of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof, (b) Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls, if any, allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section

(or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note within 45 days
of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to
the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) and to certify in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in the form of the
Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents
described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it or
such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the
related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the
Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6),
(9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule"
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or such Custodian was
under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they
are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport
to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should
include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall
deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause the Custodian to deliver
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form attached to the Custodial
Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Initial Mortgage
Loans and Subsequent Mortgage Loans. Upon the request of the Master Servicer,
any exception report related to the final certification shall be provided in an
electronic computer readable format as mutually agreed upon by the Master
Servicer and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee).
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing,
as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee or any
Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to the
requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the
Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan
which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
78
The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall,
at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, provide a written report to such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
of all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the
Seller or the Depositor; Payment of Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice under Section
2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing
from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation,
warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of
any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the
Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce
the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days
after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) of
such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is
obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon
receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall request the Trustee to
(and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall) execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in
the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and neither the Trust
Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any further responsibility with regard
to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it
shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to
which a document is missing, a material defect in a document exists or as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05, which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.
79
(c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the Seller, or
Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior to the
date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering
to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with
an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall acknowledge receipt
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business
Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver
to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Master
Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the
Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto
with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
REMIC I and shall be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may
be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall
reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
and the NIMS Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. Upon
such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall
constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the
Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof.
For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
substitution, together with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution,
the Depositor or the Seller,
80
as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the
related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall cause the Custodian to release to the
Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files
and shall request the Trustee to (and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee) shall) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as
the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein
any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall obtain
at its own expense and deliver to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution shall
not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date"
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Seller, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by the Seller. Any
such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, as
the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and
any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable Regulations, (iii)
the terms of this Agreement and (iv) to the extent consistent with the preceding
requirements, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and
usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers
administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the
related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing
Advances; or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular
transaction (the "Servicing Standard").
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest
on the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans. Subject only to the
above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the
respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, (i) to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or of modification and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of such properties, and to
hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Trust
Fund, on behalf of the Trust Administrator, Trustee and the Certificateholders,
(iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of
the Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon terms and conditions
89
the Master Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring
or respond to civil actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust
Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan,
Mortgaged Property or REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any
other document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the
Servicing Standard.
At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute
and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all
servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and
transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph
along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to
this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or
recording purposes. The Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the
Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer any special or limited
powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit I hereto and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder and the Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Master Servicer under such powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as
necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that:
(A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except as
provided in Section 4.03);
(B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer or
forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce the
outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from
actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section 3.02, (i) the
90
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such
default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably
foreseeable); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial releases
of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of
properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v) second mortgage
subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would: (i)
affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC,(ii) cause any
Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect
an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the
Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any
Trust REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC
Provisions.
To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only
under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the
value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan (including any
waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage
Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default), (iii)
such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the
collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable
law or (iv) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered
"predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable
federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and
having jurisdiction over such matters. In no event shall the Master Servicer
waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan
that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default.
On the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the
earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master
Servicer of the breach of the covenants made by the Master Servicer in the
immediately preceding two paragraphs, which breach materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any
Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the
Prepayment Period relating to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit
into the Collection Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amount, the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Charge
payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note related to a Mortgage Loan is less
than the amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth in the Prepayment Charge
Schedule or other information provided to the Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to such
difference, and in addition shall not have any liability or obligation to pay
the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such
amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the
Prepayment Charge Schedule.
91
The Master Servicer shall furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information company or their successors
on a monthly basis;
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master
Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to include
any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms
and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection
procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the
Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provisions of any Mortgage Loan
requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect
to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due dates for the Monthly
Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days;
provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii) above shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be required for any
modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding
Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the
number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in
default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, may
also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan),
accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as "forbearance"). The Master Servicer's analysis supporting
any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of
Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Rates, Monthly
92
Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer in a
manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any
such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of
this Agreement.

(viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any Insurance Proceeds.
In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow Account any

amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay
to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required
by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such
interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Master
Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow Account,
to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is
permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or
used for any of the other purposes set forth above.
(c) DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. The Trust Administrator shall, from time to
time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following
purposes:
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with
Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself, the Trustee and the Custodian amounts to
which they are entitled pursuant to Section 8.05;
(iii) to pay itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.06;
(iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section
7.02(b);
(v) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section
10.01(g)(iii); and
(vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the
Escrow Account, the REO Account and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)) and the REO Account and the Trust Administrator may direct any
depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of
this Section 3.06, each an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such
Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold
at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the
Business Day
99
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession (except with
respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account, the
Escrow Account, and the REO Account) over each such investment and (except with
respect to the income on funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow
Account and the REO Account) the income thereon, and any certificate or other
instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the
Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust
Administrator shall:
(i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser
of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to
be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income in the nature of interest from the investment of funds in
the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) and the
REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation for
the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the REO
Account, as applicable, from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account
immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the investment
of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trust
Administrator as compensation for the Trust Administrator's services pursuant to
this Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution
Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in the Distribution Account.
(d) Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts, the Interest Coverage
Accounts and the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested in
Permitted Investments in accordance with this Section 3.06 subject to any
limitations set forth in Section 4.07 (with respect to the Pre-Funding
Accounts), Section 4.08 (with respect to the Interest Coverage Accounts) and
Section 4.10 (with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) and
any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party
100
designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in the
related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in such account..
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v),
upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates representing
more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.07. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged
Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and, as to those
Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall obtain, from time
to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums)
and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable,
employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which
shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master Servicer in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or
Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the
timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such
bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of
same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from
its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent that the Mortgage does not
provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due and shall ensure that
the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment and
that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.
SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an
amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for
any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer
shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each
REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property
and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances (each
measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall
comply in the performance of this
101
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would
follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, if received
in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.13, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that
no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, the Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance
policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the
area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program) and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are
part of the related Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:V or better in Best's
Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating)
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of
Section 3.08, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such policy.
SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations under this Agreement, which
policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the
102
purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a
waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer
shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has
obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The
Master Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer (upon reasonable request) with a certificate of insurance or copies of
any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master
Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the
terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded
thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy
and fidelity bond coverage shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty
days' prior written notice to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee. The
Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of
insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet
such requirements.
SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law
from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master
Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and modification agreement
from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed
to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such
substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting
criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and
follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption
and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting
the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian
103
that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, the executed
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing,
for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term
"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property)
subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution
of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for
all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that such costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances
by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration shall
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 or any
other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which
the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of,
the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged
Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i)
obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure
or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to
hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from
time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take
104
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into
compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for
which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or
regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such
action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest
of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected
Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or if
the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or written notice, that such Mortgaged
Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the Master
Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the
prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary
to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated
in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure, exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost
of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by
the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority: FIRST,
to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii);
SECOND, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the
Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date
on which such amounts are to be
105
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and THIRD,
as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery
so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery shall be
allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: FIRST, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and SECOND, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii).
SECTION 3.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken
in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01,
the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO
Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to
this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as
attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the
third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO
Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year
grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and
the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition shall not result in the
imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of
any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any
and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the
manner in which the Master
106
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master Servicer or
any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Master
Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and appropriate
to effect the prompt disposition and sale of the REO Property. In connection
therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the
clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues
received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to
an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)
through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall
advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but
only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer
owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer's judgment, the payment of
such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the Certificateholders
to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from existing tenants
and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to the extent
applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the date of
sale, none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
knowingly:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any
New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms
shall give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that shall constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than the
completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if
more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan
became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
107
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on
any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust
Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer,
to the effect that such action shall not cause such REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master
Servicer has received written notice from the Trustee that it has received
written consent from the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) that the specific action may be taken.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues (net
of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by
such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with
respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to
the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations
in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent Contractor to
engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be permitted to
engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.13(c), the
Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for
any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in
respect of the related
108
Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the
related Mortgage Loan. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into
the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii), for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01,
the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar
month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.13(c) or this Section
3.13(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.13(a)
(including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each REO
Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition"), each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing
activities for similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by
law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of
any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month
following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date
in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow
a sale for other consideration).
SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.15. Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Properties.
The Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase a
Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the
Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Master Servicer shall be required to continue
to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Neither the NIMS Insurer nor the
Master Servicer shall use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The
Trustee (or the
109
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall immediately effectuate the conveyance
of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, to the extent necessary, as requested, and the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly deliver all documentation to
the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicier, as applicable, and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property released pursuant hereto.
SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit
E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not
differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) have been or shall be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or
such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no event more
than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the
Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee and any related
Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee
or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it
does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute
such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings
and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian when the need therefor by the
Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage
Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the
Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has
110
become an REO Property, upon request, a copy of the Request for Release shall be
released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the Master Servicer.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee (or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall execute and deliver to the Master
Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents
reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee shall not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
(d) The Custodian and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on policies
and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the submission of
any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File electronically with a
digital signature or other identifier to designate the Servicing Officer of the
Master Servicer requesting such collateral.
SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds,
Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13. The right to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other similar
fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master
Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h)
to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw
from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06. The Master Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not
paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of
each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided in Section 8.05, the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled
to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
111
SECTION 3.19. Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator on or before
March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2005, an Officers' Certificate
(and the Trust Administrator shall forward, upon receipt, such Officers'
Certificate to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating
Agency), in a form similar to Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the parties
hereto, stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of
performance under this Agreement or similar agreements has been made under such
officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on
such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.20. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2005, the
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a
report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which includes an
assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential
mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the
most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated
in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications
that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by
Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public
accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with
the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to
those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master
Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trust Administrator. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to , the NIMS
Insurer, each Rating Agency, any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner upon
request at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator. In the event such
firm of independent certified public accountants requires the Trust
Administrator to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Trust Administrator in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trust Administrator shall deliver such letter of
agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and
the Trust Administrator has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as
to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
validity or correctness of such procedures.
112
SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority
that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to the Trust Administrator, the
NIMS Insurer and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the
expense of the Person requesting such access. In each case, access to any
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the
requesting party's acknowledgment in writing of a confidentiality agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer regarding any information that is
required to remain confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999.
Nothing in this Section 3.21 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer
to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the borrowers and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section 3.21 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.22. Solicitations.
The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it will not take any action or
permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or Affiliates, or by
any independent contractors on the Master Servicer's behalf, to personally, by
telephone or mail, solicit the Mortgagor or obligor under any Mortgage Loan for
the purpose of refinancing, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is understood and agreed that (1) offers to refinance a Mortgage Loan made
within 30 days following the the Master Servicer's receipt of a request for
verification of mortgage or payoff demand related to a Mortgagor (other than
those initiated in response to a solicitation initiated by the Master Servicer
or any of its agents or affiliates), (2) promotions undertaken by the Master
Servicer or any Affiliate thereof which are directed to the general public at
large, or designated segments thereof including, without limitation, mass
mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, calling campaigns,
newspaper, billboard, radio, website, internet and television advertisements,
(3) statements on or "stuffers" in a Mortgagor's monthly billing statement
referencing the Master Servicer's mortgage lending business, including its
refinance lending business, shall not constitute solicitation under this Section
3.22; provided, however, that similar inserts, statements, or "stuffers" are
sent to a wide variety of other mortgagors of other mortgage loans serviced by
the Master Servicer and such inserts, statements, or "stuffers" do not
specifically target the Mortgagors to refinance, in whole or in part, and/or (4)
the Master Servicer's response to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a
Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor.
SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.
(a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund,
in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer in
the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an
"Advance Facility") with any Person
113
which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund Advances and/or
Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such
facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer's obligation to
fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into
such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request
of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment,
confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To
the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance
and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that
such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee
pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be
entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to
the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person
must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that
permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the
section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request
reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Master Servicer, and include the
Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under
the Advance Facility. The Trustee and the Trustee shall have no duty or
liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an
Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation
on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.23. An
Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06
hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the
terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the
Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the
Trust Fund's entering such facility.
(b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing
Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then the Master
Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section
3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) prior to the remittance
to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in
the applicable remittance to the Trust Administrator made pursuant to Section
3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the
related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trust Administrator is hereby
authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and
Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under
the terms of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would
have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section
3.05(a)(v), as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such
Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly
to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any
advancing facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trustee.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first in first
out" (FIFO) basis.
(d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master Servicer's
right of reimbursement set
114
forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of such Advancing Person's financing of
Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then remaining unreimbursed.
(e) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other provision of this
Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance
Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23, including amendments to
add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by
the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder
but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates or any
other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a portion of the Class
CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the Residual Certificates,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without
suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto). As a condition to
access the Trust Administrator's website, the Trust Administrator may require
registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge that in
connection with the Trust Administrator's preparation of the foregoing reports,
the Trust Administrator shall rely solely upon the information provided to it in
the Remittance Reports.
In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) through

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,
the Trust Administrator shall furnish to the NIMS Insurer and each Person who at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a

in force.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,

SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports and Other Reports to the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee; Advances; Payments in
Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
(a) On the Master Servicer Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator by telecopy (or by such other means as the
Trust Administrator may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with
respect to the related Distribution Date (and the Trust Administrator shall
forward or otherwise make available such Remittance Report to Ameriquest
Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer). Such Remittance Report shall include (i)
the amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the
related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after
giving effect to such Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable
Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information
with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trust Administrator may reasonably
require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions
contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders
contemplated by Section 4.02. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible
to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master
Servicer.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trust Administrator, upon request, a statement
prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for
the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and
withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in
Section 3.04(b) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.05. Such
statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate
additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of
the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the
last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to the
Trustee, Ameriquest Mortgage Company, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to
the Trust Administrator.
134
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its
own funds, (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein
for future distribution (in which case, it shall cause to be made an appropriate
entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future
distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Master
Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an
Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master
Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances
previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's
records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trust
Administrator shall provide notice to the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by the close of
business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator on such date is less
than the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer
if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance or Nonrecoverable
135
Servicing Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any
proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall
be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating
Interest") equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal
Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its
aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month. The Master
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trust Administrator in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Such
amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed
therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to pay any amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
(f) The information set forth in the monthly tape provided to the Trust
Administrator or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be
true and correct in all material respects. In addition, the Master Servicer
shall transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Mortgage Loan, Master
Servicer agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, or charged-off.
(g) On the fifth Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the
Depositor shall cause notice to be given to the Trust Administrator regarding
whether the Depositor or any of its Affiliates are the Certificate Owners of any
Class of Certificates which benefits from a Cap Contract.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or before each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect
of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described
in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by a Realized Loss Form in the form of Exhibit N delivered to
the Trustee Administrator by the Master Servicer on the Master Servicer
Reporting Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy
Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such
136
Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses,
the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the
Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, in reduction of
interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to
the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal on the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) under Section 4.01
hereof; second, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable
to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow
available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section
4.01(a)(4) hereof; and third, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all
distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any
Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trust Administrator
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P
Certificates exceeds the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period (after taking into account
prepayments during the related Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess
shall be allocated: first, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M-10
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; third, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth,
to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the
Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M-3
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero, tenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and eleventh, to the Class M-1
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero.
Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation of
Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount
otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v). No
allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis"
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro
rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of
Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
137
(c) All Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF, until the Uncertificated
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided
however, with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses
on the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular
Interest I-LT1, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF until the Uncertificated Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date,
first to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2PF,
until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been
reduced to zero; provided however, with respect to the first three Distribution
Dates, all Realized Losses on the Initial Group II Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2, until the Uncertificated Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent
Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2PF
until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized
Losses on the Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3
and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3PF, until the Uncertificated Balance of each
such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided however, with
respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses on the
Initial Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LT3, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and
all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group III Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3PF until the Uncertificated Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero
(d) (i) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses

II Regular Interest II-LTM11 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM9 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the

II Regular Interest II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of

ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to
each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation "SUB," so that the

of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any
such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular
Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTXX.
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trust Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The
consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the
event the Trust Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original
issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to
federal withholding requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the
amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
139
SECTION 4.06. Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The
Trust Administrator shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K
(or other comparable required form containing the same or comparable information
or other information mutually agreed upon) customary for similar securities as
required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission
thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity
acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Trust Administrator shall file
(via the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms
on behalf of the Depositor (or such other entity). The Depositor hereby grants
to the Trust Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute any Form 8-K
and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney
shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trust Administrator from
the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Depositor, and not the Trust Administrator, shall be responsible for executing
each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trust Administrator within 15
days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trust Administrator
shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable
Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the
Master Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19
and the accountant's report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the
extent they have been timely delivered to the Trust Administrator. If they are
not so timely delivered, the Trust Administrator shall file an amended Form 10-K
including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are
delivered to the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic
reports resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator's inability or
failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or
willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by
the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
(c) In addition, (x) the Trust Administrator shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the Certification (the "Trust Administrator's Certification")
(provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall not undertake an analysis
of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K) and (y) the
Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and their
officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Master Servicer Certification"). The Master Servicer
Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator no
later than March 15th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day). The Trust Administrator's Certification
shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of each year (or
if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
140
preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Certification to the
Trust Administrator for filing no later than March 20th of each year (or if such
day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).
In addition, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trust Administrator's obligations under this Section
4.06 or the Trust Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Administrator and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or
the Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, then the other party, in connection with a breach of its respective
obligations under this Section 4.06 or its respective negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trust
Administrator on the other.
(d) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator shall
promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or
information.
(e) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trust
Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator
shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
(f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor
certifies that reports and certifications differing from those required under
this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,
the Trust Administrator hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate to
amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01) in
order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of
this Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trust Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment
pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities
under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.07. Pre-Funding Accounts.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain three segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts that
are each Eligible Accounts, which shall be titled (i) "Group I Pre-Funding
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the registered
holders of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-WWF1" (the "Group I Pre-Funding Account"), (ii) "Group II
Pre-Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the
registered holders
141
of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2004-WWF1" (the "Group II Pre-Funding Account") and (iii) "Group III Pre-Funding
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the registered
holders of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-WWF1" (the "Group III Pre-Funding Account"). The Trust Administrator
shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding Account and
retain therein the Original Group I Pre-Funded Amount, the Original Group II
Pre-Funding Account or the Original Group III Pre-Funding Account, as
applicable, remitted on the Closing Date to the Trust Administrator by the
Depositor. Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be held in trust by
the Trust Administrator for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set
forth herein.
(b) At the written direction of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator
shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Pre-Funding Accounts to
invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises
such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no
investment direction of the Depositor with respect to the Pre-Funding Accounts
is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the
funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. For
federal income tax purposes, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of
the Class R Certificates shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Accounts and
shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. The
Depositor shall deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding Account the amount of any
net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon
realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor. The
Pre-Funding Accounts shall not be assets of any Trust REMIC.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be withdrawn by
the Trustee as follows:
(i) on any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trust Administrator shall
withdraw from the related Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of
the Stated Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred
and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool on such
Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the
Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.09
with respect to such transfer and assignment;
(ii) if the amount on deposit in the related Pre-Funding Account
has not been reduced to zero during the Funding Period, on the day of the
termination of the Funding Period, the Trust Administrator shall deposit
into the Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding
Account to be held uninvested;
(iii) to withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in the
Pre-Funding Accounts or deposited therein in error;
142
(iv) to distribute to the related Interest Coverage Account any
income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the related
Pre-Funding Account; and
(v) to clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Accounts upon the
earlier to occur of (A) the day immediately following the end of the
Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement, with any amounts
remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders of the Certificates
then entitled to distributions in respect of principal.
SECTION 4.08. Interest Coverage Accounts.
(a) If amounts are required to be deposited in the Interest Coverage
Accounts, no later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account that is an Eligible
Account, which shall be titled (i) "Group I Interest Coverage Account, Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the registered holders of Park
Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2004-WWF1" (the "Group I Interest Coverage Account"), (ii) "Group II Pre-Funding
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the registered
holders of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-WWF1" (the "Group II Pre-Funding Account") and (iii) "Group III
Pre-Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the
registered holders of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2004-WWF1" (the "Group III Pre-Funding Account"). The Trust
Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in each Interest Coverage
Account and retain therein the related amount remitted on the Closing Date to
the Trust Administrator by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Interest
Coverage Accounts shall be held in trust by the Trust Administrator for the
Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein
(b) At the written direction of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator
shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Interest Coverage
Accounts to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable
on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate
manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment. If no investment direction of the Depositor with respect to the
Interest Coverage Accounts is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust
Administrator shall invest the funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition
of Permitted Investments. For federal income tax purposes, the holder of the
largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall be the owner of
the Interest Coverage Accounts and shall report all items of income, deduction,
gain or loss arising therefrom. All income and gain realized from investment of
funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Accounts shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted by the Trust
Administrator to the Depositor on the first Business Day following each
Distribution Date. The Depositor shall deposit in the applicable Interest
Coverage Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss without any right
of reimbursement therefor. The Interest Coverage Accounts shall not be assets of
any Trust REMIC.
143
(c) On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period and on the last
day of the Funding Period, the Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the
related Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount equal to 30 days' interest on the excess, if any, of the related Original
Pre-Funded Amount, over the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of related
Subsequent Mortgage Loans that both (i) had a Due Date during the Due Period
relating to such Distribution Date and (ii) had a Subsequent Cut-off Date prior
to the first day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, at a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the related Class
A and Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution Date, with the Pass-Through
Rate on the related Class A and Mezzanine Certificates, solely for the purposes
of the foregoing calculation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period for such Class for
such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is 30. Such withdrawal and
deposit shall be treated as a contribution of cash by the Depositor to REMIC I.
Immediately following any such withdrawal and deposit, and immediately following
the conveyance of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund on any
Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the
Interest Coverage Accounts and remit to the Depositor or its designee an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of the amount remaining in such Interest Coverage
Account over the amount that would be required to be withdrawn therefrom
(assuming sufficient funds therein) pursuant to the second preceding sentence on
each subsequent Distribution Date, if any, that shall occur during the Funding
Period or that shall be the Distribution Date immediately following the end of
the Funding Period, if no Subsequent Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Trust
Fund after the end of the Prepayment Period relating to the current Distribution
Date (assuming that LIBOR remains constant at the level of LIBOR applicable to
the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate for the Class A Certificates and
Mezzanine Certificates for the current Distribution Date).
(d) Upon the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date immediately following
the end of the Funding Period, (ii) the reduction of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to
zero or (iii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01,
any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Coverage Accounts after
distributions pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be withdrawn by the Trust
Administrator and paid to the Depositor or its designee.
SECTION 4.09. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.10. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered Holders of
Park Place Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2004-WWF1." The Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account any payments received by it (i) under the Cap Contracts for the benefit
of the Holders of the Adjustable-Rate Certificates and (ii) pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(4)(iv).
(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trust
144
Administrator has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and
therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the
amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, after taking into account amounts
received under the Cap Contracts, rather than distributing such amounts to the
Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such
amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b).
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts paid by the Cap Contracts) shall
be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE
Interest and by REMIC IV to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the
termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the
Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any
payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with
respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder
hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator
hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class
CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
(e) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to
invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises
such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no
investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the
funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments.
Interest earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account.
145
(f) For federal income tax return and information reporting, the value
assigned to the right of the Holders of the Class A-1A Certificates, the Class
A-1B and Class A-1C Certificates, the Class A-1D Certificates, the Class A-3
Certificates, the Group III Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to
receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of
any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be $78,000, $494,000, $48,000, $20,000,
$220,000 and $960,000, respectively.
146
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits A-1 through A-24. The Certificates of each Class shall be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trust
Administrator, and delivered by the Trustee or the Trust Administator on behalf
of the Trustee, and the Trustee, or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee, shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate
Registrar to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be
executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust
Administator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the
Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall
initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian
or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository,
and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as
provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trust Administrator except to another Depository that agrees to hold such
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trust Administrator is
hereby initially appointed
147
as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance
herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository
authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no
longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator (if the Trust Administrator is not the Book-Entry
Custodian) and any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any
successor Depository), to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as
the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor
Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian
shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any
such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trust Administrator
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the Trustee or, if it
so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties
as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to
obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the
Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a
reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or
voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such
record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive
Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the
case of the Class M-11 Certificates), except that any beneficial ownership that
was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000
immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in
a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry
Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions.
148
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to
be imposed upon and performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust
Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trust
Administrator shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other bank or trust
company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor
Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Certificate
Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities
hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trust Administrator shall at any
time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Administrator shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.
(b) No transfer of any Class A-4 Certificate, Class A-IO-S Certificate,
Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate (the "Private Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under
the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trust
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: (i)
if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect
the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other
cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, in its
capacity as such, or the Trust Fund), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the
Private Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities
149
laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit
the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. If a
transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Class M-11 Certificates is to be made
without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with (i) the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of
any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor),
then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it
receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee (which in the case of the Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificateholder and the Certificateholder's prospective
transferee shall be deemed to have represented such certification), to the
effect that, among other things, the transfer is being made to a qualified
institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in
accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer
of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel
described in this Section 5.02(b) shall be required in connection with the
transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to
an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
(c) No transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Class A-IO-S or
Class M-11 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan
subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates
with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified
by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless either the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of
the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, which shall be to
the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates is permissible
under applicable law, shall not constitute or result in any non-exempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and shall not
subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the
Trust Administator or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any
certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of
any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that it is not
purchasing with Plan Assets) and the Trust Administrator shall be
150
entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of
the Trust Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor
of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of the Mezzanine Certificates, Class A-IO-S
Certificates or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by
virtue of its acquisition or holding of that Certificate or interest therein,
that either (i) it is not a Plan or acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of
a Plan or with Plan Assets, (ii) for such Certificates other than the Class M-11
Certificates and Class A-IO-S it has acquired and is holding such Certificates
in reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands that there
are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters' Exemption,
including that such Certificates (other than the Class M-11 Certificates) must
be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by
Xxxxx'x, Fitch or S&P or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of
funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an
"insurance company general account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and
(3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator the NIMS Insurer and the
Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
(d)(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Registrar or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from
the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things,
that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of
the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
151
any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it shall
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to this
transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer
its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer
its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2), to the Certificate Registrar stating
that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice that
it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary
Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a
"pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required
by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition,
no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate
Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of
such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted
by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights
of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A)
above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
152
Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder
or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such
terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee
shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be
the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate
Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the
Certificate Registrar to such purported Transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in
the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate
Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trust Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations
sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess
inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record Holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the
Trust Administrator.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the party
seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions shall
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any
Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition
to or elimination of such provisions shall not cause any Trust REMIC to
cease to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the
case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a
REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee.
The Trust Administrator shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the
items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust
Administrator maintained for such
153
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust Administrator shall execute and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations
and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to
be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee, shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory
to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with
respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, the Class R Certificate for three separate Certificates,
each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I
Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest, respectively, in
each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii)
with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in
the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate
Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-IV Interest and the Class R-V Interest, respectively, in each case
that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its
customary procedures.
(i) The Trust Administrator shall cause the Certificate Registrar
(unless the Trust Administrator is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide
notice to the Trust Administrator of each transfer of a Certificate and to
provide the Trust Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate Register
on the first Business Day in March and August of each year, commencing in March
2005.
(j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation
of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void ab initio and such
Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior
permitted Holder.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to
154
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator the NIMS Insurer 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 actual knowledge by the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee, or the Trust Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created
hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section
4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar, the NIMS Insurer or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Certificate to an
Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trust Administrator
ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used
by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the Private
Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trust Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall
inform the Trust Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure
document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trust Administrator shall
maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge
during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate,
Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following
items: (i) in the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a Private
Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other disclosure document
relating to such Certificate, if any, in the form most recently provided to the
Trust Administrator; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any
amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly
statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports,
statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the
relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all
certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the
155
Trust Administrator by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence
the Master Servicer's determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was,
or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered to
the Trust Administrator by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant
to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items
shall be available from the Trust Administrator upon request at the expense of
the person requesting the same.
156
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this
Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer
herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its
qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or
into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation shall not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a
result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating
Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master
Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or
covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master
Servicer pursuant
157
hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee or The Trust Administrator may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master
Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to this Agreement or the Certificates, and any breach of a representation or
warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans, other than, in the case of the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer nor the Master Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and,
in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder),
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from
the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation
from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee) that such resignation
shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the
Class A or Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i)
of the preceding sentence, permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer,
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the
expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer acceptable to the
NIMS Insurer
158
shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities
(other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such
successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign
or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other
Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other
Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by
the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties
of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the
entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master
servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, upon reasonable advance notice in
writing, during normal business hours at the office designated by the Master
Servicer, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations with
respect to the Mortgage Loans hereunder and access to officers of the Master
Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer shall furnish to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee its
(and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other
information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall not disseminate any
information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master
Servicer's (or any such Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required
pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i)
in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be,
shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but
is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
159
SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade
by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and the NIMS
Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the
state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which
are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage
servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall be
familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the
Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing
Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall
be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no
such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be
reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the
provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions relating to insurance in
Section 3.10 or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and
charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by
the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be
inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Master Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that until the
Servicing Transfer Date, Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall be the Sub-Servicer
of the Mortgage Loans.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer,
for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation
to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to
such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith
business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own
160
expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery
resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery
exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations
of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of
termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer
shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed
on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer
either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under
Section 6.06.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the
event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master
Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 6.08. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and
a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter
into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master
Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
SECTION 6.09. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and
the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions
or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its
capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master
Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed
161
by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 6.10. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by
Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of
Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its
designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered
into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption, the
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as
if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it,
and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 6.11. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to establish
and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing Account").
The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Sub-Servicer shall
deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof,
all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing
account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the
Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in
the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of
such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans
when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of
the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trust
Administator for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other

Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made
under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in
which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the
NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement (or, if the
Master Servicer is the Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has been established that requires a
repurchase pursuant to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement) which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days
after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the
Master Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under
any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and if such proceeding
is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith, such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period
of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such
adjudication or appointment; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially
all of its property; or
163
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations; or
(vi) [reserved]; or
(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance on any
Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 1:00 p.m. New
York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer
Remittance Date.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through
(vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long
as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights or at the
direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If
a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur,
the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and
in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee or a
successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall
immediately make such Advance (subject to its own determination as to
recoverability, which Advance shall be part of Available Funds for such
Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a
successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of
such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of
any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to
execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any
and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than
ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one
Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which
at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution
Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing
to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date
164
of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any
such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination).
For purposes of this Section 7.01, each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event
of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or Trust Administrator
assigned to and working in the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's Corporate
Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is received
by the Trust Administrator of any such event and such notice references the
Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or
by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations
hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the
predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the
Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to
make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee, as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from
making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer
so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer and having a
net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer
under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities,
165
duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be
effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such
appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of 0.50% per annum. The Depositor, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
(b) [reserved]
(c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, then
the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself
directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section
3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master Servicer
has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances, but
instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trust Administrator made pursuant to Section
3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the
related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trust Administrator is hereby
authorized to pay to the terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing
Person in accordance with Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as
applicable, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the
Distribution Account to the same extent each such Master Servicer would have
been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances
in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section
3.05(a)(v), as the case may be. All Advances and Servicing Advances made
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be
reimbursed on a "first in-first out" (FIFO) basis. At such time as the Master
Servicer (or related Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and
Servicing Advances made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be
required to remit in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c)
and shall then be permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii),
Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the parties hereto hereby
agree hat Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall immediately succeed as successor
Master Servicer if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. resigns or is removed as Master
Servicer under this Agreement, subject to removal by the Trustee upon failure to
provide to the Trustee within 60 days, written notification from each Rating
Agency to the effect that such appointment shall not cause such Rating Agency to
downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01
above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02 above, the Trust Administrator shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.
166
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any
event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator becomes aware of the
occurrence of such an event, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer and to all Holders of Certificates notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights (with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected
by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such
default or Master Servicer Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a default
or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01
may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates (with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINIISTRATOR
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
References to the Trust Administrator in this Article VIII refer to Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A. in that capacity and not in its capacity as Master Servicer and
such references do not affect the Master Servicer's obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event of
Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs. The Trust 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 Trust Administrator enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator which are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to
the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to
conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default,
and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which
may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) The duties and obligations of the Trust Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are
168
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trust
Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trust
Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates
or opinions furnished to the Trust Administrator that conform to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust 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 NIMS
Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon it, under this Agreement.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall in any event require it to perform, or, in the case of the Trust
Administrator, be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may request
and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult
with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of Counsel;
169
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be under
any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by
this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder
or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as applicable, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of
the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
(which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee
may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from
such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a condition to taking any
such action;
(vi) The Trust Administrator shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trust
Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trust
Administrator not reasonably assured to the Trust Administrator by such
Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders
or the NIMS Insurer as a condition to taking any such action;
(vii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and
170
(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held
in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at
the direction of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, or the Trust Administrator may be
enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the
production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any
such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator, on behalf of
the Trustee, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap
Contracts on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the
Certificates benefiting from the Cap Contracts. The Seller, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Holders of the Certificates benefiting from the Cap
Contracts, by their acceptance of such Certificates, acknowledge and agree that
the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap
Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.
SECTION 8.03. Neither the Trustee Nor the Trust Administrator Liable
for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, the
authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the Certificates, the
acknowledgments of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator contained in Article
II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor
and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator assumes any responsibility
for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator make any
representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement (other than with respect to the Trustee, the signature of the Trustee
and with respect to the Trust Administrator, the signature of the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be accountable for the use
or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of
such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than
with respect to the Trustee, any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee
(other than by the Trust Administrator), and with respect to the Trust
Administrator, any amounts held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator in
accordance with Section 3.04.
171
SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, in its individual
capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's and Trust Administrator's Fees and Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date reinvestment earnings on funds on deposit
in the Distribution Account, which have been earned during the period commencing
on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and ending on such Distribution
Date, shall be paid to the Trust Administrator, as compensation for its duties
and obligations under this Agreement (and the Trust Administrator shall pay a
portion of such amount as compensation to the Trustee) and the Trust
Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account (but not from such
reinvestment earnings) amounts required to pay the Custodian the Custodian Fee
or to reimburse the Custodian for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred or
reimbursable to it, as such Custodian Fee and expenses (listed separately) are
set forth in writing by the Custodian to the Trust Administrator by the related
Determination Date pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Trustee and the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, or any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be indemnified
by REMIC I and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, (including the compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) in the ordinary course of
the Trustee's and the Trust Administrator's performance, as applicable, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the
Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage
Loans (for which the Master Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section
8.05(b)), (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee and The
Trust Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of its obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, in
respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to
any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, as applicable may have hereunder in its capacity as
such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable
from the Distribution Account at any time.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify each of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties
under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge
of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the Master Servicer
172
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be from the Master Servicer's
own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
(c) The Seller shall pay any annual rating agency fees of the Rating
Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without right of
reimbursement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all
times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller,
the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing
business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports
of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and
be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or, if
applicable, a trust administrator acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor Trustee or Trust
administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to
the Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee) or the NIMS Insurer, or if at any time the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, or of its respective property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustee Administrator, as applicable, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer
by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee or the Trust
173
Administrator, as applicable, so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of
such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor.
If no successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights
(or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to
perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, and appoint a successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written
instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and
appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable,
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator
as provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its
predecessor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable, shall become
effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Trust Administrator herein.
The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage
Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it
hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which
Custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the
Depositor and the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee or
trust administrator, as the case may be, all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor trustee or
trust administrator shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of
Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.
174
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust
administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of
the succession of such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders
of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator, the successor
trustee or trust administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be a party,
or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be the successor of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC
I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC
I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC
I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Master Servicer
and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
so to do, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice
to the Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
175
the holding of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the
direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Trust Administrator, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a
portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a
Custodial Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be
terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable
request of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
shall pay any and all fees and expenses of the Custodian in accordance with
Section 8.05 and the Custodial Agreement. The Trustee initially appoints the
Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator consent to such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the
Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to
enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit
of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined
capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall
the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trust Administrator shall designate an office or agency where the
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and
presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the
Trust Administrator in respect of the Certificates
176
and this Agreement may be delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trust
Administrator designates its Corporate Trust Office in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereby represents and
warrants, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, and the Depositor as of the Closing Date, that:

existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, shall
not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other
instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of
its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of
this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or
decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any
federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which
violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect
materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge, threatened
against it which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or,
in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and
adversely affect either its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or its financial condition.
SECTION 8.14. Trust Administrator Capacity.
Each of the rights and immunities set forth in this Article VIII apply to
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator and not
individually or in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder.

SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee (other than the obligation of the Trust
Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final
Distribution Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid or
deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to
occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination Price")
equal to greater of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of
REMIC I and (B) the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
(after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related
Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of
principal received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised fair
market value of the REO Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the
calendar month preceding the month of the final Distribution Date and any
unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances(in the case of fair market values
required to be determined under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the
Terminator, and the Trust Administrator, and, if the Terminator is not the NIMS
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, as of the close of business on the third Business Day
next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished
to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01);
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to
retire the note balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture
and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the time the option is exercised.
(b) Holders of at least 76% of the Voting Rights of the Class CE
Certificates, the Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to exercise
such right, the NIMS Insurer), in that order, shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only (A) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election
is less than 10% of the sum of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
178
Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (y) the Original :Pre-Funded
Amounts and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of
the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trust Administrator
and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of servicing the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the benefits of
the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if it continued
to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance of the
Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be
given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed
(a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the
15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month
of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund shall
terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the
REMIC II Regular Interests and the Certificates shall be made upon presentation
and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trust
Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment,
(iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests,
the REMIC II Regular Interests or the Certificates from and after the Interest
Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection
with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last
Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final
deposit, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly
release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the
remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on
the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not
distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trust
Administrator shall mail a second notice
179
to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to
remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall
pay to the Underwriters all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect
of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements:

90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's
final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and

860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall
sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause
to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the applicable Terminator (or in the event of
termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trust
Administrator), the Trust Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared
the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of
liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each
Trust REMIC which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.

other than the REMIC I Regular Interests, the Class CE Interest, the Class P
Interest and the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each

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

181
(d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign, and
the Trust Administrator shall file all of the Tax Returns in respect of each
REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall
be borne by the Trust Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.
The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this
Article.
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each Trust 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, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions
including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to
the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of
the person who shall serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master
Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator such
information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without
limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required
by the Trustee and the Trust Administrator to enable each of them to perform
their respective obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor
shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust Administrator within ten (10)
days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trust
Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the
valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation,
the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the
Certificates.
(f) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall take such action and
shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be
necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably
requested by it). The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not take any
action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a
REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including
but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer have received
an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) to the effect
that the contemplated action shall not, with respect to any Trust REMIC,
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the
Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer
has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the
respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which
is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
consult with the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, and the NIMS Insurer, or its
designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse
REMIC Event to occur with
182
respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such
action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the
NIMS Insurer may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost
of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by
this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable. The Trust Administrator, upon discovery
that any of the Mortgage Loans is not a "qualified mortgage" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, shall enforce the Seller's obligation to
repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Trust Administrator
shall at all times ensure that all of the assets of any Trust REMIC (other than
the Mortgage Loans) are "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5)
of the Code, as applicable.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the
"net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup
Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust
Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results

furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this

regulations as the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may prescribe.

All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless

SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or the
Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of
the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or the
Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance
be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or the Seller and (b)(1) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time
in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller and the Depositor to the Trustee of
a security interest in all of the Seller's and the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage
190
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be
deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including
the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this
Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans
and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for
the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01
and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true,
absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting
the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10. Third Party Rights.
The NIMS Insurer shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to
the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, provisions herein that refer to the "benefit" of Certificateholders
or the "interests" of the Certificateholders or actions "for the benefit of"
Certificateholders also include an implicit reference to the benefits or
interests of the NIMS Insurer, if any.

Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such

registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in

to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
A-23-5
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed

affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts.

for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer,(if any), the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer
(if any), the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer (if any) and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the

Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification (other than
in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate
A-24-4
of the Depositor). In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to
be made without registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator and the
Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Admnistrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Administrator is obligated to register or
qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such
Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be made
except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator
(i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a
Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as residual
interests in three REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed
to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
A-24-5
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS
Insurer (if any) or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
NIMS Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

and originated in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local law;
(46) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance
single-premium credit insurance policies;
(47) No Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as
applicable (as such terms are defined in Standard & Poor's LEVELS Version 5.6
Glossary Revised, Appendix E);
-13-
(48) With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1,
2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the
borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or
relating in any way to the mortgage loan transaction.
(b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, with
respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date or as of such date
specifically provided herein:
(1) Each Group I Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory
lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Mae's Selling Guide;
(2) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for
each Group I Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which
relate the Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment
and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's
equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such
credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;
(3) With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains a provision
permitting imposition of a charge upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior
to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such charge
in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee
reduction, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor
was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment
of such a charge, (iii) the prepayment charge is disclosed to the Mortgagor in
the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) the
duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date
of the Mortgage Note if the Mortgage Loan was originated on or after October 1,
2002, unless the loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more
than three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the borrower was
notified in writing of such reduction in the prepayment period, and (v)
notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Master Servicer
shall not impose such prepayment charge in any instance when the mortgage debt
is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default in making the loan
payments;
(4) All points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage Loan were
disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and
federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an
original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an
unprofitable origination, no Mortgagor was charged "points and fees" (whether or
not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan
and such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae's
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Selling
Guide;
(5) All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not
financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the
origination and servicing of each Group I Mortgage Loan haves been disclosed in
writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation;
-14-
(6) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was encouraged or required to
select a mortgage loan product offered by the Originator which is a higher cost
product designed for a less creditworthy Mortgagor, unless at the time of the
Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered by the Originator;
(7) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was required to purchase any
credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of
obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single
premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in
connection with the origination of the Group I Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from
any Group I Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance
policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Group
I Mortgage Loan
(8) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined under
the Arkansas Home Loan Protection Act, effective as of July 14, 2003;
(9) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined under
Kentucky State Statute KRS 360.100, effective as of June 25, 2003;
(10) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in
the New Jersey Home Ownership Act, effective as of November 27, 2003;
(11) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in
the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act, effective as of January 1, 2004; and
(12) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High-Risk Home Loan" as defined in
the Illinois High-Risk Home Loan Act, effective as of January 1, 2004.
SECTION 7. REPURCHASE OBLIGATION FOR DEFECTIVE DOCUMENTATION AND
FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY.
(a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 6 shall not
be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other documents
evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the
Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any
material document was not transferred by the Seller (as listed on the Trustee's
Preliminary Exception Report) as part of, any Mortgage File or of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6
that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or
designee (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46) and (48) of
Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in
and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of
the
-15-
Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee), the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing
documentation which was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or
materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation and
warranty (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46) and (48) of
Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in
and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of
the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee), the Seller
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase
the affected Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price or (ii)
pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the
removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. In the event that any Mortgage Loan is
subject to a breach of the representation and warranty (37) and (45) in Section
6(a) resulting in the Master Servicer's inability to collect all or part of the
Prepayment Charge from the Mortgagor, in lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be
obligated to remit to the Master Servicer (for deposit in the Collection
Account) any shortfall in the Prepayment Charge collected upon the Mortgagor's
voluntary Principal Prepayment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the earlier of
discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of the
representation (37) and (45) of the Seller set forth in Section 6(a) above which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the
scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net of any
amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect
of such Prepayment Charge.
The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of
such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule
and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any
repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by deposit in the
Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser, or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice
within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90) days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall either (i)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
-16-
Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set
forth in this Section 7 to cure, remit a Prepayment Charge shortfall, repurchase
or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing or defective material document
or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or
Section 6.
SECTION 8. CLOSING; PAYMENT FOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS. The closing of
the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York City
office of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP at 10:00 AM New York City time on the
Closing Date.
The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(a) All of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
the date as of which they are made and no event shall have occurred
which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a
default under this Agreement;
(b) The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser
shall have received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the
time of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of
this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to
the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the

(d) All other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have been
complied with.
Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause

and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as specified

collection practices, and similar nonpublic, unaudited financial
information; and
(i) Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as
the Purchaser or the Underwriters may reasonably request.
SECTION 10. COSTS. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the
Purchaser or any other Person to the extent that the Purchaser or such other

SECTION 12. [Reserved].
SECTION 13. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The sale
and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is
mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is
unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages
would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the
-19-
losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's
failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in
the Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this
Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the
conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the purchase price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the purchase price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 13
shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION 14. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if
to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx
0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, Attention: General
Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in
writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 0000 Xxxx
& Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000,
Attention: General Counsel, or to such other address as the Seller may designate
in writing to the Purchaser.
SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
-20-
SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller and the Purchaser agree
to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the
others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. The Seller agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the
Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other
instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent
termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust
Fund.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES,
OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS)
AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY
TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. The
NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be a third party beneficiary hereof and may enforce
the terms hereof as if a party hereto.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof
be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage
-21-
Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession" for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d)
hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names
to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the
date first above written.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
: ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
____________________________, being duly sworn, deposes, represents and
warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of ____________________________ (the
"Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
______________, the record owner of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-WWF1, Class [R] [R-X] (the "Residual
Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the
Residual Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________________, 2004 and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for
its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received
an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by
any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or
organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers
of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended that applies to all transfers of the Residual
Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor
or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker,
nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that
the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Residual Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the
meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the
transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes
due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
F-2-1
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register
the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things,
an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner
expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or
believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and
agreement are false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be owned,
directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is ____________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the
Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were issued (in
particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the
Trust Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and
negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trust Administrator in the event that the
Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the
Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Residual
Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Residual
Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the
person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the Owner intends to
pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as they become due,
fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows generated by the Residual Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Residual
Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be
unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates with the intent
to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity that will not have
sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Residual
Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.
F-2-2
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the
Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required
by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class
R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows,
or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are
false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the
Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit, which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Residual Certificates to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the
Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted
Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation or partnership (or other entity treated as a corporation or
partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or under
the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(except, in the case of a partnership or entity treated as a partnership, to the
extent provided in regulations), an estate the income of which is subject to
United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or a trust other
than a "foreign trust" described in section 7701(a)(31) of the Code.

its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate
that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the
future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may
not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may
