the extent provided in regulations) provided that, for purposes solely of the
restrictions on the transfer of Class A-R Certificates and Class A-RL

tax purposes are required to be United States Persons or an estate whose income
is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or a

States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust. To the extent prescribed in regulations by the Secretary of the Treasury,
which have not yet been issued, a trust which was in existence on August 20,
1996 (other than a trust treated as owned by the grantor under subpart E of part
I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code), and which was treated as a United

the denominator of which is the Class Principal Balance of all such Classes then
outstanding. The Class P, Class X-1 and Class X-S Certificates shall each be
allocated 1% of the Voting Rights. Voting Rights shall be allocated among the
Certificates within each such Class (other than the Class P, Class X-1 and Class

of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first to
REMIC 1 Regular Interests LTI-1 and LTI-PF and then to REMIC 1 Regular Interests
LTI-P and LTI-R, in each case to the extent of one month's interest at the then
applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate on the respective
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest;
provided, however, that with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, such
amounts relating to the Initial Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1
Regular Interest LTI-1 and such amounts relating to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT-PF.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated
Accrued Interest for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date,

form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (iii) cause to be delivered
for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the

assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the
information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the
Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, and the Trustee need not
cause to be recorded (a) any assignment referred to in clause (iii) above which
relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee (at the Depositor's
expense, provided such expense has been previously approved by the Depositor in
writing) within 180 days of the Closing Date, acceptable to the Rating Agencies,
the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and
the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is
identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage
as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successors
and assigns.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Depositor further agrees that it will
cause, at the Depositor's own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the
Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of
the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]" in the field "[IDENTIFY THE
FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the Trustee and (b) the code
"[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field "Pool Field" which
identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not
permit the Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the
codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the
term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee is authorized to appoint any bank or trust
company approved by the Depositor as Custodian of the documents or instruments
referred to in this Section 2.01 for any of the Mortgage Loans, and to enter
into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose and any documents delivered
thereunder shall be delivered to the Custodian and any Officer's Certificates
delivered with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee and the
Custodian.
(d) It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement
that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as
provided in this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties to this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
51
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then (a) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance
provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest
in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans
and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or
any Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (e)
shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any
purpose other than for perfection of such security interests unless, and then
only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in
writing). The Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor,
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
(e) The Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right, title and interest in such
Subsequent Mortgage Loans (which does not include servicing rights), including
all interest and principal due on or with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage
Loans on or after the related Subsequent Transfer Date and all interest and
principal payments on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans received prior to the
Subsequent Transfer Date in respect of installments of interest and principal
due thereafter, but not including principal and interest due on such Subsequent
Mortgage Loans prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date, any insurance
policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of any of
the foregoing.
(f) Upon one Business Day's prior written notice to the
Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies, on any Business Day during the
Pre-Funding Period designated by the Depositor, the Depositor, DLJMC, the
Servicer and the Trustee shall complete, execute and deliver a Subsequent

SECTION 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt by itself or the Custodian of
the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit G and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf hold and will
hold the documents delivered to it or the Custodian, respectively, constituting
the Mortgage Files, and that it or the Custodian holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges
that it or the Custodian will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the
State of Texas or the State of Illinois, as directed by the Seller, unless
otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Custodian is required under the Custodial Agreement to
execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the
Trustee and the Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G with respect to the Mortgage Loans delivered to the Custodian. The
Trustee shall deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the
Trustee and the Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G with respect to the Mortgage Loans delivered to the Trustee. Based on
its respective review and examination, and only as to the documents identified
in such related Initial Certification, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the
Custodian will acknowledge that such documents delivered to it appear regular on
their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and pursuant to this Agreement the
Trustee will acknowledge that such documents delivered to it appear regular on
their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that
they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee and
the Custodian are each required to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the
Trustee and the Servicer a Final Certification with respect to the Mortgage
Loans delivered to it in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage
File which does not meet the requirements of
55
Section 2.01, the Trustee or, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the
Custodian, will list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination
as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to
that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient
to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the
mortgage to which the assignment relates.
The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within
120 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does
not correct or cure such defect within such period and such defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 120 days from
the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Repurchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or repurchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by
the appropriate recording office, then such substitution or repurchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date; and further provided, that the
Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee or for the Trustee's failure to record such Assignment of
Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any
Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Trustee's failure to record such
Assignment of Mortgage. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating
Agency within 360 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a)
the Assignment of Mortgage which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status
of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter
until the Assignment of Mortgage for the related Mortgage Loan is returned to
the Trustee or the dispute as to location or status has been resolved. Any such
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if
any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit M. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. The Repurchase Price for any
such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account
on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in
the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit
and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute
and deliver at such entity's request such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not
a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
56
from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations.
Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian is required
to execute and deliver on the Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the
Seller, the Trustee and the Servicer an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to
the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian shall
acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under a
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.
Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, not later than 90 days
after the end of the Pre-Funding Period, the Custodian is required to deliver to
the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and the Servicer a Final Certification
with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit H with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files
relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will be
required to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided,
however that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination
as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to
that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient
to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the
mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall cure any such defect
or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with
Section 2.02(a).
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller
to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet
the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Seller.
The Trustee shall pay to the Custodian from time to time
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder or under the
Custodial Agreement, and the Trustee shall pay or reimburse the Custodian upon
its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement
or the Custodial Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 2.02 Representations and Warranties of the Seller and
Servicer.
(a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties
applicable to it set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date,
or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be
specified.
(b) Wilshire, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the
representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule III
hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off
Date or such other date as may be specified.
(c) Wilshire, in its capacity as Servicer, will use its
reasonable efforts to become a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply
in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.
(d) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in Schedule IV as applicable hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or the Subsequent
Transfer Date, as applicable, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date
or such other date as may be specified.
(e) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of
a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(d) that materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the
other parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 120 days of the earlier
of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of
any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(d) which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller to the Depositor, it shall cure such breach in
all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such
120-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner
set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i)
above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and
the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any actual out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such
breach. With respect to any representation and warranties described in this
Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge if it is discovered
by the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
58
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.01(b), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect
to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be
part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section
2.03(e) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and
shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of transfer
or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest
in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Trustee shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of
the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the sum
of (i) the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted
Mortgage Loans and (ii) any costs and damages actually incurred and paid by or
on behalf of the Trust in connection with any breach of the representation and
warranty set forth in Schedule III(xx) as the result of a violation of a
predatory or abusive lending law applicable to such Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be repurchased
or replaced hereunder.
59
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date in the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated
hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of
the Repurchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel if required by
Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M
hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit
of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available
to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this
Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor
as to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee
with respect to the Mortgage Loans that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good
title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the
Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans
during its period of ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the
Agreement.
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 Trustee.
SECTION 2.04 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 120 days after the
Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution
will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on
the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
60
SECTION 2.05 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee (or the Custodian) acknowledges receipt of the
items described in Section 2.02 of this Agreement and the documents identified
in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and,
concurrently with such receipt, has executed 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 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 2.06 REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and
"latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be
the Closing Date. The REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be designated as the
"regular interests" in REMIC 1. The REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be
designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC 2. The Class A-1, Class M-1,
Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8,
Class M-9, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class P, Class X-1 and Class X-S Certificates
shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC 3. The Class A-RL
Certificates will constitute the sole class of residual interests in REMIC 1 and
the Class A-R Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of two residual
interests, Class R-2 Interest and Class R-3 Interest, each of which will
constitute the sole class of residual interests in each of REMIC 2 and REMIC 3,
respectively. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3
other than the Certificates, the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or the REMIC 2
Regular Interests. The "tax matters person" with respect to each of REMIC 1,
REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 shall be the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and Class
A-RL Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof in
the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury
regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The fiscal year for each REMIC shall be
the calendar year. In addition, the Class X-1 Certificateholders shall be deemed
to have entered into a contractual arrangement with the Class A-R
Certificateholders or Class A-RL Certificateholders whereby the Class A-R
Certificateholders or Class A-RL Certificateholders agree to pay to the Class
X-1 Certificateholders on each Distribution Date amounts that would, in the
absence of such contractual agreement, be distributable with respect to the
residual interest in REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3 pursuant to Section
4.02(b)(iv)(P) (which amounts are expected to be zero).
SECTION 2.07 Covenants of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee
that no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in
writing or written report prepared by the Servicer and delivered to the
Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and
61
prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact.
SECTION 2.08 Conveyance of REMIC Regular Interests and
Acceptance of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 by the
Trustee; Issuance of Certificates.
(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit of the Holder
of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Holders of the Class R-2 Interest. The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (each of which is
uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests
and Holder of the Class R-2 Interest. The interests evidenced by the Class R-2
Interest, together with the REMIC 2 Regular Interests, constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 2.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit of the Holders
of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-3 Interest. The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (each of which is uncertificated) and
declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and of the Class R-3
Interest. The interests evidenced by the Class R-3 Interest, together with the
REMIC 3 Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest
in REMIC 3.
(c) In exchange for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and,
concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant to the written
request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, the Trustee
has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor,
the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing (together with
the Class R-3 Interest) the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 3.
(d) Concurrently with (i) the assignment and delivery to the
Trustee of REMIC 1 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the
Class A-RL Certificates) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to
Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.09(a); and (ii) the assignment and
delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 2 (including the Residual Interest therein
represented by the Class R-2 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee
thereof, pursuant to Section 2.09(b); and (iii) the assignment and delivery to
the Trustee of REMIC 3 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by
the Class R-3 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to
Section 2.09(c), the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor
executed by an officer of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement, any Subservicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Management
Agreement to the contrary, Wilshire shall not have any duty or obligation to
enforce the Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee
the activities of the Credit Risk Manager under the Credit Risk Management
Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by Wilshire pursuant to
a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager. In connection with such servicing
and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting
alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or
cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to,
the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or
waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any
Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages
(but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any
Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action
that is materially inconsistent with or materially prejudices the interests of
the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and
interests of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this
Agreement unless such action is specifically called for by the terms hereof. The
Trustee will provide a limited power of attorney to the Servicer, prepared by
the Servicer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, to permit the Servicer to
act on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement. The Servicer hereby
indemnifies the Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney. The
Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same
manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio
in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes
it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing
or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the
63
MERS(R) System, shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.05(a), the Servicer shall
not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan
that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final
regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a proposed
conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal
Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) which would cause any of
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the
Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor
and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such
documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and
deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such
documents and a written request signed by an authorized officer, the Depositor
and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the
Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on any Mortgaged
Property (to the extent the Servicer has been notified that such taxes or
assessments have not paid by the related Mortgagor or the owner or the servicer
of the related First Mortgage Loan), which advances shall be reimbursable in the
first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section
3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall be required to advance only to the extent that such advances, in
the good faith judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out
of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise out of the proceeds of
the related Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that such payments shall be
advanced within such time period required to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property by foreclosure of a tax or other lien. The costs incurred by the
Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added
to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of this
Section, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and
furnish to the Servicer and any Subservicer such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out their
servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to
the Servicer a power of attorney, to be completed in the form of Exhibit AA
hereto, to carry out such
64
duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any
Subservicers under such powers of attorney.
If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior
to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date,
then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior
senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:
(i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such
Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior
to such refinancing; and
(ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate
existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan
evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than
the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on
the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the
date of such refinancing; and
(iii) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not
subject to negative amortization.
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees that,
with respect to the Mortgagors of such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall
furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis.
SECTION 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on
behalf of the Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this
Agreement, provided that the Subservicer is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac seller/servicer in good standing. The Servicer may perform any of its
servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any
such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of
the Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those
of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer
engaged by the Servicer from its own funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled
to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an
"Outsourcer") that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer,
so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer's
obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related
Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by the Servicer of any
such Outsourcer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and the Servicer
65
shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Outsourcer
as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer, and the
Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Outsourcer from the Servicer's
own funds.
(b) At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right
of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the Collection
Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a), provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the
Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by
the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights
and responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The
Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to
terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from the Servicer's
own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the
Trust Fund, or the Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and its Subservicer,
the Servicer and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken
through the Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be
relieved of its obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and
shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as
if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and Outsourcer
for indemnification of the Servicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, by such
Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans that are received by a related Subservicer or Outsourcer,
as applicable, regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the
Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, to the Servicer.
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or an Outsourcer
shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or an Outsourcer, and the Servicer
alone, and the Depositor and the Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of the Depositor and Trustee or the Trust Fund to pay a Subservicer's
fees and expenses.
66
SECTION 3.03 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.04 Trustee to Act as Servicer.
(a) In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer
hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties
of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02
hereof.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement or substitute Subservicing Agreement and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and hereunder by the Servicer
and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(b) [reserved]
SECTION 3.05 Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection
Accounts; Certificate Account; Pre-Funding
Account; Capitalized Interest Account.
(a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and
interest on all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans
have become Liquidated Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall proceed in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments due under each of the
Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable to the extent
consistent with this Agreement and, consistent with such standard, with respect
to Escrow Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall ascertain and estimate Escrow
Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the
installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as
and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, the Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage
Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or
in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
provided, however, that the Servicer may not modify materially or permit any
Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan (unless such Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable),
including without limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage
Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection
with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with
Principal
67
Prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with the
terms of the Mortgage Loan), increase the principal balance, or extend the final
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, and, provided however, that in no event
shall such modification reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the
rate at which the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues and
provided, further, that any such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence granted to a Mortgagor by the Servicer in connection with its
servicing of the related First Mortgage Loan shall not be considered relevant to
a determination of whether the Servicer has acted consistently with the terms
and standards of this Agreement, so long as in the Servicer's determination such
action is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. In
the event of any such arrangement that permits the deferment of principal and
interest payment on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall make Advances on the
related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during
the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required
is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection
Accounts, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, titled "[Servicer's name],
in trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities
Corp., Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-1" or, if
established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer,
"[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name],
as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for
[Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in
[Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". Any funds deposited in a Collection
Account shall at all times be either invested in Eligible Investments or shall
be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds
deposited in a Collection Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.08.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account within
two Business Days of receipt and retain therein, the following collections
remitted by Subservicers or payments received by the Servicer and payments made
by the Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date, other than Scheduled Payments
due on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage
Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by
the related Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans;
68
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans including
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.09 (other than
proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Section 3.09);
(v) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01;
(vi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the Mortgage
Loans, the Compensating Interest Payment, if any, for the related
Prepayment Period;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
respect of net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to Section
3.11; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder
including all collected Prepayment Charges.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited
by the Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 3.05, the Servicer may deduct from amounts received
by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any
Scheduled Payment representing the applicable Servicing Fee. In the event that
the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any
time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection
Account to withdraw such amount from such Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be
accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other
institution maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts
deposited in error in such Collection Account. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made by it pursuant to this
Section. All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall be held in trust for
the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate
Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate
Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(viii);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.05(d) in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to
withdraw such amount from the Certificate
69
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction
may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. All funds
deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for
the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08(b). In no event shall the Trustee
incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of
the Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which a Collection Account, the
Certificate Account or the Pre-Funding Account is maintained shall either hold
such funds on deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein as directed
in writing by the Servicer (in the case of a Collection Account), the Trustee
(in the case of the Certificate Account) or the Depositor (in the case of the
Pre-Funding Account), in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
(i) in the case of a Collection Account, the second Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the Certificate
Account and the Pre-Funding Account, the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
its maturity. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such
balances or investment of funds on deposit in a Collection Account shall be for
the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to
it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in a Collection
Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall
promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the related Collection Account. The
Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in a
Collection Account or the Pre-Funding Account. All income and gain net of any
losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in
the Certificate Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate
Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances
or investment of funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be for the
benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it monthly.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the related Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall
give notice to the Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of
any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any
change thereof.
(f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Pre-Funding Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor
shall remit the Pre-Funding Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions
for such Subsequent Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(f), with respect to
the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall remit to the
Depositor the applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of the
purchase price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
70
If any funds remain in the Pre-Funding Account on May 24,
2005, to the extent they represent interest earnings on the amounts originally
deposited into the Pre-Funding Account, the Trustee shall distribute them to the
order of the Depositor. The remaining funds in the Pre-Funding Account shall be
transferred to the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Certificates, in accordance with the priorities set forth
herein, on the May 2005 Distribution Date.
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the
Depositor shall remit the Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for
deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Business Day prior to each
of the March 2005, April 2005 and May 2005 Distribution Dates, the Trustee shall
transfer from each Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement for such Distribution Date.
On each of the March 2005 and April 2005 Distribution Dates, the Overfunded
Interest Amount shall be withdrawn from the Capitalized Interest Account and
paid to the Depositor. Any funds remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account
immediately after the May 2005 Distribution Date shall be paid to the Depositor.
SECTION 3.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Accounts;
Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Accounts;
Payments of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and
not in violation of current law, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, each of which shall be an
Eligible Account, titled, "[Servicer's name], in trust for "Credit Suisse First
Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-1 and various mortgagors" or, if established and
maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer, "[Subservicer's name], in
trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name], as agent, trustee and/or
bailee of taxes and insurance custodial account for [Servicer's name], its
successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in [Servicer's name]
mortgage-backed pools". Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by
the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.06(b). The creation of any Escrow
Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit P-1 hereto,
in the case of an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter
agreement in the form of Exhibit P-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a
depository other than the Servicer. A copy of such certification shall be
furnished to the Depositor and Trustee.
(b) The Servicer shall deposit in its Escrow Account or
Accounts on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the related
Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such
items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and
71
(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds which are to
be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account
only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth
in Section 3.06(c). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid
on funds deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution,
other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the
Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on
escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be
non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such
purposes.
(c) Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be
made by the Servicer only:
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium
charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting
Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advances made
by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a related
Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in
excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) for transfer to the related Collection Account to reduce
the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
(v) for application to restore or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in
Section 3.09;
(vi) to pay to the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent
required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in such
Escrow Account;
(vii) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account on the
termination of this Agreement; and
(viii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow
Account by the Servicer.
(d) No later than the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain a sub-account of the Collection Account titled
"[Servicer's name], Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account in trust for the Holders
of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Home Equity Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-1". The Servicer shall, on each
72
Determination Date transfer from the Collection Account to the Simple Interest
Excess Sub-Account all Net Simple Interest Excess, if any, pursuant to Section
3.08(ix), and shall maintain a record of all such deposits.
(e) The Servicer shall withdraw amounts on deposit in the
Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account on each Determination Date for deposit to the
Certificate Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount on
deposit therein, and (ii) the Net Simple Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date.
(f) The Servicer shall remit to the Trustee which shall
thereupon distribute to the Class X-1 Certificateholder, based on the
information provided to it by the Servicer, 90% of the balance in the Simple
Interest Excess Sub-Account on the Distribution Date each year occurring in
February, commencing in February 2006. Such distributions shall be deemed to be
made on a first-in, first-out basis. In addition, the Servicer shall clear and
terminate the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account upon the termination of this
Agreement and retain any funds remaining therein.
(g) Amounts on deposit in the Simple Interest Excess
Sub-Account may be invested in Eligible Investments. All income and gain net of
any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in
the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer
as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly. The amount of any
net investment losses in the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account shall promptly
be deposited by the Servicer in such Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account.
SECTION 3.07 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans; Inspections.
(a) The Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee
reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this
Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the
Servicer.
(b) The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties as
often as deemed necessary by the Servicer in the Servicer's sole discretion, to
assure itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In
addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Servicer
shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The
Servicer shall keep a written or electronic report of each such inspection.
SECTION 3.08 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection
Accounts and Certificate Account.
The Servicer may (and in the case of clause (viii) below,
shall) from time to time make withdrawals from the related Collection Account
for the following purposes:
73
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained by the Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is
entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to the Servicer, as
additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to such Collection Account;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made
by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii)
being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of
which any such Advance was made (including late recoveries of payments,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, amounts representing
proceeds of other insurance policies, if any, covering the related
Mortgaged Property, rental and other income from REO Property and
proceeds of any purchase or repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan to
the extent deposited in the Collection Account);
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable
Advance;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, the Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause
(A) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received
on such Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or
interest (including, without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds and
Insurance Proceeds, amounts representing proceeds of other insurance
policies, if any, covering the related Mortgaged Property, rental and
other income from REO Property and proceeds of any purchase or
repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan with respect to such Mortgage
Loan) respecting which any such advance was made and (B) for unpaid
Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon
after the date of such purchase;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03
hereof;
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in such Collection
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on or prior to the Servicer Cash Remittance Date, to
withdraw an amount equal to the Available Funds (other than clause (vi)
thereof) plus any related Expense Fees (other than the Servicing Fee)
for such Distribution Date and any Prepayment Charges received in
respect of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the collection of funds
included in the definition of "Available Funds" and remit such amount
to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account;
(ix) to deposit in the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account any
amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.06(d);
74
(x) to clear and terminate such Collection Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and
(xi) to invest funds in certain Eligible Investments and to
transfer funds to another Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan basis for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Prior to
making any withdrawal from a Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their
respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account
for distributions to the Certificateholders and the Credit Risk Manager, if
applicable, in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the
amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may
from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and any investment income
earned for the related Distribution Date;
(ii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer for deposit to the
Collection Account any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and
not required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Mortgage
Impairment Insurance; Claims; Restoration of
Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended
coverage on all of the related Mortgage Loans, which policy shall provide
coverage in an amount equal to the amount at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
and (B) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to
prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming co-insurer. Any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan (for
the avoidance of doubt, remaining after application of any such amounts to any
related First Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the related Collection
Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08. Such policy may contain
a
75
deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a standard hazard insurance policy,
and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
the Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account at the time of such
loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause which is in excess of a deductible under a standard hazard
insurance policy, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer's funds, without
reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to
be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement
from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee. In
connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the
related Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or
to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the related Collection Account
(subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08). Any costs incurred by the
Servicer in maintaining such insurance shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a
Servicing Advance out of payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this paragraph, the Servicer shall be required to pay the costs of maintaining
any insurance contemplated by this Section 3.09 only to the extent that such
advances, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable.
The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior
to releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with
the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance
Proceeds in excess of $10,000:
(i) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent
verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required
approvals with respect thereto;
(ii) the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve
the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to
requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
and
(iii) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place
the Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account, if any.
If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the
Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such
a claim in the name of the Trustee.
76
SECTION 3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any
"due-on-sale" provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and
to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is
about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and
whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage
Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale"
clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of
such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related
Primary Insurance Policy, if any or, if consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, the Servicer believes the collections and other recoveries in respect
of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected to be maximized if the
Mortgage Loan were not accelerated.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause or, if any of the other
conditions set forth in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph apply, the
Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the
person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable
thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law to
require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and
the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a
substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the
purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any
transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note, including without limitation,
the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage
Loan or the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in this Section 3.10, in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person
is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement
to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or
if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and
shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other
instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any
77
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Together
with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument
delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this Section 3.10 have been met in connection therewith. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for
entering into an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans;
Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) (i) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such
of the related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments. With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue
in default, the Servicer will decide whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged
Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, (ii) write off the unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans as bad debt, (iii) take a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (iv) accept a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an
amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a
sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short refinancing
(a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount
contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the
Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (v) arrange for a
repayment plan, or (vi) agree to a modification in accordance with this
Agreement. In connection with such decision, the Servicer shall take such action
as (i) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a
similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be
consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) the Servicer shall determine
consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the
Trustee and Certificateholders, provided, that actions taken by the Servicer in
connection with its servicing of the related First Mortgage Loan shall not be
considered relevant to a determination of whether the Servicer has met the
standard set forth in this clause (iii), so long as in the Servicer's
determination such action is not materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the insurer
under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or
towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine in its sole
discretion (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the
78
related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation
Proceeds and as provided in Section 3.08(iv)(A).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one hundred
twenty (120) days delinquent, the Servicer shall obtain a broker's
price opinion with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and shall
use all reasonable efforts to obtain a total indebtedness balance
(including, but not limited to, unpaid principal, interest, escrows,
taxes and expenses) for any related senior lien. The cost of obtaining
any such broker's price opinion shall be reimbursable to the Servicer
as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) or (iv). After
obtaining the related broker's price opinion, the Servicer will
determine whether any Significant Net Recovery is possible through
foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged
Property. If the Servicer determines that (x) no Significant Net
Recovery is possible or (y) the potential Net Recoveries are
anticipated to be an amount, determined by the Servicer in its good
faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is
insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other
liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it may, at its
discretion, charge off such delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with
subsections (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) below.
(iii) With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the Servicer
determines based on the broker's price opinion obtained under paragraph
(a)(ii) above and other relevant considerations that (x) no Significant
Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other
liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property or (y) the potential Net
Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the Servicer
in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating
circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through
foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it
will be obligated to charge off the related Mortgage Loan at the time
such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent. Once a Mortgage Loan
has been charged off, the Servicer will discontinue making Advances,
the Servicer will not be entitled to any additional servicing
compensation (except as described in paragraphs(a)(ii) or (a)(iv) of
this Section 3.11), the Charged Off Loan will give rise to a Realized
Loss, and the Servicer will follow the procedures described in
paragraph (a)(iv) below. If the Servicer determines that (x) a
Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or
other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Net
Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the Servicer
in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating
circumstances, that is sufficient to warrant proceeding through
foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, the
Servicer may continue to make Advances or Servicing Advances on the
related Mortgage Loan that has become 180 days delinquent and, will
notify the Credit Risk Manager of that decision.
(iv) Any Mortgage Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan may
continue to be serviced by Wilshire for the Certificateholders using
Wilshire Special Servicing. Wilshire will accrue, but not be entitled
to any Servicing Fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with
such Charged Off Loans, except to the extent of funds available from
the
79
aggregate amount of recoveries on all Charged Off Loans. Such aggregate
recovery amounts on Charged Off Loans shall be paid to Wilshire first,
as reimbursement of any outstanding and unpaid expenses, and second, as
any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees. Wilshire will only be entitled
to previously accrued Servicing Fees and expenses on any such Charged
Off Loans. Wilshire will not be entitled to receive any future
unaccrued Servicing Fees or expenses from collections on such Charged
Off Loans. Any Charged Off Loan serviced by Wilshire using Wilshire
Special Servicing shall be so serviced until the Release Date described
below. Any Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans received prior to
the Release Date will be included in Available Funds.
On the date (the "Release Date") which is no more than six
months after the date on which Wilshire begins servicing any Charged Off Loans
using Wilshire Special Servicing, unless specific Net Recoveries are anticipated
by Wilshire on a particular Charged Off Loan (in which case the Release Date
will be delayed until all such specific anticipated Net Recoveries are
received), such Charged Off Loan will be released from the Trust Fund, will no
longer be an asset of any REMIC, and will be transferred to the Class X-2
Certificateholders, without recourse, and thereafter (i) those Holders will be
entitled to any amounts subsequently received in respect of any such Released
Loans, (ii) the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may designate
any servicer to service any such Released Loan and (iii) the Majority in
Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may sell any such Released Loan to a third
party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if at any time after a Mortgage
Loan has been Charged Off and prior to six months after the date on which
Wilshire begins servicing such Charged Off Loan using Wilshire Special
Servicing, Wilshire determines that there will not be any Net Recoveries on such
Charged Off Loan under any circumstances, Wilshire may release such Charged Off
Loan to the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder in accordance with
the provisions set forth in the previous sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures described above
in this subsection 3.11(a)(iv) relating to the treatment of Charged Off Loans
may be modified at any time at the discretion of the Majority in Interest Class
X-1 Certificateholder, with the consent of Wilshire, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in no event shall the Majority in
Interest Class X-1 Certificateholder change the fee structure relating to
Charged Off Loans in a manner that would cause fees to be paid to Wilshire other
than from recoveries on Charged Off Loans.
The Trustee shall track collections received by Wilshire on
any Charged Off Loans based upon loan level data provided to the Trustee by
Wilshire on each Servicer Data Remittance Date in a report in the form of
Exhibit U hereto, identifying the Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period
that Wilshire will continue to service until the related Release Date using
Wilshire Special Servicing. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall verify,
based on the recovery and expense information provided by Wilshire on the
related Servicer Data Remittance Date, (i) the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees to be paid to Wilshire and expenses to be reimbursed to
Wilshire on such Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period and (ii) the
amount of Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans for such Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, without independent verification, on the
80
loan level data provided by Wilshire that identifies the recovery amounts and
the outstanding and unpaid expenses on any Charged Off Loan in order to verify
the amount in clause (ii) of the previous sentence. The Trustee will be
responsible for independently verifying the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence
to be paid to Wilshire.
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to
believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, an
environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property conducted
by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for by the Servicer. Upon
completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the
Trustee with a written report of environmental inspection. It is
understood by the parties hereto that any cost related to such
inspection shall be advanced by the Servicer and will be deemed a
Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.08
hereof.
(vi) In the event the environmental inspection report
indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or
toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the
estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the
environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing Advances
made by the Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value
of the Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up
and foreclosure costs and Servicing Advances are less than or equal to
the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer may,
in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up
costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the
Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer,
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the
related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. In the
event the Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances
made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the related
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, the Servicer shall
have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(b) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be taken in the name of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or in the case
of a successor trustee, the name of such successor trustee), the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of Home Equity Mortgage Trust Series 2005-1,
or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be
placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not
in its individual capacity. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property,
the Servicer shall in
81
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its
own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality
as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer may rent such property, as the
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property on such
terms and conditions and for such periods as the Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
furnish to the Trustee on or before each Distribution Date a statement with
respect to any REO Property covering the liquidation thereof during the previous
calendar month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as
the Trustee shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The
net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the related Collection Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding
required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax
reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation
of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and
information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the
same to the Trustee for filing.
To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a
reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property),
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount
required above. Any costs incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such insurance
shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of payments by
the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Servicer shall
be required to pay the costs of maintaining any insurance contemplated by this
Section 3.11(b) only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged
Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent
default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of
such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year
82
period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged
Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or
(ii) the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such
three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner
contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year
period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. The Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account, as a Servicing
Advance, for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund
in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from
such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of
whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary
to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds
of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such
foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on the Mortgage Loan.
(d) The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties,
net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any
property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of
applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal and interest on
the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such
Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all
purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest
on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Collection
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar
month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal
of the related Mortgage Loan.
Wilshire shall not acquire any Mortgaged Property on behalf of
any REMIC created hereunder in connection with a default or imminent default on
a Foreclosure Restricted Loan, if acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property
underlying the loan would cause the adjusted basis, for federal income tax
purposes, of these Mortgaged Properties owned by the related REMIC after
foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC other than
"qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the
related REMIC. If the adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in
foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the
83
related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" with
the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, exceed 1.0% of the adjusted basis of
the assets of the related REMIC immediately after the distribution of principal
and interest on any Distribution Date, Wilshire will dispose of enough of such
Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, for cash or otherwise, so that the adjusted
basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets
owned by the related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than
1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC.
(e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as
well as any income from an REO Property, if applicable, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the
Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related
Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) that
related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the
extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been
reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate
equal to the related Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate, to
the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.14.
(f) [reserved].
(g) The Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder, at
its option, may (but is not obligated to) repurchase from the Trust Fund, (a)
any related Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by three or more
Scheduled Payments or (b) any related Mortgage Loan with respect to which there
has been initiated legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the
related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially. If it elects to
make any such repurchase, the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan. The Majority in Interest Class X-2
Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service any such Mortgage Loan
purchased from the Trust.
SECTION 3.12 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) by delivering, or causing to be
delivered a "Request for Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit M. Upon
receipt of such request, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be)
shall within three Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer, and the Trustee shall within three Business Days of the Servicer's
direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed
of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such
84
instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the
Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation
thereon. The Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration
on the MERS(R) System of such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any
and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor to the extent
permitted by law and otherwise shall constitute a Servicing Advance. From time
to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood
insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes
of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall,
within three Business Days of delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the
case may be) of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the
further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File
or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the
case may be) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the
related Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement,
the Servicer shall, if applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents (which, if acceptable by the related court,
may be copies) necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Servicer from time to time required to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trustee for
any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the
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 Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in a Collection Account,
shall be held by the 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.
85
The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage
File or any funds that are deposited in the related Collection Account,
Certificate Account or any related Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise
are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien (other than the lien of a related First
Mortgage Loan), 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 Servicer shall be entitled to set off
against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and
payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14 Servicing Fee.
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from interest
payments on the related Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee for each
Mortgage Loan, less any amounts in respect of its Servicing Fee payable by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(vi). The Servicing Fee is limited to, and
payable solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Payments collected
by the Servicer or as otherwise provided in Section 3.08.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary
Income shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any
Subservicing Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for in this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.15 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate
Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and
such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the related
Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by
the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer
to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require the Servicer to
collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not
generate in its usual course of business.
SECTION 3.16 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar
year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b)
with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report on
Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
86
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, 15
calendar days before the date on which the Depositor's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission (or, in each case, if such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the
performance of the Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based
on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the
Servicer to cure such default.
SECTION 3.17 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar
year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b)
with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report on
Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, 15 calendar days before the date on
which the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in
accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
(or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), the Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally or
regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or any affiliate thereof)
which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to
furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such
firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of
mortgage loans which the Servicer is servicing, which may include the related
Mortgage Loans or similar mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such
examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved
Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, nothing has come
to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been
conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for (a) such
exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such other
exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In addition, the Servicer
shall disclose to such firm all significant deficiencies relating to the
Servicer's compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in this
Agreement. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable
statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for
HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs
(rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public accountants
with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be
provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer's
expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
87
SECTION 3.18 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its
own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting
in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or
papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans ("Servicer Employees"). The amount
of coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy shall be at least equal to the coverage maintained by the Servicer in
order to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac to service loans for it or
otherwise in an amount as is commercially available at a cost that is generally
not regarded as excessive by industry standards. No provision of this Section
3.18 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set
forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance
policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx
Mae. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered
to the Trustee a certificate of insurance of the insurer and the surety
including a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond
and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified
without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
The Depositor appoints The Murrayhill Company as Credit Risk
Manager. For and on behalf of the Depositor, and the Trustee, the Credit Risk
Manager will provide the Depositor with reports and recommendations concerning
Mortgage Loans that are past due, as to which there has been commencement of
foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise of remedies
which are in default, as to which obligor is the subject of bankruptcy,
receivership, or an arrangement of creditors, or as to which have become REO
Properties. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information
provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management
Agreement and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer for all
information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) and
loan level information and data relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
If the Credit Risk Manager is no longer able to perform its duties hereunder,
the Depositor shall terminate the Credit Risk Manager and cause the appointment
of a successor Credit Risk Manager. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk
Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor
shall give written notice thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee and
each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit
Risk Manager pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall not become effective until the
appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.
SECTION 3.20 Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk
Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any
liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Depositor for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any
88
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information
provided by the Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement or of errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit
Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its
performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Credit Risk Manager
Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information
furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement in
the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
SECTION 3.21 Advance Facility.
(a) Wilshire is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or
other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility") under which (1)
Wilshire assigns or pledges to another Person (an "Advancing Person") the
Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or
Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all
Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by Wilshire pursuant to
this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party
is required before Wilshire may enter into an Advance Facility; provided,
however, that the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) shall be required before Wilshire may cause to be
outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with respect to Advances
or more than one Advance Facility with respect to Servicing Advances.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing
Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer's
behalf, Wilshire shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement,
and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance
Facility. If Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an
Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances or
Servicing Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this
Agreement, then Wilshire may elect by providing written notice to the Trustee
not to be permitted to reimburse itself for Advances and/or Servicing Advances,
as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, but following any
such election Wilshire shall be required to include amounts collected that would
otherwise be retained by Wilshire to reimburse it for previously unreimbursed
Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and/or previously unreimbursed
Servicing Advances ("Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts" and together with
Advance Reimbursement Amounts, "Reimbursement Amounts") (in each case to the
extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility) in
the remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent of
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Servicer Cash
Remittance Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts
be included in Interest Remittance Amounts or Principal Remittance Amounts or
distributed to Certificateholders. Wilshire, if making the election set forth
herein, shall report to the Trustee the portions of the Reimbursement Amounts
that consist of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.
89
(b) If Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility and makes the
election set forth in Section 3.21(a), Wilshire and the related Advancing Person
shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an
"Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with written payment
instructions as to where to remit Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing
Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Reimbursement
Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution
Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable Reimbursement
Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to a trustee or custodian
(an "Advance Facility Trustee") designated in the Advance Facility Notice. An
Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of
Wilshire and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility
Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.21 shall
cease to be applicable when all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by an
Advancing Person, and when all Advances and Servicing Advances (the rights to be
reimbursed for which have been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person), have
been repaid to the related Advancing Person in full.
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in
respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage
Loans for which Wilshire would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance
with Section 3.08(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, assuming Wilshire had made the
related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions
of Section 4.01. The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect
to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely
without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the
Servicer's report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing
Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from Wilshire
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(viii). Wilshire shall maintain and
provide to any successor Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis
as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such
information provided by Wilshire and the successor Servicer shall not be liable
for any errors in such information.
(d) An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge
of the rights to be reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or
whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification
of a Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.
(e) With respect to any Advance Facility pursuant to which
Wilshire has made the election set forth in Section 3.21(a), the documentation
establishing any Advance Facility shall require that Reimbursement Amounts
distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to outstanding
unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with
respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis. Such
documentation shall also require Wilshire to provide to the related Advancing
Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan information with respect to each
Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee to such Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing
Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO
90
allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
Wilshire shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by
Wilshire to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not
been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(f) If Wilshire enters into an Advance Facility, Wilshire
shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust and any successor Servicer, as
applicable, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages
resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person, except to the extent
that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the successor
Servicer or the Trustee, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee to
remit funds as required by Section 3.21(b). Any amendment to this Section 3.21
or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate
to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this
Section 3.21, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor
Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Seller and Wilshire without
the consent of any Certificateholder notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 10.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
SECTION 4.01 Advances by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit in a Collection Account an amount
equal to (i) with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than the Simple Interest
Mortgage Loans, all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less
the Servicing Fee Rate) which were due but not received on the related Mortgage
Loans during the applicable Due Period and (ii) with respect to the Simple
Interest Mortgage Loans, 30 day's interest on each such Mortgage Loan for which
the Scheduled Payment was due but not received during the applicable Due Period,
less the Servicing Fee; provided however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan
that is delinquent on its maturity date, the Servicer will not be required to
advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make
Advances in accordance with this Section 4.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan
in an amount equal to an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due
based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan (with
interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate). The Servicer's
obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will continue
through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such
Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in
the judgment of the Servicer, been completely liquidated; provided however, that
such obligation with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Servicer
determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances; provided that the Servicer will be
required to make Advances until the earlier of (i) the time at which the related
Mortgage Loan becomes 120 days delinquent or (ii) the time at which the Servicer
determines that such Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Servicer determines that any such
Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee
with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination.
If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer
shall on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
immediately following the related Determination Date either (i) deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii)
cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account
that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer to make such
Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and
(ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a
Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the
Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account on or before
any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due. The Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances
of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08.

to REMIC 2 on account of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class A-RL
Certificates, as the case may be:

thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and second,
to Holders of Uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests LTI-1, LTI-S and

provided, however, that for the first three Distribution Dates, such amounts
constituting Available Funds relating to the Initial Mortgage Loans shall be

to REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class A-R
Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest), as the case may be:

such Distribution Date, to Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interests MTI-AA,
MTI-A-1, MTI-M-1, MTI-M-2, MTI-M-3, MTI-M-4, MTI-M-5, MTI-M-6, MTI-M-7,

rata, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for
such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof
remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as
Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest
MTI-ZZ shall be reduced when the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Amount
is less than the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the
lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the REMIC 2 Regular
Interest MTI-ZZ Maximum Interest Deferral Amount and such amount will
be payable to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-A-1, REMIC 2
Regular Interest MTI-M-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-M-2, REMIC 2
Regular Interest MTI-M-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-M-4, REMIC 2

Principal Balance of the REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-ZZ shall be
increased by such amount;
(ii) second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interests, in
an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such
Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i)
above and, in the case of distributions made pursuant to Section

Distribution Date, allocated as follows:

REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-A-1, MTI-M-1, MTI-M-2, MTI-M-3,
MTI-M-4, MTI-M-5, MTI-M-6, MTI-M-7, MTI-M-8, MTI-M-9, MTI-B-1

such REMIC 2 Regular Interests are reduced to zero; and
second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest MTI-ZZ,
1.00% of such remainder, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of such REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
and
(c) any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class
A-R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest).
SECTION 4.08 [Reserved].
SECTION 4.09 Prepayment Charges.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the event of a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may not
waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable
default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing similar
mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment
of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the
value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)(A) the
enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or
(2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by
applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may waive a Prepayment
Charge in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan. If the Servicer has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge
relating to a Principal Prepayment, other than as provided
103
above, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the next Distribution Date, for deposit into the
Certificate Account the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion
thereof as had been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; provided, however, the Servicer shall not have any obligation to
pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge under this Section 4.09 if
the Servicer did not have a copy of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer
requested via email a copy of the same from the Trustee and the Trustee failed
to provide such a copy within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request.
If the Servicer has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge for any
reason, it shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall include such
information in any monthly reports it provides the Trustee. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Charge
payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is different from the amount of the
Prepayment Charge set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or other information
provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall rely conclusively on the Prepayment
Charge as set forth under the terms of the Mortgage Note. To the extent the
Prepayment Charge payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the
amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or other
information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall not have any liability
or obligation with respect to such difference, and in addition shall not have
any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment
Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate
or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
SECTION 4.10 Servicer to Cooperate.
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the information set
forth in Exhibit Z hereto in such form as the Trustee shall reasonably request
with respect to each Mortgage Loan no later than twelve noon on the Servicer
Data Remittance Date to enable the Trustee to calculate the amounts to be
distributed to each Class of Certificates and otherwise perform its
distribution, accounting and reporting requirements hereunder.
104
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached
hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in
the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related
Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate,
(B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C)
Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less
than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer upon the written
order of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the written direction
of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to
facilitate transfers.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed
under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any
transfer of any Certificate, or any interest therein, other than to require
delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article
V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of
Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall have no liability
for transfers, including transfers made
105
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or beneficial owners of the Certificates made in
violation of applicable restrictions.
SECTION 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below
and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless
such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except
in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any
affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor
Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either (A)
Exhibit K (the "Investment Letter") provided that all of the Class X
Certificates of a Class shall be transferred to one investor or the Depositor
otherwise consents to such transfer, or (B) Exhibit L (the "Rule
106
144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be
made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and
the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the 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
unless the Trustee and the Depositor shall have received either (i) a
representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is
a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L, or Exhibit I, as
applicable), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code (a "Plan"), nor a person acting on behalf of a Plan nor using the
assets of a Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) in the case of any such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf
of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the
Trustee and the Depositor for the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicer and on which they may rely, to the effect that the purchase or holding
of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust
Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in
this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or
on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
No transfer of a Class B Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee and the Depositor shall have received a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's
and the Depositor's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in
107
the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L, as applicable), to the effect that either
(1) such transferee is not a Plan, nor a person acting on behalf of a Plan nor
using the assets of a Plan to effect such transfer, (2)(i) the transferee is an
insurance company and the source of funds used to purchase such Class B
Certificates is an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined
in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60), (ii) the conditions set forth
in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied and (iii) there is no
Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and
liabilities for contracts held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other Plans
maintained by the same employer (or any affiliate thereof, as defined in PTCE
95-60) or by the same employee organization exceed 10% of the total of all
reserves and liabilities of such general account (as determined under PTCE
95-60) as of the date of the acquisition of such Class B Certificates) or (iii)
the transferee is a Plan and has provided 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 and the Depositor for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer and on which they may
rely, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class B Certificates or
interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability.
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 and the Depositor
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of
the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I.
108
(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 and Transferor Certificate. 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.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set
forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions
of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to
Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the Seller or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to
ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer
109
of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and
opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer
shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor, with the
consent of the Depository Participants, advises the Trustee in writing that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least
51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise
the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the
Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
110
In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at
its option request a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner's
Percentage Interest in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such
request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of
the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant
with directions for the Trustee to exchange or cause the exchange of the
Certificate Owner's interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent
Percentage Interest in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of instruction from the Depository directing the Trustee to effect such
exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the Class of
Certificates and the Certificate Balance being exchanged, the Depository
Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered holder of
and delivery instructions for the Definitive Certificates and any other
information reasonably required by the Trustee), (i) the Trustee shall instruct
the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant's account by the
aggregate Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificates, (ii) the Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and
delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a Definitive Certificate
evidencing such Certificate Owner's Percentage Interest in such Class of
Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall execute and authenticate a new
Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the aggregate Class Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates by the amount of the Definitive
Certificates.
None of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of any instruction required under this
section and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate
inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership,
111
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 Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the 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

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 the Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of

Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the

THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the
Sellers and the Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall each be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the
Seller or the Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer will each keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof or as a
federally chartered savings bank organized under the laws of the United States
and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated into another Person in accordance with the following paragraph.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be a
party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or
the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or
surviving Person with respect to a merger or consolidation of the Servicer shall
be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved company in good
standing. In addition to the foregoing, there must be delivered to the Trustee a
letter from each of the Rating Agencies, to the effect that such merger,
conversion or consolidation of the Servicer will not result in a
disqualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then current rating of any of
the Certificates.
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
113
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such
Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or
protect the Depositor, the Seller, the 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 Seller, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Seller or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee,
or the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund out of the Collection
Account and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of
the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its
respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller
or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account. The Servicer's right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer as set forth herein.
SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
(a) Subject to Section 6.04(b) below, the Servicer shall not
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a)(i) upon
appointment, pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02, of a successor servicer
which (x) has a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and (y) is a Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac approved company in good standing and (ii) receipt by the Trustee
of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will
not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then current
rating of any of the Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination
under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer
shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
obligations hereunder and the requirements of Section 7.02 have been satisfied.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Seller's request, so
long as it is the owner of the servicing rights, Wilshire shall resign upon the
Seller's selection and appointment of a successor servicer; provided that the

been eliminated or cured, within 30 days (or, if such breach is not
capable of being cured within 30 days and provided that the Servicer
believes in good faith that such breach can be cured and is diligently
pursuing the cure thereof, within 90 days) after the date on which

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or by the Depositor;
or
(iv) failure by the Servicer to maintain, if required, its

have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
consecutive days; or
(vi) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment

(vii) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance, to the
extent required under Section 4.01 in the manner and at the time
required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this Agreement and
after receipt of notice from the Trustee, which failure continues
unremedied after the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date; or
(viii) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to

Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of the
Servicer to make any Advance, if an Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (viii) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee
may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by
notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its
rights as a Certificateholder hereunder (and the rights to reimburse itself for
Advances and Servicing Advances previously made pursuant to this Agreement, the
right to accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and the rights under Section 6.03
with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). If an Event of
Default results from the failure of the Servicer to make an Advance, the Trustee
shall prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the succeeding calendar month,
by notice in writing to the Servicer and the
116
Depositor (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the Distribution Date
occurring in the succeeding calendar month and in and to the related Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder and the rights to reimburse itself for Advances and Servicing Advances
previously made pursuant to this Agreement, the right to accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees and the rights under Section 6.03 with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination. If an Event of Default described in clause
(ix) of this Section occurs, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Seller,
by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement (other than its right to
reimburse itself for Advances and Servicing Advances previously made, as
provided in Section 3.08, the right to accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and the
rights under Section 6.03 with respect to events occurring prior to such
termination) and shall appoint as successor Servicer the entity selected by the
Seller in accordance with Section 7.02; provided the Seller shall first furnish
to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such
successor will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates.
Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice of
termination, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee or its nominee. Upon written request from the Trustee, the
Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated
by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor's possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement
or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer's
sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such successor
in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all cash amounts, net of unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees which shall at the time be credited
by the Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, as successor Servicer,
shall thereupon make any Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise.
SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement or the resignation of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the
extent provided herein, be the successor to the Servicer, but only in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement, and not in any other, and the
transactions set forth herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the 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
117
shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account, provided that the
terminated Servicer shall nonetheless be entitled to payment or reimbursement as
provided in Section 3.08 to the extent that such payment or reimbursement
relates to the period prior to termination of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance
with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to
4.01 hereof, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor
to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor
to the Servicer shall be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac
approved seller/servicer for first and second loans in good standing, which has
a net worth of at least $10,000,000, which is willing to service the related
Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee
an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption
by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under
Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section
7.01 hereunder), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified, withdrawn or downgraded as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject
to the limitations described herein, act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in
performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by
the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or
providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee if
the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it
is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute
and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
118
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The
predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this subsection.
Any successor to the Servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to
the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of
each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
119

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it

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,

not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.

shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of
the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to
have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any
matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

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
120
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party
or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers
or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers
or accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
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

it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, 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;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, affiliates, accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance

hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that

liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of
the investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an

121
(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.
SECTION 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes
no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the
MERS(R) System, other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
countersignature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
SECTION 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and their affiliates, with the same rights
as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder,
shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution
Date prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 an amount equal to
the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor
and the Servicer, to the extent such indemnity related to the failure of the
Servicer to perform its servicing obligations in accordance with this Agreement,
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal
action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Custodial Agreement, (c) the
Certificates, or (d) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder,
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax
or information return prepared by the Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants and agrees,
except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and
except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or
122
reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of
the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts
or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with
preparing any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine
ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as
Trustee, Registrar or agent for the Tax Matters Person hereunder or for any
other expenses.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and
Custodian.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and
its affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such
entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer other
than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
SECTION 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor,
the Seller, the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the
date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation
is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with
Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no
successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or removed Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
123
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and the
Seller 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 shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer and the Seller, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the successor trustee. All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee
in connection with the removal of the Trustee without cause shall be reimbursed
to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
124
Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of
any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
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 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
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust
Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
125
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and
co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of 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 Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC
elections are to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to each such segregated
pool of assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the Trust Fund
Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees
that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent)
for the Tax Matters Person and on behalf of the Trust Fund and that in such
capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a
timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
returns for each taxable year
126
with respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 containing such information
and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or
local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in
such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing
Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms
8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and
telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact
for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information
as may be required by such form, and update such information at the time or
times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections
that the assets of each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 be treated as a REMIC on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if
necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or
other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in
which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the
reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to
the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its
control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3; (h) pay, from
the sources specified in the fourth paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount
of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on the Trust Fund prior to its termination when and as the same
shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or
any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure
that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records
relating to the Trust Fund, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of
the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may
be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or
audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment
as to any taxable year of the Trust Fund, enter into settlement agreements with
any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to
any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust Fund in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
To the extent that they are under its control, the Servicer
shall conduct matters relating to the assets of each REMIC at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to
127
maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions. The Servicer shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action
that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or
REMIC 3.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that
the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes
to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust Fund as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by
(i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer or
the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer or the Seller of any of their obligations
under this Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or
results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Servicer or Seller fails to honor its obligations under
the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts
otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
4.02.
Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any
arrangement by which any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 will receive a fee or
other compensation for services nor permit any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to
receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 8.12 Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the
Depositor any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and
the Depositor shall sign and the Trustee shall file (via XXXXX) such Forms on
behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited
128
power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the
Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year during which the
Closing Date occurs (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form
10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits, the
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.16 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.17, in each case to the extent
they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to any failure to properly or timely prepare or
file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability
or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or
willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit W (the "Depositor Certification"), which shall be
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this Section 8.12.
(c) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which
the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the
Trustee shall sign a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X (the
"Trustee Certification") for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers,
directors and affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the
Depositor Certification. In addition, the Trustee shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Depositor within the
meaning of the Securities Act and its officers, directors and affiliates from
and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this
Section 8.12 or any inaccuracy made in the Trustee Certification. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8.12(c) is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Trustee shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on
the other. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the
Trustee's performance of its obligations under this Section 8.12 in order to
perform its obligations under Section 8.12(b) above.
(d) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which
the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
129
preceding Business Day), the Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate for the prior calendar year in substantially
the form of Exhibit Y to this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and each Person, if any, who "controls"
the Depositor or the Trustee within the meaning of the Securities Act and their
respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may
sustain arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of the
Servicer to deliver or caused to be delivered when required any Officer's
Certificate pursuant to this Section 8.12(d), or (ii) any material misstatement
or omission contained in any Officer's Certificate provided pursuant to this
Section 8.12(d). If an event occurs that would otherwise result in an
indemnification obligation under clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8.12(d) by the Servicer is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Servicer
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or Trustee on the
one hand and the Servicer on the other. The Servicer acknowledges that the
Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer's performance of its
obligations under this Agreement in order to perform their respective
obligations under this Section 8.12.
(e) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall
promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or
information.
(f) If the Commission issues additional interpretative
guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in
applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the
allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section
8.12, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, Servicer and
Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 8.12
in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment
of this Section 8.12. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with
Section 10.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and may result in a
change in the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust under the
Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, Servicer and Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 8.12
that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
(g) Prior to January 31 of the first year in which the Trustee
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15D
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
130
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the rights, obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereunder with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the
earliest of:
(a) the purchase by the Optional Termination Holder of all
Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining at the price equal to the greater
of (I) the sum of (A) 100% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance (other than in
respect of REO Property) plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Rate, (B) with respect to any REO Property, the lesser of
(x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two
independent valuations completed by two independent companies selected by the
Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal Balance
of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (C) any remaining
unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees payable to the
Servicer and any unreimbursed Advances (made by the Trustee as successor
Servicer), Trustee Fees and expenses payable to the Trustee (the sum of (A), (B)
and (C), collectively, the "Par Value") and (II) the Fair Market Value;
(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; and
(c) the purchase by the Auction Purchaser of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any remaining Mortgage Loan (the
"Trust Collateral"), in each case as described below.
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 repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the
REO Properties at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten
percent of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
131
If the Optional Termination Holder has not exercised its
purchase option described above, on any Distribution Date on or after the date
on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the
appraised value of the REO Properties at the time of the purchase is less than
five percent of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date (the
"Auction Date"), the Trustee shall solicit, or cause to be solicited, good faith
bids for the Trust Collateral from at least three institutions that are regular
purchasers and/or sellers in the secondary market of residential whole mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. If the Trustee receives at least three bids
for the Trust Collateral, and one of such bids is equal to or greater than the
Par Value, the Trustee shall sell the Trust Collateral to the highest bidder
(the "Auction Purchaser") at the price offered by the Auction Purchaser (the
"Mortgage Loan Purchase Price") and following such sale shall have no further
liability or responsibility therefor. If the Trustee receives less than three
bids, or does not receive any bid that is equal to or greater than the Par
Value, the Trustee shall continue conducting auctions every six months until the
earlier of (a) the completion of a successful auction and (b) the Optional
Termination Holder exercises its purchase option. Only expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the solicitation of bids for a successful auction
described in this paragraph shall be payable to the Trustee, out of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Price received in connection with such successful auction, as
described in Section 9.02 hereof; provided, however that any indemnification
rights available to the Trustee under this Agreement in connection with any
auctions will not be limited by this sentence.
SECTION 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate
Account, the Trustee shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Optional Termination Holder above elects to terminate
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 or the Auction Purchaser purchases the
Trust Collateral pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date
notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders such Person shall
notify the Servicer and the Trustee of the date the Optional Termination Holder
or the Auction Purchaser intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the
applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th
day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of
such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount
of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which
such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to each Rating
Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
132
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause the final distribution to the Certificateholders of each
Class on the final Distribution Date to be made in accordance with the
priorities of Section 4.02. On the final Distribution Date, the
Overcollateralization Amount shall be distributed to the Class X-1 Certificates
in accordance with Section 4.02(b)(iv)(O) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the final Distribution Date has occurred as a result of the Optional
Termination Holder's purchase of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a) or
the purchase of the Trust Collateral by the Auction Purchaser pursuant to
Section 9.01(c), all amounts, if any, in excess of the Par Value shall be
distributed by the Trustee directly to the Class A-RL Certificateholders. All
amounts described in the definition of "Par Value" payable to the Trustee shall
be paid to the Trustee from the proceeds of an optional termination or from the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Price received in connection with a successful auction,
as applicable, prior to any distributions to Certificateholders.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Class A-R Certificateholders and Class A-RL Certificateholders shall be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain
subject hereto and the Trustee shall be discharged from all further liability
with respect to the Certificates and this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Optional Termination Holder
exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as provided in
Section 9.01 or the Auction Purchaser purchases the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 9.01, at such time as the Mortgage Loans are so purchased, the Trust
Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the Depositor, to the effect that the failure to comply with
the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of
the Code, or (ii) cause REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final
Distribution Date set forth in the notice
given by the Trustee under Section 9.02, the
Depositor shall prepare and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Depositor, shall adopt a
plan of complete liquidation within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code
which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
(which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the
133
Tax Matters Person or the Trust Fund), meets
the requirements of a qualified liquidation;
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of
such a plan of complete liquidation, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in
accordance with Section 9.01; and
On the date specified for final
payment of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall, after payment of any unreimbursed
Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees
or other fee compensation payable to the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, make
final distributions of principal and
interest on the Certificates in accordance
with Section 4.02 and distribute or credit,
or cause to be distributed or credited, to
the Holders of the Residual Certificates all
cash on hand after such final payment (other
than the cash retained to meet claims), and
the Trust Fund (and any REMIC) shall
terminate at that time.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may
be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of
the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter,
amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of
the party proposing such amendment), adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such Opinion
of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a
letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in
the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the
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 REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the Code, (ii)
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final
redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of
the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in
any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than
as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
135
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 unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of the party
preparing such amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the
imposition of any federal tax on the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or
cause REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a
copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder if the consent of
Certificateholders was required and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter
into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are
situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at its expense, but only upon
direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

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

party that originates mortgage loans in the normal course, which are directed to
the general public at large, or segments thereof, including, without limitation,

Class [_______]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein
collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. [The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month
of such Distribution Date.][The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date;
provided that if this Certificate is not a Book-Entry Certificate, then the
Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the
month next preceding such Distribution Date.]
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
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 Corporate Trust Office or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
F-1
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite
Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
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, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent
of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and the Seller,
the Depositor, the Trustee, or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the sum of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the REO
Properties at the time of repurchase is less than 10% of the sum of the
Aggregate Collateral Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the
Optional Termination Holder will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from
the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a purchase
price determined as provided in the Agreement. If the Optional Termination
Holder does not exercise its option to purchase, on any Distribution Date on
which the sum of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and the appraised value of the REO Properties at the time of repurchase is less
than 10% of the sum of the Aggregate Collateral Balance of the Mortgage Loans as
of the Cut-off Date, the Trustee shall conduct an auction and upon satisfaction
of the conditions described in the Agreement, the Auction Purchaser shall
purchase
F-2
the Trust Collateral at a purchase price determined as provided in the
Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs and no purchase
pursuant to an auction occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by
the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to
be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from 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.

Class [_______]
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][A-RL] Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, among Credit Suisse First
Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. as
seller ("DLJMC"), Wilshire Credit Corporation as servicer ("Wilshire") and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, 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 not
Permitted Transferees; (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 not a Permitted Transferee, 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 a Permitted Transferee 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 not a
Permitted Transferee 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 a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a
I-1
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.)
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 J 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.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
9. The Transferee is a United States Person.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed 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 is (a) not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or (b) an employee benefit
plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan and will provide
an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the provisions of Agreement.

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 I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for
whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit and Transferor
Certificate. 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.
I-2-1
(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.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set
forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions
of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to
Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the Seller or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to
ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of
a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

proceeds, as defined below, of such note plus the then unpaid net proceeds of
any other loans insured by the Company made by the Assured to the individual
Borrower making the note are not in excess of $5,000.00, except that specified
notes for greater amounts may be insured hereunder upon endorsement of this
policy specifically insuring such notes.
c. "Borrower" means one, whether individual, partnership, corporation or other
legal entity, who applies for and receives a Loan, evidence by an Eligible Note,
and whose interest in the real property to be improved is: (1) A fee title; (2)
a life estate; (3) a leasehold estate having a fixed term expiring after the
maturity of the Note; or (4) an equitable interest under a contract or deed of
trust to create an interest in real property of the character described in (1)
(2) or (3). No such person shall be accepted by the Assured as a Borrower if
such person is past due more than fifteen days as to the payment of an
obligation owed the Assured or any obligation insured by the Company or is past
due more then thirty days as to the payment of any other indebtedness evidenced
by a note, bond or contract signed by such person and the Assured through its
usual credit investigation is placed on notice of such fact or facts, unless
other circumstances known to the Assured make a loan to such person a credit
risk acceptable to a prudent lender.
d. "Payment" or "Installment" means a deposit by the Borrower with the Assured
of funds which represent the full or partial repayment of a Loan according to
the terms of the Note evidencing such Loan. e. "Default" means the failure of
the Borrower to make any payment to the Assured at the time and in the manner
and amount specified in the Note evidencing the Loan.

payment was due which was not paid by the Borrower according to the terms of the
Note. g. "Loss" means the amount payable to the Assured by the Company as
provided in paragraph 5 hereof.
h. "Net Proceeds" means the amount of the loan actually made or the purchase
price of the note, exclusive of finance charges, fees, and other deductions.
2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO RECOVERY
Prior to making a Loan, the Assured shall obtain a dated credit
application fully executed by the Borrower. The credit application supplemented
by such other information as the Assured deems necessary, must, in the judgment
of the Assured, clearly show the Borrower to be solvent, with reasonable ability
to repay the Loan, and in other respects a reasonable credit risk. If, after the
Loan is made, the Assured discovers any material misstatements in the credit
application, or misuse of the proceeds of the Loan by the Borrower, the Assured
shall promptly report such discovery to the Company.
The Assured shall exercise due diligence in disbursing proceeds of
loans in effecting collections and shall service its Loans in accordance with
acceptable practices of prudent lending institutions.
All payments received on account of the Note, except late charges, must
be applied to the maturing installments in their order, except that any sum
received by the Assured in excess of three advanced monthly payments shall be
credited to the final installments in the absence of specific written
instructions from the Borrower to do otherwise.
Claim may be made after Default provided written demand has been made
on the Borrower for the full unpaid balance of the Note. The Company reserves
the right to require the Assured to reduce the Note to judgment subject to the
limitations of the terms of the Note.
BB-4
3. NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FILING OF CLAIMS FOR LOSS
Should a Default continue for a period of 90 days, notice thereof must
be filed with the Company monthly thereafter, on the form prescribed by the
Company until the Default is cured or a claim of Loss filed. A claim for Loss
may be filed as to an individual Loan at any time after Default but in no event
later than six months after Default unless the Company shall grant an extension
of the claim period in writing. Claims shall be filed on Proof of Loss forms
provided by the Company, which shall include an assignment of the Assured's
interest in the defaulted Note to the Company or such other person as may be
designated by the Company as assignee.
4. PAYMENT OF LOSS
All adjusted claims shall be paid or made good within thirty days after
presentation of satisfactory evidence of Loss to the Company.
5. LIMIT OF LOSS
In addition to the limitations heretofore set out, the Company shall be
obligated to pay hereunder only the full unpaid balance of the Note or of the
actual purchase price thereof, whichever is lesser, less the unearned discount
thereon, plus
a. uncollected earned interest to date of Default and interest at the rate of 4%
per annum from the date of Default to the date of presentation of Proof of Loss;
plus
b. uncollected court costs (including fees paid for issuing, serving and filing
summons); plus
c. attorneys' fees actually paid, not exceeding:
(1) 25 percent of the amount collected by the attorney on the defaulted
Note provided the Assured does not waive its claim against the Borrower for such
fees; plus
(2) $25.00 or 15 percent of the balance due on the Note, whichever is
the lesser, if a judgment is secured by suit, or $10.00 or 15 percent of the
balance due on the Note, whichever is the lesser, if a judgment is secured by
confession after default; plus
(3) $50.00 plus 5 percent of the balance due on the Note as an
additional fee where the action is contested and judgment is obtained;
BB-5
less any part of the foregoing amounts which the Assured has collected
from others, or which the Assured can collect from a reserve or holdback funds
in its hands.
6. SUBROGATION
In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Company shall be
subrogated to all of the Assured's rights of recovery against the Borrower and
any other person or organization liable under the terms of the defaulted Note
and against any reserve or holdback funds in its hands, and the Assured shall
execute and deliver at the request of the Company instruments and papers and do
whatever else is necessary to transfer, assign, and secure such rights. The
Assured shall do nothing after Loss to prejudice such rights, and the execution
by the Assured of a release or waiver of the right to collect the unpaid balance
of a Loan shall equally release the Company from any further obligation under
this Policy as to said Loan, anything in this Policy to the contrary
notwithstanding.
7. TRANSFER OR PREPAYMENT OF LOANS REPORTED FOR INSURANCE
All liability under this Policy with respect to any individual loan
shall terminate upon sale or transfer (including without limiting the generality
of application of this section, transfers pursuant to, or resulting from merger
or consolidation of the Assured with any other corporation or company) of such
loan, or the note evidencing same, to any transferee not holding a similar
Policy issued by the Company.
Such sales or transfers may be made to a transferee holding a similar
Policy issued by the Company only with the prior written approval of the
Company. In the event of such a sale or transfer, the continuing liability of
the Company to the transferee with regard to the loan or loans sold or
transferred shall be ten percent of the aggregate unpaid balance of the net
proceeds of
BB-6
such loan or loans at the time of transfer or sale, and the aggregate limit of
liability of the Company to the Assured hereunder shall be reduced by an equal
amount.
In no event will the Company refund any premium to the Assured upon the
sale or transfer of any loan or loans insured hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the pledging of
such loans, or the notes evidencing the same, as collateral security under a
bona fide loan agreement.
In the event that the Borrower shall prepay an eligible loan for which
the required premium has been paid by the Assured to the Company, upon receipt
of a report of such prepayment and application for premium refund on the form
prescribed by the Company, the Company shall return to the Assured a premium
refund calculated according to the sum-of-the-digits method, and the aggregate
cumulative liability of the Company hereunder shall be reduced by ten percent of
the original net proceeds of said loan.
8. REPORTS AND EXAMINATION
The Company may at any time call upon the Assured for such reports as
it may deem necessary and may inspect the books or the Accounts of the Assured
as they pertain to the Loans reported for insurance hereunder. All Loans
reported to the Company for insurance hereunder shall be identified by methods
satisfactory to the Company on the records of the Assured.
9. AMENDMENTS
Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or by any other
person shall not effect a waiver or a change in any part of this Policy or estop
the Company from asserting any right under the terms of this policy. The terms
of this Policy may be waived or changed only after written approval of the
Company and by an endorsement signed on behalf of the Company by its President,
Vice President or Secretary and countersigned by a duly authorized
representative of the Company.
BB-7
10. MISREPRESENTATION AND FRAUD
The Policy shall be void if the Assured has concealed or misrepresented
any material fact or circumstance concerning this insurance or the subject
thereof or in case of any fraud, attempted fraud or false swearing by the
Assured touching any matter relating to this insurance or the subject thereof
whether before or after a loss, or if the Assured shall make any claim which is
false or fraudulent either in amount or otherwise.
11. OTHER INSURANCE
If at the time of Loss or Default there is any other valid and
collectible insurance which would attach if this insurance had not been
effected, this insurance shall apply only as excess and in no event as
contributing insurance, and then only after all other insurance has been
exhausted.
12. ASSIGNMENT OF POLICY
This Policy shall be void if assigned or transferred without the
written consent of this Company, whether such transfer be voluntary or
involuntary.
13. SUIT AGAINST COMPANY
No suit, action or proceeding for the recovery of any claim under this
Policy shall be instituted or sustainable in any court of law or equity unless
Proof of Loss has been duly filed with respect thereto, and unless such suit,
action or proceeding be commenced within twelve months next after Default;
provided, however, that if by the laws of the State within which this Policy is
issued such limitation is invalid, then any such claims shall be void unless
such action, suit or proceedings be commenced within the shortest limit of time
permitted by the laws of such State to be fixed herein.
14. CANCELLATION
This Policy may be cancelled by the Assured by mailing to the Company
written notice stating when thereafter such cancellation shall be effective.
This Policy may be cancelled by the
BB-8
Company by mailing to the Assured at the address shown in this Policy or last
known address written notice stating when, not less than five days thereafter,
such cancellation shall be effective. The mailing of notice as aforesaid shall
be sufficient proof of notice and the effective date of cancellation stated in
the notice shall become the end of the policy period. Delivery of such written
notice either by the Assured or by the Company shall be equivalent to mailing.
Cancellation of this Policy shall not affect the insurance privilege of
the Assured with respect to any loan previously reported for insurance.
15. CONFORMITY TO STATUTE
Terms of this Policy which are in conflict with the statutes of the
State wherein this Policy is issued are hereby amended to conform to such
statutes.

This endorsement is issued in consideration of the Assured's request
for the change in the mode of premium permitted herein. 1. Section 7 entitled
"Transfer or Prepayment of Loans Reported for Insurance" is deleted and the
following is substituted therefor:
All liability under this Policy with respect to any individual loan shall
terminate upon sale or transfer (including, without limiting the generality of
application of this section, transfers pursuant to, or resulting from, merger or
consolidation of the Assured with any other corporation or company) of such

SCHEDULE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS
DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in this Schedule IV to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of
the Closing Date, or the date specified herein, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans identified on Schedule I hereto.
(i) The Seller or its affiliate is the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note.
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Depositor on the Closing
Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not
subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title
to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party,
to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan and following the sale of the Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest.
(ii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material
respects.
(iii) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is
required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Depositor. No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except
in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Insurance Policy and title
insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies.
(iv) The Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and
requirements of the originator's underwriting standards in effect at the time of
origination of such Mortgage Loan.
(v) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, attached
to the Agreement as Schedule I, is complete, true and correct in all material
respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(vi) With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage
is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the
Mortgaged Property, and all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems
IV-1
affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made
at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original
principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien
is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority
over the first or second lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage subject only to
(1) with respect to any Second Mortgage Loan, the related First Mortgage Loan,
(2) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (3) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A)
which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the
originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(4) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates (1) with respect to any First Mortgage Loan, a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security
interest and (2) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien and second priority security
interest, in each case, on the property described therein, and the Seller has
the full right to sell and assign the same to the Depositor.
(vii) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have
been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage.
(viii) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and
which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has
been asserted with respect thereto.
(x) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by
waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of
the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for
the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.
(xi) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly
within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
IV-2
Property except those which are insured against by a title insurance policy and
all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and
subdivision laws and ordinances.
(xii) Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee the original Mortgage bearing evidence
that such instruments have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction where
the Mortgaged Property is located as determined by the Seller (or, in lieu of
the original of the Mortgage or the assignment thereof, a duplicate or conformed
copy of the Mortgage or the instrument of assignment, if any, together with a
certificate of receipt from the Seller or the settlement agent who handled the
closing of the Mortgage Loan, certifying that such copy or copies represent true
and correct copy(ies) of the original(s) and that such original(s) have been or
are currently submitted to be recorded in the appropriate governmental recording
office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located) or a
certification or receipt of the recording authority evidencing the same.
(xiii) The Mortgage File contains each of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b) of the Agreement.
(xiv) As of the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan shall be serviced in
all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
(xv) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the
Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides,
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are
in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as
loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have
been paid. If at the time of origination, the Mortgage Loan was required to have
flood insurance coverage in accordance with the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, such Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration which policy conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements, as well as
all additional requirements set forth in this Agreement. Such policy was issued
by an insurer acceptable under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of
the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and
to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(xvi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment Penalty
feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and, at the time such
Mortgage Loan was originated, each Prepayment Penalty complied with applicable
federal, state and local law, subject to federal preemption where applicable.
(xvii) As of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is (a) a non-performing
loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that is more than 90 days delinquent); (b) a
re-performing loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that was more than 90 days delinquent
within the twelve month period preceding the Cut-off Date but is contractually
current); or (c) a sub-performing loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that is at least 30
days delinquent but subject to a payment plan or agreement pursuant to which the
Mortgagor is contractually current).
IV-3
(xviii) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable
principles.
(xix) To the knowledge of the Seller, (i) no proceeds from any Mortgage
Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies, (ii) no
Mortgage Loan originated prior to October 1, 2002 will impose a Prepayment
Penalty for a term in excess of five years and no Mortgage Loan originated on or
after October 1, 2002 will impose a Prepayment Penalty for a term in excess of
three years, (iii) the related Servicer of each Mortgage Loan has fully
furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information on a monthly basis, (iv)
the original principal balance of each Mortgage Loan is within Xxxxxxx Mac's
dollar amount for conforming one- to four-family mortgage loans and (v) no
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of Georgia
was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 and no
Mortgage Loan secured by Mortgaged Property located in the State of Georgia that
was originated on or after March 7, 2003 is a "high cost home loan" as defined
in the Georgia Fair Lending Act (HB 1361), as amended.
(xx) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all
material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, but
not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(xxi) No Mortgage Loan is classified as (a) a "high cost mortgage loan"
under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a "high cost
home," "covered," "high cost," "high risk home" or "predatory" loan under any
other applicable state, federal or local law (or a similarly classified loan
using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny
or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high
interest rates, points and/or fees).
(xxii) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan as such
terms are defined in Version 5.6 Revised; Appendix E of the Standard & Poor's
LEVELS(R) Glossary.
(xxiii) Each Old Republic Covered Loan is eligible for coverage under
the Credit Insurance Policy as of the Closing Date.
(xxiv) With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after October
1, 2004, either (a) the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note does not
contain a mandatory arbitration clause (that is, a clause that requires the
related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of
or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan) or (b) the related Mortgage and the
related Mortgage Note contained a mandatory arbitration clause as of the related
origination date and such clause has or will be waived by the originator or an
entity designated by the Seller in writing no later than sixty (60) days after
the related Closing Date which notice included or will include the following
language: "WE ARE HEREBY NOTIFYING YOU THAT THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE OF
YOUR LOAN, REQUIRING THAT YOU SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN, IS IMMEDIATELY NULL
IV-4
AND VOID. YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE TO EXERCISE ANY OF YOUR RIGHTS OR ENFORCE ANY
REMEDIES UNDER YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM." A copy of the
written notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable,
shall be retained in the related Mortgage File.
