SECTION 2.02. |
Acceptance
of REMIC I by Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and
subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next
paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such
documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other assets included
in
the definition of “REMIC I” under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the
extent of amounts attributable thereto deposited into the Distribution Account)
and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold
all
such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The
Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each
Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in substantially
the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto
as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part
of
such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v))
required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face
and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only
as
to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xi), (xii) and (xv) of the definition of
“Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the
Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the
Trustee was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any
such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether
they are genuine, enforceable, valid, legally binding, effective or appropriate
for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or
are
in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face, (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the
documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01 or (iii) to determine the
perfection or priority of any security interest in any such documents or
instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in conducting the review described
in this Section 2.02, the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining
(i)
if an Assignment is sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the
related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of record the sale of the
Mortgage or (ii) if a Mortgage creates a first lien on, or first priority
security interest in, a Mortgaged Property.
Prior
to
the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to
the
Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto
as
Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer shall forward a copy
thereof to any Sub-Servicer.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case
may
be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective
in
any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so
notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties made by either Originator or the Seller in the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders
in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties.
The
Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder,
provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files
released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.
SECTION 2.03. |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the
Originator.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by either
Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under
the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of
the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the related
Originator and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and
request that the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 60 days from the date
the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified of such missing
document, defect or breach, and if the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Servicer, in accordance with
Section 3.02(b), shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator or
the
Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after
the
date on which the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified
(subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if
and
to the extent that the related Originator or the Seller is obligated to do
so
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in
the
Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from
the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish
to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the related Originator or the Seller,
as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of
the
foregoing, if the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is not a
member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS®
System, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at its own expense
and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver
an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and shall cause
such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance
with MERS’ rules and regulations. The Trustee shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(b). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the related
Originator and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any
Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect
or
breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
(b) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is
two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering
to
the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the
Depositor and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year
of
the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the
Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC
I
and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the
month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date
in
the month of substitution, and the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give
or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
such
substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms
of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement.
For
any
month in which either Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes
one
or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall
Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Stated Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances
and
Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal
to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of
the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by
the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller,
as applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver
to
it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain
at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on
any
Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
“prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within
two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan
to
be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer may have with
the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the
Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with
respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary
or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in
its
own name is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, and upon written notice
to the Trustee, 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 the Mortgaged Properties and to institute
foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert
the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to
such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund and
the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans
in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the
Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer
shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules
and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy.
Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request
of
the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer any special or limited powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder and the Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of
attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose
of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11; provided, however, the Servicer shall only make such
Servicing Advance if the Mortgagor has made such payment as set forth in Section
3.09 or if the Mortgagor has not made such payment, if the failure to make
such
Servicing Advance would result in the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to
a
tax sale or foreclosure as result of a tax lien. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged
Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating the Stated Principal Balance
of a Mortgage Loan or distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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 MERS® System,
shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection
Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage
Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal
balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal)
or
change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in
Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or
such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or
any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would
both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section
1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to
fail
to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC
Provisions.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal
Prepayment in full 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 Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery
of
Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge, (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 or (iii) the Servicer has not been
provided with information sufficient to enable it to collect the Prepayment
Charge. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standard
described in clause (iii) above, then the Servicer shall enforce the obligation
of the related Originator to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge
to
the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent paid by the
related Originator) for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates.
In
the
event of a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to any Mortgage Loan,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit J no later than the third Business Day
following the immediately succeeding Determination Date with a copy to the
Class
CE Certificateholder.
Promptly
upon the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Servicer of the breach of the covenant of the Servicer set forth above which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class
P
Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall promptly pay the
amount of such waived Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been
waived), for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates by
depositing such amount into the Collection Account for distribution in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not, however,
limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, respecting
a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originator
or
the Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is the subject of a Principal Prepayment
in
full, which prepayment is not accompanied by the payment of a Prepayment Charge,
the Trustee shall verify that such Mortgage Loan was identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule as not being subject to a Prepayment Charge.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Originator and the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements,
including, without limitation, any obligation of either Originator or the Seller
to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation
or
on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described
in Section 2.03(a).
SECTION 3.02. |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements
would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the
rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing
and
administration of the Mortgage Loans.
Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an
institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing
Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured
by
the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.
Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent
with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers
may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form
shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or
credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount
of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to
be
inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any
amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and
delivery of such instruments.
As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out
to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any
collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that
are
received by a Sub- Servicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted
by
the Sub-Servicer to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer or a
Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Servicer or otherwise,
the
Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall contain a provision giving the
successor Servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a
successor Servicer is appointed. All actions of each Sub-Servicer performed
pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent
of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by
the
Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting as Servicer)
without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that
the Servicer (or the Trustee, if it is then acting as Servicer) shall, for
any
reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a Servicer
Event
of Default).
SECTION 3.04. |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Trustee or the
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions
or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone
and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto
and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with
respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.05. The Servicer
shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective
of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient
to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.05. |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Trustee.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its
designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered
into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption,
the
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have
assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein without act or deed on the part
of the Trustee and shall be deemed to have replaced the Servicer as a party
to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.06. |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.07. |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection
procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to
the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing,
the
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, penalty interest or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly
Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days;
provided that any extension pursuant to this clause shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loans during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section
3.01 may waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”), or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such
term or otherwise 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).
The
Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing
in
the Mortgage File.
SECTION 3.08. |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on
a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the
Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the
Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter
deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business
Days
after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes
of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09. |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments, primary
mortgage insurance premiums, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, water
charges, sewer rents and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
(“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be
Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts on
a
daily basis and in no event later than the second Business Day after receipt,
and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage
Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as
required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a
Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect timely payment of taxes,
assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items;
(ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any advances made
pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section
3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to
Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest,
if
required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing
Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination
of
the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if
the
related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but the Servicer shall
nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section
3.01. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary
notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer will, promptly and to the extent required to avoid loss
of
the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to
discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments
of
all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the
payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing
Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10. |
Collection
Account, Distribution Account and Initial Deposit
Accounts.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection
Account on a daily basis and in no event later than two Business Days after
receipt, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by it on or subsequent to the Cut-off
Date:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) any
Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount delivered to the Servicer and
all proceeds (net of amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer) of
Mortgage Loans purchased in accordance with Section 9.01; and
(vii) any
Prepayment Charges or amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
connection with a breach of its obligations under Section 3.01 with respect
to
the waiver of Prepayment Charges.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption
fees or other similar fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf
of
the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m.
New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available
Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause
(2)
of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer
in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans (including
the amount of any payment by the Servicer in respect of a waived Prepayment
Charge, other than as permitted in Section 3.01) then on deposit in the
Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advance
Financing Person pursuant to Section 3.28, and (ii) on each Business Day as
of
the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and
the
Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before
5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection
Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Originator or the Seller pursuant to Section 3.11
and
shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection
Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.
The
Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location
of
the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change
thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
in
immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account. In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
in
the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may
at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability as a result
of
withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer
in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit in the Distribution
Account the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) below:
(i) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or 3.23(f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
SECTION 3.11. |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required
to
be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for Advances, but only to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related
Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which
such
Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and reimburse
the Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on
the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, the related Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon not
included in the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall
Amount;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(vii) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.01
or Section 6.03;
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the
purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included
in
the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out
of
the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(ix) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of, expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and
(x) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the Trustee on or prior to the next succeeding
Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclauses (vi) and (vii) above.
(b) The
Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section
4.01;
(ii) to
pay to
itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05 and any

(iv) to
pay to
an Advance Financing Person reimbursements for Advances and/or Servicing
Advances pursuant to Section 3.28;
(v) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 10.01(g)(iii);

SECTION 3.12. |
Investment
of Funds in the Investment
Accounts.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct, by means of written directions (which may be standing
directions), any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account
to
invest the funds in the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12,
an “Investment Account”) in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later
than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this
Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. Amounts in the Distribution
Account may be held uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be held
to
maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds shall be made in
the
name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of
the
Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession over each such
investment (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account) and, subject to subsection (b) below, the income thereon,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall
be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document
of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party with
investment discretion over such Investment Account shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in
the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or the Trustee, shall
be
for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall be for the
benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time.
The
Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, the amount of any loss of
principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds
in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(v), shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.
(e) The
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation
that
could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation
shall
not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or otherwise payable in respect of
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.
SECTION 3.13. |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.14. |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the least
of: (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property,
in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid
the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance
on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part
of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply
in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by
the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood
and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of
any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
If
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified
in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood
insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that
the
area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed
to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property
a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause
each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
SECTION 3.15. |
Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. 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 proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any
such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding
to
the Trustee the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement,
which document 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.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16. |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Sections 3.11 and 3.23. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to
be a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by an Independent
Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Sections 3.11(a)(iii) or
3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of
such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price
equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased
hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and
as
shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii)
or
(a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the
date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the
Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in
connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated
to
interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on
such
Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Servicer
as
follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the
interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to interest (net of unpaid
Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery allocated to principal of the
Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Servicer
for
any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii) and
any
other amounts reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11, and second,
as part of the amounts to be transferred to the Distribution Account in
accordance with Section 3.10(b).
SECTION 3.17. |
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 shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will notify the Trustee by a certification in the
form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request
delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the
registration on the MERS® System of any 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. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer
and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit
E,
release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or the
Servicer as attorney-in-fact of the Trustee shall, at the direction of the
Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of
any
such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return
each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the
Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage
File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee
or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate
of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that
are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited,
or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer.
Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against
any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.
So long as no Servicing Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Servicer shall have the right to execute any and all such court pleadings,
requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of the
Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer, hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable
solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject
to
Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid
Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation
and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except
as
set forth in Section 6.04 hereof, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may
not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all
of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the
extent permitted herein.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other miscellaneous fees (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by
the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the
Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv)
to
withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw
from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12. The Servicer shall
be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.19. |
Reports
to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Not
later
than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward
to
the Trustee and the Depositor a statement prepared by the institution at which
the Collection Account is maintained setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing,
for
the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into
and
withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified
in
Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11.
Such
statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Mae Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate
additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate
of
the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last
day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder
and
to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party,
provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the
Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies
on
or before March 15 of each year, commencing in 20[__], an officer’s certificate
(an “Annual Statement of Compliance”), certifying that with respect to the
period ending December 31st of the prior year: (i) the Servicer or such
Servicing Officer, as applicable, has reviewed the activities of the Servicer
during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under
this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement and (ii) to the best
of
the Servicer’s or such Servicing Officer’s, as applicable, knowledge, based on
such review, the Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or other applicable
servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there
has been a failure to fulfill of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to
such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. In
addition to the foregoing, the Servicer will, to the extent reasonable, give
any
other servicing information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to applicable law. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person
may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section
3.20. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or
limitations on its use. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any
servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it
to
a Sub-Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver an officer's certificate of the
Sub-Servicer as described above as to each Sub-Servicer as and when required
with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance by March 15th of
such
year, the Trustee, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the related
Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance, but in no event later
than March 30th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed an
Servicer Event of Termination, automatically, without notice and without any
cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee
may
have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same.
This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any
other agreement to the contrary.
SECTION 3.21. |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
On
and
after January 1, 2006, each of the Servicer and the Trustee shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements
of
the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit [__]). Each of the Servicer
and
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor (and, in the case of the Servicer,
the Trustee) on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 20[__],
a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor regarding the Servicer’s and Trustee’s assessment of compliance with
the applicable Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required
by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB,
which as of the date hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the
Servicer or the Trustee that contains the following:
A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer or the Trustee;
A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria to
assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer or
the
Trustee;
An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s or Trustee’s compliance with the
applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding
calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance
with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on
the
activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that
are
backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s or Trustee’s Assessment of Compliance for the period
consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer or Trustee, which statement shall be based on the activities it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
involving the Servicer or Trustee, that are backed by the same asset type as
the
Mortgage Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit [___] hereto delivered to
the
Depositor (and, in the case of the Servicer, the Trustee) concurrently with
the
execution of this Agreement.
On
or
before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 20[__], each of the
Servicer and the Trustee shall furnish to the Depositor (and, in the case of
the
Servicer, the Trustee) a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public
accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance
made by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, as required by Rules 13a-18
and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which
Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation
reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Each
of
the Servicer and the Trustee shall cause any servicer, and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to be “participating
in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to
deliver to the Depositor (and, in the case of the Servicer, the Trustee) an
assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation.
If
the
Servicer or the Trustee cannot deliver the related Assessment of Compliance
or
Attestation Report by March 15th of such year, the Depositor, at its sole
option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event
later than March 30th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Termination, automatically, without notice and without any
cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee
may
have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same.
This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any
other agreement to the contrary.
SECTION 3.22. |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificate Owner, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
In
addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be
provided to any Certificate Owner, the Trustee and to any Person identified
to
the Servicer, as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable
request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated
by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.
SECTION 3.23. |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I, shall either sell any
REO Property by the close of the third calendar year following the calendar
year
in which REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section
860(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later
than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise
expire an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Servicer had
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and
the
Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property
subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on any Trust REMIC created hereunder of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any
Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for
the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause
such
REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC
created hereunder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure
property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for
the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest
income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the REO
Account all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Subject
to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be
in
force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not:
(i) permit
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of
a
building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent
of
the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before
default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning
of
Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) allow
any
Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after
its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund; unless, in any such case, the
Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Servicer and the
Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to
fail
to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC I, in which case the Servicer
may
take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to
the
operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such
fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage
Loan;
and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related
Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw
from
each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related
REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals
made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a) and consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, each REO Disposition shall be
carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions
as
the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual
in
its Accepted Servicing Practices.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer
Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution
on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO
Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions
made
subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns (and shall provide a certification
of a
Servicing Officer to the Trustee that such filings have been made) with respect
to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports
of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall
be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed
by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24. |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account
on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its
own funds an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls attributable to prepayments in full for the related
Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments received
by the Servicer during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) 50% of its
aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended Prepayment Period. The
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted
to
the Trustee in respect of this Section 3.24. The Servicer shall not be obligated
to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 3.24 with respect to Relief Act
Interest Shortfalls.
SECTION 3.25. |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.26. |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and
hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor Servicer
in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination
or discharge of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.27. |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself,
as
agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, [NAME OF TRUSTEE], as Trustee, in trust for
the
registered holders of [National City Mortgage Capital LLC [Mortgage] Loan
Trust], Series 20__-____, Mortgage Backed Pass-Through Certificates.” On the
Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, $1,000.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable
to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has
been
directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit
into
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in
Section 4.01(a)(4)(xiii),
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On
each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the
benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class
A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set
forth in Section 4.01(a). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable
on a
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account on behalf of the Class CE Certificateholders, from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificateholders, an amount such
that
when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to
$1,000.
(c) For
federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders will
be
deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all
amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than
the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed
by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination
of
the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed
to
the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC
and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed to deposit into the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting
a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that
such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
(e) At
the
written direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution
maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to invest the funds
in
such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold
at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages
or
advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority
in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net
WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
invest the funds in Deutsche Cash Management Fund 541 so long as it is a
Permitted Investment or as otherwise directed in writing by the Depositor on
behalf of the Holders of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class CE
Certificates. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited
into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders to receive payments
from
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.
SECTION 3.28. |

(iv) As
to

Form 10-K, the Trustee ’s obligation to include the information in the
applicable report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in
Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing that information, if other
than
the Trustee , as and when required as described above. The Depositor hereby
agrees to notify and provide to the Trustee all information that is required
to
be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K, with respect to which
that
entity is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing that

shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable to any
originator at any time, for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1117

such requirement by no later than March 1st of each year in which a Form 10-K

(b) In
addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached

In
addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of third

by
the Trustee and included in a Form 10-D or Form 10-K from information provided
to the Trustee by the Servicer under this Agreement. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
Depositor, then (i) the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other
and
(ii) the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of
the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative

the foregoing, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any consequential,
indirect or punitive damages
SECTION 3.29. |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) The
Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any
such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies
with Section 3.28(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges
its
rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or
Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose
bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously
assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in
the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,
assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting
on
behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender,
an
“Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to
fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee,
Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer
may
enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders
be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person
to
the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which
an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances,
(A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement
and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance
Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer’s
Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or
otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that
may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant
of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(b) If
the
Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance
Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in
Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating
(a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of the
Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.28(c) hereof,
have the right to receive amounts available from the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.11(a) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or
Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance Reimbursement
Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself
in accordance with Section 3.11(a) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the
related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of
amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.11(a)
hereof to the extent permitted under Section 3.28(e) below.
(c) Notwithstanding
the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance
Financing Person, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a) hereof, which entitlement
may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice
to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt
of
such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive
reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee
shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account all
Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Advance
Financing Person shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance
Reimbursement Amounts hereunder pursuant to Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement
and shall not otherwise be entitled to receive amounts designated for
distribution to Certificateholders. None of the Trustee or the
Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive
any amounts which constitute Advance Reimbursement Amounts. An Advance Facility
may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related
Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered
to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. None of the
Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation
or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have
any
additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance
Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s
Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor
Servicer and the Trust Fund resulting from any claim by the related Advance
Financing Person. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan
basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to
any
Advance Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely
on
any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor
Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) As
between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one
hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on
the
other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect
to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall
have
been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out”
basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of
an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances
that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related
Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall be
required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each
Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled
to
be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing
Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement
Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person
or
Servicer’s Assignee.
(f) For
purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section
4.03(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance referred
to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.
In
making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore
made
has become a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, as
applicable, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such
determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall
have
been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.
(g) Any
amendment to this Section 3.28 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 3.28, may be entered into by the Trustee,
the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable
costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such
amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer without reimbursement from
the
Trust Fund. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the
Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance
Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer
payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement
for
reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided
herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence
of
any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing
Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be
responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts
collected by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded
by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement;
and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance
Financing Person.

reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Interest.
(c) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro
rata
among
the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e)
or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement or applicable law.
(d) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates, the Trustee or the Servicer shall in any way be responsible or
liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts
properly previously distributed on the Certificates.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final
distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the
next
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3) days before the
related Distribution Date (to the extent that an accurate Remittance Report
is
received in a timely manner by the Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date
of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this
Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates
but
shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust
and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets held
in
trust for such Certificateholders. If within one year after the final notice
any
such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall pay to [Name of Underwriter], in accordance with its wiring instructions,
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or
to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result
of
such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held
in trust by the Trustee shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall be held
uninvested.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC I Regular Interest be reduced more than
once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC I
Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and
(b)
distributed on such REMIC I Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee
by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape or electronically transmit
(in a format acceptable to the Trustee) on the day thereafter, a data file
containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect
to
the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report will include (i) the
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related
Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after giving
effect to such Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances
in
respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the
calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01
and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify
any information provided to it by the Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments
(net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related Collection Period
in
respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent on a
contractual basis as of the close of business on the related Determination
Date
and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired
during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which such REO
Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period,
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of only the interest portion of the
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due
on
the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net
income from such REO Property deposited in the Collection Account pursuant
to
Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with
a
delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would
have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.
By
3:00
p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit
in
immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be
made
in respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date either (i)
from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds
held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made
an
appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held
for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be
made
by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for future
distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on
or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard
to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the
total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will
provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances
required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution
Date.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final
Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from
the
Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by the Servicer that it
has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that
any
proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall
be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the
Depositor and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.04. |
Allocation
of Realized Losses.
|
(a) Prior
to
each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan
and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such
Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to
each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with
any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due
Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to
be
supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate
delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date
immediately following the end of (i) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable
to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred,
and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during
which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on
each
Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Accrued Certificate Interest for
the
Class CE Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period; second, to the
Class CE Interest, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-5 Interest until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-4
Interest, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to
zero; fifth, to the Class M-3 Interest, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and seventh,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero.
All
Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all
Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual
distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above
to
the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each
case
to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by
the
amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Interest
shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(xiv). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall
be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or
the
Class P Interest.
As
used
herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro
rata
basis”
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on
a pro
rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of
Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on
each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate
amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and
1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; fifth to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; sixth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and seventh to
the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
SECTION 4.05. |
Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal
withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest
or original issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable
under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for
such
withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any amount from interest
or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the
amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. |

THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC
I.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-10. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee to or upon the written order of the Depositor. The Certificates
shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee
by
an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trustee
by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the
date
of their authentication.
(b) The
Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as
one
or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold
such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name
of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration
of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate
Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold
their
respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall
not
be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the 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 the Ownership Interests in
the
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. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry
Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in
accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to
act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified
to
act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and, if the Trustee is
not
the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer agent (including
the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository
or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee
or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its
predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right
to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the
making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository
as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to
the
Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect
to
the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants
and
brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and
directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry
Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners.
The
Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations
of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the
Depository of such record date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and
(B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor
at its option, and with the consent of the Trustee (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
in
the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, 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 Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration
of
transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such
Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance
of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to
the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on,
such instructions. 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.
SECTION 5.02. |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate
Register for the Certificates in which, subject 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.
(b) No
transfer of any Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless that transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee
shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as such or any
Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register
or
qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws
or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor 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.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date,
of any Class R Certificate or Class R-X Certificate by the Depositor to an
“[____] investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933
Act.
(c) No
transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”)
unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the effect that the
purchase of such Certificates 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 Depositor, the Servicer,
the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Any prospective
Transferee of such Certificates not providing the above Opinion of Counsel
must
provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (or other
form acceptable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer), which the
Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with
the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of
the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee
as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificates or any interest therein shall
be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor,
(ii)
it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificates in reliance on the
Underwriters’ Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Underwriters’ Exemption, including that
the Mezzanine Certificates must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower
than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch Ratings, S&P or Xxxxx’x or (iii)
(1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or
hold
the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,”
as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and
III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired
or held in violation of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs, the
next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner
of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the two preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result
of
that acquisition or holding.
(d) (i)
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 to have irrevocably
authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any
mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) 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.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit
and
agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Trustee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed
Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it
has
reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned
to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not
a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from any other Person to whom such Person
attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y)
not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that, among
other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee
written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of
temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is
holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a
“pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall
have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition
to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall
be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from
the
Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee.
(iii) (A)If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
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 this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due
on
such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with
respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate,
to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on
such
terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any
Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such
purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The
Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons
specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any
tax
imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the
information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate
or
organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any
time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation
for providing such information may be accepted by the Trustee.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may
be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or
eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the
effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not
cause
any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer
of
any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or
a
Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused
by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(e) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage
Interest.
(f) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like

any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any

indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence
of
actual knowledge by the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by
a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and

THE
DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. |
Liability
of the Depositor and the Servicer.
|
The
Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only
to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement upon them
in their respective capacities as Depositor and Servicer and undertaken
hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. |
Merger
or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer.
|
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
limited partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. The
Depositor and the Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The
Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person,
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which
case
any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor
or
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of
the
Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor
or
surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans
on
behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating
Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in
effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such
effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. |
Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and
Others.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining
from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard
of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed
and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor,
the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor
or
the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund 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 relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except
as
any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant
to
this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related
to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its good faith reasonable
opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in its discretion undertake
any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests
of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the
Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, the legal expenses and costs of such action
and
any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
of
the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided
in
Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. |
Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicer.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law or as provided in Section 6.04(c) . Any such determination
pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the
expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the
Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall
have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than
those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and
obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Except
as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of
its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to
or
subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to
the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.02 hereof,
no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties
hereto shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer as an indemnitee
under
this Agreement.
(c) The
Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and
assignment by the Servicer of all of the Servicer’s right, title and interest
in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit
of certain lenders and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of Default exists,
agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of
a
letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer
under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee
or
its designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such
appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the
requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a) hereof and
agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any
provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor
servicer.
SECTION 6.05. |
Rights
of the Depositor in Respect of the
Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each
Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the
Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and
obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer (and those of
any
such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer
shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s)
most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the
Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it
possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the
Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding
two sentences without the Servicer’s written consent, except as required
pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so
(i)
in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies, (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and
in
any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all
information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the
Trustee from sources other than the Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) disclosure
as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all
information(A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration
statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor or the
Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent,
employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided
that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the
information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the
confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor
may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under
this
Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement or
exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement
by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor
shall
not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by
the
Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer
under
this Agreement or otherwise.

Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance required to be made from
its own funds on any Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required
to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which

of 30 days (or if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within 30 days,
then
such remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and diligently pursued
thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall such failure or breach
be
allowed to exist for a period of greater than 90 days) after the earlier of

remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee,
or to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of
such
failure by a Servicing Officer; or
(iii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or

(iv) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to
all
or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or

If
a
Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee
may,
and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least
51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer
and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
If
a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the
Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its
capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate)
or
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is
hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, any and all
documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees promptly (and
in
any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide
the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to
assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within
one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts
which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to
the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution
Account or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the
Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any
REO
Property serviced by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall
continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under
this
Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is
received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust
Fund or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. |
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
(a) (1)On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall
separately assume and become the successor in all respects to the Servicer
in
its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or
provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except
for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement,
the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.05 and the
obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12)
by
the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer’s
obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that
if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to
make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be
obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further,
that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee as successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled
if
it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to
Section 7.02(a)(2) below, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act,
or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the
Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each
Rating Agency without qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings
then assigned to any of the Certificates and having a net worth of not less
than
$15,000,000, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of
the Servicer under this Agreement.
All
Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided, that if the
Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02, such costs
shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor servicer),
and
if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the
Trust Fund).
(2) No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement shall be
effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such
appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer as such
hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided.
(b) In
the
event of a Servicer Event of Default, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery to the
Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer
within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been
provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under
this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its
designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment,
the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a
successor Servicer set forth above and the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such
designee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) 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, documents and other instruments
as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan
or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer.
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
Section 7.02(c).
SECTION 7.03. |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment
of
a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not
later
than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes
or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer
Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes
aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail
to
all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default
or Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. |
Waiver
of Servicer Events of Default.
|
The
Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes
of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer Event of Default hereunder
may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that
a
default or Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01
may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon
any
such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default, such default or Servicer
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or
other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. |
Duties
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default and after the
curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face
to
the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to
conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner,
the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the
instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its
satisfaction, will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all
such
Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, 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, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, 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 that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless
it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for
any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon it, under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02. |
Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The
Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be fully 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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The
Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel;
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or
powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction
of
any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence
of a
Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise
such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs;
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing
of
all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within
a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely
to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the
Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the
Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such expense
or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such
action;
(vi) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys,
and
the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due care by it
hereunder; and
(vii) The
Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the
absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Servicer
or
the Depositor. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of
investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have
no
liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior
to
its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the Depositor to provide
timely written investment direction.
(b) All
rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates,
enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the possession of
any
of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding
relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of all
the
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.

of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having
a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation or association

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, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. |
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee,
the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee
and
to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer by the Depositor. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of
a successor trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or
shall be adjudged 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, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
and the Servicer by the Depositor.
The

time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to
the
Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set
to
the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to
the
Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until 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 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
predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it
hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a custodian, which
custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the
Depositor 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 unless
at
the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor trustee shall
not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by either Rating
Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section,
the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder
to
all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate
Register. 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.

Any
corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be
a
party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property
securing the same 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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person
or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, 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. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject
to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so
to
do, or in case a Servicer 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 hereunder and no notice
to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof. The Servicer shall
be
responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under
this Section 8.10.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to 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, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed by the Trustee (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 REMIC I or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
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
Depositor and the Servicer.
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.

TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. |
Termination
Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this
Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee (other than the
obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of
the
Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments in respect of the
REMIC
I Regular Interests and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all
amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so
paid
or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier
to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that
in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof. Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by
the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the greater
of:
(A) the
aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC I, plus
the
appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC I, such
appraisal to be conducted by an Independent appraiser selected by (i) the
Terminator and (ii) if the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine
Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the
termination, an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator
and
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and
(B) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I (as determined
as of
the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon
which notice of any such termination is furnished to the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 9.01(c) by (i) the Terminator and (ii) if the Class A
Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts
owed to it as a result of the termination, an Independent appraiser mutually
agreed upon by the Terminator and the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders).
However,
this option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to
pay
all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal
balance of, any net interest margin securities backed by the Class CE
Certificates and Class P Certificates. If the determination of the appraised
value of each REO Property pursuant to (A) above or the fair market value of
the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to (B) above shall be required to
be
made by the Terminator and an Independent appraiser as provided above, (i)
such
appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (ii) the Trustee
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
appraisal.
(b) The
Servicer (or an Affiliate of the Servicer) shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the “Terminator”), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will
be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of
the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause
(i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election
is
reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of a Residual Certificate,
the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any
termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par,
and
to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice
of
the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trustee
by
letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in
connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by
the
Terminator, not earlier than the 10th
day and
not later than the 20th
day of
the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related
Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on
or
before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment
in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as applicable and the related
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount
of
any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the
REMIC I Regular Interests or the related Certificates from and after the
Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and
(iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
related Certificates at the office of the Trustee. In the event such notice
is
given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each
REO
Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver
to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last
Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution
on
the related Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to
the
above-described purchase price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from
such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the
Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the
Trustee to the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final
distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the
Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and
other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.
Immediately
following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the
Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

Fund
shall terminate at that time.
(b) At
the
expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the Trust Fund is being terminated
as a result of the occurrence of the event described in clause (ii) of the
first
paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense of the Depositor without the right
of
reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the Terminator shall prepare or cause to
be
prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan
of
liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the

representative of each Trust REMIC. 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 reasonably determines to be relevant for
tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The
Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust REMIC created
hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the
status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee shall not
take
any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail
to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or
not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each Trust
REMIC
as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined
in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”)
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at
the
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it
in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Servicer
may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability
for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel.
In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the
respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which
is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will consult
with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such
action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust
REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC
to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that
an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively
rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action or failure
to
act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may consult with counsel to
make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event
shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required
by
the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC
I will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code,
to the extent such obligations are within the Trustee’s control and not
otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any Trust REMIC
created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net
income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the
Code
or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be
charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under
this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iii) in all other cases,
against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by
withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On
or
before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing [_________], the Trustee
shall
deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer’s Certificate of the Trustee stating
the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.
(i) The
Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with
respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall accept any
contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding
or
subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other
applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(k) Neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any
Trust
REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor knowingly permit
any Trust REMIC 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 10.02. |
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute
for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure
of
a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a
Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy
of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this
Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or
(v) a
purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement),
nor
acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in
respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments
in
the Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless
it
has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense
of
the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition
or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. |
Servicer
and Trustee Indemnification.
|
(a) The
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Servicer
for
any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’
fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Servicer
as
a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article
X.
(b) The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Trustee
for
any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’
fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee,
as
a result of a breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or
this Article X.
ARTICLE
XI
MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
SECTION 11.01. |
Amendment.
|
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and
the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure
any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions
herein (including to give effect to the expectations of Certificateholders),
(iii) to amend the provisions of Section 4.06 or (iii) to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided
that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in
the
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates
with respect to which it is a Rating Agency). No amendment shall be deemed
to
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency
confirmation shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment
on
any such consenting Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
an
Opinion of Counsel nor written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be required in connection with an
amendment to the provisions of Section 4.06.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at
least 66% of the Voting Rights 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 received on Mortgage Loans which are 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 (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion
of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class
of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner, other
than as described in (i) or (iii) modify the consents required by the
immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders
of
all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or
the
Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with
respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
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 to the effect that such amendment (i) will not result in the imposition
of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any
Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are
outstanding and (ii) is authorized or permitted hereunder.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy
of
such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement
or otherwise.

other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of the Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation

otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto

No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon

thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request
upon 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 15 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 is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of
this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any
other
of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit
of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of
this Section, each and every Certificateholder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to
such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

and Section References.
|
All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise

SECTION 11.09. |
Grant
of Security Interest.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt
or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans
are
held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
from
time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the
Trustee 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 Collection
Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security
agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this
Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the
benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund;
and (4) 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 purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans
and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for
the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of
the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section
2.01
to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets
constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee have caused their
names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above

Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor 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.

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations 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 of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The

the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the

advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,

in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of

Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or

therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations 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 of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any

Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of

THE
SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE
GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This

(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates as of the Issue
Date)
in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class
P
Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among [_________] (hereinafter
called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the 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 the Holders of Class P Certificates
on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. 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 herefor 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
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations 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 of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the
Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

The

circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred
to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,

or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations 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 of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I and
REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income
of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined
in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial
means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding
the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicer or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

[_________]
THIS

THE
SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE
GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This
certifies that [____________] is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest
(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class R-X Certificates as of the Issue
Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the
Class
R-X Certificates created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as
specified above (the “Agreement”), among [_________] (hereinafter called the
“Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of
the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the 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 the Holders of Class R-X
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest
in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the face
hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. 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 herefor 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.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred
to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations 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 of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I
and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net
income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as
defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other
losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the
financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating
to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in
the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall
not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicer or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

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

For
purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or
invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee
used
the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include
any of
the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further,
in
determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have
included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only
if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are
managed under
the Transferee's direction. However, such securities were not
included if
the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary
of another
enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company
under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
|
|
5.
|
The
Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A
and understands
that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates
are
relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because
one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule
144A.
|
___
Yes
|
___
No
|
Will
the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates only for the
Transferee's
own account?
|
6.
|
If
the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that,
in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee
for
the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance
on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account
of a third
party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that
the
Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless
the
Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from
such third
party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule
144A to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition
of
“qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.
|
|
7.
|
The
Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification
is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such
notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificates
will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such
purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings
and loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish
to such parties
updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

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 Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of [___________]
(the
“Agreement”),
among
[_________], as depositor (the “Depositor”),
[___________] as Servicer, (the “Servicer”), [___________] as trust
administrator and [_________], 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 for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
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 for its own account. 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 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(d) of the Agreement
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(d) 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 L 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 has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect
thereto in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due.
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 U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
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 will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of
an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such
Certificate;
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate;
and
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with
holding such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
at the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
tax rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding
two years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using
the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
used by the
Transferee.
The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had
gross assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation
of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net
assets in
excess of $10 million;
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire
the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and
loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates
and other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined
in good
faith.
|
None
of the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I
of ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title
I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on
behalf of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly
authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested,

2. The

tax.
3. The
Owner
has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee
(the

any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii)
is not a
Permitted Transferee.
4. The
Owner
understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee a transfer
affidavit
and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as
Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation
contained therein is false.
5. At
the
time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation
of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the
Owner has
determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they
became due

will not
continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner
understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected

United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable
for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has
conducted
such an investigation.
