In exchange for the Certificates, the Depositor hereby conveys the

than the Class 1-A-R Certificate) are referred to collectively as the "Regular
Certificates" and shall constitute "regular interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests shall constitute the "regular
interests" in the Middle-Tier REMIC. The Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests
shall constitute the "regular interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R-U
Interest shall be the sole "residual interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class R-M Interest shall be the sole "residual interest" in the Middle-Tier
REMIC. The Class X-X Interest shall be the sole "residual interest" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class 1-A-R Certificate shall represent ownership of the
Class R-U Interest, the Class R-M Interest and the Class X-X Interest. The
Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust. The "latest possible maturity
date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby will be
the REMIC Certificate Maturity Date.

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right,
title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all
interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on
or before the Cut-off Date). The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and set
over does not and is not intended to result in a creation of an assumption by
the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection
with the Mortgage Loans or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except
as specifically set forth herein. In addition, the Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, without recourse, the Depositor's rights to receive any
BPP Mortgage Loan Payment. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto
that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is
a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in any of (i) the New Jersey Home Ownership
Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act,
effective January 1, 2004, (iii) the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices
Act, effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act,

(b) In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the following
documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in the following form: "Pay to the order of U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee for the holders of the Banc of America Mortgage
Securities, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [____],
without recourse," or to blank with all necessary intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Trustee
(each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in
and to that Mortgage Note);
(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage (or
the Electronic Recording thereof) with evidence of a recording thereon, or
if any such Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable recording
office or has been lost, or if such public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage certified by the
Depositor as being a true and correct copy of the Mortgage;
(iii) subject to the provisos at the end of this paragraph, a duly
executed Assignment of Mortgage to "U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee for the holders of
-33-
the Banc of America Mortgage Securities, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series [____]" (which may be included in a blanket
assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided below,
originals of all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (or the
Electronic Recording thereof) or a copy of such interim assignment
certified by the Depositor as being a true and complete copy of the
original recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage (each such
assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided
that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may exclude the
information to be provided by the recording office; and provided, further,
if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage
Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its designee, no
Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to be
prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer shall take all actions as
are necessary to cause the Trust to be shown as the owner of the related
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by
MERS;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, if any;
(v) any of (A) the original or duplicate original mortgagee title
insurance policy and all riders thereto, (B) a title search showing no
lien (other than standard exceptions of the type described in Section 2.04
(viii)) on the Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the Mortgage or
(C) an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in the
applicable jurisdiction in lieu of a title insurance policy;
(vi) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(vii) for each Mortgage Loan, if any, which is secured by a
residential long-term lease, a copy of the lease with evidence of
recording indicated thereon, or, if the lease is in the process of being
recorded, a photocopy of the lease, certified by an officer of the
respective prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the applicable title
insurance company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or company or closing
attorney to be a true and correct copy of the lease transmitted for
recordation;
(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage; and
(ix) for each Mortgage Loan secured by Co-op Shares, the originals
of the following documents or instruments:
(A) The stock certificate;
(B) The stock power executed in blank;
(C) The executed proprietary lease;
-34-
(D) The executed recognition agreement;
(E) The executed assignment of recognition agreement, if any;
(F) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of
recording thereon; and
(G) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate
UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a
complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with
evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for
recordation).
provided, however, that on the Closing Date, with respect to item (iii), the
Depositor has delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, a copy of such Assignment of Mortgage in blank and has caused the
Servicer to retain the completed Assignment of Mortgage for recording as
described below, unless such Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or
its designee. In addition, if the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause the
delivery of any original Mortgage Note due to the loss of such original Mortgage
Note, the Depositor may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a
lost note affidavit, and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document
delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b).
If in connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot
deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim recorded assignments, (C) all
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, or (D)
the lender's title policy, if any, (together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements of clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, respectively,
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 (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, or because the title policy, if
any, has not been delivered to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the
applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such
Mortgage, such interim assignment or such assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of any such documents or
instruments be made later than one year following the Closing Date, unless, in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, there has been a continuing delay
at the applicable recording office or, in the case of clause (v), there has been
a continuing delay at the applicable insurer and the Depositor has delivered the
Officer's Certificate to such effect to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
Trustee or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf (1) from time to time
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a
Mortgage Loan and (2) any other documents required to be delivered by the
Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee or the Custodian on the Trustee's
behalf. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in
connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan the public
recording office requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and
indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can
be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer
shall prepare,
-35-
execute and deliver or cause to be prepared, executed and delivered, on behalf
of the Trust, such a document to the public recording office.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within 30 days thereafter, the Servicer shall
(except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) (I) cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within 30
days of the Closing Date and (II) at the Depositor's expense, 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 Servicer has not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form,
the Servicer'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 30 days after the receipt thereof and, no recording of an
Assignment of Mortgage will be required in a state if either (i) the Depositor
furnishes to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an unqualified Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
to the effect that recordation of such assignment is not necessary under
applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage
Loan against the claim of any subsequent transferee of such Mortgage Loan or any
successor to, or creditor of, the Depositor or the originator of such Mortgage
Loan or (ii) the recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage in such state is not
required by any Rating Agency in order to obtain the initial ratings on the
Certificates on the Closing Date. Set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto is a
list of all states where recordation is required by any Rating Agency to obtain
the initial ratings of the Certificates. The Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Custodian may rely and shall be protected in relying upon
the information contained in such Exhibit L.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, will cause the Servicer
to deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is
required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.08.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Trustee declares that
it, or the Custodian as its agent, will hold the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust
Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. Upon execution and delivery of this document, the Trustee
shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit
M hereto (the "Initial Certification") to the effect that, except as may be
specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the original
Mortgage Note relating to each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule.
Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to review, the Mortgage Files in its
possession, and shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer a certification in the
form of Exhibit N hereto (the "Final Certification") to the effect that, as to
-36-
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be
specified in a list of exceptions attached to such Final Certification, such
Mortgage File contains all of the items required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(b).
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 or is omitted from such Mortgage File, the Securities Administrator
shall promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor, or shall cause the
Custodian to promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor. In performing
any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported
genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood
that the scope of the Custodian's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely
to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.01 have been received and
further confirming that any and all documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01
appear on their face to have been executed and relate to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based solely upon the review of items
(i) and (xi) in the definition of Mortgage Loan Schedule. Neither the Trustee
nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether any
document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement
is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been recorded in
accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a
blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor
hereby covenants and agrees that it will promptly correct or cure such defect
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the
Depositor does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Depositor
will either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth below or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee
at the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall such a substitution occur more than two years from the Closing Date;
provided, further, that such substitution or repurchase shall occur within 90
days of when such defect was discovered if such defect will cause the Mortgage
Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)
of the Code.
With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan the Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
Assignment of Mortgage (except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the
name of MERS or its designee), and such other documents and agreements as are
otherwise required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the
Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to
be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
Monthly Payments due with respect to any such Substitute Mortgage Loan in the
month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained
by the Depositor. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due for such month on any
Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor has substituted a Substitute
Mortgage Loan.
The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit
of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each Mortgage Loan that has
become a Defective Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian. Upon such
substitution, each Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to
-37-
the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Depositor shall be deemed
to have made to the Trustee with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of
the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 2.04. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Servicer
Custodial Account of any required Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described
in the next paragraph) and receipt of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall
release, or shall direct the Custodian to release, the Mortgage File relating to
such Defective Mortgage Loan to the Depositor and shall execute and deliver at
the Depositor's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Depositor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
title in the Depositor, or its designee, to the Trustee's interest in any
Defective Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.02.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute
Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Defective Mortgage Loans in such
Loan Group (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments
due in the month of substitution) (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount" for such
Loan Group) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
and unreimbursed Capitalized Advance Amounts with respect to such Defective
Mortgage Loans shall be deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account by the
Depositor on or before the Remittance Date for the Distribution Date in the
month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan is
required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, upon the execution or,
in the case of documents requiring recording, receipt thereof, the originals of
such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into
the Servicer's possession from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to
substitute for or to purchase 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 and any Certificateholder against the Depositor.
Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall be under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix). In connection with making the
certifications required hereunder, to the extent a title search or opinion of
counsel has been provided in lieu of a title policy for any Mortgage Loan, the
Custodian shall only be responsible for confirming that a title search or
opinion of counsel has been provided for such Mortgage Loan and shall not be
deemed to have certified that the content of such title search or opinion of
counsel is sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 2.01(b)(v).
-38-
Section 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The
Servicer hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Servicer is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the federal laws of the
United States of America and has all licenses necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good
standing in each of the states where a Mortgaged Property is located if
the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to
conduct business of the type conducted by the Servicer. The Servicer has
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform
in accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant
to this Agreement) by the Servicer and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized.
This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties hereto, evidences the valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of the Servicer, subject to applicable law except as
enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or creditors of national
banks and (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought
in a proceeding in equity or at law. All requisite corporate action has
been taken by the Servicer to make this Agreement valid and binding upon
the Servicer in accordance with its terms.
(ii) No consent, approval, authorization or order is required for
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any court,
governmental agency or body, or federal or state regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Servicer is required or, if required, such
consent, approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the
Closing Date, be obtained.
(iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will
not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter or
by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or provision
of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the
acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or
credit agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer or its property
is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or its property is
subject.
(iv) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer
which, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any
material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the
right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as
now conducted or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the obligations of the Servicer
-39-
contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the
Servicer to perform under the terms of this Agreement.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee, or
to the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations or warranties set forth in this Section 2.03, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
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 or each Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as
of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing
Date:
(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true
and correct in all material respects.
(ii) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments
payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the
lien priority of the related Mortgaged Property.
(iii) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf;
the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been
approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the
title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver,
alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if
any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which
assumption agreement has been delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian
on the Trustee's behalf.
(iv) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
(v) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards
as are customary in the area the Mortgaged
-40-
Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of Customary Servicing Procedures and this Agreement. All
such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee
and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in
an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map
issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's
cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the
holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and
expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(vi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protections, all applicable
predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loan have
been complied with.
(vii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in
full which may have been received prior to the Closing Date), and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in
whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect
any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.
(viii) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public
record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property, (C) if the Mortgaged Property consists of Co-op Shares, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative
housing corporation, and (D) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a
valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein and the Depositor has the full
right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with
-41-
its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (B)
general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(x) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(xi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee
pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(xii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all parties which
have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all
applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xiii) (A) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy, acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a
title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (viii)(A) and (B) above)
the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, (B) a
title search has been done showing no lien (other than the exceptions
contained in (viii)(A) and (B) above) on the related Mortgaged Property
senior to the lien of the Mortgage or (C) in the case of any Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such
policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type
customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is
instead received. For each Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance
policy (x) the Depositor is the sole insured of such lender's title
insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full
force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) no
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and the
Depositor has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy.
(xiv) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
-42-
breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived
any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(xv) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, there had
been no mechanics' or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(xvi) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and
no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(xvii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act.
(xviii) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgaged Loan were disbursed.
The Mortgage Loans are 25 to 30-year adjustable rate mortgage loans having
an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest
payable in arrears on the first day of the month. Each Mortgage Note
requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not
permit negative amortization.
(xix) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is
undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended.
(xx) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (A) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. To the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection
under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption
or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
-43-
(xxi) Other than any Borrowers Protection Plan(R) addendum to the
Mortgage Note of a BPP Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are
on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
(xxii) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (viii) above.
(xxiii) Each appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property is in a
form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and such appraisal complies
with the requirements of FIRREA, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser.
(xxiv) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are
or will become payable by the Trust to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan, no
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature, and no more than [___], [___] and [____] (by Cut-off Date
Principal Balance) of the Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 Mortgage Loans,
respectively, are Buy-Down Mortgage Loans.
(xxvi) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required
by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same
type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by applicable
law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinance Mortgage Loan.
(xxvii) Each Primary Insurance Policy to which any Mortgage Loan is
subject, will be issued by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the
portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by
Xxxxxx Mae. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and
are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all
premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such
Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith
at least until Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to
less than 80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not
include any such insurance premium.
(xxviii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, (A) the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law, (B) all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy, have
-44-
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and (C) no
improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation
of any zoning law or regulation.
(xxix) The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any
Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xxx) All payments required to be made prior to the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and
no Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent more than once in
the twelve month period immediately prior to the Cut-off Date.
(xxxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor or Servicer
is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents
which have been delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the
Trustee's behalf, or which have been submitted for recording and not yet
returned.
(xxxii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
contemplated herein, the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of the
Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the
Depositor and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and the
Depositor had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien,
equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with
any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans.
(xxxiii) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan.
(xxxiv) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
applicable Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination
with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner.
(xxxv) No Mortgage Loans are secured by long-term residential
leases.
(xxxvi) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with
a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, or an individual
unit in a planned unit development, or, in the case of Mortgage Loans
secured by Co-op Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided,
however, that any condominium project or planned unit development
generally conforms
-45-
with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings, and
no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling.
(xxxvii) The Depositor used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting the Mortgage Loan for inclusion in the Trust Estate.
(xxxviii) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(xxxix) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit
has been delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's
behalf, in place of the related Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage Note
is no longer in existence.
(xl) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" loan as defined under any
federal, state or local law applicable to such Mortgage Loan at the time
of its origination.
(xli) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable (as such terms are defined in the then-current S&P's LEVELS(R)
Glossary which is now Version 6.1, Appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed
by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
(xlii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the provisions of the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are
made by the Depositor as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged
Property; the absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on any Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence
or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from
any Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, Person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Depositor
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Depositor with respect to the absence or effect of
fraud in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and shall inure
to the benefit of the Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement or assignment.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian that any of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 is not accurate (referred to herein as
a "breach") and that such breach of this Section 2.04 materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties (any Custodian being so obligated under a custodial agreement); provided
that any such breach that causes the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning
-46-
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be deemed to materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Certificateholders. Within 90 days of its discovery
or its receipt of notice of any such breach, the Depositor shall cure such
breach in all material respects or shall either (i) repurchase the Mortgage Loan
or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at a price equal to
the Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years of the Closing Date, substitute
for such Mortgage Loan in the manner described in Section 2.02; provided that if
the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage"
as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such repurchase or
substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered.
In addition to the foregoing, if a breach of the representation set forth in
clause (vi) or (xli) of this Section 2.04 occurs as a result of a violation of
an applicable predatory or abusive lending law, the Depositor shall reimburse
the Trust for all costs or damages incurred by the Trust as a result of the
violation of such law (such amount, the "Reimbursement Amount"). The Repurchase
Price of any repurchase described in this paragraph, the Substitution Adjustment
Amount, if any, and any Reimbursement Amount shall be deposited in the Servicer
Custodial Account. It is understood and agreed that, except with respect to the
second preceding sentence, the obligation of the Depositor to repurchase or
substitute for any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach available to Certificateholders, or to the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders, and such obligation shall survive until termination of the
Trust hereunder.
Section 2.05 Designation of Interests in the REMICs. The Depositor
hereby designates the Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class 1-A-R
Certificate) and the Classes of Subordinate Certificates as "regular interests"
and the Class R-U Interest as the single class of "residual interest" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC for the purposes of Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2),
respectively. The Depositor hereby further designates (i) the Uncertificated
Middle-Tier Interests as classes of "regular interests" and the Class R-M
Interest as the single class of "residual interest" in the Middle-Tier REMIC and
(ii) the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as classes of "regular interests"
and the Class X-X Interest as the single class of "residual interest" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC for the purposes of Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2),
respectively.
Section 2.06 Designation of Start-up Day. The Closing Date is hereby
designated as the "start-up day" of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier
REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
Section 2.07 REMIC Certificate Maturity Date. Solely for purposes of
satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest
possible maturity date" of the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC,
Middle-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC is [_____].
Section 2.08 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. (a) The Trustee
(i) in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the
definition of "Trust Estate," receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
acknowledges the issuance of and hereby declares that the Securities
Administrator holds on its behalf the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests on
behalf of the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Certificateholders, (ii) in exchange for
the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, acknowledges the issuance of and hereby
declares that the Securities
-47-
Administrator holds on its behalf the Uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests on
behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Certificateholders, and (iii) in exchange
for the Uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests, has caused the Securities
Administrator to execute and deliver to or upon the order of the Depositor,
Certificates in authorized Denominations.
Section 2.09 Establishment of the Trust. The Depositor does hereby
establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and the laws of
the State of New York, a common law trust to be known, for convenience, as "Banc
of America Mortgage [____] Trust" and does hereby appoint U.S. Bank National
Association as Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary
Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, 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, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it
services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan
it services. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust
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 and
shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of
any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any
Subservicer, as the case may be, 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 or agreements of
satisfaction, cancellation, default, assumption, modification, discharge,
partial or full release, and all other comparable instruments and agreements,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related
Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the
extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the 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 the Servicer
to
-48-
service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer,
shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.
Alternatively, upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any additional powers of attorney and other documents
prepared by the Servicer that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any action
of the Servicer pursuant to any such power of attorney or other document and
shall be indemnified by the Servicer for any claim, cost, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Servicer's use or misuse of such
powers of attorney and other documents.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances
shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
The costs incurred by the 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.
The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the
Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer. (a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan
it services by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loan in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans it services in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue
of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering those Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed
pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as agent of
the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the
Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services that are received by a Subservicer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
-49-
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer engaged by the
Servicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that the
non-performance of any such obligation would have a material and adverse effect
on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall
provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has
assumed the duties of the Servicer, or any successor Servicer, at the Trustee's
or successor Servicer's option, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the
assuming or terminating party or the Trust Estate, upon the assumption by such
party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Servicer
engages any affiliate or third party vendor, including any Subservicer, in
connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the
Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such engagement.
To the extent the Depositor notifies the Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee that it has determined that any such affiliate, third party
vendor or Subservicer is a Servicing Function Participant, the Servicer shall
cause such Servicing Function Participant to prepare a separate assessment and
attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.19 of this Agreement and
deliver such report to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22
of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent the Depositor notifies the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee that it has determined
that any such Servicing Function Participant would be a "servicer" within the
meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item
1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB (an "Additional Servicer"), the
Servicer shall cause such Additional Servicer to prepare a separate compliance
statement as contemplated by Section 3.18 of this Agreement and deliver such
statement to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22 of this
Agreement. In addition, if the Depositor determines any such Servicing Function
Participant would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation
AB, the Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator the information required by Section
1108(b) and 1108(c) of Regulation AB within two Business Days following such
engagement. To the extent the Servicer terminates any such Servicing Function
Participant that the Depositor has determined is a "servicer" within the meaning
of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator the information required to enable the Securities
Administrator to accurately and timely report such event under Item 6.02 of Form
8-K (if the Trust's Exchange Act reporting requirements have not been suspended
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as set forth in 3.22(g)).
-50-
Section 3.03 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. The
Servicer shall maintain, 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 Mortgage Loans it
services. These policies must insure the Servicer against losses resulting from
dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicer's personnel, any
employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the
Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. Such fidelity
bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection
with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.03 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance
shall diminish or relieve the 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
Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx
Xxxxxxx' & Servicers' Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an
amount as may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac.
Section 3.04 Access to Certain Documentation. The Servicer shall
provide to the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities
supervising Holders of Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of
the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the
documentation required by applicable regulations of the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC
and such other authorities with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall
be afforded upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices designated by the Servicer; provided that the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual
expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access. Nothing
in this Section 3.04 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section 3.04 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05 Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policy; Claims;
Collections of BPP Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) With respect to each Mortgage
Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% or such other Loan-to-Value
Ratio as may be required by law that was originated with a Primary Insurance
Policy, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Trust Estate, maintain or
cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Primary Insurance
Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of a percentage in
conformity with Xxxxxx Mae requirements. The Servicer shall pay or shall cause
the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the
Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or such other
Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be required by law. If such Primary Insurance Policy
is terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another insurer a comparable
replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of
such terminated Primary Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be an
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Servicer shall notify the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee in writing, it being understood that
the Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any failure to
recover under the Primary Insurance Policy for such reason. If the Servicer
determines that recoveries under the Primary Insurance Policy are jeopardized by
the financial condition of the insurer, the Servicer shall obtain from another
insurer which meets the requirements of this Section 3.05 a replacement
insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action that would
-51-
result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss
that, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder.
In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to
be entered into pursuant to Section 3.13, the Servicer shall promptly notify the
insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption
or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such Primary
Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such
insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary
Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of
such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a
replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy
and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage
Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.09(a), any amounts collected by the Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related Escrow Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(b).
The Servicer will comply with all provisions of applicable state and
federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with
respect to, Primary Mortgage Insurance, including, but not limited to, the
provisions of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time.
(b) The Servicer shall take all actions necessary to collect, on
behalf of the Trust, any BPP Mortgage Loan Payments required to be made to the
Trust pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.06 Rights of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is
not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted
obligation to exercise the related rights of the Servicer hereunder; provided
that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. None of the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor shall have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor
shall the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor be obligated to
supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
-52-
Section 3.07 Trustee to Act as Servicer. If the Servicer shall for
any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event
of Default), the Trustee shall within 90 days of such time, assume, if it so
elects, or shall appoint a successor Servicer to assume, all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (a) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (b)
obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law
or (c) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Sections 7.02 and 8.05. If
the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason
of any Event of Default), the Trustee or the successor Servicer may elect to
succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing
Agreement or may terminate each Subservicing Agreement. If it has elected to
assume the Subservicing Agreement, the Trustee or the successor Servicer shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to any Subservicing Agreement entered into by
the Servicer as contemplated by Section 3.02 to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the
Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability or obligations under any such
Subservicing Agreement.
The Servicer that is no longer the Servicer hereunder shall, upon
request of the Trustee, but at the expense of such predecessor Servicer (unless
such predecessor Servicer is the Trustee), deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement or substitute
servicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of such substitute Subservicing
Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.08 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Servicer
Custodial Account; Certificate Account. (a) Continuously from the date hereof
until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the
Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect
all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans it services when the same
shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with all
applicable law and Customary Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes,
assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums and
all other charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services that, as
provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable 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 foregoing, the
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any
prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan it services and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that
the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date
on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the
Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.20 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The 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
-53-
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) The Servicer shall establish and maintain the Servicer Custodial
Account. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Servicer
Custodial Account, all on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and
collections remitted by Subservicers or received by the Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of
principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date)
and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the Servicing Fee;
(iii) (A) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than Insurance Proceeds to be (1) applied to the restoration or repair of
the Mortgaged Property, (2) released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
Customary Servicing Procedures or (3) required to be deposited to an
Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a), and other than any Excess
Proceeds and (B) any Insurance Proceeds released from an Escrow Account
pursuant to Section 3.09(b)(iv);
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
with respect to the Servicer Custodial Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.14;
(vi) all Repurchase Prices, all Substitution Adjustment Amounts and
all Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent received by the Servicer;
(vii) Periodic Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.20 and any Compensating Interest;
(viii) any Recoveries;
(ix) any BPP Mortgage Loan Payments collected by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05(b);
(x) any Buy-Down Funds required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.23; and
(xi) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
-54-
The foregoing requirements for deposits to the Servicer Custodial
Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be
deposited by the Servicer. If the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited, it may at any time
withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Servicer Custodial Account to
withdraw such amount from the Servicer Custodial Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer Custodial Account may contain
funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on
mortgage loans belonging to the Servicer or serviced by the Servicer on behalf
of others (a "Commingled Account"); provided that a Commingled Account shall not
be permitted at any time during which (i) Fitch's senior long-term unsecured
debt rating of Bank of America is below "A" or (ii) S&P's senior short-term
unsecured debt rating of Bank of America is below "A-2" (or, if no short-term
rating is available, the long-term rating is below "BBB+"). In the event that
S&P's senior short-term unsecured debt rating of Bank of America falls below
"A-2" (or, if no short-term rating is available, the long-term rating falls
below "BBB+"), the Commingled Account will be moved within 30 days to a
depository with a senior short-term unsecured debt rating of at least "A-2" (or,
if no short-term rating is available, a long-term rating of at least "BBB+") by
S&P. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Servicer shall keep records
that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account
that have been identified by it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans it
services. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all
withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.08. All funds required to be
deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trust until withdrawn in accordance
with Section 3.11.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain, on
behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Account, which shall be deemed
to consist of six sub-accounts. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly
upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate Account and retain therein the
following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount paid by the Securities Administrator pursuant to
Section 3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
with respect to the Certificate Account; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account.
If the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator and the Trustee which describes the
amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. All funds required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Securities
Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance
-55-
with Section 3.11. In no event shall the Securities Administrator incur
liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of the
Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which the Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in
writing by the Servicer, in the case of the Servicer Custodial Account, or the
Securities Administrator, in the case of the Certificate Account, in Permitted
Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Servicer
Custodial Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Remittance Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not
later than such Remittance Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate
Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if
such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains
such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Securities Administrator, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All
Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income shall be for the benefit of the
Servicer as part of its Servicing Compensation and shall be retained by it
monthly as provided herein. All income or 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 Securities Administrator as additional compensation and shall
be retained by it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses realized
in the Servicer Custodial Account or the Certificate Account incurred in any
such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by
the Servicer in the Servicer Custodial Account or by the Securities
Administrator in the Certificate Account, as applicable.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee of any proposed change of the location of the Servicer Custodial
Account maintained by the Servicer not later than 30 days and not more than 45
days prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall give notice
to the Servicer and the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any
proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account not later than 30
days after and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof. The creation
of the Servicer Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. A copy of such certification
shall be furnished to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.
(f) The Securities Administrator shall designate each of the
Middle-Tier Certificate Sub Account and the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account
as a sub-account of the Certificate Account. On each Distribution Date (other
than the Final Distribution Date, if such Final Distribution Date is in
connection with a purchase of the assets of the Trust Estate by the Depositor),
the Securities Administrator shall, from funds available on deposit in the
Certificate Account, be deemed to deposit into the Middle-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount. The Securities Administrator
shall then immediately, from funds available in the Middle-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account, be deemed to deposit into the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account,
the Middle-Tier Distribution Amount.
(g) With respect to any remittance received by the Securities
Administrator after the day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall
pay to the Securities
-56-
Administrator interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the
Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, but in no event greater than
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made
and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the day such
payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made,
both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be
deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default. Any
payment pursuant to this paragraph made by the Servicer to the Securities
Administrator shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement
therefor.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow
Payments in trust separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and for such purpose shall establish and maintain one or more escrow
accounts (collectively, the "Escrow Account"), titled "Bank of America, National
Association, in trust for registered holders of Banc of America Mortgage [____]
Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [____] and various Mortgagors." The
Escrow Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a
savings and loan association that meets the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution for escrow accounts and which is a
member of the Automated Clearing House. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be
insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Servicer shall
deposit in the appropriate Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) all
amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any related Mortgaged Property and (iii)
all amounts representing proceeds of any Primary Insurance Policy. Nothing
herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow
Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made by the Servicer only (i) to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments,
mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium or
PUD association dues, or comparable items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer out of related Escrow Payments
made with respect to a Mortgage Loan for any Servicing Advance made by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii)
to refund to any Mortgagor any sums determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer
to the Servicer Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law,
(v) for application to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds
deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to pay to itself any interest earned on
funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the
Mortgagor), (viii) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly
Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (ix) to withdraw
suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (x) to withdraw
any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (xi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01. Any Escrow Account shall not be a part of the
Trust Estate.
-57-
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other charges
which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of
Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage. The
Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such
charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to
the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the
Mortgagor in the Escrow Account, if any, which shall have been estimated and
accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide
for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills
irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments. The Servicer shall advance any such payments
that are not timely paid, but the Servicer shall be required so to advance only
to the extent that such Servicing Advances, in the good faith judgment of the
Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall afford the Securities
Administrator 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 the Servicer.
Section 3.11 Permitted Withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial
Account and Certificate Account. (a) The Servicer may from time to time make
withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account, for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained),
the Servicing Compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section
3.17;
(ii) to pay to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee any
amounts due to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee under this
Agreement (including, but not limited to, all amounts provided for under
Section 3.07, Section 8.05 and Section 9.11);
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances (including
Capitalized Advance Amounts) made by it, such right of reimbursement
pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received on the
Mortgage Loan(s) relating to which the Advances were made or the
Capitalized Advance Amounts were created (including amounts received in
respect of BPP Mortgage Loan Payments for such Mortgage Loan);
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iv)
being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans in the same Loan
Group as the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which such Nonrecoverable
Advance was made;
-58-
(v) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related
Insurance Proceeds;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
REO Property that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04, all
amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03;
(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(ix) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount equal
to the related Pool Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, to the
extent on deposit, and remit such amount in immediately available funds to
the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account;
(x) to clear and terminate the Servicer Custodial Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01; and
(xi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Capitalized Advance Amounts
created but only from amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage
Loans in the Related Loan Group representing (A) the amount of Liquidation
Proceeds (excluding Excess Proceeds) allocable to principal received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan that became a Liquidated Mortgage Loan
during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date
and (B) Principal Prepayments.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi). The Servicer shall keep and maintain such separate
accounting for each Loan Group. Prior to making any withdrawal from the Servicer
Custodial Account pursuant to clause (iv), the Servicer shall deliver to the
Securities Administrator an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer
indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s) and their
respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall notify
the Depositor and the Securities Administrator of the amount, purpose and party
paid pursuant to clause (vii) above.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall be deemed to withdraw funds
from the applicable Certificate Account sub-accounts for distributions to
Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition and
prior to any distributions to Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator
may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself as compensation earnings on or investment
income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account and to pay itself
and the Trustee any other
-59-
amounts due to it or the Trustee under this Agreement (including any
amounts pursuant to Section 5.10(e)), for the related Distribution Date;
(ii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer 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 10.01.
The Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor and the
Servicer of the amount and purpose of any payments made pursuant to clause (ii)
above (other than any earnings or investment income with respect to funds in the
Certificate Account).
(c) On each Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account and deemed to be on deposit in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account
shall be used to make payments on the Regular Certificates and the Class 1-A-R
Certificate (in respect of the Class R-U Interest) as provided in Sections 5.01
and 5.02. The Certificate Account shall be cleared and terminated upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
Section 3.12 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall
cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable
value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding
principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the
proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the
Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and the requirements of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain on REO Property,
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least
equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of
such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required, flood insurance
in an amount required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in an Escrow Account and
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures)
shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.11(a). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or
maintained on REO Property, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer, and shall provide
for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in
amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer.
-60-
The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by a
unit in a condominium development or planned unit development shall be
maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related development in a
manner which is consistent with Xxxxxx Mae requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may maintain a blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties
relating to the Mortgage Loans in lieu of maintaining the required hazard
insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan and may maintain a blanket policy
insuring against special flood hazards in lieu of maintaining any required flood
insurance. Any such blanket policies shall (A) be consistent with prudent
industry standards, (B) name the Servicer as loss payee, (C) provide coverage in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the related
Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and (D) otherwise comply with the
requirements of this Section 3.12. Any such blanket policy may contain a
deductible clause; provided that if any Mortgaged Property is not covered by a
separate policy otherwise complying with this Section 3.12 and a loss occurs
with respect to such Mortgaged Property which loss would have been covered by
such a policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the
difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a
separate policy complying with this Section 3.12 and the amount paid under such
blanket policy.
Section 3.13 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.13, when any
Mortgaged Property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent that it has actual
knowledge of such conveyance, to enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such
rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the
terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto
and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not
otherwise required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. If (i) the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such
due-on-sale clause, (ii) coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be
adversely affected, (iii) the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale
clause or (iv) nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section
3.13(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13 by reason of any transfer or
assumption which
-61-
the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for
any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due on sale clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), 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 or if an instrument of release is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
prepare and 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. In addition,
the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the
Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or
instrument, the Servicer shall execute an Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been
met. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or at the
direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) the Officer's Certificate described in
the previous sentence and 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 the Servicer for entering into an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement may be retained by the Servicer as
additional Servicing Compensation.
Section 3.14 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO
Property. Subject to Section 3.21, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged
Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion,
the Servicer shall follow Customary Servicing Procedures and shall meet the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated Holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class of Subordinate
Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in the
Subordinate Certificates alone or together with other subordinated mortgage
pass-through certificates. Such agreement shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit K or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment
that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering
into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such holder may instruct the Servicer to commence or delay
foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will
contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available
for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than
they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its
normal procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in
-62-
connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any Mortgaged
Property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the
Servicer Custodial Account). Any such expenditures shall constitute Servicing
Advances for purposes of this Agreement.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trust 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 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
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer
manage, conserve, protect and operate such 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. Incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Certificateholders, the Servicer may rent the same, or any part
thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Securities Administrator a
statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented, if any,
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to comply with the
reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall have no duty to rent any REO Property on behalf of the Trust. The
net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the Servicer Custodial Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, 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, if 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.
If the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as described above or
otherwise in connection with a default or a default which is reasonably
foreseeable on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to the end of the third calendar year following the year of its
acquisition by the Trust (such period, the "REO Disposition Period") unless (A)
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have been supplied by the
Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust
of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to the REO Disposition Period will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in
Section 860F of the Code) on any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or (B) the
Securities Administrator (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall have
applied for, prior to the expiration of the REO Disposition Period, an extension
of the REO Disposition
-63-
Period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code. If such an
Opinion of Counsel is provided or such an exemption is obtained, the Trust may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in
such Opinion of Counsel) for the applicable period. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust 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 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 created 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 Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes. The Servicer shall identify to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator any Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan held by the
Trust for 30 months for which no plans to dispose of such Mortgaged Property by
the Servicer have been made. After delivery of such identification, the Servicer
shall proceed to dispose of any such Mortgaged Property by holding a
commercially reasonable auction for such property.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Periodic Advances, unreimbursed Capitalized Advance
Amounts and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of
principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (solely for
the purposes of allocating principal and interest, interest shall be treated as
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 Servicer Custodial 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 Interest 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.
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 Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed
Periodic Advances and unreimbursed Capitalized Advance Amounts and to reimburse
the Servicer Custodial Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions
thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iv) that related to such Mortgage Loan; third, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Periodic Advance has been made for such amount or any
such Periodic Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Mortgage Interest Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month
in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, 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 Servicer as additional
Servicing Compensation pursuant to Section 3.17.
Section 3.15 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that
-64-
payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (or, at the direction of the
Trustee, the Custodian) by delivering, or causing to be delivered, two copies
(one of which will be returned to the Servicer with the Mortgage File) of a
Request for Release (which may be delivered in an electronic format acceptable
to the Trustee, the Custodian and the Servicer). Upon receipt of such request,
the Trustee shall, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian, as applicable,
within seven Business Days to release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer.
The Trustee shall or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian, as applicable,
deliver to the Servicer the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation
thereon. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee,
the Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the release of the
Mortgage on the records of MERS. Expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
related Mortgagor. 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, or the Trustee shall cause the
Custodian, as applicable, upon delivery to the Trustee (or, at the direction of
the Trustee, the Custodian) of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing
Officer, to release the Mortgage File within seven Business Days to the
Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall
cause the Mortgage File so released to be returned to the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are
deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, in which case the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, a Request for Release,
signed by a Servicing Officer.
Upon prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt of
notice that funds for such purpose have been placed in escrow, the Servicer
shall give an instrument of satisfaction (or Assignment of Mortgage without
recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan, which
instrument of satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, as the case may be, shall
be delivered to the Person entitled thereto against receipt of the prepayment in
full. If the Mortgage is registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the
Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the release on the records
of MERS. In lieu of executing such satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, or if
another document is required to be executed by the Trustee, the Servicer may
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 3.16 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to be Held for the Trust. The Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee
(or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) as required by this
Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming
into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for any funds received by the
Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in
-65-
respect of any Mortgage Loan. The documents constituting the Servicing File
shall be held by the Servicer as custodian and bailee for the Trustee. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account, shall be
held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trust, the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Servicer also agrees that it shall not knowingly create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account,
Certificate Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trust, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance
created by the Servicer, 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 the Servicer shall be
entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are
properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.17 Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be entitled
out of each payment of interest on a Mortgage Loan (or portion thereof) and
included in the Trust Estate to retain or withdraw from the Servicer Custodial
Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the aggregate Servicing Fee for the Servicer relating to
the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to
the Compensating Interest.
Any additional Servicing Compensation shall be retained by the
Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(b). The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.18 Annual Statement as to Compliance. Unless otherwise
agreed to by the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Servicer shall deliver, and the Servicer shall
cause each Additional Servicer engaged by it to deliver, in electronic form to
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and each Rating Agency
on or before March 5 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure period, but in no event later than
March 15), followed by a hard copy within 10 calendar days, commencing in March
[_______], a certificate in the form required by Item 1123 of Regulation AB, to
the effect that (i) an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer or the Additional Servicer, as the case may be, has reviewed (or a
review has been made under his or her supervision of) such party's activities
under this Agreement or such other applicable agreement in the case of an
Additional Servicer, during the prior calendar year or portion thereof and (ii)
to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such party has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable
agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects
throughout the prior calendar year or portion thereof or, if there has been a
failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each
such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly
after receipt of each such certificate, the Depositor shall
-66-
review such certificate and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer and the
Securities Administrator as to the nature of any failure to fulfill any
obligation under the Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case
of an Additional Servicer, in any material respect.
Section 3.19 Assessments of Servicing Compliance; Registered Public
Accounting Firm Attestation Reports. (a) Each of the Servicer and the Securities
Administrator, at its own expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, at such party's expense, to the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor in electronic form, not later than
March 5 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day
(with a 10 calendar day cure period, but in no event later than March 15),
followed by a hard copy within 10 calendar days, commencing in March [_____], a
report on an assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to
it that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for
assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a
statement that such party used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (C) such party's assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it as of and for the fiscal
year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 3.22,
including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it, an identification of each such failure and
the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public
accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party's assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to such party as of and for
such period; provided, however that no such assessment shall be required with
respect to any Servicing Function Participant who would not be considered a
separate "party participating in the servicing function" for purposes of Item
1122 of Regulation AB, as then interpreted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the event of any disagreement among any of the parties hereto
regarding the application of the Securities and Exchange Commission's
interpretation to a particular Servicing Function Participant, the determination
of the Servicer shall be binding.
Each such assessment of compliance report shall be addressed to the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer and signed by an
authorized officer of the applicable party, and shall address each of the
Relevant Servicing Criteria set forth on Exhibit Q hereto, or as set forth in
the notification furnished to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator
pursuant to Section 3.19(c). The Servicer and the Securities Administrator
hereby acknowledge and agree that their respective assessments of compliance
will cover the items identified on Exhibit Q hereto as being covered by such
party. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular
Servicing Criterion has multiple components, each party's assessment of
compliance (and related attestation of compliance) will relate only to those
components that are applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of each
such report on assessment of compliance, the Depositor shall review each such
report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer or the Securities
Administrator as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to it (or any Servicing Function Participant
engaged or utilized by the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable).
(b) Each of the Servicer and the Securities Administrator, at its
own expense, shall cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it from which an assessment of servicing compliance is required
pursuant to Section 3.19(a), at such party's expense, to cause, not later than
March 5 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, the
-67-
next Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure period), commencing in March
[_____], a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other
services to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, or such other Servicing
Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish electronically a report to
the Depositor (with a hard copy to follow within 10 calendar days), to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for
attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party's
assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all
material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such
party's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria. In the event that
an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such
report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use
language. If requested by the Depositor, such report shall contain or be
accompanied by a consent of such accounting firm to inclusion or incorporation
of such report in the Depositor's registration statement on Form S-3 relating to
the Offered Certificates and the Form 10-K for the Trust.
Promptly after receipt of each such accountants' attestation report,
the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with the
Servicer or the Securities Administrator if such report (i) states that a
party's assessment of compliance was not fairly stated in any material respect
or (ii) is unable to state an overall opinion.
(c) No later than 30 days following the end of each fiscal year for
the Trust for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed, (i) the Servicer shall
forward to the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged
by it and what Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment
of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant and (ii) the
Securities Administrator shall forward to the Depositor the name of each
Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing
Function Participant, in each case to the extent of any change from the prior
year's notice, if any.
(d) Beginning with fiscal year [_____] and thereafter, none of the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by such parties shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of
any such assessments or attestation reports until April 15 of the following year
unless such party has received written notice from the Depositor that a Form
10-K is required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal
year.
Section 3.20 Advances. The Servicer shall determine on or before
each Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make a Periodic Advance
pursuant to the definition thereof. If the Servicer determines it is required to
make a Periodic Advance, it shall, on or before the Servicer Advance Date,
either (a) deposit into the Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the
Advance and/or (b) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the
Servicer Custodial Account that any portion of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution with respect to a Loan Group in the Servicer Custodial Account has
been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Periodic Advance on a Mortgage Loan in such Loan
-68-
Group. Any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the
Servicer Custodial Account no later than the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the next Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed from the Servicer Custodial Account for all Advances (including
Capitalized Advance Amounts) of its own funds made pursuant to this Section 3.20
as provided in Section 3.11(a). The obligation to make Periodic Advances with
respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until the ultimate disposition of
the REO Property or Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan. The
Servicer shall inform the Securities Administrator of the amount of the Periodic
Advance to be made by the Servicer with respect to each Loan Group on each
Servicer Advance Date no later than the related Remittance Date.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator on the
related Servicer Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer
indicating the amount of any proposed Periodic Advance determined by the
Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Servicer shall not be required to make any Periodic Advance or
Servicing Advance that would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 3.21 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a)
Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer may agree to any modification,
waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan without the
consent of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Certificateholder.
All modifications, waivers, forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage Loan
shall be in writing and shall be consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures.
(b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not enter
into, any modification, waiver (other than a waiver referred to in Section 3.13,
which waiver, if any, shall be governed by Section 3.13), forbearance or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver,
forbearance, or amendment would:
(i) forgive principal owing under such Mortgage Loan or permanently
reduce the interest rate on such Mortgage Loan;
(ii) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of
principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder;
(iii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security for
such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts
due thereon; or
(iv) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b);
unless (A) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such
default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and (B) the
Servicer has reasonably determined that such modification, waiver, forbearance
or amendment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders in the
aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (x) effect an exchange
or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury
Regulations, (y) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code or the
-69-
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the
Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions or, (z) extend the final maturity date
with respect to any Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group beyond the Final Scheduled
Maturity Date for the Certificates in the Related Group. For the avoidance of
doubt, a modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment shall be deemed to be
in the best interests of the Certificateholders in the aggregate if the Servicer
determines that such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is
reasonably likely to increase the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan over the
amount expected to be collected pursuant to foreclosure. Subject to Customary
Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may permit a forbearance for a Mortgage Loan
which in the Servicer's judgment is subject to imminent default.
(c) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a
Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, the
granting of which is within the Servicer's discretion pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such
Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as additional Servicing Compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection
with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer, which amount shall be retained by the Servicer as additional Servicing
Compensation.
(d) The Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver,
forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof,
and shall deliver to the Trustee (or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Custodian) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of
the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment,
promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) following the execution
thereof; provided, however, that if any such modification, waiver, forbearance
or amendment is required by applicable law to be recorded, the Servicer (i)
shall deliver to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, a copy
thereof and (ii) shall deliver to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's
behalf, such document, with evidence of notification upon receipt thereof from
the public recording office.
Section 3.22 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. (a)
The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer shall reasonably
cooperate with the Depositor to enable the Depositor to satisfy its reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act and the parties hereto shall reasonably
cooperate to enable the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements with
respect to the Depositor to be met in the event that the Securities and Exchange
Commission issues additional interpretive guidelines or promulgates rules or
regulations, or in the event of any other change of law that would require
reporting arrangements or the allocation of responsibilities with respect
thereto, as described in this Section 3.22, to be conducted or allocated in a
different manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Securities Administrator shall prepare on behalf of the Depositor any Current
Reports on Form 8-K (each, a "Form 8-K"), Distribution Reports on Form 10-D
(each, a "Form 10-D") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K (each, a "Form 10-K") as
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder, the Servicer shall sign such forms (other than
Form 8-Ks) or the Depositor shall sign such Form 8-Ks, the Securities
Administrator shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the
Depositor. Notwithstanding
-70-
the foregoing, the Depositor shall file the Form 8-Ks in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates.
(b) Each Form 10-D shall be filed by the Securities Administrator
within 15 days after each Distribution Date and will include a copy of the
monthly statement to Certificateholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(b)
(each, a "Distribution Date Statement") for such Distribution Date as an exhibit
thereto. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall include under Item 1 of
each Form 10-D any information required by Item 1121 of Regulation AB to the
extent relevant that is not included on the Distribution Date Statement. Any
information in addition to the Distribution Date Statement and any other
information required by Item 1121 of Regulation AB ("Additional Form 10-D
Information") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator by the party responsible for such information as set forth on
Exhibit R-1 hereto and the Securities Administrator shall compile such
information pursuant to the following paragraph. The Securities Administrator
will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Additional Form 10-D Information, except to the extent of its obligations as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-1 hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, certain parties hereto shall be required to provide
to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, to the extent known by such
parties, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, (i) any Additional Form
10-D Information, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form
and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 10-D Information (other than with respect to Additional Form
10-D Information provided by the Securities Administrator). The Depositor will
be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D
Information on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any
such information to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor and the
Servicer for review. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D
and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original
executed hard copy to immediately follow) to the Securities Administrator. If a
Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 3.22(e). Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking
"yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for
such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and
(2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The
Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator, with respect to each
Form 10-D, to check "yes" for each item unless the Securities Administrator has
received timely prior written notice from the Depositor that the answer should
be "no" for an item. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities Administrator will
make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D.
The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any
-71-
failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such
failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Trust (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (the "10-K Filing
Deadline") commencing in [_____], the Securities Administrator shall file a Form
10-K, in form and substance as required by applicable law or applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretations. Each such Form 10-K

will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Additional Form 10-K Information, except to the extent of its obligations as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-2 hereto, no later than March 1st of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in [_______], certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to
provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known
by such applicable parties, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as
otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, (i) any
Additional Form 10-K Information, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor will
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Information (other than with respect to
Additional Form 10-K Information provided by the Securities Administrator). The
Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any
-72-
Additional Form 10-K Information on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph,
including converting any such information to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and the
Servicer for review. No later than the close of business on the fourth Business
Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, a senior officer of the Servicer in
charge of the servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K, together with a signed copy of
the certification (the "Certification") attached hereto as Exhibit O and
required to be included with each Form 10-K pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act
of 2002, as amended (with an original executed hard copy of each to follow by
overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed
on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities
Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.22(e). Form 10-K
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such
filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby represents to
the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required
reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such
filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than March 15th with respect to
the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to either question should be
"no." The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such
representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report. Promptly
(but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of
its duties under this Section 3.22(c) relating to the timely preparation and
filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer
or Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties under this Section 3.22, Section 3.18 and
Section 3.19. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall provide to the Servicer, on
or before March 5 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure period), followed by a hard copy
within 10 days, commencing in March [____], and otherwise within a reasonable
period of time upon request, a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit P. In the event the Securities Administrator is terminated or resigns
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Securities Administrator shall
provide a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P with respect to
the period of time it was subject to this Agreement. In addition, the Securities
Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and
the Sponsor and their officers, directors and affiliates from and against any
losses,
-73-
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon any inaccuracy in (i) the assessment of compliance with the Servicing
Criteria pursuant to Section 3.19 provided by Securities Administrator or any
Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Securities Administrator and
(ii) the certification provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Section 3.22(c), any breach of the obligations under Sections 3.19 and 3.22(c)
of the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant appointed
by the Securities Administrator or the Securities Administrator's or such
Servicing Function Participant's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sponsor and
their officers, directors and affiliates, then the Securities Administrator
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Sponsor, any of their officers, directors or affiliates as
a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Sponsor, any of their officers, directors or affiliates in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Sponsor and each of their officers, directors and affiliates on
the one hand and the Securities Administrator on the other in connection with a
breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this Section 3.22(c)
or the Securities Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith.
(d) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act,
provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-Ks in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates. Any information related to a Reportable Event
or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (such information,
"Form 8-K Information") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator by the party responsible for such information set forth on Exhibit
R-3 hereto and compiled by the Securities Administrator pursuant to the
following paragraph. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability
for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Information or
any Form 8-K, except to the extent of its obligations as set forth in the next
paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than 12:00 noon on
the second Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event certain
parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator, to the extent known by such applicable parties, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Securities Administrator and such party, (i) any Form 8-K Information, if
applicable and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 8-K
Information (other than with respect to Additional Form 8-K Information provided
by the Securities Administrator). The Depositor will be responsible for all
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Information on Form 8-K
pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any such information to an
XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review,
verification and
-74-
execution by the Depositor. No later than 12:00 noon on the fourth Business Day
after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K
and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original
executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator.
Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make available on
its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed
by it. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K
needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set
forth in Section 3.22(e). The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the
Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 3.22(d) related to the
timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the parties to this
Agreement and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Information as set
forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the
performance of their duties under this Section 3.22(d). The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator
or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities Administrator)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(e) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to
timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all or any required
portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed by this
Agreement because required information was either not delivered to it or
delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for
any other reason, the Securities Administrator will immediately notify the
Depositor and the Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the
Depositor, Servicer and Securities Administrator will cooperate to prepare and
file a Form 12b-25 pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of
Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all information
required to be included on Form 8-K, and upon approval and direction of the
Depositor, include such disclosure in the filing of such Form 8-K or include
such disclosure on the next Form 10-D. Within 5 calendar days following the
original due date of the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file the related Form 10-D. Within 15 calendar days following the original
due date of the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file
the related Form 10-K. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form
10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the party to this Agreement deciding that
an amendment to such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is required will notify
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer and such parties
will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A.
Any Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by a
senior officer of the Servicer in charge of the servicing function. Any
amendment to Form 8-K or any Form 15 (as described in Section 3.22(g)) shall be
signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor and Servicer acknowledge
that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this
Section 3.22(e) related to the timely preparation and filing of a Form 12b-25 or
any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon the
Servicer and the Depositor performing their duties under this Section. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K,
-75-
Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25
or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(f) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Securities Administrator shall promptly make available to the Depositor a copy
of any such executed report, statement or information.
(g) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Securities
Administrator is obligated to file reports on Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K. Unless
otherwise instructed by the Depositor, on or prior to January 30th of the first
year in which the Securities Administrator is permitted to do so under Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act and other applicable law and regulations, the
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a
copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension
Notification, if the number of Certificateholders of record exceeds the number
set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated
pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall
recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-D and 10-K as required
pursuant to this Section and the parties hereto will again have the obligations
set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section.
(h) The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Securities Administrator of any

be deposited in the Buy-Down Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized.

(computed to eight decimal places) equal to 0.100% of the Group Subordinate
Amount for Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3, respectively (except
that if any such amount is greater than on the preceding Distribution Date, the
least amount of principal shall be distributed to the Class 1-LS Interest, Class

Interest and the Class 3-LS Interest, so as to keep the principal balances
thereof (computed to eight decimal places) equal to 0.100% of the Group
Subordinate Amount for Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3, respectively
(except that if any such amount is greater than on the preceding Distribution
Date, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to the Class 1-LS
Interest, Class 2-LS Interest and Class 3-LS Interest such that the Subordinate
Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, the remaining Realized Losses shall be
allocated to the Class 1-L Interest, the Class 2-L Interest and the Class 3-L
Interest. Any Realized Losses allocated to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests pursuant to this paragraph shall be (a) from Realized Losses allocated
to Loan Group 1 in the case of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning
with the numeral "1," (b) from Realized Losses allocated to Loan Group 2 in the
case of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "2" and

Interest shall equal the aggregate Pool Stated Principal Balance of Loan Group
3.
The pass-through rate with respect to the Class 1-L Interest and the
Class 1-LS Interest shall be the Group 1 Lower-Tier Rate. The pass-through rate
with respect to the Class 2-L Interest and the Class 2-LS Interest shall be the
Group 2 Lower-Tier Rate. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class 3-L
Interest and the Class 3-LS Interest shall be the Group 3 Lower-Tier Rate.
Any Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls and Relief Act Reductions will
be allocated to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest in the same relative
proportions as interest is allocated to such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
Amounts distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of
principal and interest with respect to any Distribution Date are referred to
herein collectively as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount."
-81-
(b) (i) With respect to the Group 1 Senior Certificates:
On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Group 1 Senior Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) for such Distribution Date, will be distributed,
sequentially, as follows:
(A) first, [Insert payment priorities]
(ii) With respect to the Group 2 Senior Certificates:
On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Group 2 Senior Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) for such Distribution Date, will be distributed,
concurrently, as follows: [insert payment priorities]
(iii) With respect to the Group 3 Senior Certificates:
On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Group 3 Senior Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) for such Distribution Date, will be distributed,
concurrently, as follows: [insert payment priorities]
(iv) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth above, the
portion of the Pool Distribution Amount with respect to a Group available to be
distributed as principal of the Senior Certificates of each Group shall be
distributed concurrently, as principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis
of their respective Class Certificate Balances, until the Class Certificate
Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
The Class 1-A-7 and Class 2-A-7 Certificates are Interest Only
Certificates and are not entitled to distributions in respect of principal.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date prior
to the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date but on or after the date on which
the Class Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates of a Group have been
reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable from Unscheduled Principal
Amounts for the Related Loan Group on the Subordinate Certificates will be
distributable as principal to the remaining Classes of Senior Certificates
together with the applicable Senior Principal Distribution Amount in accordance
with the priorities set forth for the applicable Group in (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate
Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than twice the initial Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage or (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans (including, for this purpose, any Mortgage Loans in foreclosure, any REO
Property, any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgagor has filed for bankruptcy
after the Closing Date and any Mortgage Loans that were the subject of a
Servicer Modification within twelve months prior to such Distribution Date)
delinquent 60 days or more (averaged over the preceding six-month period), as a
percentage of the Class Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates, is
greater than or equal to 50%. If the Senior Certificates of two Groups remain
outstanding, the distributions described above will be made to the Senior
Certificates of such Groups, pro rata, in proportion to the aggregate Class
Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates of each such Group. In addition,
if on any Distribution Date, after giving
-82-
effect to the second preceding sentence, the Class Certificate Balances of the
Senior Certificates of a Group is greater than the Adjusted Pool Amount of the
Related Loan Group (any such Group, the "Undercollateralized Group" and any such
excess, the "Undercollateralized Amount"), all amounts otherwise distributable
as principal on the Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(iii)(M), (L), (J), (H), (F), (D) and (B), in that order, will be paid as
principal to the Senior Certificates of the Undercollateralized Group together
with the applicable Senior Principal Distribution Amount in accordance with the
priorities set forth for the applicable Group above under (i), (ii) or (iii)
until the sum of the Class Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates of
the Undercollateralized Group equals the Adjusted Pool Amount of the Related
Loan Group. Also, the amount of any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfalls with
respect to the Undercollateralized Group (including any Class Unpaid Interest
Shortfalls for such Distribution Date) will be distributable to the
Undercollateralized Group pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) prior to the payment of
any Undercollateralized Amount from amounts otherwise distributable as principal
on the Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii)(M), (L), (J),
(H), (F), (D) and (B), in that order. Such amount will be distributable to the
Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group up to their Interest
Distribution Amounts for such Distribution Date. If two Groups are
Undercollateralized Groups, the distributions described above will be made, pro
rata, in proportion to the amount by which the aggregate Class Certificate
Balance of the Senior Certificates of each such Group exceeds the Adjusted Pool
Amount of the Related Loan Group.
(c) On each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest for each
Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced by such Class'
pro rata share, based on such Class' Interest Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date, without taking into account the allocation made by this
Section 5.02(c), of (A) Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls, (B) on and after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any other Realized Loss on the Mortgage
Loans in the Related Loan Group allocable to interest and (C) Relief Act
Reductions incurred on the Mortgage Loans during the calendar month preceding
the month of such Distribution Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(iii), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on any
Distribution Date, (i) the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date of all Classes of Subordinate
Certificates lower in order of payment priority than such Class, divided by (ii)
the aggregate Pool Stated Principal Balance for all Loan Groups (the "Fractional
Interest") is less than the Original Fractional Interest for such Class, no
distribution of principal in respect of clause (ii) of the Subordinate Principal
Distribution Amount will be made to any Classes junior to such Class (the
"Restricted Classes") and the Class Certificate Balances of the Restricted
Classes will not be used in determining the Pro Rata Share for the Subordinate
Certificates that are not Restricted Classes. If the aggregate Class Certificate
Balance of the Subordinate Certificates that are not Restricted Classes is
reduced to zero, notwithstanding the previous sentence, any funds remaining will
be distributed sequentially to the Restricted Classes in order of their payment
priority (beginning with the Restricted Class then outstanding highest in order
of payment priority).
Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses. (a) On or prior to the 10th
calendar day of each month (or, if such 10th calendar day is not a Business Day,
the next Business Day), the Servicer shall inform the Securities Administrator
in writing with respect to each Mortgage
-83-
Loan: (1) whether any Realized Loss is a Deficient Valuation or a Debt Service
Reduction, (2) of the amount of such loss or Deficient Valuation, or of the
terms of such Debt Service Reduction and (3) of the total amount of Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group. Based on such information, the
Securities Administrator shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group with respect to the related Distribution
Date. Realized Losses shall be allocated to the Certificates by a reduction in
the Class Certificate Balances of the designated Classes pursuant to Section
5.03(b).
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding lowest in order of payment priority shall be
reduced or increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, necessary
such that the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of all outstanding
Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the amount to be distributed as
a distribution of principal on such Distribution Date) equals the sum of all
Adjusted Pool Amounts for such Distribution Date.
After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, the Class
Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates of each Group in the aggregate
shall be reduced or increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any,
necessary such that the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of all
outstanding Classes of Senior Certificates of such Group (after giving effect to
the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal on such Distribution
Date) equals the Adjusted Pool Amount for the Related Loan Group for such
Distribution Date.
Any such reduction or increase shall be allocated among the Senior
Certificates of such Group, pro rata, based on the Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
(c) Any reduction or increase in the Class Certificate Balance of a
Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) above shall be allocated among
the Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests.
(d) The calculation of the amount to be distributed as principal to
any Class of Subordinate Certificates with respect to a Distribution Date (the
"Calculated Principal Distribution") shall be made prior to the allocation of
any Realized Losses for such Distribution Date; provided, however, the actual
payment of principal to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates shall be made
subsequent to the allocation of Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In
the event that after the allocation of Realized Losses for a Distribution Date,
the Calculated Principal Distribution for a Class of Subordinate Certificates is
greater than the Class Certificate Balance of such Class, the excess shall be
distributed first, sequentially, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding highest in order of payment priority) until the respective Class
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero and then to the Senior
Certificates of such Group, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Certificate Balances.
(e) After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any
Distribution Date on which the Class 1-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount is greater
than zero, the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-2 Certificates will be
reduced by the Class 1-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding Section
5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balances of the Class 1-A-3,
-84-
Class 1-A-4 and Class 1-A-6 Certificates will not be reduced by the Class 1-A-2
Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date
in which the sum of the Class 1-A-3 Loss Amount, Class 1-A-4 Loss Amount and
Class 1-A-6 Loss Amount exceeds the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-2
Certificates prior to any reduction for the Class 1-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount,
such excess will be distributed pro rata in reduction of the Class Certificate
Balances of the Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-4 and Class 1-A-6 Certificates. After the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any Distribution Date on which the
Class 1-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount is greater than zero, the Class Certificate
Balance of the Class 1-A-6 Certificates will be reduced by the Class 1-A-6 Loss
Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding Section 5.03(b), the Class Certificate
Balances of the Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-4 Certificates will not be reduced by
the Class 1-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any
Distribution Date in which the sum of the Class 1-A-3 Loss Amount and Class
1-A-4 Loss Amount exceeds the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-6
Certificates prior to any reduction for the Class 1-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount,
such excess will be distributed pro rata in reduction of the Class Certificate
Balances of the Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-4 Certificates. After the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, on any Distribution Date on which the Class 2-A-2
Loss Allocation Amount is greater than zero, the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class 2-A-2 Certificates will be reduced by the Class 2-A-2 Loss Allocation
Amount and, notwithstanding Section 5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balances of
the Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4 and Class 2-A-6 Certificates will not be reduced by
the Class 2-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any
Distribution Date in which the sum of the Class 2-A-3 Loss Amount, Class 2-A-4
Loss Amount and Class 2-A-6 Loss Amount exceeds the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class 2-A-2 Certificates prior to any reduction for the Class 2-A-2 Loss
Allocation Amount, such excess will be distributed pro rata in reduction of the
Class Certificate Balances of the Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4 and Class 2-A-6
Certificates. After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any
Distribution Date on which the Class 2-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount is greater
than zero, the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 2-A-6 Certificates will be
reduced by the Class 2-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding Section
5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balances of the Class 2-A-3 and Class 2-A-4
Certificates will not be reduced by the Class 2-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date in which the sum of the
Class 2-A-3 Loss Amount and Class 2-A-4 Loss Amount exceeds the Class
Certificate Balance of the Class 2-A-6 Certificates prior to any reduction for
the Class 2-A-6 Loss Allocation Amount, such excess will be distributed pro rata
in reduction of the Class Certificate Balances of the Class 2-A-3 and Class
2-A-4 Certificates. After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any
Distribution Date on which the Class 3-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount is greater
than zero, the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 3-A-2 Certificates will be
reduced by the Class 3-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding Section
5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balances of the Class 3-A-3, Class 3-A-4 and
Class 3-A-7 Certificates will not be reduced by the Class 3-A-2 Loss Allocation
Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date in which the sum
of the Class 3-A-3 Loss Amount, Class 3-A-4 Loss Amount and Class 3-A-7 Loss
Amount exceeds the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 3-A-2 Certificates
prior to any reduction for the Class 3-A-2 Loss Allocation Amount, such excess
will be distributed pro rata in reduction of the Class Certificate Balances of
the Class 3-A-3, Class 3-A-4 and Class 3-A-7 Certificates. After the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, on any Distribution Date on which the Class 3-A-7
Loss Allocation Amount is greater than zero, the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class 3-A-7 Certificates will be reduced by the Class 3-A-7 Loss
-85-
Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding Section 5.03(b), the Class Certificate
Balances of the Class 3-A-3 and Class 3-A-4 Certificates will not be reduced by
the Class 3-A-7 Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any
Distribution Date in which the sum of the Class 3-A-3 Loss Amount and Class
3-A-4 Loss Amount exceeds the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 3-A-7
Certificates prior to any reduction for the Class 3-A-7 Loss Allocation Amount,
such excess will be distributed pro rata in reduction of the Class Certificate
Balances of the Class 3-A-3 and Class 3-A-4 Certificates.
Any increase in Class Certificate Balance allocated to the Class
1-A-3, Class 1-A-4 and Class 1-A-6 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) will
instead increase the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-2 Certificates;
any increase in Class Certificate Balance allocated to the Class 2-A-3, Class
2-A-4 and Class 2-A-6 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) will instead
increase the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 2-A-2 Certificates; and any
increase in Class Certificate Balance allocated to the Class 3-A-3, Class 3-A-4
and Class 3-A-7 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) will instead increase
the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 3-A-2 Certificates.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.03, no
Class Certificate Balance will be increased on any Distribution Date such that
the Class Certificate Balance of such Class exceeds its Initial Class
Certificate Balance less all distributions of principal previously distributed
in respect of such Class on prior Distribution Dates (excluding in the case of
any Class of Subordinate Certificates any principal otherwise payable to such
Class of Subordinate Certificates but used to pay any PO Deferred Amount).
(g) With respect to any Distribution Date, Realized Losses allocated
pursuant to this Section 5.03 will be allocated to each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest as described in Section 5.02(a) and to each Uncertificated
Middle-Tier Interest in an amount equal to the Realized Losses allocated to such
Uncertificated Middle-Tier Interest's Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes.

Administrator, based upon information supplied to it on the Servicer's
Certificate, shall make available to each Holder of a Certificate, each Rating
Agency and the Servicer a statement setting forth the information set forth in
Section 5.04(a).
In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) of Section 5.04(a), the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per
Certificate with a $1,000 Denomination.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and make available to each Financial Market Service, in electronic or
such other format and media mutually agreed upon by the Securities
Administrator, the Financial Market Service and the Depositor, the information
contained in the statement described in Section 5.04(a) for such Distribution
Date.
The Securities Administrator will make the monthly statement to
Certificateholders (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same
information in an alternative format) available each month to
Certificateholders, and other parties to this Agreement via the Securities
Administrator's Internet website, initially located at "xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx". The
Securities Administrator will also make available copies of the periodic reports
the Securities Administrator prepares and files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including distribution reports on Form 10-D, annual reports on Form
10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports available
through this website promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after they
are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Assistance in using this
website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator at (312)
904-4839. Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a
paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Securities
Administrator and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the
right to change the way the monthly statements to Certificateholders are
distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more
accessible to the above parties and the Securities Administrator shall provide
timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such
changes.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time
during the calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, if requested in
writing by such Person, a statement containing the information set forth in
clauses (iii), (iv) and (ix) of Section 5.04(a), in each case aggregated for
such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be
deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any
requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.
The Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Holders of
Certificates any reports or information the Securities Administrator is required
by this Agreement or the Code,
-89-
Treasury Regulations or REMIC Provisions to deliver to the Holders of
Certificates, and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and provide to the
Certificateholders (by mail, telephone, or publication as may be permitted by
applicable Treasury Regulations) such other reasonable information as the
Securities Administrator deems necessary or appropriate or is required by the
Code, Treasury Regulations, and the REMIC Provisions including, but not limited
to, (i) information to be reported to the Holder of the Residual Certificate for
quarterly notices on Schedule Q (Form 1066) (which information shall be
forwarded to the Holder of the Residual Certificate by the Securities
Administrator), (ii) information to be provided to the Holders of Certificates
with respect to amounts which should be included as interest and original issue
discount in such Holders' gross income and (iii) information to be provided to
all Holders of Certificates setting forth the percentage of each REMIC's assets,
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations using a convention, not
inconsistent with Treasury Regulations, selected by the Securities Administrator
in its absolute discretion, that constitute real estate assets under Section 856
of the Code, and assets described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code;
provided, however, that in setting forth the percentage of such assets of each
REMIC, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation Section
7.03 hereof, shall be interpreted to require the Securities Administrator
periodically to appraise the fair market values of the assets of the Trust
Estate or to indemnify the Trust Estate or any Certificateholders from any
adverse federal, state or local tax consequences associated with a change
subsequently required to be made in the Depositor's initial good faith
determinations of such fair market values (if subsequent determinations are
required pursuant to the REMIC Provisions) made from time to time.
For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and reported based on the so-called
"MBA" methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with
respect to a Monthly Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not
made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date,
and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days delinquent with respect to such
Monthly Payment if such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business
on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due Date.
Section 5.05 Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders. (a) For
federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a calendar year taxable year
and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be
prepared, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Securities
Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service
and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax information returns for
each taxable year with respect to each REMIC containing such information at the
times and in the manner as may be required by the Code, the Treasury Regulations
or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to each REMIC and the Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby.
Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall furnish
or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as
otherwise required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations, the name, title,
address and telephone number of the person that Holders of the Certificates may
contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional
information at the time
-90-
or times and in the manner required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations.
Such federal, state, or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, or such other Person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code, the Treasury Regulations or state or local tax
laws, regulations, or rules.
(c) In the first federal income tax return of each REMIC for its
short taxable year ending [____], REMIC status shall be elected for such taxable
year and all succeeding taxable years.
(d) The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be
maintained such records relating to each REMIC, including but not limited to
records relating to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Trust
Estate, and the initial fair market value and adjusted basis of the Trust Estate
property and assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code
or the Treasury Regulations, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing
returns, schedules, statements or information.
Section 5.06 Tax Matters Person. The Tax Matters Person shall have
the same duties with respect to each REMIC as those of a "tax matters partner"
under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the Code. The Holder of the
Class 1-A-R Certificate is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Person for each
of the REMICs. By its acceptance of the Class 1-A-R Certificate, each such
Holder irrevocably appoints the Securities Administrator as its agent to perform
all of the duties of the Tax Matters Person for the REMICs.
Section 5.07 Rights of the Tax Matters Person in Respect of the
Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall make available to
the Tax Matters Person such books, documents or records relating to the
Securities Administrator's services hereunder as the Tax Matters Person shall
reasonably request, and shall afford access to officers of the Securities
Administrator responsible for performing such services. The Tax Matters Person
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act
by the Securities Administrator and is not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 5.08 REMIC Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust shall
exist, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicer
shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs and
avoid the imposition of tax on any REMIC created hereunder. In particular:
(a) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall
create, or permit the creation of, any "interests" in any REMIC created
hereunder within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests
represented by the Regular Certificates, the Residual Certificate, the
Uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, (i) the Depositor and
the Servicer shall not contribute to the Trust Estate and the Securities
Administrator shall not accept property unless substantially all of the property
held in each REMIC constitutes either "qualified mortgages" or "permitted
investments" as defined in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and
-91-
(5), respectively, and (ii) no property shall be contributed to any REMIC
created hereunder after the start-up day unless such contribution would not
subject the Trust Estate to the 100% tax on contributions to a REMIC after the
start-up day of a REMIC imposed by Code Section 860G(d).
(c) Neither the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trust
Estate or the Trustee, nor the Trustee shall accept on behalf of any REMIC
created hereunder any fee or other compensation for services and none of the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer shall knowingly accept, on
behalf of the Trust Estate any income from assets other than those permitted to
be held by a REMIC.
(d) None of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trust Estate shall sell or permit the sale of all
or any portion of the Mortgage Loans (other than in accordance with Section 2.02
or 2.04), unless such sale is pursuant to a "qualified liquidation" of the
applicable REMIC as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and in accordance with
Article X.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall maintain books with respect
to the Trust and each REMIC on a calendar year taxable year and on an accrual
basis.
None of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee
shall engage in a "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Code Section
860F(a)(2)), except that, with the prior written consent of the Servicer and the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator may engage in the activities otherwise
prohibited by the foregoing paragraphs (b), (c) and (d); provided that the
Servicer shall have delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not result in the imposition of
a tax on any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC and will not disqualify any REMIC created hereunder from treatment as a
REMIC; and, provided, further, that the Servicer shall have demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that such action will not adversely
affect the rights of the Holders of the Certificates and the Securities
Administrator and that such action will not adversely impact the rating of the
Certificates.
Section 5.09 [RESERVED].
ARTICLE VI
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 6.01 The Certificates. The Classes of Senior Certificates
and the Subordinate Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth
in Exhibits X-0, X-0, B and C (reverse of all Certificates) and shall, on
original issue, be executed by the Securities Administrator and shall be
authenticated and delivered by the Securities Administrator to or upon the order
of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The Senior Certificates
(other than the Class 1-A-R Certificate) and the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3
and Class B-4 Certificates shall
-92-
initially be issued in book-entry form through the Depository and delivered to
the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository's instructions on behalf of the
Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and all other
Classes of Certificates shall initially be issued in definitive,
fully-registered form.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer or signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Securities Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the execution and delivery of such Certificates or did not
hold such offices or positions at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the
Securities Administrator substantially in the form provided for herein, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 6.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at an office or agency
in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator
is located a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. The Securities Administrator shall initially serve as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like Class,
tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to
be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the
Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
(c) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) below, the
Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the
Depository or its nominee and at all times: (A) registration of the Certificates
may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another
Depository; (B) 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; (C) 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; (D) the Depository may collect
its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository
Participants; (E) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository as
the representative of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
-93-
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of the Depository shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(F) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
(ii) 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.
(iii) If the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository and the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor,
the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through
the Depository, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of
definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates")
to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository (or by the Certificate Custodian, if it holds such Class on
behalf of the Depository), accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instruction and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide
the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to
facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(d) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and
such laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made
in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws or is being made pursuant to the 1933
Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor and (ii) the Securities Administrator
shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1 and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit G-2A or as Exhibit G-2B, which
certificates shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and
-94-
(ii) shall not apply to a transfer of a Private Certificate between or among the
Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both (which certification in the case
of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the
Certificateholder's prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented
such certification). The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferees 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 1933 Act pursuant to the registration exemption
provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect
such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor 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.
(e) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made
unless the transferee delivers to the Securities Administrator either (i) a
representation letter in the form of Exhibit H from the transferee of such
Certificate, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer, or (ii) in
the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the
name of an employee benefit plan or arrangement, including an individual
retirement account, subject to ERISA, the Code, or any federal, state or local
law ("Similar Law") which is similar to ERISA or the Code (collectively, a
"Plan"), or a trustee or custodian of any of the foregoing, an Opinion of
Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and
the Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted
Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of
the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer. Any transferee of
an ERISA Restricted Certificate that does not comply with either clause (i) or
(ii) of the preceding sentence will be deemed to have made one of the
representations set forth in Exhibit H. For purposes of clause (i) of the second
preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry
Certificate of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA-Restricted
Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the
transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the
Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without
the delivery to the Securities Administrator and the Servicer of an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Servicer as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar
shall have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates made through
the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among any Depository
Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable
restrictions. The Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected
in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
-95-
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
(f) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
the Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions,
and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in the
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in the Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit I hereto from the proposed transferee.
(iv) Notwithstanding the delivery of an affidavit by a proposed
transferee under clause (iii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Securities Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee
is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer of any Ownership Interest in
the Residual Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected.
(v) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate may be
purchased by or transferred to any Person that is not a U.S. Person,
unless (A) such Person holds the Residual Certificate in connection with
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and furnishes
the transferor and the Securities Administrator with an effective Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto) or (B) the transferee
delivers to both the transferor and the Securities Administrator an
Opinion of Counsel from a nationally-recognized tax counsel to the effect
that such transfer is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and
the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the
Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax
purposes.
(vi) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in the Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
6.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section 6.02, become a Holder of
-96-
the Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of the Residual
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the
registration of transfer of the Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of the
Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of the Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for
making any distributions due on the Residual Certificate to the Holder
thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of the Agreement so long as the transfer was registered in
accordance with this Section 6.02. The Securities Administrator shall be
entitled to recover from any Holder of the Residual Certificate that was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were
made all distributions made on the Residual Certificate. Any such
distributions so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be
distributed and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the prior
Holder of the Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(vii) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Securities Administrator,
based on information provided to the Securities Administrator by the
Servicer, will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the Persons
specified in Section 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to
compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of
residual interests to disqualified organizations. The expenses of the
Securities Administrator under this clause (vii) shall be reimbursable by
the Trust.
(viii) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate shall be
acquired by a Plan or any Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(g) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange
of Certificates of any Class, but the Securities Administrator may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to each, to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Securities Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator may require the
-97-
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar)
connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Servicer herein. By way of
illustration and not limitation, the Depositor is not liable for the servicing
and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 8.01 to
assume any obligations of the Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such
obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may,
but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in
accordance herewith.
Section 7.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a separate entity under the laws governing
its organization, 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, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the 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
(a) the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and (b) the
Servicer and such successor or surviving Person shall notify the Depositor and
the Securities Administrator of any such merger,
-98-
conversion or consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective
date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Securities Administrator
with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such
merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 7.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer
and Others. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or of the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Trust Estate or the Certificateholders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the 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 Servicer
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate 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
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither of the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Depositor or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Estate, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Servicer Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.11.
Section 7.04 Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.02, neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall resign
from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or, in the case of the Servicer, pursuant to Section 7.05. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator. No such resignation by the Servicer
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have
assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with
Section 8.05 hereof.
Section 7.05 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Servicer. The
Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations hereunder;
-99-
provided, however, that (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such
assignment or delegation is qualified to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac, is satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee, in the
exercise of its reasonable judgment, and executes and delivers to the Depositor
and the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Depositor and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such purchaser or
transferee of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer hereunder from and
after the date of such agreement; and (ii) each applicable Rating Agency's
rating of any Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale
or transfer is not reasonably likely as determined by the Depositor and the
Servicer to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such
assignment, sale or transfer and the Certificates are not reasonably likely as
determined by the Depositor and the Servicer to be placed on credit review
status by any such Rating Agency. In no case, however, shall any permitted
assignment and delegation relieve the Servicer of any liability to the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator or the Depositor under this Agreement, incurred by
it prior to the time that the conditions contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above
are met.
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Events of Default. If any one of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deposit amounts in the Servicer
Custodial Account in the amount and manner provided herein so as to enable the
Securities Administrator to distribute to Holders of Certificates any payment
required to be made under the terms of such Certificates and this Agreement
(other than the payments required to be made under Section 3.20) which continues
unremedied for a period of five days; or
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements
continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Servicer by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor,
or to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less
than 25% of all Certificates affected thereby; or
(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings against the
Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Servicer's affairs, and
the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or
-100-
similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to
substantially all of its property; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations; or
(e) the failure of the Servicer to remit any Periodic Advance
required to be remitted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20, which failure
continues unremedied at 12:00 noon on the related Distribution Date;
then, and in each and every such case (other than the Event of Default described
in clause (e) hereof), so long as an Event of Default shall not have been
remedied by the Servicer, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51% of all
Certificates affected thereby shall, by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer (and to the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement. If an Event of Default described in clause
(e) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Servicer, terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and proceeds thereof (other than the Servicer's right
to recovery of the aggregate Servicing Fees due prior to the date of termination
and other expenses and amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
which rights the Servicer will retain under all circumstances) and the Trustee
or a successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 shall make the
Advance which the Servicer failed to make. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 8.01, unless and until such time as the Trustee shall appoint a
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the 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 of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the recordation of the
assignments of the Mortgage Loans to it. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee or a successor Servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts
that have been deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer Custodial Account or
thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Upon
obtaining notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Person obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. All costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the
Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect
such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the
predecessor Servicer (unless the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, in which
event the previous Servicer shall be responsible for payment of such costs and
expenses so long as the transfer of servicing is not the result of an Event of
Default on the part of the Trustee in its capacity as the Servicer).
Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer pursuant hereto, the Servicer
shall remain liable for any causes of action arising out of any Event of Default
occurring prior to such termination.
-101-
Section 8.02 Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any
Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the
right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and
remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of
the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim
and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of
any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default.
Section 8.03 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders
of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (b) the
terminating of the Servicer or any successor Servicer from its rights and duties
as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and, provided further,
that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, based upon an
Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.
Section 8.04 Action upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and upon
Event of Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any failure of the
Servicer specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) which would become an Event of
Default upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall give notice
thereof to the Servicer. If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
Section 8.05 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Within 90
days after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 8.01, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.07, be the successor in
all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor
pursuant to Section 3.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto
agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will
assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make
-102-
Advances, (ii) the Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be
responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain
through reasonable efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision
of this Agreement be construed to require the Trustee (a) acting in its capacity
as successor to the Servicer in its obligation to make Advances, to advance,
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that such funds are non-recoverable, (b) to be liable for any losses
of the Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder,
(c) to be obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (d) to be obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of the Mortgage Loans hereunder or (e) to be obligated to perform any obligation
of the Servicer under Section 3.18 or Section 3.19 with respect to any period of
time during which the Trustee was not the Servicer. Subject to Section 8.05(b),
as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as
the terminated Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice
of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000 as the successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any such institution appointed
as successor Servicer shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency,
adversely affect the then current rating of any Class of Certificates
immediately prior to the termination of the terminated Servicer. The appointment
of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor
Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as
Servicer, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions
of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as provided above. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by
the predecessor Servicer (unless the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, in
which event the previous Servicer shall be responsible for payment of such costs
and expenses so long as the transfer of servicing is not the result of an Event
of Default on the part of the Trustee in its capacity as the predecessor
Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if
such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such
costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the
successor Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from the assets of the Trust).
(b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer or
the assumption of the duties of the Servicer, as specified in Section 8.05(a),
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of the payments on the Mortgage Loans serviced by the predecessor Servicer
as it and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee Rate.
(c) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i)
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and
-103-
(ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the
same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.03.
(d) The predecessor Servicer and successor Servicer shall notify the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and Trustee of any such appointment at
least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide
the Depositor and the Securities Administrator with all information required by
the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form
8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment.
Section 8.06 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
ARTICLE IX
THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator. (a) The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities
Administrator at all times, undertake to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator, respectively. In case an Event of Default has
occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise as a reasonably prudent investor would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any
act or omission of the Securities Administrator, it being understood and agreed
that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator are independent contractors
and not agents, partners or joint venturers.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own grossly
negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful
misfeasance; provided, however, that:
(i) With respect to the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default
which may have occurred, and with respect to the Securities Administrator
at all times, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be
-104-
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
Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator by the Depositor or the Servicer and which on their face, do
not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee (in its individual capacity) nor the
Securities Administrator (in its individual capacity) shall be personally
liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, unless it shall be proved that either
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, was
grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither the Trustee (in its individual capacity) nor the
Securities Administrator (in its individual capacity) shall be personally
liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Certificateholders
as provided in Section 8.03;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default
or an Event of Default under Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains
actual knowledge of such failure or event or any officer of the Trustee
receives written notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust
Office from the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or
any Certificateholder. The Securities Administrator shall not be charged
with knowledge of any default (other than a default in payment to the
Securities Administrator) or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Securities Administrator assigned to and working in the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or any
officer of the Securities Administrator receives written notice of such
failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Depositor or any Certificateholder; and
(v) No provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds (including,
without limitation, the making of any Advance as successor Servicer) or
otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and
rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any resolution, Officer's
-105-
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;
(ii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with
counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of Counsel;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
under the obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it
by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any
of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; however, subject to Section 9.01(b)(v),
nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) With respect to the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of
Default which may have occurred, and with respect to the Securities
Administrator at all times, neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, may
require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability or payment
of such estimated expenses as a condition to so proceeding; and
-106-
(vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may each execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys.
(vii) The right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to
perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its gross negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.
(viii) The relationship of the Securities Administrator (and of any
successor to the Securities Administrator as securities administrator
under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by
the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a
joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 9.03 Neither the Trustee Nor the Securities Administrator
Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in
the Certificates (other than the execution of, and the authentication of, the
Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or Servicer, as
applicable, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes the
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of
this Agreement or of the Certificates or any Mortgage Loans save that the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator represent that, assuming due execution
and delivery by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable insolvency, receivership,
moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to
general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of
whether enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law). Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of funds paid to the
Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans hereunder by
the Depositor, or for the use or application of any funds paid to Subservicers
or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited into the Servicer
Custodial Account, or any other account hereunder (other than the Certificate
Account) by the Servicer.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any
time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality,
validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the
perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders
under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition
and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any
hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or
omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); the validity of the assignment
of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the
completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any
Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the
Trustee as successor Servicer); the compliance by the Depositor or the
-107-
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; any
investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss
resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold
in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the
Trustee as successor Servicer), any Subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of
the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the
Trustee as successor Servicer) or any Subservicer taken in the name of the
Trust; the failure of the Servicer or any Subservicer to act or perform any
duties required of it as agent of the Trust hereunder; or any action by the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator taken at the instruction of the Servicer
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as
successor Servicer); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator of its obligation to perform its duties
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, review by the Trustee or
the Custodian of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02. The Trustee shall
file any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time
required to maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to
it hereunder.
Section 9.04 Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own
Certificates. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and may otherwise deal with the Servicer, any Subservicer or any
of their respective affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.
Section 9.05 Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee and Securities Administrator. The Trustee
and the Securities Administrator hereunder shall at all times be (a) an
institution the deposits of which are fully insured by the FDIC and (b) a
corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not
less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authority and (c) with respect to every successor trustee hereunder either
an institution (i) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated
at least "A" by both S&P and Fitch or (ii) whose serving as Trustee or
Securities Administrator hereunder would not result in the lowering of the
ratings originally assigned to any Class of Certificates. The Trustee shall not
be an affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer. If such corporation or banking
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 9.05, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or banking 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 or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provision of this Section 9.05, the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.06.
-108-
Section 9.06 Resignation and Removal of Trustee and the Securities
Administrator. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Servicer and mailing a copy of such notice to all Holders of
record. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall also
mail a copy of such notice of resignation to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to promptly
appoint a mutually acceptable successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator,
as the case may be. If no successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and appoint a successor trustee or
securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, by written instrument or instruments
delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable; the Servicer shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a
mutually acceptable successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case
may be, in accordance with this Section 9.06.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, and appointment of a successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section 9.06 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, as provided
in Section 9.07.
Section 9.07 Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any
successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section
9.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to its
predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall become effective
and such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be,
-109-
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, herein. The predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall
duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as the case may be, the whole of the Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, together with all
instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed as
may be reasonably required to effect such transfer and such of the records or
copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator
in the administration hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and shall thereupon be
discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement (other than
pursuant to Section 3.19 hereunder). All costs associated with the appointment
of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be paid to the Person
that incurred them by the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable. Without limiting the predecessor Trustee's or Securities
Administrator's obligation, if the predecessor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, fails to pay such costs, such costs shall be
reimbursed by the Trust; provided, however, that if the predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator has been terminated pursuant to the third paragraph of
Section 9.06, all reasonable expenses incurred in complying with this Section
9.07 shall be reimbursed by the Trust to the Person that incurred them.
No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 9.07 unless at the time of such
appointment such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, as provided in this Section 9.07, the Servicer
shall cooperate to mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, the successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall cause such notice
to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
The predecessor Trustee and successor Trustee shall notify the
Depositor of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior to the
effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor with all information
required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment. The
predecessor Securities Administrator and successor Securities Administrator
shall notify the Depositor of any such appointment at least two Business Days
prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor with all
information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such
appointment.
Section 9.08 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities
Administrator. Any corporation or banking association into which the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation or banking
-110-
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or
banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the
successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
hereunder, if such corporation or banking association is eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.05, 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 Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, and such surviving Person shall notify the
Depositor of any such merger, conversion or consolidation and shall provide the
Depositor with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective
date of such merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 9.09 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any Mortgaged
Property may at the time be located or for any other reason, the 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 as
co-trustee or separate trustee of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provision of this Section
9.09, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within ten days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, 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 9.05 and no notice to Holders
of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be required under Section 9.07. The compensation due any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be paid by the Servicer.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.09, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the 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 Trust Estate or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee. No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; provided, however, that no appointment
of a co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall relieve the Trustee of its
obligations hereunder.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its
-111-
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.
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 become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or co-trustee or of
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 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

without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

notice of resignation to the Securities Administrator and to the Servicer. The
Securities Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case, at any time any Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9.10, the Securities Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent,
shall give written notice of such appointment to the Servicer and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
-112-
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating
Agent.
Section 9.11 Securities Administrator's Fees and Expenses and
Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Securities Administrator, as compensation for
its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to investment income with respect to
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account. The Trustee, as compensation for
its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to a fee in an amount agreed upon
between the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, payable by the Securities
Administrator out of its own funds and not out of any funds of the Trust Estate.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator (including, in each case, in its
individual capacity) and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall be indemnified by the
Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable attorney's fees) (a) incurred in connection with any claim or legal
action relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, or (iii) the
performance of any of the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's, as the
case may be, duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's, as the
case may be, duties hereunder, (b) resulting from any tax or information return
which was prepared by, or should have been prepared by, the Servicer and (c)
arising out of the transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or Residual
Certificate not in compliance with ERISA. The provisions of this Section 9.11
relating to indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by
the Depositor and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, and except for
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's or the
Securities Administrator's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct,
the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section

services. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any
routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent hereunder or
for any other expenses.
Section 9.12 Appointment of Custodian. The Securities Administrator
is hereby appointed as Custodian for the purposes of this Agreement. If the
Securities Administrator is no longer acting as the Custodian hereunder, the
Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Servicer, appoint one or
more Custodians to replace the initial Custodian and shall cause such successor
Custodian to enter into a custodial agreement in a form acceptable to the
Depositor and the Servicer. In the event the Securities Administrator resigns as
Custodian, the successor Custodian shall be entitled to a fee payable by the
Securities Administrator in an amount agreed to between the successor Custodian
and the Securities Administrator. Subject to this Article IX, the Trustee agrees
to comply with the terms of each custodial agreement and to enforce the terms
and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to
supervision by federal or state authority,
-113-

shall cause such Custodian to prepare a separate assessment and attestation
report, as contemplated by Section 3.19 of this Agreement and deliver such
report to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22 of this
Agreement.
Section 9.13 Paying Agents. The Securities Administrator may appoint
one or more Paying Agents (each, a "Paying Agent") which shall be authorized to
act on behalf of the Securities Administrator in making withdrawals from the
Certificate Account and distributions to Certificateholders as provided in
Section 3.08 and Section 5.02. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to
the withdrawal from the Certificate Account by the Securities Administrator,
such reference shall be deemed to include such a withdrawal on behalf of the
Securities Administrator by a Paying Agent. Initially, the Paying Agent shall be
LaSalle Bank National Association. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement
to a distribution by the Securities Administrator or the furnishing of a
statement to Certificateholders by the Securities Administrator, such reference
shall be deemed to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the
Securities Administrator by a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to
the Securities Administrator such information concerning the Certificate Account
as the Securities Administrator shall request from time to time. Each Paying
Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer and must be a corporation or
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state, having (except in the case of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator) a principal office and place of business in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be
a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such
corporation after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or
succession meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 9.13.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee, Securities Administrator and to the Servicer;
provided that the Paying Agent has returned to the Certificate Account or
otherwise accounted, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Securities
Administrator, for all amounts it has withdrawn from the Certificate Account.
The Securities Administrator may, upon prior written approval of the Servicer,
at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Paying Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Paying Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first
paragraph of this Section 9.13, the Securities Administrator may appoint, upon
prior written approval of the Servicer, a successor Paying Agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment
-114-
to the Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders. Any successor Paying Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Paying Agent. The Securities Administrator shall remain liable for any
duties and obligations assumed by its appointed Paying Agent.
Section 9.14 Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed
by the Securities Administrator, not in its individual capacity but solely as
Securities Administrator of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings
and agreements made on the part of the Securities Administrator in the
Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by
the Securities Administrator but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Trust.
Section 9.15 Trustee or Securities Administrator May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this
Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator without the possession of any of the Certificates
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be
brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee or Securities
Administrator. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment
of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 9.16 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default or
other default by the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion, may proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Certificates under this Agreement by
a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the
rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 9.17 Waiver of Bond Requirement. The Trustee shall be
relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any
jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the
Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.
Section 9.18 Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement. The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.

TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination upon Purchase by the Depositor or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.02, the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the
Securities Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after
the Final Distribution Date and to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth
and the obligations of the Securities Administrator pursuant to Sections 5.04(b)
and 5.05(b)) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the
Securities Administrator on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article
X following the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Depositor of all Mortgage
Loans and all REO Property remaining in the Trust Estate at a price equal to the
sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other
than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired and whose fair
market value is included pursuant to clause (ii) below), (ii) the fair market
value of such REO Property, plus any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfall for any
Class of Certificates as well as one month's interest at the related Mortgage
Interest Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (including
any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired) and (iii) any
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.04 or (b) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate or the disposition of all REO
Property.
Regardless of the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust created
hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
The right of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans
is conditioned upon (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of such Final Distribution Date being less than 10% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance and (B) the sum of clauses (a)(i) and (ii)
of the second preceding paragraph being less than or equal to the aggregate fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO
Property has been acquired) and the REO Properties; provided, however, that this
clause (B) shall not apply to any purchase by the Depositor if, at the time of
the purchase, the Depositor is no longer subject to regulation by the OCC, the
FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the OTS. Fair market value for purposes of this
paragraph and the second preceding paragraph will be determined by the Depositor
as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date
upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders
pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Article X. If such right is exercised,
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, promptly
following payment of the purchase price, release to the Depositor or its
designee the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities
Administrator for payment of the final distribution
-116-
and for cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Depositor (if exercising
its right to purchase the assets of the Trust) or by the Securities
Administrator (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders mailed
promptly specifying (1) the Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (2) the
amount of any such final payment and (3) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the Securities Administrator therein specified. If the Depositor is obligated to
give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the
Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice
is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the
Depositor, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or before
the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to
the amount necessary to make the amount, if any, on deposit in the Certificate
Account on the Final Distribution Date equal to the purchase price for the
related assets of the Trust computed as above provided together with a statement
as to the amount to be distributed on each Class of Certificates pursuant to the
next succeeding paragraph. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the
Final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor
of the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust and the
Depositor shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Account not later than
the Business Day preceding the Final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class,
in the order set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, on the Final Distribution Date
and 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
Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest
thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and as to the Class 1-A-R
Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit (or are deemed to
remain on deposit) in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account, the Middle-Tier
Certificate Sub-Account and the Certificate Account, respectively (other than
the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i)
above.
If all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates
for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate
Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders of such
Group to continue to be held by the Securities Administrator in an Eligible
Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders and the Depositor (if it
exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or the
Securities Administrator (in any other case) shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such Eligible
Account.

Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) If the
Depositor exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will
not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the
Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause the Trust Estate to
fail to qualify as three separate REMICs at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Depositor under Section 10.01, the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Estate to the Depositor for cash; and
(ii) the notice given by the Depositor or the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Section 10.01 shall provide that such notice
constitutes the adopting of a plan of complete liquidation of the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as of the
date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which such notice was
mailed to Certificateholders). The Securities Administrator shall also
specify such date in the final tax returns of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.
(b) By its acceptance of the Residual Certificate, the Holder
thereof hereby agrees to take such other action in connection with such plan of
complete liquidation as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any
ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or
therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement,
any amendment to this Agreement or the related Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any
REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Estate,
provided that (a) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action is necessary or desirable to
maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any such tax and (b) such action shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, (iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the
Certificate Account (and deemed deposits into the Upper-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account), provided, that (a) such change shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Certificateholder and (b) such change shall not adversely affect the
then-current rating of the Senior Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the
Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates,
the
-118-
Class B-5 Certificates or the Class B-6 Certificates as evidenced by a letter
from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates to such effect, (v) to reduce
the percentage of the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance at which the
Depositor will have the option to purchase all the remaining Mortgage Loans in
accordance with Section 10.01, provided that such reduction is considered
necessary by the Depositor, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to preserve the treatment of
the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by the Seller or to the
Trust by the Depositor as sale for accounting purposes, and (vi) to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, provided that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no
Opinion of Counsel to that effect 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.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class of Certificates which is
affected by such amendment, evidencing, as to each such Class of Certificates,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3%, 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 such Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Mortgage Loans or distributions which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (B) reduce
the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then Outstanding.
Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in
connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall
furnish the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such amendment would not subject any of the Upper-Tier REMIC,
Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to any tax or cause any of the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received such Opinion of
Counsel.
Any amendment under this Section shall be a separate written
agreement executed by all parties hereunder that expressly amends this
Agreement. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the
Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of
or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and to each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 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
-119-
consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Securities Administrator may prescribe.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement is subject to

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
Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Securities Administrator, who
will act at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
50% of all Voting Rights, but only upon direction of the Securities
Administrator accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust,
nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything

and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby
shall have made written request upon the Securities Administrator to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Securities Administrator
hereunder and shall have offered to the Securities Administrator such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Securities Administrator, for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood
and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator, that no one or
more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement
to affect, disturb or prejudice
-120-
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce
any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the

such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of
such applicants' request, the Securities Administrator shall promptly request
from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall
afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding such list, agrees
with the Certificate Registrar and the Securities Administrator that neither the
Certificate Registrar nor the Securities Administrator shall be held accountable
by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.
Section 11.09 Recharacterization. The parties to this Agreement
intend the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement to
constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that such conveyance is held not to constitute a sale under
applicable law, it is intended that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans.
Section 11.10 Insolvency. The Servicer, Depositor, Securities
Administrator and Trustee shall each notify the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator of any of the events enumerated in Item 1.03 of Form 8-K with
respect to such party upon the occurrence thereof and shall provide the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator with all information required by the
Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 1.03 of Form 8-K
promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day) after the occurrence of
such event.
Section 11.11 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of Parties;
Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets,
-122-
advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agree to use its commercially reasonably
efforts to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery
of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations
of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Depositor to
deliver to the Depositor (including its assignees or designees), any and all
statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information available
to such party and reasonably necessary in the good faith determination of the
Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, reasonably believed by the
Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
-123-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by
their respective officers thereunto duly authorized to be hereunto affixed, all
as of the day and year first above written.

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Banc of America Mortgage 20[__]-[__] Trust Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (collectively, the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing 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 and Securities Administrator are not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to any liability under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the
interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties
evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and
Securities Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a
distribution will be made on the 20th day of each calendar month (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) (each, a "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 required pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing 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.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute
out of the Certificate Account to each Certificateholder of record on the
related Record Date (other than respecting the final distribution) (a) by wire
transfer, upon written request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate, or (b) by
check mailed to such Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on
such Distribution Date at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or
by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Securities
Administrator shall agree upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in
the amount to which the related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance
with the priorities set forth in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate to the
Securities Administrator as contemplated by Section 10.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Securities Administrator and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the
requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance, the Depositor
will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The 10% may be reduced by an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
without Certificateholder consent under certain conditions set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that no such optional repurchase
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Pooling and
Servicing 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 or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and
the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date thereof.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed.

Code of 1986.

District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially
confined to banking and is supervised by the state or territorial
banking commission or similar official or is a foreign bank or

$25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial

more than 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred
Certificates in the case of a U.S. bank, and not more than 18 months
preceding such date of sale in the case of a foreign bank or
equivalent institution.
___ Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan
association, building and loan association, cooperative bank,
homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised
and examined by a state or federal authority having supervision over
any such institutions, or is a foreign savings and loan association
or equivalent institute and (b) has an audited net worth of at least
$25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial

not more than 18 months preceding such date of sale in the case of a
foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution.

meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.
___ Investment Advisor. The Transferee is an investment advisor
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
___ Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a
cross-reference to the paragraph and subparagraph under
subsection (a)(1) of Rule 144A pursuant to which it qualifies.
Note that registered investment companies should complete Annex 2
rather than this Annex 1.)
3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part
of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee
is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan
participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to

include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned
and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used
the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the
Yes No Transferred Certificates only for the
Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case
where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or
before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:
1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a
person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the
entity purchasing the Transferred Certificates (the "Transferee") or, if the
Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule

Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an
executive officer of the investment adviser (the "Adviser").
2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule
144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the

owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee's Family of
Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the
excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most
recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned
by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the cost
of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at

owned in the aggregate $__________________ in securities (other than
the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the
Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated
in accordance with Rule 144A).
3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or
more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).
4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee's
Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities
owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by
the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in
this paragraph were excluded.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.
____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the
Yes No Transferred Certificates only for the
Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case
where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such
notice, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred Certificates will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the
date of such purchase.

National Association, as Securities Administrator and U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to
you, as Securities Administrator, that:
1. Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Certificates for its own
account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in
connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner
which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or
any applicable state securities laws.
2. Transferee understands that (a) the Transferred Certificates have not

under any applicable state securities laws, (b) neither the Depositor nor the
Securities Administrator is obligated so to register or qualify the Transferred

issued in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof may be resold or transferred
unless such resale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of

with the 1933 Act and laws, in which case (i) unless the transfer is made in
reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws or is being made pursuant to the 1933
Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor and (ii) the Securities Administrator
shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as Exhibit G-1 and a certificate from such Certificateholder's
prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and

3. The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer
the Transferred Certificates, any security issued in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof or any interest in the foregoing except in compliance with the
provisions of Section 6.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which
provisions it has carefully reviewed, and that the Transferred Certificates will
bear legends substantially to the following effect:
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"). ANY RESALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE
WITHOUT REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE 1933 ACT MAY ONLY BE MADE IN A

SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR SIMILAR LAW AND WILL NOT SUBJECT THE
DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR OR THE TRUSTEE TO
ANY OBLIGATION IN ADDITION TO THOSE UNDERTAKEN IN THE POOLING AND
SERVICING AGREEMENT. EACH PERSON WHO ACQUIRES THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THE REPRESENTATIONS REQUIRED
BY THE REPRESENTATION LETTER REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE UNLESS

ADMINISTRATOR. THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ANY
ATTEMPTED OR PURPORTED TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THESE TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS WILL BE NULL AND VOID AND WILL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY
PURPORTED TRANSFEREE.
4. Neither the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered,

any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any

security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by
means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other
action, that (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through
(e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Transferred Certificates under
the 1933 Act, would render the disposition of the Transferred Certificates a
violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or any state securities law or would
require registration or qualification of the Transferred Certificates pursuant
thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized nor will it
authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence
with respect to the Transferred Certificates, any interest in the Transferred
Certificates or any other similar security.
5. The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a)
the Depositor, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c)
nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Pooling and

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______________________________, the
proposed transferee (the "Transferee") of the Class 1-A-R Certificate (the
"Residual Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated [________], 20[__], (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced
Series, by and among Banc of America Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor

Residual Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee
or agent for another Person who is a Permitted Transferee and has attached
hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this

the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of

4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record Holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that, other than in the case of an "electing large partnership"
under Section 775 of the Code, such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record Holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record Holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)

Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of the
Residual Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a transfer affidavit in the form of
this Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to transfer the
Residual Certificate, and in connection with any transfer by a Person for whom
the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will
not transfer the Residual Certificate or cause the Residual Certificate to be
transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee.
7. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have become due.
8. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Residual
Certificate.
9. The taxpayer identification number of the Transferee's nominee is
___________.
10. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
11. The Transferee is aware that the Residual Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
12. The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to
be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other
person.
13. If the Transferee is purchasing the Residual Certificate in a transfer
intended to meet the safe harbor provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections

including an individual retirement account, subject to ERISA, the Code or any
federal, state or local law which is similar to ERISA or the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or arrangement.

employees or agents shall be under any liability 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
