CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Retention of Obligation to
Fund Advances Under Credit Line Agreements.
(a) As of the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuing Entity's
delivery of the Notes and the Residual Certificates to the Seller, and
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller does
hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to
the Depositor, without recourse, and the Depositor does hereby sell, transfer,
assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuing Entity,
without recourse, in trust, all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans. Such conveyance includes, without limitation, (i) each Initial
Mortgage Loan, including its Principal Balance (including the right to purchase
any Additional Balances related thereto) and all collections in respect thereof
received after the Initial Cut-Off Date (excluding interest collections due on
or prior to the Initial Cut-Off Date); (ii) each Subsequent Mortgage Loan
(including any Additional Balances related thereto) and all collections in
respect thereof received after the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date (excluding
interest collections due on or prior to such related Subsequent Cut-Off Date);
(iii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that is acquired by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) the Originator's rights under the Insurance
Policies; (v) the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Pre-Funding
Accounts and the Payment Account; and (vii) any proceeds of the foregoing and
any other property owned by the Trust and all other assets included or to be
included in the Issuing Entity for the benefit of Noteholders and the Residual
Certificateholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, neither of the Indenture Trustee nor the
Issuing Entity assumes or shall assume the obligation under any Credit Line
Agreement that provides for the funding of Draws to the Mortgagor thereunder,
and neither of the Issuing Entity nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated
or permitted to fund any such Draws. With respect to the Mortgage Loans,
Additional Balances shall be part of the related Principal Balance and are
hereby transferred to the Issuing Entity on the Closing Date pursuant to this
Section 2.01(a), and are therefore part of the Trust Estate. The Indenture
Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it
has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit and use of the Securityholders and for the purposes and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with
such receipt, the Issuing Entity has issued and delivered the Securities to or
upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Estate.
(b) The Seller and Depositor hereby agree that as consideration for
each Additional Balance, the Issuing Entity shall direct and hereby directs the
Servicer to fund such Additional Balances in an amount equal to the Purchase
Price therefore. Each Additional Balance shall first be funded from the Group I
Principal Remittance Amount or the Group II Principal Remittance Amount, as
applicable, on deposit on any day in the Collection Account. To the extent that
the Purchase Price for any Additional Balance exceeds the Group I Principal
Remittance Amount or the Group II Principal Remittance Amount, as applicable, on
deposit in the Collection Account on such day, the Servicer shall fund the
difference of such Additional Balance from its own funds by depositing such
amount into the Reserve Account and deliver to the Holder of the Class G
Certificates an Advance Notice including the aggregate amount of such Additional
Balance Advance Amount. The Holder of the Class G Certificate, by accepting such
Certificate, hereby agrees to reimburse the Servicer for such Additional Balance
Advance Amount. In the event that the Holder of the Class G Certificate is not
an Affiliate of the Servicer, the Holder of the Class G Certificate shall make
an advance to the Trust in the amount specified in such Advance Notice by
depositing such amount into the Reserve Account. The Indenture Trustee shall
cause such amount to be remitted from the Reserve Account to the Servicer on the
following Payment Date. The Class Principal Balance of the Class G Certificates
will be increased by the amount of any such Additional Balance Advance Amounts.
(c) It is agreed and understood by the Seller, the Depositor and the
Issuing Entity (and the Depositor so represents and recognizes) that it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Estate be (i) a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico
Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home
Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act
effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the
Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005.
(d) In connection with such transfers and assignments of the Mortgage
Loans, the Seller shall deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered
to and deposited with, the Indenture Trustee, and/or the Custodian acting on the
Indenture Trustee's behalf, the following documents or instruments with respect
to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned on or before the Closing Date
with respect to each Initial Mortgage Loans and on or before the related
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Credit Line Agreement;
(ii) if such Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, an original
Assignment of Mortgage in blank;
(iii) (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original
recorded Mortgage or, if in connection with such Mortgage Loan, the
original recorded Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon cannot be
delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by
the public recording office where such original Mortgage has been
delivered for recordation or because such original Mortgage has been
lost, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Custodian, a true and correct copy of such Mortgage, together with (i)
in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, a
certification of the Originator, title company, escrow agent or closing
attorney stating that such original Mortgage has been dispatched to the
appropriate public recording official or (ii) in the case of an
original Mortgage that has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate
county recording office where such Mortgage is recorded, and (B) if
such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage,
noting the presence of the "Mortgage Identification Number" of such
MERS Mortgage Loan;
(iv) if such Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, if applicable, the
original Intervening Assignments, if any, with evidence of recording
thereon, showing a complete chain of title to the related Mortgage from
the Mortgagor to the related Originator (and endorsed in blank in
accordance with clause (ii) above) or, if any such original Intervening
Assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office
or has been lost, a true and correct copy thereof, together with (i) in
the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, a
certification of the Originator, title company, escrow agent or closing
attorney stating that such original Intervening Assignment has been
dispatched to the appropriate public recording official for recordation
or (ii) in the case of an original Intervening Assignment that has been
lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where
such Mortgage is recorded;
(v) either a Title Insurance Policy or guaranty title with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property;
(vi) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with such Mortgage
Loan;
(vii) the original of each assumption, modification, consolidation or
substitution agreement, if any, relating to such Mortgage Loan; and
(viii) any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent instrument
executed in connection with the related Mortgage.
(e) (i) Upon the occurrence of a Recordation Event, the Originator shall
submit to the appropriate recording offices Assignments of Mortgage to
the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which may be blanket
assignments if permitted by applicable law, for the Mortgage Loans. In
lieu of recording any such Assignments of Mortgage, the Originator may
provide to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that
recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage in the state where the related
Mortgaged Property is located is not necessary to protect the interests
of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders in
the related Mortgage. In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage
is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Originator shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage
or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Originator
shall submit each such Assignment of Mortgage for recording.
(ii) With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, at the
expense of the Seller, take such actions as are necessary to cause the
Indenture Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by
MERS.
(iii) In instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered
to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee under clause (d)(v) above and is not so delivered, the Seller
shall provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Indenture
Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as
promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, but in
any case within 180 days of the Closing Date.
(f) For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the
Initial Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in
lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee, an Officer's Certificate which shall include a statement to
the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment
that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 4.02(e) have been so deposited. All original documents that are
not delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the
benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders.
Section 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Issuing Entity
acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets
included in the Trust Estate and has directed that the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of "Trust Estate"
be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian) on its behalf.
The Indenture Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges
receipt by it of or the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining
to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Indenture Trustee, or
by the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, under this Section 2.02.
The Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee,
shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit A-1. The Initial Certification shall be amended and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to Depositor, the Servicer
and the Indenture Trustee upon each Subsequent Transfer Date.
(b) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall, for the benefit of
Noteholders, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents
set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain
the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee an
Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 to the effect
that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than
any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such
certification as not covered by such certification) (i) all of the applicable
documents required by Section 2.01(d)(i)-(v) and, to the extent actually
provided to it, the documents in Section 2.01(d)(vi)-(vii) are in its possession
and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such
Mortgage Loan. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine
whether the documents in Section 2.01(d)(vi) and (vii) exist. The Indenture
Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall determine
whether such documents are executed and with respect to the Intervening
Assignments, endorsed (as specified in Section 2.01(d)(iv)), but shall be under
no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid,
binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face and makes no representations as to the collectability, insurability,
priority or perfection of such Mortgage Loans. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor
any Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the
legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any
party or endorser.
(c) If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian discovers any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular
on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically
altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, as applicable (each, a "Material Defect"), the Indenture
Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, upon discovering
such Material Defect shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such
Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to each of the
Depositor and the Servicer and give notice thereof to the Originator and the
Seller. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Originator shall cure
such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Originator shall provide the
Indenture Trustee with an Officer's Certificate confirming that such cure has
been effected). If the Originator does not so cure such Material Defect, the
Originator shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at
the Loan Purchase Price. The Originator in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.04. The failure
of the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein
within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Originator
of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02
or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage
Loans from the Trust Estate.
(d) Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee,
or the Custodian, shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A-3
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control,
with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an
assumption by the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian or the
Noteholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage
Loan or to any Mortgagor.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodian shall perform the applicable
review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided
in this Section 2.02.
Section 2.03. Grant Clause.
(a) It is intended that the conveyance by the Seller to the Depositor
and by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans, as provided for in
Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the
Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for the benefit of the
Securityholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed
to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and by the
Depositor to the Issuing Entity to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller or the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held
to be property of the Depositor or the Seller or if for any reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans
and other assets in the Trust Estate, then it is intended that (a) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or other applicable UCC if not the New
York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to
be (1) a grant by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the
Issuing Entity of a security interest in all of the Depositor's or the Seller's,
as applicable, right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans and Mortgage Files, including the Credit Line Agreements, the Mortgages,
any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage
Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the terms thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising
from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all
Insurance Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Certificate Account, the Payment
Account and the Pre-Funding Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Seller to the
Depositor and by Depositor to the Issuing Entity of any security interest in any
and all of the Depositor's or Seller's, as applicable, right (including the
power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses
(1)(A) through (D); (c) the possession by the Indenture Trustee or any other
agent of the Issuer of Credit Line Agreements, and such other items of property
as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or
a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and any other applicable UCC and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuing Entity for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
(b) The Seller and, at the Seller's direction, the Issuing Entity
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the
Trust Estate, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security
interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and deliver to the Issuing Entity, and
the Issuing Entity shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for
filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC to perfect the
Issuing Entity's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans as evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by
(1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity (such
preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Owner Trustee, if
occasioned by a change in the Owner Trustee's name), (2) any change of location
of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the
Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in
any Mortgage Loan.
None of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity shall organize
under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is
organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of
organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30
days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate
transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each
of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity proposing to change its
jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing
office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the
perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including
the Indenture Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, each of the
Seller, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity authorizes its immediate or mediate
transferee, including the Indenture Trustee (who shall not be obligated to make
such filing), to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any
amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other
statements or filings described in this Section 2.03(b).
(c) Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall take any action
inconsistent with the sale by the Seller and Depositor of all of its right,
title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and shall indicate or shall cause
to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that ownership of
each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Trust is held by the Issuing
Entity. In addition, the Seller shall respond to any inquiries from third
parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other property of
the Trust Estate by stating that it is not the owner of such Mortgage Loan and
that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of the Trust Estate is
held by the Issuing Entity on behalf of the Securityholders.
Section 2.04. Further Encumbrance of Trust Estate.
(a) Immediately upon the conveyance to the Issuing Entity by the
Depositor of any item of property in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 2.01,
all right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to such item of property
in the Trust Estate shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest
shall vest in the Issuing Entity, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and
Sections 3802 and 3805 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (12 Del. Code, ss.
3801 et seq.).
(b) Immediately upon the vesting of the Trust Estate in the Trust, the
Issuing Entity shall have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber such
Trust Estate. Pursuant to the Indenture and contemporaneously with such property
vesting in the Issuing Entity pursuant to (a) above, the Issuing Entity shall
grant a security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the repayment of the
Secured Obligations. The Residual Certificates shall represent the beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Estate, and the Residual Certificateholders
shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect thereto as set forth
herein and in the Indenture and Trust Agreement.
Section 2.05. Conveyance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.05 and in Section 2.01, in consideration of the Indenture Trustee's
delivery on a Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Depositor of
amounts in the Group I Pre-Funding Account and the Group II Pre-Funding Account
equal to aggregate Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of the Group I Subsequent
Mortgage Loans and the Group II Subsequent Mortgage Loans, respectively, to be

without recourse and pursuant to the terms of the related Subsequent Transfer
Agreement all of its right, title and interest in and to such Subsequent
Mortgage Loans (including its Principal Balance and any Additional Balances

Subsequent Cut-Off Date for such Subsequent Mortgage Loans (excluding payments
in respect of accrued interest due prior to the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date)
or, with respect to any Additional Balances with respect thereto, on or after
the date of transfer to the Trust. Future advances made to a Mortgagor under a
Credit Line Agreement relating to a Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall be part of
the related Principal Balance and transferred to the Trust pursuant to this
Section 2.05, and, therefore, part of the Trust Property upon the sale thereof
to the Depositor under the Purchase Agreement.
(b) On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall
withdraw from the Group I Pre-Funding Account or the Group II Pre-Funding
Account funds in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate

Entity on such Subsequent Transfer Date and shall remit such cash to the

continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any

Loan and has deposited such amount in the Collection Account or (iii)

Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and receipt by
the Servicer of any applicable Substitution Amount in the Collection Account, as
certified to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer), shall release or cause to
be released and reassign to the Depositor, the Seller or the Originator as

Loan Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of,
as to each such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Principal Balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on
such Principal Balance at the applicable Loan Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Amount, if any,
(c) As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Originator shall (i) with respect to a

Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to
cause the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Issuing Entity) to be clearly
identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if
required pursuant to Section 2.01(c). The Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee) shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter,
review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor,
the Originator, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, with respect to such
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Indenture Trustee

Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly
payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month
of substitution are not part of REMIC 1 and shall be retained by the Originator.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Securityholders shall reflect
the Monthly payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date
in the month of substitution, and the Originator shall thereafter be entitled to
retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
BY THE SERVICER
Section 4.01. The Servicer. (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to
act as agent for the Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service,
administer and make collections on the Mortgage Loans and perform the other
actions under this Agreement. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with (i) the terms of this Agreement and
(ii) collection procedures it follows with respect to home equity loans in its
servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans, and shall have full power
and authority, acting alone or through a subservicer, to do any and all things
in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary
or desirable, it being understood, however, that the Servicer shall at all times
remain responsible to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Residual Certificateholders the performance of its duties and obligations
hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. The Servicer hereby confirms its
obligation, as Servicer, to fund future advances to the Mortgagors pursuant to
the Credit Line Agreements and, to the extent it has an interest therein, hereby
sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Issuing Entity
the Additional Balances so created. It is the intention of the Servicer that the
transfer of the Additional Balances to the Issuing Entity shall constitute a
sale, but in the event that the transfer is held not to be a sale, this
Agreement shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the Additional
Balances, and the proceeds thereof, for the benefit of the Issuing Entity. Any
amounts received by any subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be
deemed to have been received by the Servicer whether or not actually received by
it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties and to make deposits to and withdrawals from the
Collection Account. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall, upon the
written request of a Servicing Officer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder and consistent with
the Indenture Trustee's internal policies. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable for the Servicer's use or misuse of such powers of attorney. The Servicer
in such capacity may also consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of any
Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that
(i) such Mortgage succeeded to a first lien position after the related
Mortgage Loan was conveyed to the Trust and, immediately following the
placement of such senior lien, such Mortgage is in a second lien
position and the outstanding principal amount of the mortgage loan
secured by such subsequent senior lien is no greater than the
outstanding principal amount of the senior mortgage loan secured by the
Mortgaged Property as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was
originated; or
(ii) the Mortgage relating to such Mortgage Loan was in a second lien
position as of the Cut-Off Date and the new senior lien secures a
mortgage loan that refinances an existing first mortgage loan and the
outstanding principal amount of the replacement first mortgage loan
immediately following such refinancing is not greater than the
outstanding principal amount of such existing first mortgage loan at
the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan;
provided, further, that such senior lien does not secure a note that provides
for negative amortization.
The Servicer may also, without prior approval from the Rating Agencies,
increase the Credit Limits on Mortgage Loans provided that (i) new appraisals
are obtained and the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios of the Mortgage Loans after
giving effect to such increase are less than or equal to the Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratios of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and (ii) such
increases are consistent with the Servicer's credit and collection policies. No
material change or departure from the Servicer's credit and collection policies
with respect to any Mortgage Loans as in effect as of the Closing Date shall be
permitted.
In addition, the Servicer may agree to changes in the terms of a
Mortgage Loan at the request of the Mortgagor; provided that (i) such changes do
not materially and adversely affect the interests of Noteholders or the Residual
Certificateholders and (ii) such changes are consistent with collection
procedures followed by the Servicer with respect to home equity loans in its
servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by a
certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Indenture Trustee.
In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer may solicit Mortgagors to
change any other terms of the related Mortgage Loans; provided that such changes
(i) do not materially and adversely affect the interest of Noteholders, (ii) are
consistent with collection procedures followed by the Servicer with respect to
home equity loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans,
as evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and (iii) do not adjust the maturity date of such Mortgage
Loan past the date that is six months before the Final Scheduled Payment Date of
the Notes. The Servicer shall not solicit Mortgagors with respect to new loans
(including mortgage loans) that are not Mortgage Loans nor convey information
concerning Mortgagors to any Person for such purpose; provided, however, that
advertising directed to the general public, statement messages not targeted
specifically to the Mortgagors, website messages not targeted specifically to
the Mortgagors and voice response unit messages not targeted specifically to the
Mortgagors shall not constitute solicitations for purposes of this paragraph.
The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer
as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trust 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.
(b) In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the
Servicer are terminated hereunder, any successor to the Servicer in its sole
discretion may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the
existing subservicer arrangements with any subservicer, without charge, or
assume the terminated Servicer's rights under such subservicing arrangements
which termination or assumption will not violate the terms of such arrangements.
Section 4.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments;
Remittances.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to home equity loans in its
servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the
foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any assumption fees
or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such
Mortgage Loans and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of
interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is consistent with
collection procedures followed by the Servicer with respect to home equity loans
in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans; provided, further,
that notwithstanding such arrangement such Mortgage Loans will be included in
the information regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans set forth in the Servicing
Certificate and monthly statement to Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.01.
(b) On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall open and shall thereafter
maintain a segregated account held in trust in the name of the Securities
Intermediary (the "Collection Account"), entitled "[______________], as
indenture trustee, in trust for Holders of the [_____________], Asset-Backed
Notes, Series [____]." The Collection Account shall relate solely to the
Securities issued by the Issuing Entity, and funds in such Collection Account
shall not be commingled with any other monies.
(c) The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing
Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall
establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 10 days
and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing
Collection Account into such new Collection Account.
(d) The Servicer shall give to the Indenture Trustee prior written
notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the
Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection
Account. The Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the
depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account in
the name of the Indenture Trustee in trust for the Noteholders under this
Agreement. On each Servicer Remittance Date, the entire amount on deposit in the
Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans (subject to permitted
withdrawals set forth in Section 4.03), other than amounts not included in the
Servicer Remittance Amount for such Payment Date, shall be remitted to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account by wire transfer in
immediately available funds.
(e) The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account within two
Business Days following receipt thereof the following payments and collections
received or made by it (without duplication):
(i) all collections on and in respect of the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) the amounts, if any, deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 4.04;
(iii) Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) Insurance Proceeds (including, for this purpose, any amount required to
be credited by the Servicer pursuant to the last sentence of Section
3.04 and excluding the portion thereof, if any, that has been applied
to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the normal
servicing procedures of the Servicer);
(v) any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.01;
(vi) the Loan Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the
Originator and any Substitution Amount relating to any Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof;
provided, however, that with respect to each Collection Period, the Servicer
shall be permitted to retain from payments in respect of interest on the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee for such Collection Period. The foregoing
requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the
nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental fees and
charges relating to the Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by the Servicer in
the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer or the applicable
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.
(f) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Servicer, which
shall mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next Deposit Date and
any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the
Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders. All income and gain realized from any Eligible Investment shall
be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or
order from time to time, subject to Section 6.01, and shall not be part of the
Trust Estate. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by the Servicer out of
its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as
realized.
Section 4.03. Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Servicer
may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the
Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances made by it; such right to
reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited to amounts
received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan (including, for
this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance
Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage)
it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the
Servicer's or Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of
the Securityholders;
(ii) to reimburse itself from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses
and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.06 in good faith
in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the
extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Loan Rate less
the applicable Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan to the Due
Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation
Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid
assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the
related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as
additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of
any such reimbursement or payment, that the Servicer's right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;
(iii) pay to the Depositor, the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect
thereof that has been purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts
received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related
repurchase was effected, and to pay to the applicable Person any
Servicing Advances to the extent specified in the definition of Loan
Purchase Price;
(iv) subject to Section 7.01, to pay to itself income earned on the
investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) on each Servicer Remittance Date, to make payment to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account of the Servicer Remittance
Amount for the related Payment Date;
(vi) to make payment to itself, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, the
Administrator, the Credit Risk Manager and others pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (including Section 6.03), the Indenture or
the Administration Agreement;
(vii) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(viii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Article VIII;
(ix) to reimburse a successor Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor
Servicer), for any fee, expense or advance occasioned by a termination
of the Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Indenture
Trustee or a successor Servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section 7.01, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by
the terminated Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such
reimbursement or payment, that the right of such successor Servicer or
the Indenture Trustee to be reimbursed thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Securityholders.
In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii) and
(iv) above, the Servicer's, or such other Person's entitlement thereto is
limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The
Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each
Mortgage Loan it services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclause (i), (ii) and iv).
On each Servicer Remittance Date the Servicer shall withdraw the
Servicer Remittance Amount for the related Payment Date and remit such amount to
the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account.
Section 4.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
hazard insurance naming the Servicer or its successors or assigns as loss payee
thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan from time to time or (ii) the combined Principal Balance owing on
such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan from time
to time. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure,
or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property or (ii)
the combined Principal Balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan
senior to such Mortgage Loan at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Servicer of
related Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts
collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the
Collection Account. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a
federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the
related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance. All such flood insurance
shall be in such amounts as are required under applicable guidelines of the
Federal Flood Emergency Act. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to
require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and
shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans it
shall (a) conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth
in the first sentence of this Section 4.04 and (b) if there shall have been a
loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection
Account without right of reimbursement, as the case may be, the amount not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of any deductible clause.
Section 4.05. Assumption and Modification Agreements. In any case in
which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Servicer shall exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of such
Mortgage Loan consistent with the then current practice of the Servicer and
without regard to the inclusion of such Mortgage Loan in the Trust. If it elects
not to enforce its right to accelerate or if it is prevented from doing so by
applicable law, the Servicer (so long as such action conforms with the
underwriting standards generally acceptable in the industry at the time for new
origination) is authorized 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
Credit Line Agreement and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture
Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been completed by
delivering to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer certifying that such agreement is in compliance with this
Section 4.05 and by forwarding to the Custodian the original copy of such
assumption and modification agreement. Any such assumption and modification
agreement shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the related Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. No change in the terms of the related Credit Line Agreement may be
made by the Servicer in connection with any such assumption to the extent that
such change would not be permitted to be made in respect of the original Credit
Line Agreement pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 4.01(a). Any fee
collected by the Servicer for entering into any such agreement will be retained
by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 4.06. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Transfer or
Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come
into and continue in default when, in the opinion of the Servicer based upon the
practices and procedures referred to in the following sentence, no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 4.02; provided, that if the Servicer has knowledge or reasonably
believes that any Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or
substances or that the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property would not be
commercially reasonable, then the Servicer will not cause the Trust to acquire
title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow
such practices (including, in the case of any default on a related senior
mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and procedures as
it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the proviso
that the Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation Expenses or otherwise expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the correction of
any default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any property
unless it shall determine that such expenditure will increase Net Liquidation
Proceeds.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Trust.
(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more
Delinquent, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the option to
transfer the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to a special servicer; provided
that any such special servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction
or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies as
evidenced in writing by a letter from each Rating Agency. Upon the transfer of
servicing to the special servicer, the special servicer shall thereupon assume
in writing all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising
thereafter with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer shall have no
further rights or obligations hereunder, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The
special servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation
accruing after the servicing transfers to the special servicer with respect to
such Mortgage Loans.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is 90 or more days
Delinquent, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, may (but is not obligated to)
purchase from the Trust any such Mortgage Loan. If it elects to make any such
purchase, the Servicer shall purchase such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a
price equal to the Loan Purchase Price.
(d) In the event the Issuing Entity acquires ownership of any REO
Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be issued to the Issuing Entity on behalf of the Securityholders. The Servicer
shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property as expeditiously
as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but in all
events prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the
Issuing Entity unless the Indenture Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Issuing Entity of such
REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC created under the
Trust Agreement as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC
created thereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Notes or
Class C Certificates are Outstanding, in which case the Issuing Entity may
continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such
Opinion of Counsel and the other requirements of this Section 4.06). Pursuant to
its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall protect and conserve
such REO Property for the Securityholders in such manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such property is located. The decision of the
Servicer to foreclose, or to continue the foreclosure process, on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the
related Mortgaged Property will not fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would more likely than not exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding and liquidating the REO Property expected to be obtained
through such foreclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Issuing Entity shall be rented (or allowed
to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or
on behalf of the Issuing Entity 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 under the Trust Agreement to the imposition of any federal,
state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property,
unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Estate with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
(e) The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all funds
collected and received by it in connection with the operation of any REO
Property in the Collection Account.
(f) The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall
be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from
Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such
REO Property; provided, that (without limitation of any other right of
reimbursement that the Servicer shall have hereunder) any such unreimbursed
Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or
paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental
income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.
(g) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be
deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the
month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account on
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date.
(h) If the Servicer determines that no significant recovery is possible
through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property
related to a Mortgage Loan for which the payments due thereon are past due, it
shall charge off the related Mortgage Loan at such time as such Mortgage Loan
becomes 270 days past due. Once a Mortgage Loan becomes a Charged-Off Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall discontinue making Advances, the Servicer shall not be
entitled to any additional servicing compensation, the Charged-Off Mortgage Loan
will give rise to a Realized Loss, and the Servicer shall follow the procedures
set forth in this paragraph. Any Charged-Off Mortgage Loans shall continue to be
serviced by Servicer for the Issuing Entity using non-foreclosure collection
procedures. The Servicer shall not be entitled to any Servicing Fees or
reimbursement of expenses in connection with such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans
except to the extent of funds available from the aggregate amount of recoveries
on such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans which shall be paid to the Servicer to
reimburse it for previously accrued Servicing Fees on any such Charged-Off
Mortgage Loans. Any Charged-Off Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer using
non-foreclosure collection procedures shall be so serviced until the Release
Date described below. Any recoveries on such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans (net of
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees) received prior to the Release Date will be
treated as Liquidation Proceeds and included in Available Funds.
On the date (the "Release Date") which is six months after the date on
which the Servicer begins servicing any Charged-Off Mortgage Loan using the
non-foreclosure procedures, unless specific recoveries are anticipated by the
Servicer on a particular Charged-Off Mortgage Loan (in which case the Release
Date will be delayed until all such specific anticipated recoveries are
received, subject to the consent of the Issuing Entity), such Charged-Off
Mortgage Loan will be released from the Trust and the lien of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if at any time after a Mortgage Loan has
been charged off, the Servicer determines that there will not be any recoveries
on such Charged-Off Mortgage Loan under any circumstances, the Servicer may
release such Charged-Off Mortgage Loan to the Issuing Entity. Promptly following
each Release Date with respect to any Charged-Off Mortgage Loan, the Indenture
Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Servicer, shall release
to the Issuing Entity the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the Servicer shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to remove such
Released Loan from the trust and any lien thereon created by the Indenture and
the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall have no
responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its
intended purpose).
Section 4.07. Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. On or before each Payment
Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, of
the payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loan during the
preceding Collection Period, which notification shall be by a certification
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02 have been so deposited or
credited) of a Servicing Officer. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is
authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 4.01,
if the assignments of Mortgage have been recorded as required hereunder, an
instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and
be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer
shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian is holding the Mortgage Files, from time to
time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
or in connection with the payment in full of the Principal Balance of any
Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as appropriate, shall,
upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee and, if
applicable, the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable, signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer (at the
Servicer's expense) and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall
execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall be
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other
servicing actions. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the
Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as appropriate, when
the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be
released by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.
In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any
Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the Assignment of
Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, shall, if so requested in writing by the Servicer, execute
an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Indenture Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, by the Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of collection to the Servicer or to the related subservicer (any such
assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose
of collection only), and, upon such assignment, the Servicer will thereupon
bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of
the Mortgage Loan and deposit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive of
Foreclosure Profits, received with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In
the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid
by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured, then the Servicer shall,
within two Business Days, reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust, and return the related Mortgage File to the place where
it was being maintained. After such reassignment, the Servicer, if requested by
such Residual Certificateholders and if offered suitable indemnification and
reimbursement for expenses, is authorized to seek a deficiency judgment if
permitted by law against the Mortgagor under such Liquidated Mortgage Loan on
behalf of the Residual Certificateholders to the extent of any losses on
liquidation of any Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.08. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by
Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee pursuant
to Section 4.02(c) or 4.03 as compensation for its services in connection with
servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, additional servicing compensation in the
form of income and gain from any investment of funds in the Collection Account,
late payment charges, early termination fees or other receipts not required to
be deposited in the Collection Account (other than Foreclosure Profits) shall be
retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of
all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account
of the Noteholders and the Residual Certificateholders) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Liquidation Expenses are reimbursable to the Servicer solely from related
Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
(a) The Servicer will deliver to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and
the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to the Credit Enhancer, not later than
February 28 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officer's Certificate
(an "Annual Statement of Compliance") stating, as to each signatory thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding
calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable
servicing agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable
servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, 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 of
cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no
restrictions or limitations on its use. In the event that the Servicer has
delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a
subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance
by that subservicer to the Indenture Trustee as described above as and when
required with respect to the Servicer.
(b) If the Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of
Compliance by February 28th of such year, the Indenture Trustee, at its sole
option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Annual
Statement of Compliance, but in no event later than March 10th of such year.
(c) Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 4.09
shall be deemed a Servicing Default, and the Indenture Trustee may, in addition
to whatever rights the Indenture Trustee may have under this Agreement and at
law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. This paragraph
shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to
the contrary..
Section 4.10. Annual Servicing Report. Assessments of Compliance and
Attestation Reports. On and after January 1, 2006, the Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements
of the Servicing Criteria. Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange
Act and Item 1123 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Credit Enhancer and each
Rating Agency on or before February 28 of each calendar year beginning in 2007,
a report regarding the Servicer's assessment of compliance (an "Assessment of
Compliance") with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The
Assessment of Compliance must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, and as set forth in Regulation AB, the Assessment of Compliance must
contain the following:
(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(b) A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing
Criteria attached as Exhibit J hereto, and which will also be attached to the
Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to the Servicer;
(c) An assessment by such officer of the Servicer's compliance with the
applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding
calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance
with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the
activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type
as the Mortgage Loans;
(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on the Servicer's Assessment of Compliance for the period
consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not
applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria
specified on Exhibit J hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Servicer.
On or before February 28 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the
Servicer shall furnish to the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the
Depositor, the Credit Enhancer and each Rating Agency a report (an "Attestation
Report") by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on,
the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18
and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which
Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation
reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The Servicer shall cause any subservicer, and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be "participating in the servicing function"
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Credit Enhancer and each
Rating Agency an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when
provided above.
Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any subservicer, shall at a
minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit J hereto
which are indicated as applicable to any "primary servicer." Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required
to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the
Trust Fund.
If the Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Report by February 28th of such year, the Indenture Trustee, at its
sole option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such
Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March
10th of such year.
Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 4.10
shall be deemed a Servicing Default, and the Indenture Trustee may, in addition
to whatever rights the Indenture Trustee may have under this Agreement and at
law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. This paragraph
shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to
the contrary.
The Indenture Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance
and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum
address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit J hereto which are
indicated as applicable to the "indenture trustee" or "securities
administrator." In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to
deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance
and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum
address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit J hereto which are
indicated as applicable to a "custodian." Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any Custodian, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
Section 4.11. Reserved.
Section 4.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, any
Noteholders that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office
of Thrift Supervision, successor to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the FDIC
and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift Supervision
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator
of the SAIF or the BIF), such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer. Nothing in this Section 4.12 shall derogate from the obligation of the
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section 4.12 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 4.12.
(b) The Servicer shall supply the Servicing Certificate required by
Section 4.17 and such other information in such form as the Indenture Trustee
shall reasonably request to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent, on
or before the start of the Determination Date preceding the related Payment
Date, as is required in the Indenture Trustee's reasonable judgment to enable
the Note Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, to make
required distributions and to furnish the required reports to the Noteholders
and the Class C Certificateholders.
(c) The Servicer shall provide to the Class C Certificateholders access
to all documentation relating to the Mortgage Loans within the Servicer's
possession upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the
offices of the Servicer.
Section 4.13. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Insurance Policies. The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the
"Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad
coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees, or
other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall be in the form of the
Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure
the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any
insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.13 requiring the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy 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 the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation in the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's
Seller/Servicer's Guide. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee (who is under no
duty to make such request), the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors and
omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that
such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no event
be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice
to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.14. Information Required by the Internal Revenue Service
Generally and Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall prepare and deliver all federal and state information reports
when and as required by all applicable state and federal income tax laws. In
particular, with respect to the requirement under Section 6050J of the Code to
the effect that the Servicer shall make reports of foreclosures and abandonments
of any mortgaged property for each year beginning in 2006, the Servicer shall
file reports relating to each instance occurring during the previous calendar
year in which the Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trust acquires an interest in
any Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in
full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan, or (ii) knows or has reason to
know that any Mortgaged Property has been abandoned. The reports from the
Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Section 6050J.
Section 4.15. Reserved.
Section 4.16. Matters Relating to MERS Loans.
The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trust and the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, in
its own name or in the name of the subservicer, when the Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS
System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or
re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trust
and its successors and assigns.
In connection with the sale and assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan by
the Depositor to the Issuing Entity, the Depositor agrees that it will cause, at
the Depositor's expense, the MERS System to indicate that a security interest in
such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to Issuing Entity and
from the Issuing Entity to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the
Indenture for the benefit of Securityholders by including (or deleting, in the
case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement)
in such computer files the information required by the MERS System to identify
the series of the Notes issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Seller or the
Servicer to, and the Seller and the Servicer agree that they will not, alter the
information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan
during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time
pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06 the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS System the Seller (or
any party indicated by the Seller) as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer
hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee if
the Indenture Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and
warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply
in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii)
the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer either (x)
in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trust and to execute and deliver
such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or
desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such
Mortgage Loan on the MERS System to the successor Servicer or (y) in causing
MERS to designate on the MERS System the successor Servicer as the servicer of
such Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.17. Servicing Certificate. Not later than seven (7) Business
Days prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee, a certificate ( the "Servicing Certificate") in written form or in the
form of computer readable media or such other form as may be agreed to by the
Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, together with an Officer's Certificate to
the effect that such Servicing Certificate is true and correct in all material
respects, stating the related Collection Period, the Payment Date, the series
number of the Notes, the date of this Agreement, and:
(i) the aggregate amount of collections received on the Mortgage Loans on
or prior to the Determination Date in respect of such Collection
Period;
(ii) the aggregate amount of (a) Interest Remittance Amount and (b)
Principal Remittance Amount for such Collection Period;
(iii) the Principal Remittance Amount for such Payment Date, separately
stating the components thereof;
(iv) any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees for previous Collection Periods
and the Servicing Fee for such Collection Period;
(v) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans and the
Group II Mortgage Loans as of the end of the preceding Collection
Period and as of the end of the second preceding Collection Period;
(vi) the aggregate amount of Additional Balances created during the previous
Collection Period;
(vii) the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans (A) as to
which the Minimum Monthly Payment is delinquent for 30-59 days, 60-89
days, 90-119 days, 120-149 days, 150-179 days and 180 or more days
respectively and (B) that have become REO, in each case as of the end
of the preceding Collection Period; (C) as to which foreclosure
proceedings have been commenced, and (D) in bankruptcy and delinquent
as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
preceding such Payment Date;
(viii) (A) cumulative losses as a percentage of the sum of the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Original
Pre-Funded Amounts, and (B) cumulative losses as a percentage of
current Pool Balance;
(ix) the book value of any real estate which is acquired by the Trust
through foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure;
(x) the amount of any servicing advances made by the Servicer during the
related Collection Period;
(xi) the amount, if any, of any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred
during the related Collection Period;
(xii) the number and Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loans purchased by the
Originator from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.04; and
(xiii) any other information that the Indenture Trustee may require to perform
its duties under the Operative Documents.
In addition, on the Servicing Certificates delivered in each month
during the Pre-Funding Period, the Servicer shall also indicate (i) the amount
on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts as of such Payment Date and (ii) the
aggregate of the Principal Balance of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans purchased
during the related Collection Period.
The Indenture Trustee shall conclusively rely upon the information
contained in a Servicing Certificate for purposes of making distributions
pursuant to Article V hereof and in preparing the statements required by Section
5.09, shall have no duty to recompute, recalculate, verify or inquire into such
information and shall have no liability in so relying. The format and content of
the Servicing Certificate may be modified by the mutual agreement of the
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall give notice of any such
change to the Rating Agencies.
Section 4.18. Loan Data Remittance Report. On the seventh day before
each Payment Date (the "Loan Data Remittance Date") by noon Eastern Standard
time, the Servicer shall furnish a report (the "Loan Data Remittance Report") in
the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee by
electronic medium as agreed to by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.19. Intention of the Parties and Interpretation. Each of the
parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 4.09 and 4.10 of
this Agreement is to facilitate compliance with the provisions of Regulation AB
promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. xx.xx. 229.1100 -
229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to clarification
and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the SEC from time to
time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that
purpose, (b) the parties' obligations hereunder will be supplemented and
modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive
advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the
asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of
the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests
made by the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor for delivery of additional or
different information as the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor may determine in
good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d)
no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in
the parties' obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB.
ARTICLE V
DEPOSITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS
Section 5.01. The Pre-Funding Accounts.
(a) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself two
separate, non-interest bearing trust accounts entitled "[_______________], as
Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of [_______________],
Asset-Backed Notes, Series [___]" (the "Group I Pre-Funding Account") and
"[_______________], as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of
[_______________], Asset-Backed Notes, Series [___]" (the "Group II Pre-Funding
Account", and together with the Group I Pre-Funding Account, the "Pre-Funding
Accounts"). Each Pre-Funding Account shall be an Eligible Account.
(b) The Depositor may cause the institution maintaining the Pre-Funding
Accounts to invest any funds in the Pre-Funding Accounts in Eligible Investments
which shall mature or otherwise be available not later than the Business Day
next preceding the Payment Date or, with the approval of the Rating Agencies, on
the Payment Date next following the date of such investment (except that any
investment in an obligation of the institution with which the Pre-Funding
Account is maintained may mature on or before 12:00 noon, New York time, on such
Payment Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. At any
time when the Indenture Trustee is maintaining the Pre-Funding Accounts, any
request by the Depositor to invest funds on deposit in either Pre-Funding
Account shall be in writing, shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee at or
before 10:30 a.m., New York time, if such investment is to be made on such day,
and shall certify that the requested investment is an Eligible Investment which
matures at or prior to the time required hereby. Any such investment shall be
registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee, as trustee hereunder or in the
name of its nominee, and to the extent such investments are certificated they
shall be maintained in the possession of the Indenture Trustee. All income and
gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the
Depositor. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of the principal amount
of any such investment shall be deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts by the
Depositor out of its own funds immediately as realized. Any investment earnings
on the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be treated as owned by the Depositor for
federal and state income tax purposes.
(c) On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee (as instructed by the
Depositor) will deposit into the Group I Pre-Funding Account and the Group II
Pre-Funding Account from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, on behalf of the
Noteholders, the Original Group I Pre-Funded Amount and the Original Group II
Pre-Funded Amount, respectively.
(d) On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Depositor shall instruct the
Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Accounts an amount equal to
100% of the aggregate Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
transferred to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to
or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 2.05 of this Agreement with respect to such transfer.
(e) If (x) the Original Pre-Funded Amounts have not been reduced to
zero by the Payment Date occurring in December 2005 or (y) the Original
Pre-Funded Amounts have been reduced to $10,000 or less on any Payment Date
occurring during the Pre-Funding Period, in either case after giving effect to
any reductions in the Original Pre-Funded Amounts on or before such Payment
Date, the Depositor shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the
Pre-Funding Accounts and deposit to the Payment Account the difference, if any,
between (A) the Original Pre-Funded Amounts and (B) all amounts theretofore
withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Accounts with respect to Subsequent Mortgage
Loans.
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall have not obligation to invest and
reinvest any cash held in the Pre-Funding Accounts in the absence of timely and
specific written investment directions from the Depositor. In no event shall the
Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment
losses incurred thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in
respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment
prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Depositor to provide timely
written investment direction.
Section 5.02. The Payment Account.
(a) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of
the Securities Intermediary a separate, non-interest bearing trust account (the
"Payment Account") entitled "[_______________], in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of [_______________], Asset-Backed Notes, Series [___]." The Payment
Account shall be an Eligible Account. If the existing Payment Account ceases to
be an Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee shall establish a new Payment
Account that is an Eligible Account within 10 Business Days and transfer all
funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Payment Account into
such new Payment Account. The Payment Account shall relate solely to the Notes
issued hereunder and funds in the Payment Account shall be held separate and
apart from and shall not be commingled with any other monies including, without
limitation, other monies of the Indenture Trustee held under this Agreement. The
Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Payment Account only for the
following purposes:
(i) to pay such amounts required to paid pursuant to Section 5.03 of this
Agreement;
(ii) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Payment Account in error; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Payment Account pursuant to Article VIII.
(b) The Indenture Trustee may (but is not obligated to) invest, or
cause to be invested, funds held in the Payment Account in Eligible Investments
(which may be obligations of the Indenture Trustee). All such investments must
be payable on demand or mature no later than three Business Days prior to the
next Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.
All such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee
(in its capacity as such) or its nominee. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee for

Section 5.04. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, a separate, non-interest bearing trust
account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, [_______________], as
Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of [_______________],
Asset-Backed Notes, Series [____]."
(b) On each Payment Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount payable to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee has been directed by the
Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount,
rather than distributing such amounts to the Certificate Paying Agent for
distribution to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of
the Notes, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate
Notes in the amounts and priorities set forth below.
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class C
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to
the Holders of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the
Notes, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall be released by the Indenture Trustee and distributed to the
Certificate Paying Agent for distribution to the Class C Certificateholders or
their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the
Trust Estate but not part of any REMIC created pursuant to the Indenture and any
payments to the Holders of the Notes of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not
be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning
of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder
hereby agrees to direct the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee hereby
is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the
amounts described above on each Payment Date as to which there is any Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
(e) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Holders of the Class A Notes to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be
assigned a value of zero. Further, for federal tax return and information
reporting, the right of the Holders of the Subordinate Notes to receive payments
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount may be obtained from the Indenture Trustee upon request. Such
information will be provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Underwriter on or
prior to the Closing Date.
(f) All amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Carryover Reserve Account
shall remain uninvested. On each Payment Date, after making the distributions of
Available Funds as set forth in Section 5.03 above, the Indenture Trustee shall
withdraw from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of
amounts remaining on deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount for such Payment Date and pay such amount as follows:
(i) concurrently to each Class of Class A Notes, the related
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, on a PRO RATA basis based on such
respective Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts;
(ii) sequentially, to the Class M-1 Notes, the Class M-2
Notes, the Class M-3 Notes. the Class M-4 Notes, the Class M-5 Notes,
the Class M-6 Notes, the Class M-7 Notes, the Class M-8 Notes, the
Class M-9 Notes, the Class M-10 Notes, the Class M-11 Notes, the Class
B-1 Notes and the Class B-2 Notes, in that order, the related Net WAC
Carryover Amount for such Class for such Payment Date.
Section 5.05. The Reserve Account.
(a) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of
the Securities Intermediary a separate, non-interest bearing trust account (the
"Reserve Account") entitled "Reserve Account, [_______________], as Indenture
Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of [_______________],
Asset-Backed Notes, Series [____]." The Reserve Account shall be an Eligible
Account.
(b) If the existing Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Account,
the Indenture Trustee shall establish a new Reserve Account that is an Eligible
Account within 10 Business Days and transfer all funds and investment property
on deposit in such existing Reserve Account into such new Reserve Account. The
Reserve Account shall relate solely to the Securities and funds therein shall be
held separate and apart from and shall not be commingled with any other monies
including, without limitation, other monies of the Indenture Trustee held under
this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Reserve
Account only for the following purposes:
(i) to pay such amounts in respect of Additional Balance
Advance Amounts pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of this Agreement;
(ii) to pay such amounts required to paid pursuant to Section
3.11 of the Trust Agreement; and
(iii) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Reserve Account in
error.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may (but is not obligated to) invest, or
cause to be invested, funds held in the Reserve Account in Eligible Investments
(which may be obligations of the Indenture Trustee). All such investments must
be payable on demand or mature no later than one Business Day prior to the next
Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All
such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in
its capacity as such) or its nominee. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee for
deposit in the Reserve Account out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. All income and gain realized
from any such investment shall be compensation to the Indenture Trustee and
shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time.
Section 5.06. Allocation of Realized Losses, Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.
(a) On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine
as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property the total amount of Realized Losses,
if any, incurred during the related Collection Period. The information described
in the preceding sentence that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee by the
Servicer on the Loan Data Remittance Date immediately following the end of the
Collection Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred. On each
Payment Date the Indenture Trustee shall calculate (i) the amount by which the
Interest Remittance Amount for such Payment Date exceeds the sum of the Monthly
Interest Payable Amounts due on each Class of Notes for such Payment Date (such
excess, the "Excess Interest" for such Payment Date) and (ii) the amount, if
any, by which the total amount of Realized Losses for the related Determination
Date as supplied by the Servicer exceeded the Excess Interest for such Payment
Date (such amount the "Excess Losses" for such Payment Date).
(b) On each Payment Date the Indenture Trustee shall allocate an amount
equal to the product of (i) the Excess Losses for such Payment Date and (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class G Certificates and the denominator of which is the sum of aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes and the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class G
Certificates, to reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
G Certificates until such Certificate Principal Balance is zero. If on any
Payment Date (i) the Excess Losses for such Payment Date minus that amount
allocated to the Class G Certificates pursuant to the previous sentence exceeds
(ii) the Overcollateralized Amount for such Payment Date after all payments
pursuant to Section 5.02 have been made (such excess the "Undercollateralized
Amount") the Indenture Trustee shall allocate such Undercollateralized Amount in
the following order: first, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class B-2 Notes,
until the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, second, to reduce
the Note Balance of the Class B-1 Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class
has been reduced to zero, third, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-11
Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, fourth, to
reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-10 Notes, until the Note Balance of such
Class has been reduced to zero, fifth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class
M-9 Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, sixth,
to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-8 Notes, until the Note Balance of
such Class has been reduced to zero, seventh, to reduce the Note Balance of the
Class M-7 Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero,
eighth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-6 Notes, until the Note
Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, ninth, to reduce the Note
Balance of the Class M-5 Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has been
reduced to zero, tenth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-4 Notes, until
the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, eleventh, to reduce the
Note Balance of the Class M-3 Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has
been reduced to zero, twelfth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-2
Notes, until the Note Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero and
thirteenth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class M-1 Notes, until the Note
Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero. All references in this clause
(b) to the Note Balance of any Class of Notes or the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class G Certificates shall be to the Note Balance and Certificate
Principal Balance following payments made on the relevant Payment Date but
before reduction thereof pursuant to this Section 5.06.
(c) On each Payment Date, Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred
during the related Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated in the following order of priority: first, to reduce the Monthly
Interest Payable Amount otherwise due to the Class C Certificates until zero,
and thereafter, to reduce the Monthly Interest Payable Amounts with respect to
each class of Notes on a PRO RATA basis based on the respective amounts of
interest accrued on such notes for such Payment Date.
Section 5.07. The Certificate Account.
(a) The Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
shall establish and maintain in the name of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders an account (the "Certificate Account") entitled "Certificate
Account, [_____________], as Owner Trustee, in trust for the holders of
[_____________] Residual Certificates."
(b) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the
Payment Account all amounts required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Sections 5.03(X)(iii) and (vi) and remit such amount to the Owner
Trustee or the Administrator for deposit into the Certificate Account. On each
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute all amounts on deposit in
the Certificate Account to the Certificateholders in respect of the Residual
Certificates as provided in the Trust Agreement. On the Payment Date on which
the Note Balance is reduced to zero, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Account to the
Certificateholders in respect of the Residual Certificates in order to clear and
terminate the Certificate Account in connection with the termination of this
Agreement.
(c) All distributions made on the Residual Certificates shall be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such
Certificateholders. The final distribution on the Residual Certificates will be
made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Residual
Certificates at the location specified in the notice to the Certificateholders
of such final distribution.
(d) The Indenture Trustee may (but is under no obligation to) invest,
or cause to be invested, funds held in the Certificate Account in Eligible
Investments (which may be obligations of the Indenture Trustee). All such
investments must be payable on demand or mature no later than one Business Day
prior to the next Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
their maturity. All such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the
Indenture Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be paid by the
Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account out of its own funds,
without any right of reimbursement therefore, immediately as realized. All
income and gain realized from any such investment shall be compensation to the
Indenture Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to
time.

endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the
Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any
Trust Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary's
customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such
other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the
Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Securities
Intermediary or such other institution has Control;
(c) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust

property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Trust Account shall be
registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the
Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case (x) will
any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Issuing Entity, payable to the order of the Depositor or

any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary
shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the
Depositor, the Issuing Entity or any other Person. If at any time the Indenture

to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such
Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other
Person;
(f) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently
obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any
Trust Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to
the security interest of the Indenture Trustee. The Financial Assets credited to
the Trust Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or
any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee (except
that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in
respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and
operation of the Trust Accounts and (ii) the face amount of any checks which
have been credited to any Trust Account but are subsequently returned unpaid
because of uncollected or insufficient funds);
(g) There are no other agreements (other than the Operative Agreements)
entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the
Depositor or the Issuing Entity with respect to any Trust Account. In the event
of any conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and
any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail;
(h) The rights and powers granted under the Indenture and herein to the
Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in
the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets
credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be
affected by the bankruptcy of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity nor by the
lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall
continue in effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the
Trust Accounts, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity,
as applicable, has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in
writing; and
(i) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositor and
the Issuing Entity agree that the Trust Accounts will be established only with
the Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the requirements of
this Section 5.08, which by acceptance of its appointment as Securities
Intermediary agrees substantially as follows: (1) it will comply with
Entitlement Orders related to the Trust Accounts issued by the Indenture
Trustee, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor or the
Issuing Entity as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor;
(2) until termination of the Issuing Entity or discharge of the Indenture, it
will not enter into any other agreement related to such accounts pursuant to
which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the
Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent with respect to the Trust Accounts; and
(3) all assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such accounts and
all investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable account.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Entity shall have the
power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer to make withdrawals and distributions from the Trust Accounts for the
purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its
respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its
duties under the Indenture.
(k) Each of the Depositor and the Issuing Entity agrees to take or
cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to
be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments
(including, without limitation, any financing statements under the UCC or this
Agreement) as may be necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section
5.08 in favor of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee and otherwise
fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section 5.08. The
Depositor shall:
(i) promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements,
amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and
other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such
other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the
perfection of the Issuing Entity's and the Indenture Trustee's security
interest in the Trust Account Property; and
(ii) make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments
thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name or its
jurisdiction of organization; (2) any change in the location of its
chief executive office or principal place of business; and (3) any
merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate
structure and promptly notify the Issuing Entity and the Indenture
Trustee of any such filings.
(iii) Neither the Depositor nor the Issuing Entity shall organize under the
law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is
organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of
organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without
giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and
mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting
such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity proposing to
change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the
appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements
necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate
and mediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Trust
Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Agreements relating to the Trust Account Property, each
of the Depositor and the Issuing Entity authorizes its immediate or
mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee (who shall be under
no obligation to make such filings), to file in any filing office any
initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements,
any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings
described in this Section 5.08.
None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the
Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders for any action taken, or not taken, in
good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary
against any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary's willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or
duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary
shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or
content of such document. The Issuing Entity shall indemnify the Securities
Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has
been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

(b) Upon the reasonable advance written request of any Securityholder
that is a savings and loan, bank or insurance company, which request, if

where relevant reports or summaries are required elsewhere in this Agreement.

Servicer, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Noteholders or
Residual Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement,
or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations
and warranties made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the
Servicer for a breach of its servicing under this Agreement or against liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or

disregard of obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer and
any director or officer or employee or agent of 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 Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be entitled to be
indemnified by the Issuing Entity, in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof and
shall be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Notes, other
than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
(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 its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, breach of
representations and warranties made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Servicer for a breach of its servicing under this Agreement or

disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not

Agreement, and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Noteholders and Residual Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Issuing Entity and the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 4.03.
The Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03
shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising
prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred
prior to such resignation or termination).
The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Credit Risk Manager shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund
against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Credit Risk Manager, including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in
the ordinary course of its appointment as Credit Risk Manager or its performance
of its duties as such) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action or
any pending or threatened claim or legal action relating to this Agreement, the
Credit Risk Management Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer's obligations
and duties under the this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreement for
which the Credit Risk Manager will be indemnified by the Servicer under the
Credit Risk Management Agreement or (ii) incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties under the
Credit Risk Manager Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties thereunder. Any payment to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this
Section 6.03 shall be prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders.
Section 6.04. Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the
Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee in writing
and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Depositor
and the Indenture Trustee; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a
letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor
servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as
Servicer hereunder will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal
of the then current rating of the Notes; provided, however, that no such
resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee
or successor servicer designated by the Servicer as provided above shall have
assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the
Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with
Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of
responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 6.06, 7.01 and
7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to
clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall have no claim (whether by
subrogation or otherwise) or other action against any Noteholder or Residual
Certificateholder for any amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement.
Section 6.05. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business,
the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person,
including any of its Affiliates, or any subservicer referred to in Section 4.01,
who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to
those with which the Servicer complies pursuant to Section 4.01. Such delegation
shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with
respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning
of Section 6.04.
Section 6.06. Indemnification of the Trust by the Servicer. The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Seller, the Trust,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any loss,
liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of the
Servicer's activities or omissions in servicing or administering the Mortgage
Loans that are not in accordance with this Agreement or breach of
representations and warranties made herein, including, but not limited to, any
judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and other
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or
threatened action, proceeding or claim. The Issuing Entity shall pay the
expenses and provide the protections and indemnities to the Indenture Trustee
provided for in Section 6.07 of the Indenture, it being intended that, wherever
in such Section 6.07 reference is made "to the extent provided in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement," this Agreement so provides. The provisions of this
indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject
to the limitations hereof. The provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
Section 6.07. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor. None of the
directors or officers or employees or agents of the Depositor shall be under any
liability to the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the
Noteholders or the Residual Certificateholders, it being expressly understood
that all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and
as consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and the issuance of the
Notes; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or breach of representations and warranties
made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on such Person in the
performance of the duties hereunder. The Depositor shall not be under any
liability to the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the
Noteholders or the Residual Certificateholders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in its capacity as Depositor pursuant
to this Agreement whether arising from express or implied duties under this
Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or
by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The
Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor 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.
Section 6.08. The Credit Risk Manager. For and on behalf of the
Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations
concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans. Such reports and
recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk
Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk
Manager shall look solely to the Servicer for all information and data
(including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the
appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Indenture Trustee, if it has
been notified in writing of such termination or appointment, shall give written
notice thereof to the Servicer and the Depositor.
If the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 66 2/3% of the Note
Balance of the Notes request in writing to the Indenture Trustee to terminate
the Credit Risk Manager under this Agreement, the Credit Risk Manager shall be
removed pursuant to this Section 6.08. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its
removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk
Manager.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF SERVICER TERMINATION
Section 7.01. Events of Servicing Termination. If any one of the
following events ("Events of Servicing Termination") shall occur and be
continuing:
(i) Any failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account or
Payment Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day
after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer
and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing more than
25% of the Note Balance of the Notes; or
(ii) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any
covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in the Notes or in
this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of
thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 25% of the
Principal Balance of the Notes;
(iii) The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a court or
agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of
any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
consecutive days; or
(iv) The consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a trustee,
conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship,
receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or 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;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Servicing
Termination shall not have been remedied by the Servicer, either the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the outstanding Note
Balance of the Notes by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Indenture Trustee if given by the Holders of Notes) may terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any
such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency and the
Class C Certificateholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of an Event of Servicing Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, or has received written notice thereof.
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
Notes or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without
limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer and the Seller, 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 each
Mortgage Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer to be
deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by the Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with amending this
Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01
shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses. If such costs and expenses are not
paid by the predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, such costs shall be
paid out of the Trust Estate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance
under Section 7.01(i) for a period of one Business Day or under Section 7.01(ii)
for a period of thirty (30) days, shall not constitute an Event of Servicing
Termination if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of
reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an
event of FORCE MAJEURE, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder,
rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes,
earthquakes or floods. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer
from using its best efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely
manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall
provide the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and the Noteholders and Residual
Certificateholders with an Officer's Certificate giving prompt notice of such
failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform
its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee in
writing of any Events of Servicing Termination.
Section 7.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns pursuant to Section 6.04, the Indenture
Trustee shall 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 and
shall use the same degree of care and skill as is required of the Servicer under
this Agreement; provided, however, if the Indenture Trustee becomes the Servicer
hereunder, it shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) of repurchase or
substitution with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (ii) with respect to any
representation or warranty of the Servicer, and (iii) for any liabilities, act
or omission of either a predecessor or successor Servicer other than the
Indenture Trustee. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee will be entitled to compensation with respect to its expenses
in connection with conversion of certain information, documents and record
keeping, as provided in Section 6.07 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the
above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer,
or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture
Trustee may appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage
loan or home equity loan servicer with all licenses and permits required to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and having a net worth of not less
than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of
all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder; provided that that the appointment of any such successor Servicer
will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings
assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor
to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law
from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor
shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in
an amount equal to not more than the compensation which the Servicer would
otherwise have received pursuant to Section 4.08. The Indenture Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Noteholders and
the Residual Certificateholders and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies
of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees
and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
4.13. 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 (including, without limitation, any deductible under an
Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 4.04), nor shall any successor Servicer be
liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach
by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein.
Section 7.03. Notification to Noteholders and Residual
Certificateholders. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicing Termination of
which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or
written notice (or any event that with the lapse of time would become an Event
of Servicing Termination unless cured), the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
notify the Owner Trustee in writing. Upon any termination or appointment of a
successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 4.04, the
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders,
Residual Certificateholders (at their respective addresses appearing in the Note
Register and in the Certificate Register) and each Rating Agency.
Section 7.04. Additional Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Event of
Servicer Termination. During the continuance of any Event of Servicer
Termination, so long as such Event of Servicer Termination shall not have been
remedied, the Indenture Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section
7.01, shall have the right, in its own name and 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 Securityholders (including the institution and
prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the
filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this
Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or
omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy
or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Servicer Termination.
Section 7.05. Waiver of Defaults. The Majority Securityholders may, on
behalf of all Securityholders, waive any default or Event of Servicer
Termination by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder,
except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Payment
Account or the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of the
Indenture Trustee to make any required payment of principal of or interest on
the Securities may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected
Securityholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Servicer Termination arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 7.06. Directions by Securityholders and Duties of Indenture
Trustee During Event of Servicer Termination. During the continuance of any
Event of Servicer Termination, the Majority Securityholders may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee, or exercising any Issuing Entity or power conferred upon the
Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture
Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Servicer or any successor Servicer from its rights and duties as Servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of the Majority Securityholders,
unless such Majority Securityholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the cost, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further,
that, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel,
determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken
or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is
not indemnified to its satisfaction.
Section 7.07. Action Upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and Upon
Event of Servicer Termination. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge or written notice of any action or
inaction of the Servicer that would become an Event of Servicer Termination upon
the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Indenture Trustee
shall give notice thereof to the Servicer.
Section 7.08. Preparation of Reports.
(a) Within 10 days after each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall, in accordance with industry standards customary for securities similar to
the Securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), file with the
Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a
Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to the Securityholders for such Payment
Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2006, the Indenture Trustee
shall, in accordance with industry standards applicable to the Securities, file
a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Issuing Entity, if
applicable. Prior to March 31, 2006, the Indenture Trustee shall file (but will
not execute) a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards
applicable to the Securities, with respect to the Issuing Entity. The Form 10-K
shall include the certification in the form set forth in Exhibit G required
pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Form 10-K Certification") signed by an appropriate party or
parties designated by the Depositor (which Form 10-K Certification the Indenture
Trustee shall not be required to sign). The Indenture Trustee shall prepare such
Form 10-K and provide the Depositor with such Form 10-K not later than March
20th of each year in which a Form 10-K shall be filed. Following its receipt
thereof, the Depositor shall execute such Form 10-K and provide the original of
such Form 10-K to the Indenture Trustee not later than March 25th (or, if the
applicable March 25th is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day)
of each year; provided, however, that if the filing of such Form 10-K shall be
required to occur on a date earlier than March 30th of each year as may be
required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, then the time periods for preparation and execution of such
Form 10-K set forth in this sentence shall be adjusted accordingly. Such Form
10-K when filed shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 4.09 and the accountant's report described
under Section 4.10 in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to
the Indenture Trustee.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any delay in
filing the Form 10-K due to the failure of such party to timely sign the Form
10-K or Form 10-K Certification. The Depositor hereby grants to the Indenture
Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on
behalf of the Depositor (other than the Form 10-K and the related Form 10-K
Certification). To the extent any certifications pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar
certifications which may be required to be filed with any Form 8-K, the
Depositor shall designate the appropriate party to sign such certification
(which shall not be the Indenture Trustee). Such power of attorney shall
continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Indenture Trustee from
the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Issuing Entity. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to
the Indenture Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information,
reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement
and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems appropriate to prepare
and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Indenture Trustee shall
have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this
Section 7.08.
(c) If so requested, the Indenture Trustee shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I for the benefit of the Person(s)
signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K
Certification (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be
required to undertake an analysis of, and shall have no responsibility for, any
financial information, accountant's report, certification or other matter
contained therein, except for computations performed by the Indenture Trustee
and reflected in distribution reports prepared by it. Nothing in this Section
7.08(c) shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of its responsibility for the
matters as to which it is certifying in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(d) Each person (including their officers or directors) that signs any
Form 10-K Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust
Estate for any liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such
certification, other than any liability or expense attributable to such Person's
own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this
subsection shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of such Person.
(e) If the Form 10-K is signed by the Depositor pursuant to Section
7.07(a) of this Agreement then not later than March 15 of the calendar year in
which the Form 10-K is filed (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver a certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. (the "Originator") hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule B to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee, as of the Closing Date and
each Subsequent Transfer Date, or if so specified herein, with respect to the
Cut-off Date. With respect to each Mortgage Loan:
(1) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date;
(2) The Mortgage creates a first or second lien (as indicated on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) or a first or second priority ownership interest (as

(3) All payments due on or prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage
Loan have been made as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent
in payment more than 29 days and has not been dishonored; there are no material
defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Originator has not advanced
funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a
party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Loan; and no payment has been 30 days delinquent during the preceding
twelve-month period;
(4) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and
which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(5) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is
required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except
in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been approved by the issuer of any related title insurance policy, to the extent
required by the related policies;
(6) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Mortgage Note or 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; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage
Loan was originated;
(7) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the
Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other
hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Freddie Mac, as well
as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and
effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Originator and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee
and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid.
If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the
Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy
conforms to Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac requirements, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Such
policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac
guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure
to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;

(9) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in
whole or in part, or rescinded, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission. The Originator has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of
any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Originator waived any default
resulting, from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(10) With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage
is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and
replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note
do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right
thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances having priority over the first or second lien, as applicable, of
the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan,
the related first lien, (2) the lien of non-delinquent current real property
taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (3) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as
of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally and (A) are referred to in the lender's title insurance policy, or (B)
do not adversely affect the market value of the Mortgaged Property or the
intended use of the Mortgaged Property, and (4) 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 (1) with
respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected first lien and first priority security interest and (2) with respect
to any second lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected
second lien and second priority security interest, in each case, on the property
described therein;
(11) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable
principles. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place
on the part of Originator or the Mortgagor, or, on the part of any other party
involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
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, except Draws as permitted under the Mortgage Note. All
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(12) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Seller,
the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not
subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Originator had good and marketable
title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell
the Mortgage Loan to the Seller free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest.
(13) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, a lender's policy of title
insurance, lender master protection program (standard mortgage guaranty) or a
commitment letter (binder) to issue the same or an attorney's certificate or
opinion of title was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
Loan and each such policy or certificate or opinion of title is valid and
remains in full force and effect. Such lender's policy of title insurance is
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to
Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained in clauses (j)(3)(A) and (B) above) the Originator, its successors and
assigns as to the lien priority specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule with
respect to the related Mortgage in the original principal amount of such
Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of such Mortgage
providing for adjustment to the applicable Loan Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, either such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures
that there is ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property or the
Originator warrants that there is ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged
Property and the lender' s title insurance policy affirmatively insures against
encroachments by or upon the related Mortgaged Property or any interest therein
or any other adverse circumstance that either is disclosed or would have been
disclosed by an accurate survey. The Originator 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 will inure to the benefit
of the Purchaser without any further act. No claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, neither the Originator, any prior holder of the
related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the
coverage of such lender's insurance policy, and there is no act, omission,
condition, or information that would impair the coverage of such lender's
insurance policy;
(14) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the related 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, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration; and neither the Originator nor any prior mortgagee has waived any
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. With respect to
each second lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the first lien is in full force and effect,
(ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing
under such prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which,
with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
thereunder, and either (A) the prior mortgage contains a provision which allows
or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage
Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any
default by payment in full or otherwise under the prior mortgage;
(15) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law
could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which
are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(16) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly
within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are
insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above
and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and
subdivision laws and ordinances;
(17) The Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Originator. The
Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and requirements of the
Originator's Underwriting Standards in effect at the time of origination of such
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Loan Rate as set forth in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Minimum Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note
are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the
usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior
consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(18) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by
waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of
the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for
the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. There have not been
any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and there
are no such proceedings scheduled to commence at a future date. To the best of
the Originator's knowledge, no Mortgage Loan is subject to any litigation as of
the date hereof;
(19) The related Mortgage contains 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. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at
a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(20) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized
and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted
sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(21) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property signed prior to the final approval of the Mortgage Loan application by
a Qualified Appraiser, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged
Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is
not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the
appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC
and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC;
(22) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether
as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in
which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
-----------
Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact Master Servicer -
aggregator of pool assets
Securities Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be
the Master Servicer)
Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer
becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations) Custodian -
safe keeper of pool assets Paying Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate
investor Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction
Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party
performs, rather than the party's title. So, for example, in a particular
transaction, the trustee may perform the "paying agent" and "securities
administrator" functions, while in another transaction, the securities
administrator may perform these functions.
Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.
