REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together
with all rights assigned by the Transferor to the Depositor, pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
and, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans, all of the Transferor's right,
title and interest in and to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements (other than
the Retained Rights). In connection with the foregoing assignments, the
Transferor has caused Cendant, Chase Manhattan, Countrywide, Home Star, GMAC,
Greenpoint, National City, US Mortgage, WMMSC and Xxxxx Fargo to enter into the
Assignment Agreements.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in
clause (a) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of ___________
without recourse," with all intervening endorsements showing a complete
chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person endorsing the
Mortgage Note (each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note); or, with respect to any
Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit from the related Loan Seller or
the Transferor stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or
destroyed, together with a copy of such Mortgage Note;
(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage or a
copy of such Mortgage certified by the related Loan Seller as being a true
and complete copy of the Mortgage;
(iii) a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which may be
included in a blanket assignment or assignments), endorsed in the
following form: "Bank One, N.A., in trust for the MASTR Alternative Loan
Trust 2003-3 for the benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Though
Certificates, Series 2003-3" together with, except as provided below, all
interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each such assignment, when
duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to
effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the
Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the related
Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be
provided by the recording office;
(iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate original
lender's title policy and all riders thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgage has been recorded in
the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc. ("MERS") or its
designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to
be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligations of the applicable Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement to cause the Trust to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage
Loan on the records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers
of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c)
the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not
been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause
(ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to
either the Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in
the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Master
Servicer, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or
such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a
copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but
in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such
interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in
the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date;
provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date
each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any
such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or,
in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has
not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall
deliver such documents to the Master Servicer as promptly as possible upon
receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date.
The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Master Servicer (a)
from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be
delivered by the Depositor to the Master Servicer. In the event that the
original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of
the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the
presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent
document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the
instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute
and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public
recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the
Master Servicer a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, set forth in clause (a) above and in any event, within ninety (90)
days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall affix the Trustee's name to each
assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, and, subject to Section 2.02,
the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer
pursuant to the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such
assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office
for real property records and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the
Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of
Mortgage as to which the related Servicer has not received the information
required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the related Servicer's
obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon
as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within ninety
(90) days after receipt thereof and that the related Servicer need not cause to
be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged
Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in California or (b) in
any other jurisdiction under the laws of which an Opinion of Counsel has been
delivered to the Trustee stating the recordation of such assignment is not
necessary to protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in the
related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection
Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "MASTR Alternative Loan
Trust 2003-3" and Bank One, N.A., is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt
of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-1, and declares that it holds and will hold such documents
and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and
each of the Master Servicer and Trustee together declare that it holds or will
hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Master Servicer acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage
Notes in the State of Minnesota, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies and the Trustee.
The Master Servicer agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing
Date to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. The Master Servicer agrees to execute and deliver
to the Depositor and the Trustee within five (5) Business Days following the
Closing Date an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2.
Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in
such Initial Certification and Interim Certification, the Master Servicer
acknowledges, subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit F-1 and
Exhibit F-2, that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be under no duty or obligation to (i)
inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other
papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real
estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face
or (ii) determine whether the Mortgage File should include any of the documents
specified in Section 2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates
that such documents are applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. The Master Servicer shall make available, upon request
of any Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial
Certification, Interim Certification or the Final Certification. The Master
Servicer shall make available, upon request of the Trustee, the identity of the
Loan Seller for any Mortgage Loan with a material exception.
If, in the course of such review, the Master Servicer finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, the Master Servicer shall list such as an
exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is
sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing,
as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of
and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified
in Section 2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such
documents are applicable. The Trustee shall enforce the applicable obligations
of any Loan Seller to correct and cure such document defects pursuant to the
terms of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreements and if the related Loan
Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within the period of time specified
in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement and such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Loan Seller's obligation pursuant
to the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the Transferor's obligations
hereunder, to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Master Servicer of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L.
The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the applicable
Loan Seller or the Transferor to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit, the Master Servicer shall release the related Mortgage
File to such Loan Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver at such Loan Seller's or the Transferor's request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Loan Seller or the
Transferor, as applicable, in each case without recourse, representation or
warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such Loan Seller, the Transferor or a
designee, as applicable, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
The Master Servicer shall retain possession and custody of each
Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer will cause each of the related Servicers to
promptly deliver to it and thereupon will promptly deposit within each Mortgage
File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other
documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the
possession of the related Servicers from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of a Loan Seller,
pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and the Transferor,
hereunder, to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect
available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any
Certificateholder.
Section 2.03 Remedies for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties.
The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein,
as of the Cut-off Date.
Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03
or by a Loan Seller under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties. A breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice
of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the applicable Loan Seller or the
Transferor, as applicable, of such breach. The Trustee and, in the case of
clause (i) that follows, the Trustee and the Transferor, shall enforce the
obligations of (i) the applicable Loan Seller in accordance with the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, to correct or cure any such breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement within the time period specified in the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement and (ii) the Transferor in accordance with this Section 2.03 to
correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty made herein, and
if the Loan Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, fails to correct or cure
the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall enforce the Loan Seller's obligations, pursuant to the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or the Transferor's obligations hereunder, as
the case may be, to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or
(ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in
each case, such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") will be removed from
the Trust Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within sixty (60) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such sixty (60) day period expires
prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the
manner set forth below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by
the Transferor or the Loan Seller.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Transferor shall deliver to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. Any substitution made by a Loan Seller
will be made in accordance with the terms of the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement which terms shall be enforced by the Trustee. No substitution is
permitted to be made on any day in any calendar month after the Determination
Date for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein
in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph,
the Master Servicer shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the applicable Loan
Seller or the Transferor and shall execute and deliver or cause the Trustee to
execute and deliver at the Loan Seller's or Transferor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Loan Seller or Transferor,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to vest title in the Loan Seller or Transferor, as applicable, or its designee,
the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to
this Section 2.03.
For any month in which a Loan Seller or the Transferor substitutes
one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the
scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment
Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with
respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor (or
the applicable Loan Seller if such substitution is made by a Loan Seller), and
the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts received from the Transferor or
Loan Seller into the Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or
replaced hereunder.
In the event that a Loan Seller or the Transferor, as applicable,
shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month during which such Loan Seller or the Transferor became
obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such
deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit L hereto, the Master Servicer shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the
Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of
any Person to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against such
Persons respecting such matters available to Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and
assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such
other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor the Depositor had good
title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets,
liens, defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the Master Servicer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein as a "breach"),
which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.
Section 2.05 [Reserved.]
Section 2.06 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the
Trust Fund and acknowledges the issuance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests and the Class A-LR Interest in exchange therefor. The Trustee further
acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the
Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund
and the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and to exercise the rights referred
to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates
and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its
ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be
adequately and effectively protected.
Section 2.07 REMIC Matters.

the foregoing determinations, on the basis of the respective principal balance
of each such Lower Tier REMIC Interest (computed to eight decimal places),
immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

entitled to distributions of interest.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service
and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such master servicing and administration. With respect to WMMSC,
the WMMSC Mortgage Loans and the WMMSC Servicing Agreement, the obligations of
the Master Servicer imposed in the preceding sentence shall be limited to: (i)
collecting the monthly report provided by WMMSC under the WMMSC Servicing
Agreement, (ii) enforcing WMMSC's obligation to remit to the Trustee hereunder,
(iii) receiving the annual compliance statements from WMMSC and (iv) complying
with the provisions of Section 3.02(b) hereof and the WMMSC Servicing Agreement
with respect to the termination of WMMSC. In performing its obligations
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this
Agreement and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and
consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the
Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all
reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each
Servicer (provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to
review or evaluate any reports, information and other data provided by WMMSC
with respect to the WMMSC Mortgage Loans) and shall cause each Servicer to
perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer's
servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the
results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous
sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the
Servicers' and Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any
other information and statements required hereunder; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to perform the duties outlined in
this sentence with respect to WMMSC or the WMMSC Mortgage Loans other than
collecting the mortgage loan information provided to the Master Servicer by
WMMSC to enable the Master Servicer to prepare the statement required under
Section 4.04. Other than with respect to WMMSC and the WMMSC Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with
the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to
the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to
the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 Monitoring of Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the
Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under
the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer's
activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the
Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance with the terms of its
Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its
judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to
such Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event
that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a
Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate
the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as successor
Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the Trustee to enter in to a new
Purchase and Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the
Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the
parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days)
before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor
Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of Purchase and Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend
any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have
received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such
action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
any Purchase and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all
legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated
with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of
an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated
with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing
data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor
service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs
and expenses from the Collection Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with
the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that
it replaces.
(f) If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating
Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make
such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was
required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.
Section 3.03 [Reserved]
Section 3.04 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of
such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the
Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
Section 3.05 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Master Servicer Event
of Termination), the Trustee or its successor shall in accordance with Section
7.02 thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable
for losses of the predecessor Master Servicer or any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Master Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is
prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not
limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.09 hereunder). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall
for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any
Master Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee or its successor may, but
shall not be obligated to, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each subservicing agreement.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing
agreement to the assuming party.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing
data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct
any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively.
If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an
expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iv); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust
for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 3.06 Protected Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each
Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected Account in accordance with the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with
respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into which accounts
shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of
principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan and with respect to any REO Property
received by a Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds, and advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less
servicing compensation as permitted by the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement in the case of any Servicer) and all other amounts to be deposited in
the Protected Account. The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make
withdrawals from and deposits to the related Protected Account for purposes
required or permitted by this Agreement.
(b) In accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, amounts on deposit in a Protected Account may be invested
by the applicable Servicer in investments specified in such Purchase and
Servicing Agreement. The income earned from investments made pursuant to this
Section 3.06 shall be paid to the related Servicer under the applicable Purchase
and Servicing Agreement, and the risk of loss of moneys required to be
distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall be
borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The related Servicer (to the
extent provided in the Purchase and Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the
amount of any such loss in the Protected Account within two Business Days of
receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to
be distributed to the Certificateholders.

to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and,
where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such
insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth
in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or

Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.12 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable

Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in
respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the
Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be
applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a
condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan
to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited
(or remitted).
Section 3.13 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to
the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any

Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the
extent required under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to keep in
force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to
maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not,
and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary
Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the
Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer
(to the extent required under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to
present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the
insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections
3.07 and 3.08, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.14 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon,
repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, all in accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement.
Section 3.15 REO Property.
(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO
Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to
sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement,
as applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all
funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO
Property in the Protected Account.
(c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final
disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Monthly 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 any such unreimbursed
Monthly 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.
(d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer
as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected 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 Master Servicer for deposit
into the related Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the related
Servicer to dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third
calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged
Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of
such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period of such extension.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund
in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject either REMIC hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from
such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Master Servicer or related Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause the applicable Servicer to comply
with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any
successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises
with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any,
that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on
such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.16 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses,
the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in
accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement. If applicable
law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is
otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original
Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon (i) the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes or (ii) otherwise in connection with the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will, upon receipt of
notification from the related Servicer pursuant to the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer.
Upon notification, the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute
and deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing
the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together
with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor.
If the Master Servicer or any related Servicer at any time seeks to
initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as
authorized by this Agreement or the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer or any related Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 3.18 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to Be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall place within the Mortgage File and shall cause each Servicer to
transmit to the Master Servicer as required by this Agreement and the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a
Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or related
Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
received by the Master Servicer or related Servicer or which otherwise are
collected by the Master Servicer or related Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds
collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer or related
Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account or any Protected
Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of
the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that
it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are
deposited in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account,
or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or
any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from
any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.19 Master Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account an amount
equal to all investment income gained on amounts held in the Collection Account
plus, with respect to the Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans, an additional fee
equal to (i) the Master Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by (ii) the Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date
in the month preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.
The Trustee will remit to the Master Servicer all investment income earned on
amounts held in the Distribution Account, net of the WMMSC Investment Earnings
Amount, if any, which the Trustee shall remit directly to WMMSC.
Section 3.20 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide and cause each Servicer to provide
in accordance with the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement to the OTS and
the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Junior
Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and
such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer
and the related Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of
the Master Servicer and the related Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. In fulfilling such requests, the Master Servicer shall not be
responsible to determine the sufficiency of such information.
Section 3.21 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, each Rating
Agency and the Trustee on or before March 15th of each year, commencing with
March 15, 2004, an Officer's Certificate, signed by two officers of the Master
Servicer, stating, as to the signers thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such
officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on
such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.22 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
On or before March 15th of each year, commencing with March 15,
2004, if the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly
serviced any Mortgage Loan, then at its expense shall cause a nationally or
regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to
the effect that-such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans
under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement
(such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling
and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such
examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, such servicing has been conducted in
compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such
significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm,
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program
for Mortgages serviced for Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac requires it to report.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
Section 3.23 Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as Master Servicer
under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as
Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers,
employees and agents. Each such policy or policies shall be in such form and
such amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicer. In the
event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer
shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer,
meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND SERVICING ADVANCES
Section 4.01 Advances.
The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account not
later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the
related Distribution Date an Advance in an amount equal to the difference
between (x) with respect to each Scheduled Payment due on a Mortgage Loan that
is delinquent (other than as a result of a Relief Act Reduction) and for which
the related Servicer was required to make an Advance pursuant to the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement and (y) amounts deposited in the Collection
Account (or, in the case of WMMSC, amounts deposited in the Distribution
Account) to be used for Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to
the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
continue to make such Advances for so long as the related Servicer is required
to do so under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on
the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Master Servicer elects not
to make an Advance in a stated amount and detailing the reason(s) it deems the
Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any amounts deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be net of the applicable Servicing
Fee and, if applicable, the Master Servicing Fee, for the related Mortgage
Loans.
Section 4.02 Priorities of Distribution.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the Group
1 Available Funds and the Group 2 Available Funds (to the extent on deposit in
the Distribution Account) from the Distribution Account, pursuant to instruction
received from the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 4.04(a), upon which it
may conclusively rely, apply such funds, first to distributions in respect of
the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, as provided in Section 4.02(f), and then

A-X Certificates shall be calculated solely on the basis of that
portion of the Class A-X Notional Amount attributable to the Group 1
Mortgage Loans; and
(B) to each interest-bearing Class of Group 2 Certificates and
the Class A-X Certificates, pro rata, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the related Accrued Certificate Interest;

Accretion Termination Date, an amount equal to the amount that would
otherwise be distributable in respect of interest (including any

provision (the "Class 2-A-4 Accrual Amount") will instead be
distributed in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class
2-A-3 Certificates in accordance with this Section 4.02(a); and
in each case ((A) and (B) of this paragraph), any shortfall shall be
allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Accrued
Certificate Interest that would have been distributed in the absence of
such shortfall; and
second, concurrently,
(A) to the extent of remaining Group 1 Available Funds, to the
Class 1-A-1 Certificates, the Senior Optimal Principal Amount for
Group 1 for such Distribution Date, until the Class Principal
Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero; and
(B) to the extent of remaining Group 2 Available Funds, to
each Class of Group 2 Certificates (other than the Interest-Only

the Cross-Over Date, up to the amount of the Senior Optimal
Principal Amount for Group 2 for such Distribution Date will
be distributed to each Class of Group 2 Certificates (other
than the Class 2-PO Certificates), pro rata, according to
Class Principal Balance, until their respective Class

pursuant to this priority third will not exceed the Junior Principal
Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, (2) such distribution will not
reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-PO Certificates and (3)
no distribution will be made in respect of any such Group PO Deferred Amount
after the Cross-Over Date;
(ii) to the Junior Certificates, subject to Section 4.02(e), in the
following order of priority:

(which is expected to be zero) of the Available Funds in the
Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for that Distribution Date.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class PO Deferred
Amounts shall not reduce the Class Principal Balance of the Principal-Only
Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Group 2 Available Funds
is insufficient to make the full distribution required to be made pursuant to
clause (i), priority second sub-clause (B) above, (x) the amount distributable
on the Class 2-PO Certificates in respect of principal on the Group 2 Loans
shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for Group 2 Principal
and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Group 2 PO Distribution Amount
and the denominator of which is the sum of the Group 2 PO Distribution Amount
and the Group 2 Optimal Principal Amount and (y) the amount distributable on the
Group 2 Certificates in respect of principal shall be equal to the product of
(1) the Amount Available for Group 2 Principal and (2) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the Group 2 Optimal Principal Amount and the denominator of which is
the sum of the Group 2 Optimal Principal Amount and the Group 2 PO Distribution
Amount.
On each Distribution Date prior to the Class 2-A-4 Accretion
Termination Date, the Class 2-A-4 Accrual Amount will be added to the Class
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates.
On each Distribution Date occurring prior to the Class 2-A-4
Accretion Termination Date, the Class 2-A-4 Accrual Amount will be distributed
first, to the Class 2-A-3 Certificates, until the Class Principal Balance of
such Class has been reduced to its Scheduled Class Balance for such Distribution

of such Class has been reduced to zero.
(b) On each Distribution Date on or after the Cross-Over Date,
notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i)
third above, no distribution will be made on the Principal-Only Certificates in
respect of the Group PO Deferred Amount.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i)
of the definition of Accrued Certificate Interest for each Class of Certificates
(other than the Principal-Only Certificates) for such Distribution Date shall be
reduced by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls based on such Class' Accrued Certificate Interest for such
Distribution Date without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls and (ii) the related Class' Pro Rata Share of (A) after the Special
Hazard Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became
a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of
such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Net
Mortgage Rate on the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the
Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as
interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B) after the
Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
became subject to a Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month preceding the
month of such Distribution Date, the interest portion of the related Deficient
Valuation, (C) each Relief Act Reduction incurred on a Mortgage Loan during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (D) after the
Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
became a Fraud Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Net
Mortgage Rate on the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the
Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as
interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month; and
(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (F), if with respect to any Class of Junior Certificates
on any Distribution Date, such Class has not satisfied the related Class
Prepayment Distribution Trigger, no distribution of amounts pursuant to clauses
(ii) and (iii) of the definition of Junior Optimal Principal Amount will be made
to any such Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and the amount of such amounts
pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Junior Optimal Principal
Amount otherwise distributable to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to
any Classes of Junior Certificates, which are not Restricted Classes, having
lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on their
respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date
and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (F); provided, however, that, if all of the Junior
Certificates are Restricted Classes, then such amounts shall be distributed to
the most senior Class of Junior Certificates outstanding. The calculation of any
amount to be distributed under this Section 4.02(d) shall be made by the Master
Servicer.
(e) On each Distribution Date, after application of Group Available
Funds for each Loan Group in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i) items first and
second, the Trustee shall effect cross-collateralization among the Certificate
Groups as follows:
(i) To the extent any Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to
any Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Principal-Only
Certificates) remains unpaid after application of Group 1 Available Funds
and Group 2 Available Funds in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i) items
first and second, Available Funds remaining after payments on the Senior
Certificates shall be applied to cover such unpaid Accrued Certificate
Interest, and shall be applied pro rata based on the amounts of such
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest to the extent there are insufficient
funds to pay such amounts in full. Such amounts shall otherwise be paid to
the Senior Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(i) items first through second.
(ii) To the extent any Class PO Deferred Amount then payable from
the applicable Aggregate Junior Optimal Principal Amount has not been paid
from Available Funds for the related Group, the applicable Junior
Principal Distribution Amount shall be applied to pay any such Class PO
Deferred Amount. To the extent the applicable Junior Principal
Distribution Amount is insufficient to pay all such Class PO Deferred
Amounts then payable, the applicable Junior Principal Distribution Amount
shall be applied pro rata to related Class PO Deferred Amounts then
payable based on the respective amounts then payable.
(iii) If on any Distribution Date, there exist one or more
Undercollateralized Groups, then all amounts otherwise distributable as
principal on the Junior Certificates as the Junior Principal Distribution
Amount (other than amounts needed to pay any related Class PO Deferred
Amounts as described above) shall be paid to such Undercollateralized
Group(s) as principal to the Senior Certificates (other than the
Principal-Only Certificates) of such Undercollateralized Group(s) in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) items first
and second until the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Senior
Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group(s) (not including the
related Principal-Only Certificates) equals the Pool Balance of the
related Loan Group(s) (net of the applicable PO Percentage of the
Scheduled Principal Balance of each Discount Mortgage Loan in such Loan
Group(s)), applied pro rata among multiple such Undercollateralized Groups
based on the amount undercollateralized after other distributions of
principal on such Distribution Date.
(iv) On or after the date on which the Class Principal Balances of
the Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group have been reduced to zero,
amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Junior Certificates,
up to the applicable Apportioned Junior Principal Distribution Amount,
shall be paid pro rata as principal to the remaining Senior Certificates
of the other Certificate Groups in accordance with the priorities set
forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) items first and second, provided that on such
Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for such
Distribution Date is less than twice the initial Aggregate Subordinate
Percentage or (b) the average outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more over the last six months as a
percentage of the related Group Subordinated Amount is greater than or
equal to 50%.
(v) Any application of the Junior Principal Distribution Amount for
the Junior Certificates pursuant to the preceding paragraphs (ii), (iii)
and (iv) will reduce distributions of such amount in reverse order of
priority pursuant to priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A)
through (F).
(f) On each Distribution Date, prior to distributions on the
Certificates as provided in Section 4.02(a)-(e), (i) Group 1 Available Funds
shall be deemed distributed to the Class L-1B Interest, Class 1-A-LX Interest
and Class L-1Q Interest and (ii) Group 2 Available Funds (other than amounts
paid to the Class A-R Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i)) shall be
deemed distributed to the Class L-2B Interest, Class 2-LPO Interest, Class
2-A-LX Interest and Class L-2Q Interest, in each case, with respect to interest,
at the related pass through rate described in Section 2.07, and with respect to
principal in the amounts described in this Section 4.02(f).
As of the Closing Date and any date of determination, (i) the
principal balance of the Class L-1B Interest shall equal 0.1% of the Group 1
Subordinate Amount and (ii) the principal balance of the Class L-2B Interest
shall equal 0.1% of the Group 2 Subordinate Amount.
As of the Closing Date and any date of determination, (i) the
principal balance of the Class L-1Q Interest shall equal the excess of (1) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans over (2) the
principal balances of the Class L-1B Interest and (ii) the principal balance of
the Class L-2Q Interest shall equal the excess of (1) the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Group 2 Mortgage Loans over (2) the sum of the
principal balances of the Class L-2B Interest and the Class 2-LPO Interest.
As of the Closing Date and any date of determination, the principal
balance of the Class 2-LPO Interest shall equal the Class Principal Balance of
the Class 2-PO Certificates.
Distributions of principal shall be made, and Realized Losses, Fraud
Losses, Special Hazard Losses, Deficient Valuations and Excess Losses shall be
allocated:
(i) first, from Loan Group 2, to the Class 2-LPO Interest, so as to
keep the principal balance of the Class 2-LPO Interest equal to the Class
Principal Balance of the Class 2-PO Certificates;
(ii) second, to the Class L-1B Interest and Class L-2B Interest each
from its Related Loan Group, so that their respective principal balances
are equal to (A) 0.1% of the Group 1 Subordinate Amount and (B) 0.1% of
the Group 2 Subordinate Amount respectively (except that if any such
amount is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of principal shall be distributed or losses shall be
allocated to the Class L-1B Interest and Class L-2B Interest, as
applicable, such that the Lower-Tier Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and
(iii) third, any remaining amounts from the Related Loan Group, to
the Class L-1Q Interest and Class L-2Q Interest, respectively.
Section 4.03 Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses and the
allocation of such total amount as set forth below. Realized Losses occurring on
the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:
(i) the PO Percentage of any Realized Loss occurring on a Group 2
Mortgage Loan, including any Excess Loss, shall be allocated to the Class
2-PO Certificates; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Junior
Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class of Junior Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the
respective Class Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero
and second (1) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to Group
1 Mortgage Loans, to the Classes of Group 1 Certificates (not including
the Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on the basis of their respective
Class Principal Balances immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced
to zero; and (2) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to
Group 2 Mortgage Loans, to the Classes of Group 2 Certificates (not
including the Principal-Only Certificates and Interest-Only Certificates),
pro rata on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date until the Class
Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero; and
(B) (x) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses
occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among (1) the Group 1
Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 1 Mortgage Loan and
the Group 2 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 2
Mortgage Loan (other than, in each case, any related Principal-Only
Certificates and Interest-Only Certificates) and (2) each Class of Junior
Certificates, pro rata, based upon their respective Class Principal
Balances (or, in the case of the Junior Certificates in the aggregate, the
Group Subordinate Amount for the Loan Group which incurred the Excess
Loss, the aggregate amount so allocated to the Junior Certificates then to
be allocated among the Junior Certificates pro rata based on their
respective Class Principal Balances) after giving effect to distributions
of principal on such Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Junior Certificates
then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced
on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on the
Principal-Only Certificates in respect of the Class PO Deferred Amounts, and
(ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances
of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the
distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and payments of
the Class PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool
Principal Balance (less the PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Discount Mortgage Loans) for the following Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.03(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any
reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to
Section 4.03(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately following the
distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the
definition of "Certificate Principal Balance" herein; provided that no Realized
Loss shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of a
Certificate to the extent that such allocation would reduce the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Certificates to an amount less than
the Pool Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date of all
outstanding Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, less any related Deficiency
Valuations occurring before the related Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Termination
Date (such limitation, a "Loss Allocation Limitation").
Section 4.04 Distribution Date Statements to Certificateholders.

Date, the Master Servicer shall prepare and make available to the Trustee and

(b) The Master Servicer's responsibility for disbursing the above
information to the Trustee, Depositor, Certificateholders and other interested
parties is limited to the availability, timeliness and the accuracy of the
information provided by each Servicer. The Master Servicer will make a copy of
each statement provided pursuant to this Section 4.04 (and, at the option of the
Master Servicer, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders and other
interested parties, and other parties to this Agreement via its internet
website. The Master Servicer's internet website will initially be located at
"xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx." Assistance in using the Master Servicer's website can be
obtained by calling the Master Servicer's customer service desk at (301)
815-6600. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution method are
entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the
Master Servicer's customer service desk and indicating such. The Master Servicer
shall have the right to change the way the Distribution Date Statement is
distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and more
accessible and the Master Servicer shall provide timely and adequate
notification to the Certificateholders and the parties to this Agreement
regarding any such changes.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not
be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date Statement and may affix
thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
As a condition to access the Master Servicer's internet website, the
Master Servicer may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The
Master Servicer will not be liable for the dissemination of information in
accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished upon request to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a
statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and
(a)(vii) of this Section 4.04 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee
pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
in Exhibit A. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
has so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) an Interest-Only
Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal
Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class
mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless authenticated by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and
(c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required by the
Trustee.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the
event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (other than the Depositor or an
affiliate of the Depositor) shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the
facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit I
(the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the
form of either Exhibit J (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit K (the "Rule 144A
Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the
transferor an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such transfer may
be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and
the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule
144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to
the Depositor, to the extent in its possession, such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as
the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the
preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor,
and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made (other
than to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trustee shall
have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
(in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement is
satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K), to the effect
that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, or a plan or arrangement subject to any federal, state or local law
("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the
Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using
the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, (ii) in the
case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, if
the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an
insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in
an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the
purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under PTCE 95-60 or (iii)
in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code
or a plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan's or arrangement's
assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund
being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code or similar provisions of Similar Law and will
not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private
Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding
sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been
made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's)
acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else
to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate, other than a Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to
the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described
above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer of a
Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in
clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under
subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an
affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of
a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other
than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered
by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
who is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv) of
the definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Transferor or the Master Servicer,
to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause either
REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates
are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of
this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee,
is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies the Trustee that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after
the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners
representing at least 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee, upon receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the
Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer,
the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate
inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of
such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such
Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the
Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor
and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that
the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any
such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange at the Corporate Trust Office. The Trustee will give prompt written
notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such
office or agency.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer will each keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation or limited partnership, as
the case may be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of

Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Transferor or
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer
or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by
it herein or protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or any
such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the Transferor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Transferor,
the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the
Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with (i) any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a
governmental taxing authority, (ii) the performance of its duties and
obligations and the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or the
Certificates which constitute "unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) any legal action relating
to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the
Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its
respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the
Transferor or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and
the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Transferor and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor master servicer
and receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of
any of the Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law or (c) pursuant to Section 6.05. Any
such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to
the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05 Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing Rights.
The Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its rights, duties

an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance
and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it
as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after
the effective date of such assumption agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall
be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the
Master Servicer and shall confirm in writing to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee that any such sale, assignment or delegation would not result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading of the rating on any Class of Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such sale, assignment; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Independent
Counsel addressed to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to
such action under this Agreement have been fulfilled and such action is
permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such sale,
assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer
arising prior to the effective date thereof.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Termination," wherever used herein, means
any one of the following events:
(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to
this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of one
Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer; or
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material
respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights
aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates; or
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 is unstayed and
in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is
commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days
after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or
the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its
obligations; or
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights
under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Section 6.04.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event
of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates shall, in each
case, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given
by such Certificateholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate
all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities accruing prior to the
date of termination) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the
proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Purchase and
Servicing Agreements, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but
only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or
related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02, automatically and without
further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of
the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of (i) the Mortgage Files and all other
property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which
thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all
documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable
it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. In addition to any other
amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities
under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount
received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of
such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement
if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by
the Master Servicer prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any
late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to
the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which
such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i)
through (viii), and (x) and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer
hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its
activities hereunder.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer
in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on
the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law
including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled hereunder if the Master
Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, or if it has been
requested in writing by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any
successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae
and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth
of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to master service the Mortgage
Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master
Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master
Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party
to this Agreement; and provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges
that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced, without regard to
the guaranty provided by the Policies, as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall,
subject to Section 3.05 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor master servicer shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the
compensation permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such
successor master servicer shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any
delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case
caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay
in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice
to the Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of
its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the
Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.11.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer of
master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time)
associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be
required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee
or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within
thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall
be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iv); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust
for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event
of Termination, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders
notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured
or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of
Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case a
Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and remains uncured or
unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If
any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the
requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting,
does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which the
Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred, and is continuing, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it
believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the
proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(iv) Subject to Section 7.02, the Trustee shall not be accountable,
shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or
omissions hereunder of the Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee
may be required to act as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of
any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events
of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (iv)
shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured
to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
(viii)the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee
may conclusively assume that there is no Master Servicer Event of
Termination; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby.
The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing,
or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or
other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with
respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than
from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes
no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect
to the Trustee's execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the
Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection
Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the parties
hereto and their Affiliates with the same rights as it would have if it were not
the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be compensated as separately agreed with the
Master Servicer. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, agent or
"control person" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended ("Control Person") of the
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement (b) the
Mortgage Loans or (c) the Certificates, (ii) incurred in connection with the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (iii)
incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the
Certificateholders and (iv) resulting from any error in any tax or information
return prepared by the Master Servicer, provided that any such loss, liability
or expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct, or which would not be an "unanticipated expense"
within the meaning of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be
reimbursed by the Trust for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of
the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
any accountant, engineer, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly
employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such Persons

its obligations under this paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time
in the Distribution Account.

association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating of at least investment grade. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving
as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however,
that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the
successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the Successor Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as

Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment
shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or other
entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper
or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under
this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee (as
successor master servicer) and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
(it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held liable by reason of any act
or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not,
and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; and
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which either REMIC
election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be
such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of
such intention, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as
agent (and the Master Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of
such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause
to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form
adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be
prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or
local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year
with respect to such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in
such manner as may be required thereby, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption
identified in the Prospectus Supplement;
(b) apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal
Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such REMIC and
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated
as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(e) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as
to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(f) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status;
(g) not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other
than the Certificates;
(h) not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation
for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement);
(i) receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a
"qualified mortgage" nor a "permitted investment" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions;
(j) not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup
Day that would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code;
(k) not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such
disposition would be a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code;
(l) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on such REMIC prior to its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the
Master Servicer from causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(m) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
and
(n) maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the adjusted
basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code,
as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-R
Certificates shall act as "tax matters person" for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of such Class
A-R Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Master Servicer is not so
permitted, such Holder shall be the tax matters person in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master Servicer shall, as and when
necessary and appropriate, represent the related REMIC in any administrative or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of
such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or
data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant
for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to
perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the
Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master
Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause
to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
either REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code, on any contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, respectively, if any such other tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises
out of or results from the Transferor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Transferor fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as
provided in Section 3.10(b).
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings.
(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, prior to the issuance of
the related monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.04
(each, a "Distribution Date Statement"), the Master Servicer shall confirm that
it has received all distribution and servicing information required to be
provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer for inclusion in such
Distribution Date Statement. In the event the Master Servicer determines that
any such information has not been provided as required or is materially
incorrect, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the applicable Servicer
and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Servicer to provide or correct,
as the case may be, such information promptly (but in any event in time to
permit the Master Servicer to distribute the Distribution Date Statement at the
time required in this Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any
officer's certificate relating to any Servicer's annual compliance with the
terms of the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of any
Servicer's independent public accountants relating to the Servicer's compliance
with servicing standards, as required under the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, and (iii) any report of the Master Servicer's independent
public accountants required pursuant to Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall
review such officer's certificate and reports. As part of the Form 10-K required
to be filed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.12, the Master Servicer
shall include each such Servicer's annual statement of compliance (as well as
any annual statement of compliance required pursuant to Section 3.21), and each
such accountant's report, as well as a report of any significant deficiencies
relating to any Servicer's performance of its obligations under the applicable
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Trust to satisfy its reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms
8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer
shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within 15
days after each Distribution Date, which shall include a copy of the
Distribution Date Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.
Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), the Master
Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form
10-K shall include as exhibits the annual statements of compliance, the
accountant's reports and any report of significant deficiencies relating to any
Servicer's performance of its obligations under the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.12, in each
case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Master Servicer. If
they are not so timely delivered, the Master Servicer shall file an amended Form
10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are
delivered to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have no liability
with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer's inability or failure to
obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. Each Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit M or in such other form as may be required by
Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any
directives or interpretations thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Certification"), which shall be signed by a Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such
executed report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Master
Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of All
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby
with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the
purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties)
remaining in the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the
unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than Mortgage Loans for
which the related Mortgaged Property has become REO Property) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser
of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of
two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Master
Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate and (b) the later of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of
the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all
REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall
the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of
21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on
the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right to
purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above
shall be conditioned upon the Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such
repurchase, aggregating less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Section 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer
shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date
notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer
intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th
day and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such
final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon
which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of
such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the
order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of
Regular Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus (a) accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an
interest bearing Certificate and (b) any applicable Group PO Deferred Amounts in
the case of the Principal-Only Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual
Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution
Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application
pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC which remain subject hereto and the Class A-R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of
the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, respectively, which remain
subject hereto.
Section 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option
as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on the
Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code,
or (ii) cause either such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.02 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation of the REMICs as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier,
the date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders).
The Trustee shall also specify such date in a statement attached to the
final tax return of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for
cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and shall distribute
such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner specified in
Section 9.01.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may
be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Prospectus Supplement,
(iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Transferor or the
Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind
any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided that any
action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which Opinion of Counsel shall be
an expense of the party requesting the amendment, or if the Trustee requests the
amendment, the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall
not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificate holders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor and the
Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement
without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any
of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i)
maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at
any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with
any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which
opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that
such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
Section 8.12 of this Agreement may also be amended by the Depositor,
the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders, and without the need for any Opinions of Counsel
(other than the tax opinion described below) or Rating Agency confirmation, in
the event that new guidelines or procedures are issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to the preparation and filing of Form 10-K and
the Certification.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than
as described in the preceding clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement (other than
pursuant to Section 8.12(d)) unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which opinion shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such
amendment is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax
under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause
either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
(which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund),
satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not
prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this
Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not
required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.
Section 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement (or an abstract hereof, if acceptable to the
applicable recording office) is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the towns or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and
in any other appropriate public office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust on direction by the
Trustee (acting at the written direction of a Majority in Interest of the
Certificateholders), but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 10.03 Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND
TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.04 Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an
absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the
Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such
assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement
within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and
(ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an
assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute
the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, 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 the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholder.
Section 10.05 Notices.
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide
notice to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it

Section 10.07 Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided in Section 6.02 and this Section 10.07, this Agreement may not be
assigned by the Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee
and Depositor. Pursuant to Section 6.05, the Master Servicer shall be permitted
to pledge its rights as servicer hereunder to a lender, provided that no such

hereunder.
Section 10.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management

pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and of the continuance thereof, as
herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made
written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other
of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in
the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders.
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.08, each
and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as
can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 10.09 Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit and will cause each Servicer to permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer's or Servicer's, as the case
may be, normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as the case may
be, relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to
cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants
selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances
and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and
independent public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with
such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense
incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this
Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other
such expenses shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer.
Section 10.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall
not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests
in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any
reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

This certifies that UBS Warburg LLC is the registered owner of the

capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is
to be made within three years from the date of the initial issuance of
Certificates pursuant hereto, there shall also be delivered (except in the case
of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act) to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from
the Securities Act and such state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, or the

hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation (letter) from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or
a plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a person acting on
behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Servicer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the
case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law
(or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any
such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in the assets of the
Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code or similar provisions of Similar
Law and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Servicer. (Such representation shall be deemed to have been
made to the Trustee by the Transferee's acceptance of a Certificate of this
Class and by a beneficial owner's acceptance of its interest in a Certificate of
this Class.) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf of an employee benefit
plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.

reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month
of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution
on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Office of the Trustee or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Transferor, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the
requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less
than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund
all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the
Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In
the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and
responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the
maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in
respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will
the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

MASTR ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2003-3
Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2003-3
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______, the proposed Transferee
of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2003 (the
"Agreement") among Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc., as
depositor, UBS Warburg Real Estate Securities Inc., as transferor (the
"Transferor"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer"), and Bank One, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms
used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the
undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
Disqualified Organizations; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or,
if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is a Disqualified Organization, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization and, at the time
of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a
Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false;
provided, that a pass-through entity which is an "electing large partnership"
under the Code will be subject to tax in all events. (For this purpose, a
"pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate
investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.) The Transferee further understands that it may incur tax liabilities
with respect to the holding of the Certificate in excess of cash flows generated
thereby.
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have
become due and intends to do so in the future. The Transferee understands that
the taxable income and tax liability with respect to this Certificate will
exceed distributions with respect to the Certificate in some or all periods and
intends to pay all taxes with respect to the Certificate as they become due.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30) or is not a U.S. Person and has furnished the Transferor and the
Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any
applicable successor form.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income with respect to the
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
or any other Person.
12. Check one of the following paragraphs:
[ ] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated
with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
[ ] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to
which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the
United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the
transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial
reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that
satisfies the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section
1.860E-1(c)(5); and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions
(including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment
rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and
reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific
to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
[ ] None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, and the Transferee is
not acting on behalf of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be

duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify
the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall
not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the
certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b)
above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for
whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is
not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the
definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Loan
Seller, the Transferors or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of
such restrictions will not cause a REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of
any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of
Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is
