the assignment must be by "[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]";
(iv) the originals of all intervening Assignments of Mortgage not included

acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter.
In the event the Seller delivers to the Trustee certified copies of any
document or instrument set forth in 2.01(b) because of a delay caused by the
public recording office in returning any recorded document, the Seller shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 60 days of the Closing Date, an Officer's
Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state that the
recorded document has not been delivered to the Trustee due solely to a delay
caused by the public recording office, and (iii) state the amount of time
generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a
document submitted for recordation.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot
deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments
or (c) the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements set forth above, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the
applicable public recording office in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, or
because the title policy has not been delivered to the Seller or the Depositor
by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (c) above, the Depositor
shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above,
such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with
evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office and in the case of clause (c) above, if such lender's title
policy is received by the Depositor, upon receipt thereof.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and
in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee shall (at the
Seller's expense) (i) affix the Trustee's name to each Assignment of Mortgage,
as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within
thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (iii) cause to be delivered for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the
assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any
assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the
information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the
Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, and the Trustee need not
cause to be recorded (a) any assignment referred to in clause (iii) above which
relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee (at the Depositor's
expense, provided such expense has been previously approved by the Depositor in
writing) within 20 days of the Closing Date, acceptable to the Rating Agencies,
the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and
the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is
identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage
as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successors
and assigns.
44
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, at the
Depositor's own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]" in the field "[IDENTIFY THE
FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the Trustee and (b) the code
"[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field "Pool Field" which
identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not
permit either Servicer to, and each Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the
codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the
term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee is authorized to appoint any bank or trust company approved
by the Depositor as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to in
this Section 2.01, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose and
any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered to the Custodian and any
Officer's Certificates delivered with respect thereto shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Custodian.
(d) It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in
this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties to
this Agreement 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. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties
to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of the
Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then (a) 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; (b) the conveyance provided for in this
Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all
amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or
any Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code; and (d) 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 benefit of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (e)
shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any
purpose other than for perfection of such security interests unless, and then
only to
45
the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in writing). The
Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor, 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.
(e) The Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all right, title and interest in such Subsequent Mortgage
Loans (which does not include servicing rights), including all interest and
principal due on or with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans on or after
the related Subsequent Transfer Date and all interest and principal payments on
such Subsequent Mortgage Loans received prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date in
respect of installments of interest and principal due thereafter, but not
including principal and interest due on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to
the related Subsequent Transfer Date, any insurance policies in respect of such
Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
(f) Upon one Business Day's prior written notice to the Trustee, the
related Servicer and the Rating Agencies, on any Business Day during the
Pre-Funding Period designated by the Depositor, the Depositor, DLJMC, the
related Servicer and the Trustee shall complete, execute and deliver a
Subsequent Transfer Agreement so long as no Rating Agency has provided notice
that the execution and delivery of such Subsequent Transfer Agreement will
result in a reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates.
The transfer of Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other property and rights
relating to them on a Subsequent Transfer Date is subject to the satisfaction of
each of the following conditions:
(i) each Subsequent Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date
satisfies the representations and warranties applicable to it under this
Agreement as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however,
that with respect to a breach of a representation and warranty with respect to

conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.01(f), the Trustee shall remit to
the Depositor the Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount related to the Subsequent

from funds in the Pre-Funding Account.
The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify
compliance with the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, except for
its own receipt of documents specified above, and shall be entitled to rely on
the required Officer's Certificate.
SECTION 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodian of the documents
identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G
and declares that the Custodian on its behalf hold and will hold the documents
delivered to the Custodian constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the
Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust
Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession
through the Custodian of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas or the State
of Illinois, as directed by the Seller, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies.
The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and the Servicers an Initial Certification in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and
only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian
will acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to
such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
48
actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian is required to
deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and the Servicers a Final
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Custodian will list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian
shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to
transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.
The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 120 days from
the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct
or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute
for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee
within 120 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing
at the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall such substitution or repurchase occur more than 540 days from the
Closing Date, except that if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any
documents by the appropriate recording office, then such substitution or
repurchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date; and further
provided, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment
of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee's failure to record such
Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or
cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Trustee's failure to record
such Assignment of Mortgage. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each
Rating Agency within 360 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage
Loan (a) the Assignment of Mortgage which has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to
location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every
90 days thereafter until the Assignment of Mortgage for the related Mortgage
Loan is returned to the Trustee or the dispute as to location or status has been
resolved. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected
prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall
not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. No substitution is permitted to
be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The
Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in
the Certificate Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding
such Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at such entity's request such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance
of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a
49
member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System
in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations.
Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian is required to execute
and deliver on the Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the
Trustee and the related Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the
documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian shall
acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under a
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.
Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, not later than 90 days after the end
of the Pre-Funding Period, the Custodian is required to deliver to the
Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and the related Servicer a Final
Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit H with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part
of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will be required to list such
as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that neither the
Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any
endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party
so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or
(ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the
assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which
the assignment relates. The Seller shall cure any such defect or repurchase or
substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.02(a).
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure,
substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against
the Seller.
The Trustee shall pay to the Custodian from time to time reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder or under the Custodial
Agreement, and the Trustee shall pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
Custodial Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
arise from its negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Seller and Servicers.
(a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable
to it set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated
herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so
specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be
specified.
(b) Wilshire, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the representations
and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule IIIA hereto, and by this
reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other
date as may be specified.
(c) Ocwen, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the representations
and warranties set forth in Schedule IIIB hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date,
or if so specified therein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date.
(d) Each of Wilshire and Ocwen, in their capacity as Servicer, will use its
reasonable efforts to become a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply
in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.
(e) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Schedule IV as applicable hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to
the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other
date as may be specified.
(f) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(e) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other
parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 120 days of the earlier of its
discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any
representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(e) which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller to the Depositor, it shall cure such breach in
all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such
120-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner
set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i)
above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and
the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any actual out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such
breach. With respect to any representation and warranties described in this
Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge if it is discovered
by the Depositor, the Seller or
51
the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate
and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01(b), with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be
part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section
2.03(e) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and
shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of transfer
or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest
in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Trustee
shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is
less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage
Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly
payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be repurchased
or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account on or
before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month
following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to
repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the
52
Repurchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel if required by Section
2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at
such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer
title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under
this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan
as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
the Mortgage Loans that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good title has been
conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans

unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i)
result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on the Trust
Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2)
and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests. The "tax matters person" with
respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 shall be the Holder of the Class

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The obligations of each of Wilshire and
Ocwen hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans shall be limited to
the Wilshire Serviced Loans and the Ocwen Serviced Loans, respectively; and with
respect to the duties and obligations of each Servicer, references herein to
"Mortgage Loans" or "related Mortgage Loans" shall be limited to the Wilshire
Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in
the case of Wilshire and the Ocwen Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds
thereof and related REO Properties), in the case of Ocwen, and in no event shall
any Servicer have any responsibility or liability with respect to any of the
other Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Servicing
Agreement or any Credit Risk Management Agreement to the contrary, neither
Servicer shall have any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management
Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk
Manager under its Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action
taken or not taken by such Servicer, pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit
Risk Manager. In connection with such servicing and administration, each
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any
and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such
servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and
authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that a Servicer shall not take any action that is
materially inconsistent with or materially prejudices the interests of the Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests
of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement
unless such action is specifically called for by the terms hereof. The Trustee
will provide a limited power of attorney to each Servicer, prepared by each
Servicer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, to permit each Servicer to
act on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement. Each Servicer hereby
indemnifies the Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney. Each
Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same
manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio
in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. Each Servicer
further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when such Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes
it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or
56
re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the
Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result
of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection
with the MERS(R) System, shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to such
Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.05(a), the
Servicers shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any
Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage
Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary
or final regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a
proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a
Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) which would cause
any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name or in
the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Depositor and the Trustee, when such Servicer believes it appropriate in its
reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor
and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or
both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that such Servicer is not
permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such documents and a written request signed by an
authorized officer, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such
documents and deliver them to such Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, each Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on any Mortgaged Property (to the
extent the Servicer has been notified that such taxes or assessments have not
paid by the related Mortgagor or the owner or the servicer of the related First
Mortgage Loan), which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08; provided, however, that each Servicer shall be
required to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable by such Servicer out of Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise out of the proceeds of the related
Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that such payments shall be advanced when
the tax, premium or other cost for which payment is intended is due to the
extent the Servicer has been notified that such payment has not been made at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date. The costs incurred by a
Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added
to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request
of a Servicer, and furnish to such Servicer and any Subservicer such documents
as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or any Subservicer to
carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee
hereby grants to each Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such
57
duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicers or any
Subservicers under such powers of attorney.
If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the
Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the
related Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior
senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:
(i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no
higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; and
(ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate existing
senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced
senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum
interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior
lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and
(iii) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to
negative amortization.
SECTION 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Subservicers.
(a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the
related Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement,
provided that the Subservicer is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac
seller/servicer in good standing. A Servicer may perform any of its servicing
responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such
servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by such Servicer of the
Subservicer shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those
of such Servicer. Each Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any
Subservicer engaged by such Servicer from its own funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Servicer shall be entitled to outsource
one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an "Outsourcer")
that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer, so long as
such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of such Servicer's
obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related
Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by a Servicer of any
such Outsourcer shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those
of such Servicer, and such Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the
Outsourcer from such Servicer's own funds.
(b) At the cost and expense of a Servicer, without any right of
reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the applicable
Collection Account, such Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a), provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit such Servicer, at such
Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In the event that a Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
are terminated
58
pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by the Trustee, such
Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and
responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. Each
Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to
terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from such
Servicer's own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor,
Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and its Subservicer, a Servicer
and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through the
Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, no Servicer shall be relieved of its
obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and shall be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it
alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and Outsourcer
for indemnification of such Servicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, by such
Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.
For purposes of this Agreement, a Servicer shall be deemed to have received
any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans that are received by a related Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable,
regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer or
Outsourcer, as applicable, to such Servicer.
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating
to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or an Outsourcer shall be deemed
to be between the Subservicer or an Outsourcer, and the related Servicer alone,
and the Depositor, the Trustee and the other Servicer shall have no obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation,
duty or liability of the Depositor and Trustee or the Trust Fund to pay a
Subservicer's fees and expenses.
SECTION 3.03 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.04 Trustee to Act as Servicer.
(a) In the event that any Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i)
liable for losses of such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts
or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to
make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or (iii)
deemed to have made any representations and warranties of such Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof.
Each Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of
such Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating
to each Subservicing Agreement or substitute Subservicing Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and hereunder by such Servicer and
an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
59
(b) [reserved]
SECTION 3.05 Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Accounts;
Certificate Account; Pre-Funding Account; Capitalized
Interest Account.
(a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on
all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans have become
Liquidated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall proceed in accordance with the
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers to
collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same
shall become due and payable to the extent consistent with this Agreement and,
consistent with such standard, with respect to Mortgage Loans for which a
Servicer collects escrow payments, shall ascertain and estimate Escrow Payments
and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments
payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when
they become due and payable. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, each
Servicer may also 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 in such Servicer's determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that
such Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any
Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any modification that would change
the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in
connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in
connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not
inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), or extend the final maturity
date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of such Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; and that no
such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the
rate at which the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues. In
the event of any such arrangement, the related Servicer shall make Advances on
the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01
during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Each
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required
is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts,
in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "[Servicer's name], in
trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp.,
Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-1" or, if
established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the related Servicer,
"[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name],
as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for
[Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in
[Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". Each Collection Account shall be an
Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in a Collection Account shall at all times
be either invested in Eligible
60
Investments or shall be fully insured to the full extent permitted under
applicable law. Funds deposited in a Collection Account may be drawn on by the
applicable Servicer in accordance with Section 3.08.
Each Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis and
retain therein, the following collections remitted by Subservicers or payments
received by such Servicer and payments made by such Servicer subsequent to the
Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the
Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including
all Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to
the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing
Fee Rate;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans including amounts
required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.09 (other than proceeds to be
held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section
3.09);
(v) all Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(vi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the Mortgage Loans, the
Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for the Prepayment Period. The
aggregate of such deposits shall be made from such Servicer's own funds,
without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum amount per month equal to the
Compensating Interest Payment, if any, for the Mortgage Loans and that
Distribution Date;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer in respect of
net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder including all
collected Prepayment Penalties.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection Account shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by such
Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 3.05, each Servicer may deduct from amounts received
by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any
Scheduled Payment representing the applicable Servicing Fee. In the event that a
Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time
withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection Account to
withdraw such amount from such Collection Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by
delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining such Collection Account which
61
describes the amounts deposited in error in such Collection Account. Each
Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made by
it pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall
be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08.
(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The
Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate Account and
retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by each Servicer to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.08(viii);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in
connection with any losses on Eligible Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account.
In the event that a Servicer shall remit to the Trustee any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such
amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the
Certificate Account. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08(b).
In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the
Certificate Account at the direction of a Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which a Collection Account, the Certificate Account
or the Pre- Funding Account is maintained shall either hold such funds on
deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by
the related Servicer (in the case of a Collection Account), the Trustee (in the
case of the Certificate Account) or the Depositor (in the case of the
Pre-Funding Account), in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
(i) in the case of a Collection Account, the second Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the Certificate
Account and the Pre-Funding Account, the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
its maturity. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such
balances or investment of funds on deposit in a Collection Account shall be for
the benefit of the related Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in
a Collection Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the related Servicer in the related
Collection Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable
for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of
investment of funds held in a Collection Account or the Pre-Funding Account. All
income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as
compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount
of any realized losses in the Certificate Account incurred in any such account
in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee in
the
62
Certificate Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any
such balances or investment of funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall
be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it monthly.
(e) Each Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related
Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
each Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed
change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.
(f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Pre- Funding Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor
shall remit the Pre-Funding Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions
for such Subsequent Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(f), with respect to
the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall remit to the
Depositor the applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of the
purchase price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
If any funds remain in the Pre-Funding Account on April 24, 2003, to the
extent they represent interest earnings on the amounts originally deposited into
the Pre-Funding Account, the Trustee shall distribute them to the order of the
Depositor. The remaining funds in the Pre-Funding Account shall be transferred
to the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal distributions to
the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates in the manner and priority
set forth herein on the April 2003 Distribution Date.
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the
Depositor shall remit the Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for
deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Business Day prior to each
of the February 2003, March 2003 and April 2003 Distribution Dates, the Trustee
shall transfer from each Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account
an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement for such Distribution
Date. On each of the February 2003 and March 2003 Distribution Dates, the
Overfunded Interest Amount shall be withdrawn from the Capitalized Interest
Account and paid to the Depositor. Any funds remaining in the Capitalized
Interest Account immediately after the April 2003 Distribution Date shall be
paid to the Depositor.
SECTION 3.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Accounts; Permitted
Withdrawals from Escrow Accounts; Payments of Taxes,
Insurance and Other Charges.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative
of current law, the applicable Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit
or demand accounts, titled, "Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities
Corp., Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-1" or, if
established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the related Servicer,
"[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]"
63
or "[Subservicer's name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance
custodial account for [Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various
owners of interest in [Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". The Escrow
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may
be drawn on by the related Servicer in accordance with Section 3.06(b). The
creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form
of Exhibit P-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with a Servicer, or
by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit P-2 hereto, in the case of an
account held by a depository other than a Servicer. A copy of such certification
shall be furnished to the Depositor and Trustee.
(b) Each Servicer shall deposit in its Escrow Account or Accounts on a
daily basis within one Business Day of receipt and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the related Mortgage Loans,
for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required
under the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to
the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
Each Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect
such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section
3.06(c). Each Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds
deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution, other
than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To
the extent required by law, the applicable Servicer shall pay interest on
escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be
non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such
purposes.
(c) Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the
related Servicer only:
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water
rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard
insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related
Mortgage;
(ii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by such
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a related Mortgage Loan,
but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent
late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the
amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv) for transfer to the related Collection Account to reduce the principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
64
(v) for application to restore or repair of the related Mortgaged Property
in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 3.09;
(vi) to pay to such Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by
law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in such Escrow Account; and
(vii) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.07 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans; Inspections.
(a) Each Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable
access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all
accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement,
such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the office designated by such Servicer.
(b) Each Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties as often as deemed
necessary by such Servicer in such Servicer's sole discretion, to assure itself
that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if
any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, each Servicer shall conduct
subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may
be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. Each Servicer shall keep a
written or electronic report of each such inspection.
SECTION 3.08 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts and
Certificate Account.
Each Servicer may (and in the case of clause (viii) below, shall) from time
to time make withdrawals from the related Collection Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to such Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by such
Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.14, and to pay to such Servicer, as additional servicing
compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or
credited to such Collection Account;
(ii) to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to
amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance
was made (including without limitation, late recoveries of payments,
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, amounts representing proceeds of
other insurance policies, if any, covering the related Mortgaged Property,
rental and other income from REO Property and proceeds of any purchase or
repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan, to the extent received by such
Servicer);
(iii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously
made from collections or proceeds of any of the Mortgage Loans;
65
(iv) to reimburse such Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
such Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (A) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on such
Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest
(including, without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
amounts representing proceeds of other insurance policies, if any, covering
the related Mortgaged Property, rental and other income from REO Property and
proceeds of any purchase or repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan with
respect to such Mortgage Loan) respecting which any such advance was made, (B)
for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 and unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Advances as provided in Section 3.11(a)(iv)(A) hereof
and (C) in the case of Ocwen, for (i) unpaid Servicing Fees not otherwise
collected from Liquidation Proceeds and (ii) deboarding fees pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(iv)(A) or Section 6.04(b);
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property
acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vi) to reimburse such Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by
any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof;
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in such Collection Account and not
required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount
equal to the Available Funds plus any related Expense Fees (other than the
Servicing Fee) for such Distribution Date and any Prepayment Penalties
received in respect of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the collection of funds
included in the definition of "Available Funds" and remit such amount to the
Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account; and
(ix) to clear and terminate such Collection Account upon termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan basis for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection
Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Prior to making any
withdrawal from a Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the related
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by such Servicer to be
a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for
distributions to the Certificateholders and the Credit Risk Manager, if
applicable, in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the
amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may
from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
66
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and any investment income earned for
the related Distribution Date;
(ii) to withdraw and return to the applicable Servicer for deposit to the
Collection Account any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not
required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Mortgage Impairment
Insurance; Claims; Restoration of Mortgaged Property.
Each Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against
losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of
the related Mortgage Loans, which policy shall provide coverage in an amount
equal to the amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of
(A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (B) an amount
such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming co-insurer. Any amounts collected
by a Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited in the related Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.08. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a standard hazard insurance policy, and there shall have been a loss
which would have been covered by such policy, the related Servicer shall deposit
in the related Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause,
such amount to be deposited from such Servicer's funds, without reimbursement
therefor. Upon request of the Trustee, a Servicer shall cause to be delivered to
the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the
insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee. In
connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, each Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by a Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the related Escrow Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or
property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the
Mortgagor, in accordance with such Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall
be deposited in the related Collection Account (subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Section 3.08). Any costs incurred by a Servicer in maintaining such insurance
shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of payments by
the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, each Servicer shall
be required to pay the costs of maintaining any insurance contemplated by this
Section 3.09 only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment
of such Servicer, will be recoverable.
67
A Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior to releasing
any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. At a minimum, each Servicer shall comply with the following
conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds:
(i) such Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of
completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
(ii) such Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority
of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers
with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; and
(iii) pending repairs or restoration, such Servicer shall place the
Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account.
If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the related Servicer
is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim
in the name of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
Each Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale"
provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny
assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to
be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related Servicer
shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause
applicable thereto, provided, however, that such Servicer shall not exercise
such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights
would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary
Insurance Policy, if any.
If a Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to
enforce such "due-on- sale" clause, such Servicer shall enter into (i) an
assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has
been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event such
Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor
remain liable under the Mortgage Note and such Servicer has the prior consent of
the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement
with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original
Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property
is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which such Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note, including without limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the
related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan or the outstanding
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
68
Subject to each Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the
extent set forth in this Section 3.10, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property
has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into
an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from
liability on the Mortgage Loan, such Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause
to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in
writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom
the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to
the Trustee for execution by it, the related Servicer shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this
Section 3.10 have been met in connection therewith. The related Servicer shall
notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original 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. Any fee collected by a Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by such
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) (i) Each Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default,
each Servicer will decide whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged Properties
securing such Mortgage Loans, (ii) write off the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans as bad debt, (iii) take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv)
accept a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the
total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged
Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short refinancing (a payoff of the
Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in
order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a
sale of the Mortgaged Property), (v) arrange for a repayment plan, or (vi) agree
to a modification in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such
decision, the related Servicer shall take such action as (i) such Servicer would
take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held
for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, (iii) such Servicer shall determine consistently with
Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Trustee and
Certificateholders, and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the insurer
under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that such Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or
towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine in its sole
discretion (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds
69
of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of
such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through
Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of
withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The related Servicer shall be
responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds and as provided
in Section 3.08(iv)(A).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one hundred twenty (120) days
delinquent, the related Servicer shall obtain a broker's price opinion with
respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the cost of obtaining any such
broker's price opinion to be reimbursable to the related Servicer as a Servicing
Advance pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) or (iv). After obtaining the related
broker's price opinion, the related Servicer will determine whether any
Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other
liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property. If the related Servicer
determines that (x) no Significant Net Recovery is possible or (y) the potential
Net Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related
Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating
circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or
other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it may, at its discretion,
charge off such delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with subsections (a)(iii)
and (a)(iv) below. As to any Ocwen Serviced Loan:
(A) prior to obtaining the broker's price opinion described above and
thereafter except as described in clause (B) below, Ocwen shall have
absolutely no obligation to perform loss mitigation or default management
services (other than its standard collection activities) with respect to
any such Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that Ocwen shall be entitled to
receive its Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan through the
120th day of delinquency; and
(B) if Ocwen determines that (x) a Significant Net Recovery is
possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the
related Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Net Recoveries are
anticipated to be an amount, determined by Ocwen in its good faith judgment
and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is sufficient to
warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related
Mortgaged Property, then Ocwen shall Special Service the related Mortgage
Loan and shall receive as servicing compensation (i) $100 per month from
the date on which Ocwen begins to Special Service such Mortgage Loan
through foreclosure or liquidation and (ii) $135 per month for the period
during which Ocwen is Special Servicing the related REO Property, provided
that, if Ocwen acts as Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this clause (B), Ocwen shall receive such compensation in lieu
of its Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (A) above. As to any Ocwen Serviced
Loan for which Ocwen is to receive the compensation described in the
previous sentence in lieu of its Servicing Fee, Ocwen shall report such
information to the Trustee together with the information reported to the
Trustee on each Servicer Data Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06
hereof.
70
(iii) If the related Servicer determines based on the broker's price
opinion obtained under paragraph (a)(ii) above and other relevant considerations
that (x) no Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings
or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property or (y) the potential Net
Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer
in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that
is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation
of the related Mortgaged Property, it will be obligated to charge off the
related Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days
delinquent. Once a Mortgage Loan has been charged off, the related Servicer will
discontinue making Advances, the related Servicer will not be entitled to any
additional servicing compensation (except as described in paragraphs(a)(ii) or
(a) (iv) of this Section 3.11), the Charged Off Loan will give rise to a
Realized Loss, and the related Servicer will follow the procedures described in
paragraph (a)(iv) below. If the related Servicer determines that (x) a
Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other
liquidation of the Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Net Recoveries are
anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good
faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is
sufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the
related Mortgaged Property, such Servicer may continue to make Advances or
Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan that has become 180 days
delinquent and will notify the Credit Risk Manager of that decision.
(iv) (A) With respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off
Loan, Ocwen shall notify Wilshire of its decision to charge off such
Mortgage Loan and the servicing of such Ocwen Serviced Loan will be
transferred to Wilshire, such transfer to be initiated by Ocwen on the 15th
day of the month (or if the 15th of the month is not a Business Day, the
next Business Day) following the month in which such Ocwen Serviced Loan
becomes a Charged Off Loan and may be serviced, at Wilshire's discretion,
using Wilshire Special Servicing as provided in paragraph (iv)(B) below.
Immediately upon transfer of any Ocwen Serviced Loan to Wilshire, Ocwen
shall be reimbursed for all unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances
and unpaid Servicing Fees relating to such transferred Mortgage Loan out of
funds on deposit in the Collection Account. Ocwen shall provide an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee no later than the related Servicer
Remittance Date evidencing the amount to be reimbursed pursuant to the
previous sentence with respect to any Mortgage Loans transferred by Ocwen
to Wilshire. With respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan transferred to
Wilshire pursuant to this clause (iv)(A) prior to such Mortgage Loan being
serviced by Ocwen for a period of one year, Ocwen shall receive $25 as a
deboarding fee. Ocwen shall notify the Trustee of any Ocwen Serviced Loan
that is transferred to Wilshire. Ocwen shall provide servicing information
on such transferred Mortgage Loans as reasonably requested by Wilshire
including, but not limited to, an electronic data tape containing the
fields set forth in Exhibit T hereto, and an electronic file or hard copy
containing collection comments, outstanding advance balances, payment
histories, and hardcopies of any imaged files. Ocwen shall be responsible
for any other reasonable actions required by Accepted Servicing Practices
relating to the transfer of servicing and the charging off of such Mortgage
Loans. All costs of such transfer of the electronic data tape and files
relating to Ocwen Serviced Loans shall be paid by Ocwen. Ocwen shall not be
responsible for Wilshire's boarding costs of such transferred Mortgage
Loans. Wilshire shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of any
Advance or Servicing Advance on a transferred Mortgage Loan.
71
(B) Any (x) Wilshire Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan and
(y) any Ocwen Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan and is
transferred to Wilshire pursuant to paragraph (iv)(A) above may continue to
be serviced by Wilshire for the Certificateholders using Wilshire Special
Servicing. Wilshire will accrue, but not be entitled to any Servicing Fees
and reimbursement of expenses in connection with such Charged Off Loans,
except to the extent of funds available from the aggregate amount of
recoveries on all Charged Off Loans. Such aggregate recovery amounts on
Charged Off Loans shall be paid to Wilshire first, as reimbursement of any
outstanding and unpaid expenses, and second, as any accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees. Wilshire will only be entitled to previously accrued
Servicing Fees and expenses on any such Charged Off Loans. Wilshire will
not be entitled to receive any future unaccrued Servicing Fees or expenses
from collections on such Charged Off Loans. Any Charged Off Loan serviced
by Wilshire using Wilshire Special Servicing shall be so serviced until the
Release Date described below. Any Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans
received prior to the Release Date will be treated as Liquidation Proceeds
and included in Available Funds.
On the date (the "Release Date") which is no more than six months after the
date on which Wilshire begins servicing any Charged Off Loans using Wilshire
Special Servicing, unless specific Net Recoveries are anticipated by Wilshire on
a particular Charged Off Loan (in which case the Release Date will be delayed
until all such specific anticipated Net Recoveries are received), such Charged
Off Loan will be released from the Trust Fund, will no longer be an asset of any
REMIC, and will be transferred to the Class X-2 Certificateholders, without
recourse, and thereafter (i) those Holders will be entitled to any amounts
subsequently received in respect of any such Released Loans, (ii) the Majority
in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service
any such Released Loan and (iii) the Majority in Interest Class X-2
Certificateholder may sell any such Released Loan to a third party.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if at any time after a Mortgage Loan has
been Charged Off and prior to six months after the date on which Wilshire begins
servicing such Charged Off Loan using Wilshire Special Servicing, Wilshire
determines that there will not be any Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loan
under any circumstances, Wilshire may release such Charged Off Loan to the
Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the previous sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures described above in this
subsection 3.11(a)(iv) relating to the treatment of Charged Off Loans may be
modified at any time at the discretion of the Majority in Interest Class X-1
Certificateholder, with the consent of Wilshire, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and if the modification would adversely affect or
materially increase the obligations of Ocwen, with the consent of Ocwen, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Majority in Interest Class X-1 Certificateholder change the fee
structure relating to Charged Off Loans in a manner that would cause fees to be
paid to Wilshire other than from recoveries on Charged Off Loans.
The Trustee shall track collections received by Wilshire on any Charged Off
Loans based upon loan level data provided to the Trustee by Wilshire on each
Servicer Data Remittance Date in a report in the form of Exhibit U hereto,
identifying the Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period that Wilshire
will continue to service until the related Release Date using Wilshire Special
Servicing. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall verify, based on the
recovery and expense
72
information provided by Wilshire on the related Servicer Data Remittance Date,
(i) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees to be paid to
Wilshire and expenses to be reimbursed to Wilshire on such Charged Off Loans as
of the related Due Period and (ii) the amount of Net Recoveries on such Charged
Off Loans for such Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely,
without independent verification, on the loan level data provided by Wilshire
that identifies the recovery amounts and the outstanding and unpaid expenses on
any Charged Off Loan in order to verify the amount in clause (ii) of the
previous sentence. The Trustee will be responsible for independently verifying
the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees described in clause
(i) of the second preceding sentence to be paid to Wilshire.
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
in the event the related Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
or if the Trustee otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of
such Mortgaged Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for
by such Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the related Servicer shall
promptly provide the Trustee with a written report of environmental inspection.
(vi) In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that the
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
the related 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 inspection report, together with the Servicing
Advances made by such Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the
Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure
costs and Servicing Advances are less than or equal to the estimated value of
the Mortgaged Property, then the related Servicer may, in its reasonable
judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, choose to proceed
with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related
environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation
Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse
such Servicer, such Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in
the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. In the event the
related Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property from the related Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof, such Servicer shall have no further obligation to service
such Mortgage Loan under the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Mortgage Loan will be transferred to Wilshire in accordance with paragraph (iv)
above.
(b) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The related Servicer shall
ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the
Trustee's capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property,
the related Servicer shall in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the purpose of its
73
prompt disposition and sale. The related Servicer, either itself or through an
agent selected by such Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the
REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner
that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The
related Servicer may rent such property, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the
sale of such REO Property on such terms and conditions and for such periods as
the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The related Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee on or
before each Distribution Date a statement with respect to any REO Property
covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous calendar month and
such Servicer's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any
rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous
calendar month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as
the Trustee shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The
net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the related Collection Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The related Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and
withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to
foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of
the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and
any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such
tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and
delivering the same to the Trustee for filing. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, with respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off
Loan and is transferred to Wilshire pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv)(A) above,
Ocwen shall not file a Form 1099C or other tax report relating to the
forgiveness of debt of the related Mortgagor.
To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the
related Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied
as a reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property),
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount
required above. Any costs incurred by a Servicer in maintaining such insurance
shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of payments by
the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, each Servicer shall
be required to pay the costs of maintaining any insurance contemplated by this
Section 3.11(b) only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property
as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property
prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by
the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged
Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in
section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which
74
case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the applicable Servicer
shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an
extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section
856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by
the applicable extension period. The applicable Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Collection Account, as a Servicing Advance, for any costs
incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal,
state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the related Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary
to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds
of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such
foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on the Mortgage Loan.
(d) The decision of a Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by such Servicer that the proceeds of
such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a
proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to such Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of applicable accrued
and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances,
shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Collection
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar
month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal
of the related Mortgage Loan.
No Servicer shall acquire any Mortgaged Property on behalf of any
REMIC created hereunder in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Foreclosure Restricted Loan, if acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property
underlying the loan would cause the adjusted basis, for federal income tax
purposes, of these Mortgaged Properties owned by the related REMIC after
foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC other than
"qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the
related REMIC. If the adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in
foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC, other
75
than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" with the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code, exceed 1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the
related REMIC immediately after the distribution of principal and interest on
any Distribution Date, the applicable Servicer will dispose of enough of such
Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, for cash or otherwise, so that the adjusted
basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets
owned by the related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than
1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC. Each Servicer
will provide notice to the other Servicer of any Foreclosure Restricted Loan in
order for the Servicers to make the determinations set forth in this clause (d).
(e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as
any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse such Servicer for
any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related Collection Account
for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously
withdrawn by such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) that related to such
Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance
has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate equal to the
related Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate, to the Due Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and
fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess proceeds, if any,
from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the
related Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14.
(f) [reserved].
(g) The Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder, at its
option, may (but is not obligated to) repurchase from the Trust Fund, (a) any
related Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by three or more Scheduled
Payments or (b) any related Mortgage Loan with respect to which there has been
initiated legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related
Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially. If it elects to make any
such repurchase, the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder shall
repurchase such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan. The Majority in Interest Class X-2
Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service any such Mortgage Loan
purchased from the Trust.
SECTION 3.12 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by a
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, such Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee
(or the Custodian, as the case may be) by delivering, or causing to be delivered
a "Request for Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of
such request, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) shall within
three Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer,
and the Trustee shall within three Business Days of such Servicer's direction
execute and deliver to such Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
76
releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by such Servicer,
together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon.
Each Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS(R) System of such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor to the extent
permitted by law and otherwise shall constitute a Servicing Advance. From time
to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood
insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes
of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall,
within three Business Days of delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the
case may be) of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Subject to
the further limitations set forth below, the related Servicer shall cause the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as the case may be) when the need therefor by such Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are
deposited in the related Collection Account, in which case such Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If a Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding
in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, such
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature,
as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
in equity.
SECTION 3.13 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of a Servicer
to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, each Servicer
shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and
instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the
related Servicer from time to time required to be delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to the terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trustee for any
funds received by such Servicer or which otherwise are collected by such
Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in a Collection Account,
shall be held by the related Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer also agrees that it shall
not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited
in the related Collection Account, Certificate Account or any related Escrow
Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security
77
interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by
legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File
or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except,
however, that such Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from
any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to such Servicer
under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14 Servicing Fee.
As compensation for its services hereunder, each Servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from interest
payments on the related Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee for each
Mortgage Loan, less any amounts in respect of its Servicing Fee payable by such
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(vi). The Servicing Fee is limited to, and
payable solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Payments collected
by the related Servicer or as otherwise provided in Section 3.08.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income
shall be retained by the related Servicer. Each Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any
Subservicing Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for in this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.15 Access to Certain Documentation.
Each Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by such Servicer. Nothing
in this Section shall limit the obligation of any Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of such Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require any Servicer to collect, create,
collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its
usual course of business.
SECTION 3.16 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with
respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission, 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in
each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), each Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of such Servicer during the preceding calendar year and
of
78
the performance of such Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based
on such review, such Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by such
Servicer to cure such default.
SECTION 3.17 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with
respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission, 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in
each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), each Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally
recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other
services to such Servicer, the Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage
loans which such Servicer is servicing, which may include the related Mortgage
Loans or similar mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such examination,
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II
Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, nothing has come to their
attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for (a) such exceptions as
such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such other exceptions as shall
be set forth in such statement. In addition, each Servicer shall disclose to
such firm all significant deficiencies relating to such Servicer's compliance
with the minimum servicing standards set forth in this Agreement. In rendering
such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing
of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II
Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs (rendered within one year of
such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related
Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the related Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by such Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
Each Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own
expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers
relating to the related Mortgage Loans ("Servicer Employees"). The amount of
coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
shall be at least equal to the coverage maintained by the related Servicer in
order to be acceptable to
79
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac to service loans for it or otherwise in an amount as
is commercially available at a cost that is generally not regarded as excessive
by industry standards. No provision of this Section 3.18 requiring such Fidelity
Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve a
Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae. Upon the request of
the Trustee, the related Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a
certificate of insurance of the insurer and the surety including a statement
from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy
shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior
written notice to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
The Depositor appoints The Murrayhill Company as Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, and the Trustee, the Credit Risk Manager
will provide reports and recommendations concerning Mortgage Loans that are past
due, as to which there has been commencement of foreclosure, as to which there
has been forbearance in exercise of remedies which are in default, as to which
obligor is the subject of bankruptcy, receivership, or an arrangement of
creditors, or as to which have become REO Properties. Such reports and
recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk
Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement and the Credit Risk
Manager shall look solely to the related Servicer for all information and data
(including loss and delinquency information and data) and loan level information
and data relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. If the Credit Risk
Manager is no longer able to perform its duties hereunder, the Depositor shall
terminate the Credit Risk Manager and cause the appointment of a successor
Credit Risk Manager. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the
appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written
notice thereof to the Seller, the Servicers, the Trustee and each Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager
pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall not become effective until the appointment
of a successor Credit Risk Manager.
SECTION 3.20 Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to
the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Depositor for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by a Servicer under the Credit
Risk Management Agreements or of errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person
against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its performance of its duties
under this Agreement or the Credit Risk Manager Agreements. The Credit Risk
Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Credit Risk Manager
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may
rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by any Servicer
pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements in the performance of its
duties thereunder and hereunder.
80
SECTION 3.21 Advance Facility.
(a) Ocwen and Wilshire are each hereby authorized to enter into a
financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility") under
which (1) Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, assigns or pledges to another Person
(an "Advancing Person") such Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be
reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person
agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be
made by Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement. No consent
of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before Ocwen
or Wilshire, as applicable, may enter into an Advance Facility; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) shall be required before Ocwen or Wilshire, as
applicable, may cause to be outstanding at one time more than one Advance
Facility with respect to Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect
to Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility
under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing
Advances on such Servicer's behalf, Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, shall
remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing
Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be
relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. If Ocwen or
Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person
remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances or Servicing Advances
outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then Ocwen
or Wilshire, as applicable, may elect by providing written notice to the Trustee
not to be permitted to reimburse itself for Advances and/or Servicing Advances,
as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, but following any
such election Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, shall be required to include
amounts collected that would otherwise be retained by Ocwen or Wilshire, as
applicable, to reimburse it for previously unreimbursed Advances ("Advance
Reimbursement Amounts") and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances
("Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts" and together with Advance
Reimbursement Amounts, "Reimbursement Amounts") (in each case to the extent such
type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility) in the
remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent of
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Servicer Remittance
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance
Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in
Interest Remittance Amounts or Principal Remittance Amounts or distributed to
Certificateholders. Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, if making the election set
forth herein, shall report to the Trustee the portions of the Reimbursement
Amounts that consist of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.
(b) If Ocwen or Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility and makes the
election set forth in Section 3.21(a), Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, and the
related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and
payment instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with
written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance Reimbursement Amounts
and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of
Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent
Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable
Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to a trustee
or custodian (an "Advance Facility Trustee") designated in the Advance Facility
Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written
direction of Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, and the related
81
Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the provisions of this Section 3.21 shall cease to be applicable when all
Advances and Servicing Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all
Advances and Servicing Advances (the rights to be reimbursed for which have been
assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person), have been repaid to the related
Advancing Person in full.
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans
for which Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, would be permitted to reimburse
itself in accordance with Section 3.08(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, assuming
Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled
to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future
distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.01.
The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation
of any Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the applicable Servicer's
report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from Ocwen or
Wilshire, as applicable, to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(viii). Ocwen or
Wilshire, as applicable, shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer a
detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged
or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer
shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by Ocwen or Wilshire,
as applicable, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in
such information.
(d) An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the
rights to be reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose
obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a
Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.
(e) With respect to any Advance Facility pursuant to which Ocwen or
Wilshire has made the election set forth in Section 3.21(a), the documentation
establishing any Advance Facility shall require that Reimbursement Amounts
distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to outstanding
unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with
respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis. Such
documentation shall also require Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, to provide to
the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan
information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee
to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date,
to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, to the extent the related
rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been assigned or pledged to an
Advancing Person.
(f) If Ocwen or Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility, Ocwen or
Wilshire, as applicable, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust and any
successor Servicer, as applicable, from and against any claims, losses,
liabilities or damages resulting from any claim by the related
82
Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or
damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct on the part of the successor Servicer or the Trustee, or failure by
the successor Servicer or the Trustee to remit funds as required by Section
3.21(b). Any amendment to this Section 3.21 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 3.21, including amendments to
add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the
Trustee, the Seller and Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, without the consent of
any Certificateholder notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01
of or elsewhere in this Agreement.
83
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE SERVICERS
SECTION 4.01 Advances by the Servicers.
Each Servicer shall deposit in a Collection Account an amount equal to
all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing
Fee Rate) which were due but not received on the related Mortgage Loans during
the applicable Due Period; provided however, that with respect to any Balloon
Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be
required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue
to make Advances in accordance with this Section 4.01 with respect to such
Balloon Loan in an amount equal to an assumed scheduled payment that would
otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage
Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate). Each
Servicer's obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will
continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of
such Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has,
in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated; provided however,
that such obligation with respect to any related Mortgage Loan shall cease if
such Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect
to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances; provided that the related
Servicer will be required to make Advances until the earlier of (i) the time at
which the related Mortgage Loan becomes 120 days delinquent or (ii) the time at
which the related Servicer determines that such Advances with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that such Servicer
determines that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, such Servicer
shall provide the Trustee with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer
evidencing such determination.
If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the related Servicer

SECTION 4.08 Reserve Fund.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in
its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-2, Class M-1,
Class M-2 and Class B Certificates, the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund shall be
an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including
without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On the Closing Date, $5,000 will be deposited by the Depositor
into the Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer
from the Certificate Account to the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section
4.02(b)(iv)(I)., the Required Reserve Fund Deposit. Amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Fund may be withdrawn by the Trustee in connection with any Distribution
Date to fund the amounts required to be distributed to holders of the Class A-2,
Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(b)(iv)
E. through H. to the extent Monthly Excess Cashflow on such date is insufficient
to make such payments. Any such distributions shall be treated for federal tax
purposes as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to the Class X-1 Certificateholders.
On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess
of the Required Reserve Fund Amount shall be distributed to the Class X-1
Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iv)J.
(c) Amounts distributed pursuant to clauses F through I of Section
4.02(b)(iv) for such Distribution Date shall be treated for federal income tax
purposes as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to the Class X-1 Certificateholders.
(d) Funds in the Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments
by the Trustee at the direction of the Majority in Interest Holder of the Class
X-1 Certificate. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to
the Holder of the Class X-1 Certificate. Amounts held in the Reserve Fund from
time to time shall continue to constitute assets of the Trust Fund, but not of
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3, until released from the Reserve Fund pursuant to
this Section 4.08. The Reserve Fund constitutes an "outside reserve fund" within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of REMIC
1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts
distributed by REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the Class X-1 Certificateholders.
The Class X-1 Certificate shall evidence ownership of the Reserve Fund for
federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing
as to the investment of amounts therein. In the absence of such written
direction, all funds in the Reserve Fund shall be invested by the Trustee in the
JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses
on investments in Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.08(d)
(other than as obligor on any such investments). Upon termination of the Trust
Fund, any amounts remaining in the Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the
Holder of the Class X-1 Certificate in the same manner as if distributed
pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iv)J. hereof.
(e) On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date
on which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class A-2, Class M-1,
Class M-2 and Class B Certificates equals zero, any amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Fund not payable on the Class A-2,
92
Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates shall be distributed to the Holder
of the Class X-1 Certificate in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to
Section 4.02(b)(iv)J. hereof.
SECTION 4.09 Prepayment Penalties.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer may not
waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable
default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing similar
mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment
of the related Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)(A)
the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or
(2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by
applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the related Servicer may waive a
Prepayment Penalty in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. If the related Servicer has waived all or a portion of
a Prepayment Penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment, other than as provided
above, the related Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date, for deposit into
the Certificate Account the amount of such Prepayment Penalty (or such portion
thereof as had been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; provided, however, the related Servicer shall not have any
obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Penalty under this
Section 4.09 if such Servicer did not have a copy of the related Mortgage Note,
such Servicer requested via email a copy of the same from the Trustee and the
Trustee failed to provide such a copy within two (2) Business Days of receipt of
such request. If the related Servicer has waived all or a portion of a
Prepayment Penalty for any reason, it shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof
and shall include such information in any monthly reports it provides the
Trustee.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has
so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100%
of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates
of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000
or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer upon the written order of the
Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the written direction
of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under Article
V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
Certificate, or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the
certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article V applicable
with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in
the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall have no liability for transfers,
including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or
between or among Depository Participants or beneficial owners of the
Certificates made in violation of applicable restrictions.

SECTION 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below
and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with
the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except
in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any
affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate") and
(i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either (A) Exhibit K (the
"Investment Letter") provided that all of the Class X Certificates of a Class
shall be transferred to one investor or the Depositor otherwise consents to such
transfer, or (B) Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be
delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel
that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act.
The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any
prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the
related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall
be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof
under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided
95
by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Servicers shall cooperate with the Depositor
in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence,
including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as
the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the
preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Seller and the Servicers 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 an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee
of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate or a Residual
Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K
or Exhibit L, as applicable), to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such
plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to
effect such transfer or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code
(or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any
such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter
referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation
shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including
an initial acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void
and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA- Restricted Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have
96
agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered
on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to
the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph
(b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a
"Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in
connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other
Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and
either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and
after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall
be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted
Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
who is not a Permitted Transferee.
97
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or
the Servicers, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to
any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
98
Depository through the Depository Participants 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 Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners,
through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by
the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue
the Definitive Certificates. None of the Sellers, the Servicers, the Depositor
or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory
of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicers, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicers or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided
in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Servicers, the Trustee or any agent of the Servicers or the Trustee shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or a
99
Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the
Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the Depositor, the Servicers or such Certificateholders at such
recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust
Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York, New York where Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee
initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee
will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such
location of any such office or agency.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICERS
SECTION 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Sellers and
the Servicers.
The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller or a
Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer will each keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof or as a
federally chartered savings bank organized under the laws of the United States
and will each 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, or any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or a Servicer may be merged or
consolidated into another Person in accordance with the following paragraph.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer, shall be
the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or a 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 with
respect to a merger or consolidation of a Servicer shall be an institution which
is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved company in good standing. In addition to
the foregoing, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from each of the
Rating Agencies, to the effect that such merger, conversion or consolidation of
a Servicer will not result in a disqualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the
then current rating of any of the Certificates.
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicers and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or any
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any such
Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or
protect the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard
101
of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, each Servicer
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or a
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, each Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, or the related
Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor,
the Seller or any Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute
or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties
hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or any Servicer may in
its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of the Collection Account. Each Servicer's right to indemnity or
reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive the resignation or
termination of such Servicer as set forth herein.
SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer.
(a) Subject to Section 6.04(b) below, a Servicer shall not resign from
the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a)(i) upon appointment,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02, of a successor servicer which (x)
has a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and (y) is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac approved company in good standing and (ii) receipt by the Trustee of a
letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not
result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then current rating
of any of the Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under
clause (b) permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed such Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder and the requirements of Section 7.02 have been satisfied.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, so long as it is the
owner of the servicing rights, or any subsequent owner of such servicing rights
so long as it is the owner of such servicing rights, shall be entitled to
require that either or both of Wilshire and Ocwen resign and appoint a successor
servicer with respect to the Wilshire Serviced Loans or Ocwen Serviced Loans, as
applicable; provided that such entity delivers to the Trustee the letter
required by Section 6.04(a)(ii) above; and provided further that if Ocwen
resigns as Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.04(b), Ocwen shall receive $25 as
a deboarding fee for any Mortgage Loan for which Ocwen was the Servicer for less
than one year.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01 Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by a Servicer to make any deposit or payment required
pursuant to this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one
Business Day (or, in the case of any such failure to make any deposit or
payment due to any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by
the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or
crisis or act of god, for a period of three Business Days) after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Trustee or the
Depositor, or to such Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by a Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
such Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure or breach (a)
materially affects the rights of the Certificateholders and (b) continues
unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure or breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to such Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to such
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less
than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(iii) if a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b) or
(c), as applicable, hereof shall prove to be materially incorrect as of the
time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects interests of
the Certificateholders, and the circumstances or condition in respect of
which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been
eliminated or cured, within 30 days (or, if such breach is not capable of
being cured within 30 days and provided that the related Servicer believes
in good faith that such breach can be cured and is diligently pursuing the
cure thereof, within 90 days) after the date on which written notice
thereof shall have been given to the related Servicer by the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders or by the Depositor; or
(iv) failure by a Servicer to maintain, if required, its license to do
business in any jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is
located; or
(v) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged
or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
103
(vi) a 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 such
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vii) any failure of a Servicer to make any Advance, to the extent
required under Section 4.01 in the manner and at the time required to be
made from its own funds pursuant to this Agreement and after receipt of
notice from the Trustee, which failure continues unremedied after the close
of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related
Distribution Date; or
(viii) a Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or
commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its
normal business operations for three Business Days.
Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of a Servicer
to make any Advance, if an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and
every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the
Trustee shall by notice in writing to such Servicer (with a copy to each Rating
Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder and its rights to
reimbursement for Advances or other advances previously made pursuant to this
Agreement. If an Event of Default results from the failure of a Servicer to make
an Advance, the Trustee shall prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the
succeeding calendar month, by notice in writing to such Servicer and the
Depositor (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement prior to the Distribution Date
occurring in the succeeding calendar month and in and to the related Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder.
Upon receipt by a Servicer of such written notice of termination, all
authority and power of such Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Trustee or its nominee. Upon written request from the Trustee, such Servicer
shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the
Trustee any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's
possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, at such
Servicer's sole expense. Each Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such
successor in effecting the termination of such Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor
for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
by such Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter
received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall thereupon
make any Advance. The Trustee
104
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such
Servicer, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise.
SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement or the resignation of such Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent
provided herein, be the successor to such Servicer, but only in its capacity as
servicer under this Agreement, and not in any other, and the transactions set
forth herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all
funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans that such Servicer would have been
entitled to charge to the Collection Account, provided that the terminated
Servicer shall nonetheless be entitled to payment or reimbursement as provided
in Section 3.08 to the extent that such payment or reimbursement relates to the
period prior to termination of such Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Trustee has become the successor to a Servicer in accordance with Section
7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is
prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to 4.01 hereof, or if
it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the
appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to such Servicer hereunder
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of such Servicer hereunder. Any successor to a Servicer shall be an
institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer for
first and second loans in good standing, which has a net worth of at least
$10,000,000, which is willing to service the related Mortgage Loans and which
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting
such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such
Servicer (other than liabilities of such Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof
incurred prior to termination of such Servicer under Section 7.01 hereunder),
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided
that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in
effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be
qualified, withdrawn or downgraded as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to such Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject
to the limitations described herein, act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in
performing, any duties
105
or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of such
Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
In connection with the termination or resignation of any Servicer
hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee if the
Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is
a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute
and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The
predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this subsection.
Any successor to a Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of
such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer,
maintain in force the policy or policies that such Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to a
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
106
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01 Duties of the Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless an Event of Default actually known to the Trustee shall
have occurred and be continuing, 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 the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting
any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this
Agreement.

SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively 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 believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the
Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the
genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or

Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,

bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
allocated to each Class of Certificates;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
affiliates, accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment
security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event
of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the
108
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
SECTION 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the
MERS(R) System, other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
countersignature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Depositor or a Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or a Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or a Servicer.
SECTION 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the Depositor,
the Seller, any Servicer and their affiliates, with the same rights as it would
have if it were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution Date
prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 an amount equal to the
Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor and the
Servicers, to the extent such indemnity related to the failure of the related
Servicer to perform its servicing obligations in accordance with this Agreement,
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal
action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Custodial Agreement, (c) the
Certificates, or (d) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder,
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax
or information return prepared by the related Servicer. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants and
agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the
Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise
from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of
the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage
109
such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and
engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to
payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar or agent for
the Tax Matters Person hereunder or for any other expenses.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and Custodian.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and
its affiliates or a Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such
entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or a Servicer other
than the Trustee in its role as successor to a Servicer.
SECTION 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Seller, each Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the
date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation
is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with
Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no
successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or removed Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to each Servicer and the
Seller and one copy to the successor trustee.
110
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to each Servicer and the Seller, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the successor trustee. All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee
in connection with the removal of the Trustee without cause shall be reimbursed
to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and each Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, each Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall not
adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
111
SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, each Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as each
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If a Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section
8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
to a Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment
shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee
or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to
any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of
112
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer
to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee
and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee and a copy thereof given to each Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC
elections are to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to each such segregated
pool of assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the Trust Fund
Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees
that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent)
for the Tax Matters Person and on behalf of the Trust Fund and that in such
capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a
timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
returns for each taxable year with respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC
3 containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and
furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b)
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that the assets of each of REMIC 1, REMIC
2 and REMIC 3 be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first
taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and
forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to
the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e)
provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer
of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an
agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted
Transferee, or a pass-through
113
entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its
control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3; (h) pay, from
the sources specified in the fourth paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount
of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on the Trust Fund prior to its termination when and as the same
shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or
any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure
that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records
relating to the Trust Fund, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of
the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may
be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or
audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment
as to any taxable year of the Trust Fund, enter into settlement agreements with
any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to
any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust Fund in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
To the extent that they are under its control, each Servicer shall
conduct matters relating to the assets of each REMIC at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. No Servicer shall knowingly
or intentionally take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC
status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income
from foreclosure property" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day pursuant
to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as
114
otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any
such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of
its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the related Servicer or the Seller,
in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by such Servicer or the Seller of any of their obligations under this
Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the
Seller's obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the
related Servicer or Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to
be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02.
The Trustee shall treat the Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class
X-1 Certificateholder and that is not an asset of the REMICs. The Trustee shall
treat the rights of the Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B
Certificateholders to receive payments from the Reserve Fund as rights in an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X-1 Certificateholder in favor
of the Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificateholders. Thus,
each Certificate other than the Class X-1 Certificates shall be treated as
representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership
of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the
issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the
interest rate cap contract has a value of $5,000.
Neither a Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by
which any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to
receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 8.12 Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trustee and each Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Depositor any
Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the
Depositor shall sign and the Trustee shall file (via XXXXX) such Forms on behalf
of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such
power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee
from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee 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 31st of the
calendar year following the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs
(or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission), the Trustee 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, each Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.16
115
and the accountant's report described under Section 3.17, in each case to the
extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to any failure to properly or timely prepare or
file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee'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 W (the "Depositor Certification"), which shall be
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this Section 8.12.
(c) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the
Trustee shall sign a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X (the
"Trustee Certification") for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers,
directors and affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the
Depositor Certification. In addition, the Trustee shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Depositor within the
meaning of the Securities Act 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 Trustee's obligations under this
Section 8.12 or any inaccuracy made in the Trustee Certification. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8.12(c) is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Trustee shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on
the other. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the
Trustee's performance of its obligations under this Section 8.12 in order to
perform its obligations under Section 8.12(b) above.
(d) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), each
Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
for the prior calendar year in substantially the form of Exhibit Y to this
Agreement. Each Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Trustee and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Depositor or the Trustee
within the meaning of the Securities Act and their respective officers,
directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs, reasonable
and necessary fees and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of
third party claims based on (i) the failure of such Servicer to deliver or
caused to be delivered when required any Officer's Certificate pursuant to this
Section 8.12(d), or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any
Officer's Certificate provided pursuant to this Section 8.12(d). If an event
occurs that would otherwise result in an indemnification obligation under
clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the indemnification provided for in this Section
8.12(d) by such Servicer is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such
Persons, then such Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such
Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the

TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the rights, obligations and responsibilities
of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers and the Trustee created hereunder
with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the
purchase by the Optional Termination Holder of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) remaining at the price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the Aggregate
Collateral Balance plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the applicable
Mortgage Rate, (B) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as
determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent
appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the
Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in
each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage
Rate and (C) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and (b) the later of (i) the
maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO
Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the
trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. The
right to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a)
above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the REO Properties at the time of any
such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Aggregate Collateral
Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
SECTION 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account, the Trustee
shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If
the Optional Termination Holder above elects to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be
mailed to the affected Certificateholders such Person shall notify the Servicers
and the Trustee of the date the Depositor intends to terminate the Trust Fund
and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th
day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of
such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount
of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which
such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable
118
to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified.
The Trustee shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice
is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on
the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in the
case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal
to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof
plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in
the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual
Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Collection
Accounts (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application
pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class A-R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of
the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto and the Trustee shall be discharged
from all further liability with respect to the Certificates and this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Optional Termination Holder exercises its
purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01,
at such time as the Mortgage Loans are so purchased, the Trust Fund shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the
Depositor, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of
this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set
forth in the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.02,
the Depositor shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Depositor, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Tax Matters Person or
the Trust Fund), meets the requirements of a qualified
liquidation;
119
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the
assets of the Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in
accordance with Section 9.01; and
On the date specified for final payment of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall, after payment of any
unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees or
other fee compensation payable to each Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement, make final distributions of principal and
interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.02
and distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all
cash on hand after such final payment (other than the cash
retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and any REMIC)
shall terminate at that time.
(b) The Trustee as agent for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 hereby
agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written
request of the Depositor, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as
may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby authorize the Depositor to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a
plan of complete liquidation.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, each
Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, the Seller or any Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter,
amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of
the party proposing such amendment), adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such Opinion
of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a
letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in
the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the
Servicers also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement
without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any
of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i)
maintain the qualification of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the
Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final
redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of
the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in
any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicers, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all such Certificates then outstanding.
121
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of the party preparing
such amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition
of any federal tax on the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or cause REMIC 1,
REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such
amendment to each Certificateholder if the consent of Certificateholders was
required and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii)
either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are
situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at its expense, but only upon
direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it

request and offer of
124
indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein
collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the
25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement. [The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.][The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date; provided that
if this Certificate is not a Book-Entry Certificate, then the Record Date
applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next
preceding such Distribution Date.]
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder

on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
F-1
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicers, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite
Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer

by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicers, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent of
the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and the Seller, the
Depositor, the Trustee, or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the sum of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the REO Properties at
the time of repurchase is less than 10% of the sum of the Aggregate Collateral
Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Optional Termination Holder will have the
option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.
In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and
responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the
maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from

Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
