction of such Mortgage Loan, (C) each Relief Act Shortfall for
the Applicable Fractions of Mortgage Loans in the related Collateral
Allocation Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any
Mortgage Loan) incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date and (D) after the Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date, with
respect to the Applicable Fraction of each Mortgage Loan in the related
Collateral Allocation Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion
Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud Loan during the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's
interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of
the Applicable Fraction of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month
over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on the Applicable
Fraction of such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(8), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted
Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable
to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to the outstanding Classes of
Subordinated Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such
Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the
sequential order provided in Section 5.02(a)(8). Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest distribution priority shall not be a Restricted
Class.
(f) If Subsequent Recoveries have been received with respect to a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan or Applicable Fraction thereof, the amount of such
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the order of payment
priority, to increase the Class Principal Balance of each Class of
Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in each case by
not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class
of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.04. Holders of such Certificates will
not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual
Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such
increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate Balance of each
Certificate of such Class.
Section 5.03 [Reserved].
Section 5.04 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall aggregate the information provided by each Servicer with respect to the
total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, experienced on the
Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.
78
(b) Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans on any
Distribution Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss, including
any Excess Loss, on a Mortgage Loan, based upon the related Applicable
Fraction, in a Collateral Allocation Group shall be allocated to the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates, until the Class Principal
Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Subordinated
Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the
respective Class Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero,
and second to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P
Certificates or the Notional Amount Certificates, as applicable), pro
rata on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances or, in the
case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the
basis of the lesser of their Class Principal Balance or Component
Balance, as applicable, and their initial Class Principal Balance or
Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero; provided, that any Realized Losses
(other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans, based upon the related
Applicable Fraction, in Collateral Allocation Group 2 otherwise allocable
to the Class 2-A-1 Certificates shall be allocated to the Class 2-A-2
Certificates, until its Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero;
provided, further, that any Realized Losses (other than an Excess Loss)
on the Mortgage Loans, based upon the related Applicable Fraction, in
Collateral Allocation Group 3 otherwise allocable to the Class 3-A-1
Certificates shall be allocated to the Class 3-A-2 Certificates, until
its Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero; provided, further, that
any Realized Losses (other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans,
based upon the related Applicable Fraction, in Collateral Allocation
Group 5 otherwise allocable to the Class 5-A-1, Class 5-A-3, Class 5-A-4
or Class 5-A-6 Certificates shall be allocated to the Class 5-A-2
Certificates, until its Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(B) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Excess Losses on the
Mortgage Loans, based upon the related Applicable Fraction, in a
Collateral Allocation Group shall be allocated to the Classes of
Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group (other than the
Class A-P Certificates or the Notional Amount Certificates, as
applicable) and the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata,
on the basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their
respective Class Principal Balances, or in the case of any Class of
Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of
their respective Class Principal Balance and their respective initial
Class Principal Balance or their respective Component Balance or their
respective initial Component Balance, as the case may be, in each case
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and, with respect to
each Class of Subordinated Certificates, the applicable Assumed Balance
for each such Class relating to the Collateral Allocation Group in which
such Realized Loss occurs; provided, however, on any Distribution Date
after the fifth Senior Termination Date for a Senior Certificate Group,
such Excess Losses on the Applicable Fractions of
79
the Mortgage Loans in the related Collateral Allocation Group will be
allocated to the Subordinated Certificates on the basis of their
respective Class Principal Balances; and provided further that after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, such Excess Losses shall be
allocated pro rata to all Classes and Components of Senior Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates or the Notional Amount
Certificates, as applicable) regardless of Senior Certificate Group on
the basis of their respective initial Class Principal Balances or
Component Balances, as applicable, or in the case of any or in the case
of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis
of the lesser of their respective Class Principal Balance and their
respective initial Class Principal Balance or their respective Component
Balance or their respective initial Component Balance, as the case may
be, in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(c) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced
on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on each
Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect of related Class A-P Deferred
Amounts and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class
Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving
effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses
and Class A-P Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans for the following
Distribution Date.
(d) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 5.04(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(e) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 5.04(b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be. All Realized Losses or Excess Losses allocated
to a Class of Component Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the
related Components.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, no Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated to the Class P Certificates.
Section 5.05 Advances by the Master Servicer.
If any Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself
make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the
Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the
Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following
such Determination Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own
funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the
Distribution Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such
Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
80
shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by it.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master
Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is
non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such
Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable,
it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to such effect.
Section 5.06 Compensating Interest Payments.
The amount of compensation payable to the Securities Administrator in
respect of the Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but
not below zero) by the amount of any aggregate Compensating Interest Payment
from the Servicers for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required
to be paid by the Servicers pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements,
as amended by the Acknowledgements, but are not actually paid by the Servicer.
Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable.
Section 5.07 [Reserved].
Section 5.08 Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds.
(a) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date but
prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the fifth
Senior Termination Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the
principal portion of Available Funds on the Applicable Fractions of the
Mortgage Loans relating to the Senior Certificates that will have been paid in
full to the holders of the Senior Certificates of the other Certificate
Groups.
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Principal Balance of
the Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group (other than any related
Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) after giving effect to
distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, is greater than the
Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Collateral Allocation Group (any such group, an
"Undercollateralized Group"), all amounts otherwise distributable as principal
to the Subordinated Certificates (or, following the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amounts described in the following sentence) will be
distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of that
Undercollateralized Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) until the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of the Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) of the Undercollateralized Group equals the
Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Collateral Allocation Group (such distribution,
an "Undercollateralization Distribution"). If a Senior Certificate Group
(other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof)
constitutes an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following
the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions
will be made from the excess of Available Funds for the other Collateral
Allocation Groups remaining after all required amounts for that Distribution
Date have been distributed to those Senior Certificate Groups (other than any
related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof). If more than
one Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date is entitled to an
Undercollateralization Distribution, such Undercollateralization Distribution
will be allocated among the Undercollateralized Groups, pro
81
rata, based upon the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of
each Class of Senior Certificates in such Senior Certificate Group (other than
any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) exceeds the
sum of the Non-A-P Balances for the related Undercollateralized Group. If more
than one Senior Certificate Group on any Distribution Date is required to make
an Undercollateralization Distribution to an Undercollateralized Group, the
payment of such Undercollateralization Distributions will be allocated among
such Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof), pro rata, based upon the aggregate excess
of Available Funds for the Senior Certificate Groups other than the
Undercollateralized Group remaining after all required amounts for that
Distribution Date have been distributed to those Senior Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date but
prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the fifth
Senior Termination Date, the Non-A-P Formula Principal Amount for the
Collateral Allocation Group relating to the Senior Certificate Group that has
been paid in full, will be distributed to the other Senior Certificate Groups
(other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof),
so that each remaining Senior Certificate Group receives its pro rata portion
thereof. If principal from one Collateral Allocation Group is distributed to
the Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) that are not related to that Collateral
Allocation Group according to this paragraph, the Subordinated Certificates
will not receive that principal as a distribution.
Section 5.09 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates
are outstanding, the Securities Administrator will determine LIBOR on the
basis of the British Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate"
for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750"
means the display page currently so designated on the Moneyline Telerate
Service (formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other page as may replace
that page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or
prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.09, the Securities Administrator
shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Securities
Administrator of the quotation offered by its principal London office for
making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks in the London
interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest
Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such
Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBOR
Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be
established by the Securities Administrator on each interest Determination
Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
82
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per
annum which the Securities Administrator determines to be either (i) the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole
multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates
that New York City banks selected by the Securities Administrator are
quoting, on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such
quotations are, in the opinion of the Securities Administrator, being so
made, or (ii) in the event that the Securities Administrator can
determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States
dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Securities
Administrator are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading
European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Securities
Administrator is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest
Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related
Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding
applicable Interest Determination Date or in the case of the first
Interest Determination Date, 3.46%.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities
Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the
purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date.
The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks.
Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in
Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not
control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities
Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If
any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the
Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the
Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability
or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank
for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least
four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on
each Interest Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are
outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
(d) In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Securities Administrator may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx
Markets) from the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest
Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Securities
Administrator shall not have any liability
83
or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of New York City banks
for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability,
following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the
BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to
determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 5.09.
(e) The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest
error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and
the Securities Administrator.
84

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND
THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and the Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive
right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been
cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs,
unless the Trustee is acting as master servicer, in which case it shall use
the same degree of care and skill (in its capacity as successor Master
Servicer) as a master servicer hereunder.
(b) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of
all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are
in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy
or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant
to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument is found not to conform to the form required by this Agreement in a
material manner the Securities Administrator shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to cause the instrument to be corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Securities Administrator 's satisfaction,
the Securities Administrator will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense
shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take
such further action as directed by the Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any
liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its
negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits). No provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
85
(i) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates as provided in
Section 6.18 hereof;
(ii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
(other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer (i) to remit
funds (or to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to the
Securities Administrator when required to do so) unless a Responsible
Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the Securities Administrator at the address provided in
Section 11.07, and such notice references the Holders of the Certificates
and this Agreement;
(iv) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement;
(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any Custodian.
(d) The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may
be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a
consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer, upon
receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which
is delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information
sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real
property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property related to a
Mortgage Loan.
(e) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time,
method and
86
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this
Agreement or the Acknowledgements.
(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
required to perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of
its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there
is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and
expenses or the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none
of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be
responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the
Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or any Purchase and
Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

in the Distribution Account resulting from any investment loss on any
Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee
is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).
(h) Neither the Trustee nor, except as otherwise provided herein, the
Securities Administrator shall have any duty (A) to see to any recording,
filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B)
to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any
kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust
Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to
confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties.
(i) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable
in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for special,
indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage and regardless of the form of action.
87
(k) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be
responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that
this Agreement shall not be construed to render them agents of one another, or
of any Servicer.

unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of at least a

Class of Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the

Certificates.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator make no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Purchase and Servicing
Agreement or Acknowledgement or of the Certificates (other than, in the case
of the Securities Administrator, the certificate of authentication on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan, or related document save that the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator represent that, assuming due
execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except
that such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and
insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights
of creditors generally, and (B) general principles of equity regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor of funds paid to the Depositor in
consideration of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund by the
Depositor or for the use or application of any funds deposited into the
Distribution Account or any other fund or account maintained with respect to
the Certificates. The Trustee and the

Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the legality or validity
of this Agreement or any other document or agreement described in this Section
6.03 or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for
the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder. Neither the
Trustee nor, except as otherwise provided herein, the Securities Administrator

Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor trustee, one copy to the
Securities Administrator and one copy to the Master Servicer.

trustee in accordance with this Section.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, as
provided in Section 6.07. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed

dismissal, the Trustee who received such notice of dismissal may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall not resign except in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.07 hereof, to the same extent that
the Master Servicer is entitled to resign or assign or delegate, as
applicable, its duties hereunder.
(f) If at any time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be

shall take charge or control of the Securities Administrator or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state
in which the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located and the
imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different
Securities Administrator, then the Depositor or the Trustee may remove the
Securities Administrator and appoint a successor securities administrator by
written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, one copy of which shall
be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor securities
administrator.
(g) If no successor securities administrator shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., as Securities Administrator, ceases to be the securities administrator
pursuant to this Section 6.06, then the Trustee (as successor Securities
Administrator) shall perform the duties of the Securities Administrator

successor securities administrator has accepted appointment pursuant to
Section 6.07 hereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of
the Securities Administrator until such time as the Trustee may be required to
act as successor Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.06 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Securities Administrator. If the Trustee is unwilling, or unable, to act as
successor Securities Administrator, then, in such event, the Trustee may
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Securities Administrator meeting the criteria set forth in Section 9.10
hereof. Such successor Securities Administrator shall be entitled to the
Securities Administrator Compensation.
(h) The Trustee as successor securities administrator shall be entitled
to be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the

associated with the complete transfer of all securities administrator data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such securities administrator
data as may be required by the Trustee as successor securities administrator
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in such securities administrator data
or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor securities administrator to
perform the duties of the Securities Administrator properly and effectively;
provided, however, that the predecessor Securities Administrator shall not be
obligated to make any such reimbursements if such Securities Administrator was
terminated or removed without cause or if such termination or removal was a
result of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Estate by any state in which
the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located. If such costs are
not paid by the predecessor Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall pay
such costs from the Trust Fund.
(i) The Trustee, as successor Securities Administrator, as compensation
for its activities hereunder as successor Securities Administrator, shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal

appointment of a successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 6.06 or Section 9.06 shall become effective upon
acceptance by the successor securities administrator of appointment as
provided in Section 6.07 hereof.
(l) If the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same
Person, any removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default

the appointment of a successor pursuant to this Section and Section 6.07.
(m) The Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor securities administrator in effecting the termination of the
Securities Administrator's responsibilities and rights hereunder, providing to

the Securities Administrator's functions hereunder and for the transfer to the
Trustee or successor Securities Administrator of all amounts in the
Distribution Account or any other account or fund maintained by the Securities
Administrator with respect to the Trust Fund. Neither the Trustee nor the
Master Servicer, as applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable, shall
be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by
(i) the failure of the predecessor Securities Administrator to deliver, or any
delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the
predecessor Securities Administrator to cooperate as required by this
Agreement, (iii) the failure of the predecessor Securities Administrator to

shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make,
or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in

Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of
business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable
(or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state
in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state
in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees,

the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights
and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the

holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian

deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. 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

trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign

shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law,
without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the

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 a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least

any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of
any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.

accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a
successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment
to the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. 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. No successor authenticating agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10.

but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental
law.

allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses,
accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending
the Agreement, if necessary. If such costs are not paid by the terminated
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall pay such costs from the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, any
terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement
under this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period
prior to such Master Servicer's termination.
100
If any Event of Default shall occur, the Trustee, upon a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall
promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency of the
nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Securities Administrator shall
immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the failure of the
Master Servicer to make Advances as required under this Agreement with a copy
to the Trustee.
(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination from the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless another
master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such under this Agreement
and 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 and arising thereafter placed on the Master
Servicer, hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the failure of the Master Servicer to provide information required by this
Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, hereunder. In addition, neither the Trustee nor
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have any responsibility for
any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice
of termination. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the
representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section
9.03. In the capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same
limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As
compensation for being the successor master servicer, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement. Any successor to the Master Servicer hereunder also may assume the
obligations of the Securities Administrator hereunder as successor in such
capacity shall be entitled to the compensation payable to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof from and after the date of such
assumption.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any
established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer,
servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less
than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master
servicer, as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master
Servicer in the assumption of all of the respective responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Any entity
designated by the Trustee, may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided,
however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and
other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee,
in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be
and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions
in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor
shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess
of that permitted to 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 and may make other arrangements
with respect to the master
101
servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master
servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying
the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing functions and
providing the Trustee and successor master servicer all documents and records
in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume
the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or
such successor all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been
deposited by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account, any Custodial
Account, or any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable, nor any
other successor, as applicable, shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this
Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the related
Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed
by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. No
successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Securities Administrator
to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it
related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement.
Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as
trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no
remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,
and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair
any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.
Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.
More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders
may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making
of any required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a
failure of the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent to make any
required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be
waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any
such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
102
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 6.17 Notification to Holders.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall
promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Securities
Administrator and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days
after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, give
written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.
Section 6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in
it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or
defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master
servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to
the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is
not indemnified to its satisfaction.
Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon
Event of Default.
In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or written notice of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer
that would become an Event of Default, upon the Master Servicer's failure to
remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the
Master Servicer.
Section 6.20 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on
behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the
Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance
with Article X hereof. If the Securities Administrator is notified in
103
writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole
expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file
such state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by
applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law,
shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax
law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator's
possession). The Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the
Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and
such other information within the control of the Securities Administrator as
the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each
Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within the control
of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC
Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to
Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise
furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the
extent required by applicable law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment
against the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting
from any error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting
from errors in the information provided by such Master Servicer except to the
extent that such information was provided in reasonable reliance upon
information from any Servicer.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created
hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form
SS-4 or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator shall
also file a Form 8811 as required. The Securities Administrator, upon receipt
from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall
upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the
Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information
that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available
to the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause each
Servicer to, provide the Securities Administrator with such information
related to the Mortgage Loans in the possession of such Servicer, as may
reasonably be required for the Securities Administrator to prepare such
reports.
(c) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry
standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a Form 8-K (or
any comparable form containing the same or comparable information or other
information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of the report to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
Xxxxx 00, 0000 (xxx, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year), the
Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with
industry standards, file with the Commission via XXXXX a Form 10-K with
respect to the Trust Fund. In addition, the Master Servicer will cause an
officer in charge of master servicing to execute the certification (the "Form
10-K Certification") required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to file the same with the Commission
prior to Xxxxx 00, 0000 (xxx, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year).
To the extent any information or exhibits required to be included in the Form
10-K are not timely received by the Securities Administrator prior to March
30, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, file one or
more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing information or exhibits
promptly after receipt thereof by the Securities Administrator. Promptly
following the first date legally permissible under applicable regulations and
interpretations of the
104
Commission, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via XXXXX a Form
15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The
Master Servicer agrees to furnish to the Securities Administrator promptly,
from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and
financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to
prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities
Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items with the
Commission other than those specified in this section.
ARTICLE VII
PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND
TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon
Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than
the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the
Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the
earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii)
the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section
7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that
in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be
carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included
therein shall qualify as a "qualified liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional
Purchase Date, the Master Servicer has the option to cause the Trust Fund to
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of the property related thereto. If
the Master Servicer elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30
days prior to the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the Mortgage
Loans and all other assets of the Trust Fund related to the Certificates (the
"Purchase Date") deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the
Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice that the Redemption Price shall
be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of
the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price equal to the

(d) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the
Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the
105
Mortgage Loans and any related assets being purchased pursuant to Section
7.01(c) above that are reimbursable to such parties (and such other amounts
which, if not related to the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund
not being purchased, that are then due and owing to any such Person) under
this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the related
Custodial Agreement.
Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund.
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be
made or the purchase of the Trust's assets will occur, shall be given promptly
by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to Certificateholders
mailed in the case of a redemption of the Certificates, no later than (i) the
first day of the month in which the Distribution Date selected for redemption
of the Certificates shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the
property of the Trust Fund by the Securities Administrator or in the case of a
sale of assets of the Trust Fund, or (y) upon the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such
notice shall specify (A) the Initial Optional Purchase Date, Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to
be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate
Registrar's Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or
agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. The Securities
Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the
Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate
Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Securities
Administrator shall terminate, the Distribution Account and any other account
or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities
Administrator's obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to
Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to
the Holder of the Class A-R Certificates and the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificates shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such
Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities
Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. The foregoing
provisions are intended to distribute to each Class of Certificates any
accrued and unpaid interest and/or principal to which they are entitled based
on their Pass-Through Rates and
106
Class Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts set forth in the Preliminary
Statement upon liquidation of the Trust Fund.
(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in
connection with any purchase or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund
shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust
Fund.
Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.
(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer,
exercising its option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 7.01(c), delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, an
Opinion of Counsel (at the Master Servicer's expense), addressed to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final
payment on the Certificates, upon notification by the Master Servicer
that it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the
Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf of each
REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the
REMIC Provisions;
(ii) Any sale of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
7.01 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of
adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of
making of the final payment on the Certificates;
(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates,
the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal
and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and,
after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute
or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other
than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC)
shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the
final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete
liquidation is adopted.
(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof
hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee under this Section and to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested
by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer.
ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.
107
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of
this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities
of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a
Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
control the Master Servicer or the operation and management of the Trust Fund,
or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth,
or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of
an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
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 an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and
unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby 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 cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or
refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such
sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator 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 benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee,
within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar 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 of each Class as
of the most recent Record Date.
(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred
to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this
108
Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the
communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate
Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such
application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal
business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an
alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as
they appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing
Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and
the Trustee that none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor the 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 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the
Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an "Act" of
the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any
such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to
the others.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer
authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation
or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership,
such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the
Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the
109
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every
future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by
the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
ARTICLE IX

Master Servicer's Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the
Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith
efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their
respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default
of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge
under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if
any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any
such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it
determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i)
terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii)
exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect
to such default as is permitted thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Additional Collateral Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer will have no duty or obligation to supervise,
monitor or oversee the activities of the related Servicer under any Purchase
and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral or under any
agreement relating to the pledge of, or the perfection of a pledge or security
interest in, any Additional Collateral except upon the occurrence of the
following events (i) in the case of a final liquidation of any Mortgaged
Property secured by Additional Collateral, the Master Servicer shall enforce
the obligation of the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to
liquidate such Additional Collateral as required by such Servicing Agreement,
and (ii) if the Master Servicer assumes the obligations of such Servicer as
successor Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.01, as successor Servicer, it shall be bound to service and
administer the Additional Collateral in accordance with the provisions of such
Servicing Agreement.
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer's rights
and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and
powers of such Servicer with
110
respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and
the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in
its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall
have appointed (and the Trustee shall have acknowledged), with the consent of
the Rating Agencies and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved
Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer).
With such letter from the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer may elect to
continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and Servicing
Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this
Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the
obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer and such successor servicer shall enter into a
servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase
and Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall acknowledge such servicing
agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it
and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such
compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in
excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and
Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including
the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the
transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own
expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated
Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of
the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses
or attorney's fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above
are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of
enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.
If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the
Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
If the Seller is the owner of the servicing rights and the Seller chooses
to terminate that Servicer with or without cause and sell those servicing
rights to a successor servicer, then the Depositor shall cause the Seller to
give reasonable prior written notice to the Master Servicer, and obtain the
prior written consent of the Rating Agencies and a New Xxxxxx Mae- or
FHLMC-approved Person reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer shall be
chosen by the Seller and appointed as successor servicer with the
acknowledgment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Depositor shall
cause the costs of such transfer (including any costs of the Master Servicer)
to be borne by the Seller.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to
its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the
Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the
111
case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement or under any other servicing agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, which notice
shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer.
(d) The Depositor shall not consent to the assignment by any Servicer of
such Servicer's rights and obligations under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) The Trustee shall execute and deliver, at the written request of the
Master Servicer or any Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any
Servicer, at the expense of the requesting party, a power of attorney in the
standard form provided by the Trustee to take title to the Mortgaged
Properties after foreclosure in the name of and on behalf of the Trustee and
for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to
enable the Master Servicer or any Servicer to perform its respective duties.
The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any
Servicer under such powers of attorney.
Section 9.02 Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each
Purchase and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or shall appoint or petition a court to appoint a Xxxxxx-Xxx or
FHLMC-approved servicer as successor servicer that is acceptable to the
Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee, as successor master servicer,
its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest herein and
therein to the same extent as if such Purchase and Servicing Agreements had
been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer
under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement
as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages,
expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by
the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master
Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption (but not its
performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are
created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of
the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master
Servicer's obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of
the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.

no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by
reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot
be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
resignation of the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall
become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master

Depositor and the Trustee.
If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or
transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is

event, the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator

servicer and/or securities administrator, as applicable, appointed by the
Trustee (subject to the provisions of Sections 6.07 and 9.02(a)).
Section 9.07 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer
and Securities Administrator.
Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the

provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
shall each have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and
the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency
to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the

Section 9.08 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its
obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good
116
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer
shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it
in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may
in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Distribution Account.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the
Servicers except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a
result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have
been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or
recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing
the obligations of the Servicers in this Agreement and the Purchase and
Servicing Agreements.
Section 9.09 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.
The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result
of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for
its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Acknowledgements and the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if
a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the
Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the
Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09(a), whereupon the Master
Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in
respect of such claim.

(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be
made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for
the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each
REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each
REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest
possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will
be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities
Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes)
of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses
related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect
to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder
(including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in
clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the
Securities Administrator shall not
118
be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by Section 6.20 and
this Section.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign
and the Securities Administrator shall file all of each REMIC's federal and
appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be
borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the

of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or
local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the
REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall

Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for

(ii) to the Certificateholders and the Trustee such information or reports as
are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) To the extent within their control, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take
any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to maintain the
status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist
each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, nor the Holder of
any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to
take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be,
could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at
the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition
of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any
REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is
not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a
Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing,
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to
occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action
or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that
an Adverse REMIC Event
119
could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but
such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual
Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any
REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the Residual
Certificateholders.
(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all
taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental
authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available,
(A) out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce
amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC or
(B) to the extent that any such taxes are imposed on the REMIC as a result of
the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or any Servicer, then the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, or that Servicer, as applicable, shall pay when due
any and all such taxes.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and
on an accrual basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall
enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services.

agent for the Class A-R Holder in such roles, unless and until another party
is so designated by the Class A-R Holder.

Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of

disposition, substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition,
substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b)
affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c)
result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust
Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
The Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall not consent
to any modification of any such Mortgage Loan for which the consent of the
Master Servicer is required

Mortgage Loan is serviced, that would (i) increase the interest rate in
respect of such Mortgage, defer for a period in excess of six months or
forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding
principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), increase the
Servicing Fee on such Mortgage Loan or extend the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) result in a substitution or release of collateral or in
the provision of additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan, unless the
applicable Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, or the Master Servicer has received an Opinion
of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting consent for such
modification) that such modification will not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event.
Section 10.03 Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or
Loss of REMIC Status.
Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent
performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the
Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from
such negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall
not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of
the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for
any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing
parties on which the Securities Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and
in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by
the terms of, this Agreement or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements or
under any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of
malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Service
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual
Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
Section 10.04 REO Property.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the
extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, knowingly
permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any
REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC
Event unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the
REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any
REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property
would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts
to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the
Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any
121
REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless
the Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and
under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer
period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If such an extension has been
received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder,
shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If such an extension
has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on
behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an extension, has
been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell
the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the
end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i)
purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair market
value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the
applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price
prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as
the case may be.
Section 10.05 Fidelity.
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket
fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage
with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the
performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and
trustees.

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and
conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and

under this Agreement or (iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the
extent necessary or desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the
Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment effected pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, result in an
Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant to clause
(iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Holder. Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of
Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall be provided with an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to
the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section. Any such
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any
Holder, if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then
current rating assigned to the Certificates.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class
Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change
will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on
any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the
Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Balance or Class Notional Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For
purposes of this paragraph, references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be
deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the
related Certificate Owners.
(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities
Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this
Section 11.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Trustee may prescribe.
123
Section 11.04 Voting Rights.
Except to the extent that the consent of all affected Certificateholders
is required pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to any provision of this
Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders representing specified
percentages of aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest), Certificates owned by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, any Servicer or
any Affiliates thereof are not to be counted so long as such Certificates are
owned by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, any Servicer or any Affiliate thereof.

Certificates designated by such holder, upon the request of such holder or
prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such holder
or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4)

the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator in providing such
information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

Servicer or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken by such entities in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, which opinion of counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or any of the above parties.

that the requirements set forth in paragraph 3, paragraph 6 or
paragraph 10 hereof are not satisfied or that the Purchaser has
reason to believe does not satisfy the requirements set forth in
paragraph 7 hereof, and (ii) without obtaining from the prospective
Purchaser an affidavit substantially in this form and providing to
the Certificate Registrar a written statement substantially in the
form of Exhibit C to the Agreement.
9. That the Purchaser understands that, as the holder of a Residual
Certificate, the Purchaser may incur tax liabilities in excess of

12. That the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the

"disqualified organization," an agent thereof, a Book-Entry Nominee,
or a person that does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 7
and paragraph 10 hereof.
13. That the Purchaser consents to the designation of the Securities

_______________________ (the "Transferor") has reviewed the attached

that the information contained in paragraph 7 thereof is not true, and has no
reason to believe that the Transferee has the intention to impede the

to be paid with respect to a Residual Certificate. In addition, the Transferor
has conducted a reasonable investigation at the time of the transfer and found
that the Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found
no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to
pay its debts as they become due.

Dear Sirs:
In connection with our proposed purchase of $______________ principal
amount of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-4, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates (the "Privately Offered Certificates") of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital
I Inc. (the "Depositor"), we confirm that:
(1) We understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and may not be sold except as permitted in the
following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any
accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should
sell any Privately Offered Certificates within two years of the later of
the date of original issuance of the Privately Offered Certificates or
the last day on which such Privately Offered Certificates are owned by
the Depositor or any affiliate of the Depositor we will do so only (A) to
the Depositor, (B) to "qualified institutional buyers" (within the
meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in accordance with Rule
144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), (C) pursuant to the exemption
from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D)
to an institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that
is not a QIB (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") which, prior to
such transfer, delivers to the Certificate Registrar under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., as
Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and
as Securities Administrator, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee, a signed letter in the form of this letter; and we further
agree, in the capacities stated above, to provide to any person
purchasing any of the Privately Offered Certificates from us a notice
advising such purchaser that resales of the Privately Offered
Certificates are restricted as stated herein.
(2) We understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any
Privately Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
we will be required to furnish to the Certificate Registrar a
certification from such transferee in the form hereof to confirm that the
proposed sale is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. We further understand that the Privately Offered
Certificates purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.
I-1
(3) We are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with,
any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the
Privately Offered Certificates, and we and any account for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
(4) We are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account or for
one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.
(5) We have received such information as we deem necessary in order to make
our investment decision.
(6) If we are acquiring ERISA-Restricted Certificates, we understand that in
accordance with ERISA, the Code and the Exemption, no Plan and no person
acting on behalf of such a Plan may acquire such Certificate except in
accordance with Section 3.03(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Terms used in this letter which are not otherwise defined herein have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
I-2
You and the Certificate Registrar are entitled to rely upon this letter
