COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller (the

WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed
to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax
purposes, the Trust Fund, other than the Supplemental Loan Account and
Capitalized Interest Account, will consist of two real estate mortgage
investment conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, the "Subsidiary
REMIC" and the "Master REMIC," respectively). Each Certificate, other than the
Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more regular
interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class
A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in
the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as
assets the several classes of uncertificated Subsidiary REMIC Interests (other
than the Class SR-A-R Interest). The Subsidiary REMIC will hold as assets all
property of the Trust Fund (other than the Supplemental Loan Account and
Capitalized Interest Account). Each Subsidiary REMIC Interest (other than the
Class SR-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the
Subsidiary REMIC. The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular
interests created herein shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The following table sets forth characteristics of the Master REMIC
Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples
in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one
Certificate of each Class of Certificates may be issued in a different amount
and, in addition, one Residual Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person

(a) The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the
Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller
in and to the Initial Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal

the Seller shall deliver to the Depositor or, at the Depositor's direction, to
the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (except that, in the case
of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans, such delivery may take place within
thirty (30) days following the Closing Date or twenty (20) days following the
applicable Supplemental Transfer Date, as applicable). Such delivery of the
Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor of the purchase
price, previously agreed to by the Seller and Depositor, for the Mortgage
Loans. With respect to any Initial Mortgage Loan that does not have a first
payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first Distribution
Date or any Supplemental Mortgage Loan that does not have a first payment date
on or before the Due Date in the month after the related Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Seller shall deposit into the Distribution Account on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date relating to the first applicable
Distribution Date, an amount equal to one month's interest at the related
Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan.
(b) Immediately upon the conveyance of the Initial Mortgage Loans

Trustee (or, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans that are Initial
Mortgage Loans will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee within
thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and in the case of the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loans that are Supplemental Mortgage Loans, will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee within twenty (20) days following the
applicable Supplemental Transfer Date) for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) (A) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or
facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order
of ____________ without recourse," with all intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
II-1
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note); or
(B) with respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note
affidavit from the Seller stating that the original Mortgage
Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of such
Mortgage Note;
(ii) except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is
not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of
such Mortgage certified by the Seller as being a true and complete
copy of the Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage for which the
related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, a true copy of the Mortgage certified as such by the applicable
notary) and in the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original
Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans and
either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if
the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM
Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof
to MERS, with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of
the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in which such
Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which may
be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with,
except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments of such
mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to
be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and
transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the
assignment relates); provided that, if the related Mortgage has not
been returned from the applicable public recording office, such
assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided
by the recording office; provided, further, that such assignment of
Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which
the related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico;
(iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any;
(v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate original
lender's title policy or a printout of the electronic equivalent and
all riders thereto; and
(vi) in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the
following documents or instruments:
(A) The Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
(B) The executed Security Agreement;
(C) The executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) The executed Recognition Agreement;
II-2
(E) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of
recording thereon which have been filed in all places required
to perfect the Seller's interest in the Coop Shares and the
Proprietary Lease; and
(F) The executed UCC-3 financing statements or other
appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law,
evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to
the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form
suitable for recordation).
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee's expense, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the
Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (and any Supplemental
Transfer Agreement, as applicable) for the benefit of the Certificateholders
by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased
in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information
required by the MERS(R) System to identify the series of the Certificates
issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that
it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master
Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information referenced in this
paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded
Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned
from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or
(iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the
Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case
of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in
the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or,
in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by
such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact
that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (a)
from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be
delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event
that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment
in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires
the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the
II-3
Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance,
the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a
public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case
where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the
Seller shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee
shall (i) as the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each
assignment of Mortgage: "CWMBS Series 0000-X00, Xxx Xxxx xx Xxx Xxxx, as
trustee", (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable
form, the Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such
recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information
and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and that the
Trustee need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a
Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which
are located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction (including Puerto
Rico) under the laws of which in the opinion of counsel the recordation of
such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and the
Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such
payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the
Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the
Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period
provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such thirty (30) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
thirty (30) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished
in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03
(treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.03); provided, however, that if the Seller fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the twenty
(20) day period provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best
reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such
Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for
in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of
the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such twenty (20) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
twenty (20) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

conditions of this Agreement, the Seller sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, on each Supplemental

hereto as Exhibit H-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of
the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within
720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to
each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each
Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording
office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until
the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution
pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected
prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall
not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request
for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is
permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited
by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the
month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with
respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the
related Mortgage
II-8
File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's
request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases an
Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to a
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the
documents identified in any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 and declare that it will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it
will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage
Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental
Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a
Supplemental Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on
its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such
Supplemental Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Supplemental Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that
the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose
or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
On or about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date,
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller
a Final Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to
whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and
to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly
correct or
II-9
cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of
such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within
such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the
Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such
Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or
purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or
the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded
document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from
the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating
Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a)
which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to
which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such
notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage
Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above
or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if
any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially
in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate
Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's request such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant
to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Supplemental Mortgage
Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form
to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage
to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS'
rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System
the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Seller.
II-10
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller
and Master Servicer.
(a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in (i) Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date and
(ii) Schedule III hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if
so specified therein, as of the Initial Cut-off Date with respect to the
Initial Mortgage Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date or, if
so specified therein, as of the related Supplemental Cut-off Date with respect
to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in Schedule IV hereto, and by reference incorporated
herein to the Depositor and the Trustee as of the Closing Date.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) or a breach of
a representation or warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan
under Section 2.01(e)(i) that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller
hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its
receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) and with respect to a breach of
a representation or warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan
under Section 2.01(e)(i) which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in
all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such
90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the
manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant
to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage
Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee
for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in
respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the
best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor,
the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by
II-11
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made
in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations
and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) with respect to such
Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate
Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall
release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and
deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any
Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments
due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date
for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan
and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such
II-12
Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the
Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date
set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of
the Initial Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title
to the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee
all of its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, the representations and warranties of the Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(ii) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to
require the Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute
for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup
Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively,
or (ii) cause each REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master 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 promptly (and in any event within five (5)
Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's
option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with
respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a
breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The
Trustee
II-13
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 contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the
Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed
and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the
Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters
Person Certificate. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee
as follows:
(a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of the insurer under each Required
Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer,
statement furnished in writing or written report delivered
to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the
Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such
information, certificate, statement or report not
misleading.
II-14
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration,
the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms
hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this
Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation
Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section includes any Subsequent
Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or
prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it
protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any
claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make
or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents
requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to
execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such
documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master 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
Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be,
believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on
the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or
re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the
Trustee and its successors and assigns.
III-1
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further
as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if
any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any
Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related
subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans
in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions
taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans
include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master 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 subservicing agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect
to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether
such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor
the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the
III-2
Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the
Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of
the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to
Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee
or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each subservicing agreement; provided, however, that if
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall no longer be the Master Servicer,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall thereafter continue to be entitled
to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee and any successor servicer shall be
entitled to receive only the Basic Master Servicing Fee.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate
Account; Distribution Account; Supplemental Loan Account; Capitalized Interest
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance
with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance
Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or
penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii)
extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not
greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot
extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final
payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In
the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on
the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01
during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with
III-3
respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority
with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that
enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which
such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term
credit rating of Countrywide is reduced below "A-" by S&P or Fitch or "A3" by
Xxxxx'x, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts
required to be deposited hereunder:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
net of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and, for so long as Countrywide
Home Loans Servicing LP is the Master Servicer, the related Excess
Master Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the

(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan
equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from
the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Basic Master Servicing
Fee and, for so long as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Master
Servicer, the related Excess Master Servicing Fee.
III-4
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties,
late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by
the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice
thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate
Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders (other
than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the
Depositor pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses
on Permitted Investments for which it is responsible; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required
to be deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw
such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution
Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders
(other than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Certificate Account, the
Supplemental Loan Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the
Distribution Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed
in writing by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature
not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Supplemental
Loan Account or the Capitalized Interest Account, the second Business Day next
preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later
III-5
than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account
Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of
the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain
net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the
Certificate Account, or the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of
the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it
monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the
Certificate Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account
in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into
the Distribution Account, as applicable. The amount of any losses in the
Supplemental Loan Account or the Capitalized Interest Account incurred in any
such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by
the Depositor in the Supplemental Loan Account or Capitalized Interest
Account, as applicable. All income or gain (net of any losses) realized from
any such investment of funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account
shall be credited to the Capitalized Interest Account. The Trustee in its
fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Certificate Account, the Supplemental Loan Account, the Capitalized Interest
Account or the Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section
3.05.
(f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account,
the Supplemental Loan Account or the Capitalized Interest Account prior to any
change thereof.
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Supplemental Loan Account. On the Closing Date the
Seller shall remit the Supplemental Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the
Supplemental Loan Account. On each Supplemental Transfer Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to the Seller the Aggregate Supplemental
Transfer Amount held in escrow pursuant to Section 2.01(e) as payment of the
purchase price for the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans. If at any time the
Depositor becomes aware that the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of
Supplemental Mortgage Loans reflected on any Supplemental Transfer Agreement
exceeds the actual Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of the relevant
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may so notify the Trustee and the
Trustee shall redeposit into the Supplemental Loan Account the excess reported
to it by the Depositor.
If any funds remain in the Supplemental Loan Account at the end of
the Conveyance Period, to the extent that they represent earnings on the
amounts originally deposited into the Supplemental Loan Account, the Trustee
shall distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall
be transferred to the Distribution Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Group 1 Senior Certificates and Group 3 Senior
Certificates, to the
III-6
extent of the Remaining Non-PO Supplemental Loan Amount and the
Remaining PO Supplemental Loan Amount.
(h) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date the
Seller shall remit the aggregate Capitalized Interest Requirement to the
Trustee for deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On each Distribution
Account Deposit Date related to a Conveyance Period Distribution Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to
the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest
Requirement (which, to the extent required, may include investment earnings on
amounts on deposit therein) with respect to the amount remaining in the
Supplemental Loan Account for the related Distribution Date as identified by
the Seller in the Supplemental Transfer Agreement.
If any funds remain in the Capitalized Interest Account at the end of
the Conveyance Period, the Trustee shall make the transfer described in the
preceding paragraph if necessary for the remaining Conveyance Period
Distribution Date and the Trustee shall distribute any remaining funds in the
Capitalized Interest Account to the order of the Depositor.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the
Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and
insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest,
if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in
Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when
the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but
the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that
such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
III-7
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee
reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to
this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated
by the Master Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings
and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply
with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with
respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or
Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
providing such reports and access.
If Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not acting as Master
Servicer, the successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans
Servicing LP with such information as may be necessary to verify the amount of
the Excess Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date. If a question
should arise as to the proper amount of the Excess Master Servicing Fee, the
successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP
with access to such books and records and personnel of the successor Master
Servicer as may be necessary to establish the proper amount of the Excess
Master Servicing Fee.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and
the Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from
the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Master Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained by the Master Servicer) the servicing compensation to which
it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to the Master
Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or
investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the
Certificate Account;
(ii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee
for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on
the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee
for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made by it;
(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from
the related Insurance Proceeds;
III-8
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimbursement
pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
limited to amounts received on such Mortgage Loan(s) which represent
late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Basic
Master Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan
or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon
after the date of such purchase;
(vii) to reimburse the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable
pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof;
(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(ix) on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to
withdraw an amount equal to the related Available Funds and the
Trustee Fee (and if Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not the
Master Servicer, an amount equal to the Excess Master Servicing Fee)
for such Distribution Date and remit such amount to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount
of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account
for distributions to Certificateholders, in the manner specified in this
Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any
taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related
Distribution Date;
(ii) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation earnings on or investment income with respect to funds
in the Distribution Account;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount
deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be
deposited therein;
III-9
(iv) to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances made
by it pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such right of reimbursement
pursuant to this subclause (iv) being limited to (x) amounts received
on the related Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance
was made and (y) amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) hereof;
(v) to reimburse the Trustee for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof,
such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (v) being
limited to amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.08(a)(iii) hereof;
(vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and
(vii) if Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not the Master
Servicer, to pay to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP the Excess
Master Servicing Fee for the related Distribution Date.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each
Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard
hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that
contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred
by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or
remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage
Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds or
Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.08 hereof. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of
a Mortgage 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 is located at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such
area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master
Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such
Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least
of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the
III-10
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result
in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance
of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy
is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
Except with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or
equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the
premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise
recoverable shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related
liquidation proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries.
(c) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary
Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as
shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any
due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the
extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage
Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or
is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee
under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that
the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely
affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master
Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or
III-11
enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the
person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to
which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless
prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon,
provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered
before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required
Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also
authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required
Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with
such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which
a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out
the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material
term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of
the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts 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.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
III-12
advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required
Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards
the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such
restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds
(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the
Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation
proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master
Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is
contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is
located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for
the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the
Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such
risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental
review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or
through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO
Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality
where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and
protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any
part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with
respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance
of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to
comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net
monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and
withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to
foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of
the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and
any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such
tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and
delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as
soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds
thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
III-13
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the
expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be
rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal,
state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to
the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds
of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Mortgage Loan.
The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that
the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of
bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and
net of unreimbursed Basic Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing
Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the
related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such
Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for
all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and
interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial
prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Basic Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the
Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the
Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such
III-14
amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan
or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed;
and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds,
if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by
the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.14.
The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is
151 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before
the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan
became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month");
provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan which becomes current but
thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the
Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be
released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage
Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be
an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage
Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents,
free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with
respect thereto.
(b) The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage
Loan (the "Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a
refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is
approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans
having similar terms and (iii) the Master Servicer purchases the Modified
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately
after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which
the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage
Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Master
Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the
right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk
of default thereon, shall pass to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with
respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trustee shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the
Modified Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified
Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 within one
Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by
the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage
File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer any Modified
III-15
Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant hereto.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against
any liability for any "prohibited transaction" taxes and any related interest,
additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund established hereunder as a
result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this
subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund or
any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer (but such
obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate
Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings
and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Master
Servicer shall have no right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to
the foregoing indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any
tax, interest, and penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to
the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for
Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of such request,
the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute and
deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master
Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal
from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From
time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of
flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the
purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or
the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the
Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Master Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof
are deposited in the Certificate Account, in which case the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N,
signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to
III-16
obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds and any
Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount
equal to the sum of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and the Excess Master
Servicing Fee; provided, that the aggregate Basic Master Servicing Fee with
respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to
the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to
such Distribution Date, but not to exceed the Compensating Interest for such
Distribution Date, and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an
amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by
the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited; provided
further, that if a successor to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall be
appointed as Master Servicer for any reason, the Excess Master Servicing Fee
for each Distribution Date following such appointment shall be paid, pursuant
to this Section 3.14, to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP pursuant to
Section 3.08(b)(vii) hereof, and not to such successor to the Master Servicer.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds,
Prepayment Interest Excess, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late
payment charges and all income and gain net of any losses realized from
Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent
not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05 hereof.
III-17
The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder (including
payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary Insurance Policy
and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this
Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders and/or Certificate
Owners and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such
other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall
be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request
and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Master
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on
or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 2003 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to
the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of
any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and
the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such
statement to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
On or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal
year, commencing with its 2003 fiscal year, the Master Servicer at its expense
shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the
Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the
Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially
similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule
setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that,
on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit
Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been
conducted in compliance with such pooling and
III-18
servicing agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors
in records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering such statement, such firm
may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by
Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and
FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such statement
shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the
Master Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer
under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall,
together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for
persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In
the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master
Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer
or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master
Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to
the definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to
make an Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date,
either (i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance
or (ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances
with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has
been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has
not been liquidated.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to
comply with its obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the
second sentence of Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give
written notice thereof to the Trustee (each such notice a "Trustee Advance
Notice"; and such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M.,
New York time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master
Servicer Advance Date, specifying the amount that it will be unable to deposit
(each such amount an "Advance Deficiency") and certifying that such Advance
Deficiency constitutes an Advance hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Trustee receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:30
P.M., New York time on a Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee shall, not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the related Distribution Date, deposit
in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency
identified in such Trustee Advance Notice unless it is prohibited from so
doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not
be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written
notification from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited
or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such
Advance Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustee Advance
Rate from and including the date such Advances are made to but excluding the
date of repayment, with such interest being an obligation of the Master
Servicer and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later than the fifth day
following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the event that the
Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall immediately (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 3.04, assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder.
IV-1
(c) The Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date,

the Master Servicer has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should
be advanced and (ii) the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Master Servicer Advance
Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of
any proposed Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

Section 4.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), Section 4.02(a)(3)(iv)(y) or Section
4.02(a)(4)(iv)(y), as applicable, the related Accrual Amount shall be deemed
to have been added on such Distribution Date to the related Class Certificate
Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual Certificates (and included in
the amount distributable on the related Class or Classes or Component of
Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(1)(iii), Section
4.02(a)(2)(iii), Section 4.02(a)(3)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(4)(iii), as
applicable, for such Distribution Date) and the related distribution thereon
shall be deemed to have been applied concurrently towards the reduction of all
or a portion of the amount so added and, to the extent of any excess, towards
the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance or
IV-7
Component Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual Certificates
immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding any such
distribution, the Accrual Certificates shall continue to be a Class of Accrual
Certificates on each subsequent Distribution Date until the applicable Accrual
Termination Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priorities set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), Section 4.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), Section
4.02(a)(3)(iv)(y) and Section 4.02(a)(4)(iv)(y), the portion of Available
Funds available to be distributed as principal of the Group 1 Senior
Certificates, Group 2 Senior Certificates, Group 3 Senior Certificates and
Group 4 Senior Certificates, as applicable, (other than the related Class PO
Component, if any) shall be distributed concurrently, as principal, on such
Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate
Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i)
of the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class
of Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect to a
Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on and prior to the third Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount or after such third Senior Termination Date, the related Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date in the absence
of such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, and (ii) the related Class'
Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage Termination Date,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Special
Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of
the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as
interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B) after the
Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in
the related Loan Group (or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any
Mortgage Loan) that became subject to a Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar
month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest portion of
the related Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation, (C) each Relief Act
Reduction for the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (or after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) incurred during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (D) after the
Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in
the related Loan Group (or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any
Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud Loan during the calendar month preceding
the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the
related Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation
Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(6), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution) the
IV-8
sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and
of all Classes of Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical
Class desgination than such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage")
is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class,
no distribution of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the
"Restricted Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise
distributable to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of
Subordinated Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such
Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the
sequential order provided in Section 4.02(a)(6).
(f) If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan has been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect such Mortgage
Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially,
in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class Certificate Balance of
each Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but
in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of
such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate
Balance of each Certificate of such Class.
SECTION 4.03. [Reserved]
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, with
respect to the related Distribution Date. For purposes of allocating losses to
the Subordinated Certificates, the Class M Certificates will be deemed to have
a lower numerical Class desgination, and to be of a higher relative payment
priority, than each other Class of Subordinated Certificates.
(i) With respect to the Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 4, Realized
Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be allocated as
follows:
(A) any Realized Loss (other than an Excess Loss) on the
Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 4, shall be allocated first to the
Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective
numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the highest
numerical Class desgination) until the respective Class
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, and
second to the Group 4 Senior Certificates, pro rata on the basis
of their respective Class Certificate Balances; and
(B) Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 4
shall be allocated to the Group 4 Senior Certificates and the
Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, as
follows: the related Senior Percentage thereof shall be
allocated to the Group 4 Senior Certificates and, with respect
to each Class of Subordinated Certificates, the applicable
Assumed Balance for each such
IV-9
Class relating to Loan Group 4; provided, however, on any
Distribution Date after the third Senior Termination Date for
the Group 4 Senior Certificates, such Excess Losses on the
Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 4 will be allocated to the
Subordinated Certificates and all Classes and Components of
Senior Certificates regardless of Senior Certificate Group on
the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances,
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(ii) With respect to a Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group
2 and Loan Group 3, Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution
Date shall be allocated as follows:
(A) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss on a
Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 or Loan Group 3,
including any Excess Loss, shall be allocated to the Class PO-1
Component, if such Realized Loss relates to a Loan Group 1
Mortgage Loan until the Component Balance thereof is reduced to
zero, to the Class PO-2 Component, if such Realized Loss relates
to a Loan Group 2 Mortgage Loan until the Component Balance
thereof is reduced to zero and to the Class PO-3 Component, if
such Realized Loss relates to a Loan Group 3 Mortgage Loan until
the Component Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
(B) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss
on a Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 or Loan Group 3
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the
Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective
numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the highest
numerical Class desgination) until the respective Class
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, and
second to the Senior Certificates (other than any Notional
Amount Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO
Component), pro rata on the basis of their respective Class
Certificate Balances or, in the case of any Class of Accrual
Certificates, on the basis of the lesser of their Class
Certificate Balance and their initial Class Certificate Balance,
in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date
until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such
Class is been reduced to zero; provided however, that (i) any
Realized Losses (other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage
Loans in Loan Group 1 otherwise be allocable to the Class 1-A-6
and Class 1-A-8 Certificates shall be allocated to the Class
1-A-7 and Class 1-A-9 Certificates, respectively, until their
respective Class Certificate Balances are reduced to zero; and
(C) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses
on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 or Loan
Group 3 shall be allocated to the Classes of Certificates of the
related Senior Certificate Group (other than any Notional
Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO Component)
and the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, as
follows: the related Senior Percentage thereof shall be
allocated to the Group 1 Senior Certificates, the Group 2 Senior
Certificates and the Group 3 Senior Certificates on the basis
of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective
Class Certificate Balances, or in the case of any Class of
Accrual
IV-10
Certificates, on the basis of the lesser of its Class
Certificate Balance and its initial Class Certificate Balance,
in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date
and, with respect to each Class of Subordinated Certificates,
the applicable Assumed Balance for each such Class relating to
the Loan Group in which such Realized Loss occurs; provided,
however, on any Distribution Date after the Senior Termination
Date for such Senior Certificate Group, such Excess Losses on
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group will be allocated
to the Subordinated Certificates and the Classes or Components
of the Senior Certificates (other than the related classes of
Notional Amount Certificates and the related Class PO Component)
regardless of Senior Certificate Group on the basis of their
respective Class Certificate Balances, or in the case of any
Class of Accrual Certificates, on the basis of the lesser of its
Class Certificate Balance and its initial Class Certificate
Balance, in each case immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class desgination
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by (x) with respect to the Group 4
Certificates, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class
Certificate Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates in that
Certificate Group exceeds the Loan Group Principal Balance for such
Distribution Date and (y) with respect to Certificate Group 1, Certificate
Group 2 and Certificate Group 3, the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on
the Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts and (ii) the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of
all outstanding Classes of Certificates in that Certificate Group (after
giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized
Losses and Class PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the
Loan Group Principal Balance for such Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 4.04(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be.
SECTION 4.05. Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds
(a) On each Distribution Date prior to the earlier of the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date and the third Senior Termination Date, but after
the date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Senior
Certificates, other than the related Class PO Component, of a Senior
Certificate Group has been reduced to zero, the Trustee shall distribute the
Non-PO Formula Principal Amount for the Loan Group relating to the Senior
Certificates that will have been paid in full, to the holders of the Senior
Certificates of the remaining Certificate Group,
IV-11
other than the related Class PO Component, pro rata, based on their respective
Class Certificate Balances.
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Certificate
Balance of Senior Certificates, other than the related Class PO Component, of
a Senior Certificate Group, after giving effect to distributions to be made on
that Distribution Date, is greater than the Non-PO Pool Balance for the
related Loan Group (an "Undercollateralized Group"), then the Trustee shall
reduce the Available Funds of the other Loan Groups that are not
undercollateralized (an "Overcollateralized Group"), and distribute such funds
as follows:
(1) to add to the Available Funds of each Undercollateralized Group
an amount equal to the Available Funds of the Overcollateralized
Group remaining after making distributions to the Senior Certificates
of the Overcollateralized Group on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.02; and
(2) to the Senior Certificates, other than the related Class PO
Component, of each Undercollateralized Group, to the extent of the
principal portion of Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group
remaining after making distributions to the Senior Certificates of
the Overcollateralized Group on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.02, until the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the
Senior Certificates, other than the related Class PO Component, of
such Undercollateralized Group equals the Non-PO Pool Balance in the
related Loan Group.
If more than one Overcollateralized Group exists on any Distribution
Date, reductions in the Available Funds of such groups to make the payments
required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) on such Distribution Date
shall be made pro rata, based on the amount of remaining Available Funds for
each such Overcollateralized Loan Group. If more than one Undercollateralized
Group exists on any Distribution Date, the payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 4.05 on such Distribution Date shall be made pro
rata, based on the amount of payments required to be made to the
Undercollateralized Group.
SECTION 4.06. Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare
and cause to be forwarded by first class mail to each Certificateholder, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency a statement setting
forth with respect to the related distribution:
(i) the amount thereof allocable to principal, separately
identifying the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments,
Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries included therein;
(ii) the amount thereof allocable to interest, any Class Unpaid
Interest Amounts included in such distribution and any remaining
Class Unpaid Interest Amounts after giving effect to such
distribution;
(iii) if the distribution to the Holders of such Class of
Certificates is less than the full amount that would be distributable
to such Holders if there were sufficient funds
IV-12
available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the
allocation thereof as between principal and interest;
(iv) the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates
after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such
Distribution Date;
(v) the Pool Stated Principal Balance for the following
Distribution Date;
(vi) the Senior Percentage and Subordinated Percentage for the
following Distribution Date;
(vii) the amount of the Excess Master Servicing Fee and Basic
Master Servicing Fees paid to or retained by the Master Servicer with
respect to such Distribution Date;
(viii) the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Certificates with
respect to such Distribution Date;
(ix) the amount of Advances included in the distribution on such
Distribution Date and the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as
of the close of business on such Distribution Date;
(x) the number and aggregate principal amounts of Mortgage Loans
(A) delinquent (exclusive of Mortgage Loans in foreclosure) (1) 1 to
30 days (2) 31 to 60 days (3) 61 to 90 days and (4) 91 or more days
and (B) in foreclosure and delinquent (1) 1 to 30 days (2) 31 to 60
days (3) 61 to 90 days and (4) 91 or more days, as of the close of
business on the last day of the calendar month preceding such
Distribution Date;
(xi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became an REO
Property during the preceding calendar month, the loan number and
Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of
business on the Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date
and the date of acquisition thereof;
(xii) the total number and principal balance of any REO
Properties (and market value, if available) as of the close of
business on the Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date;
(xiii) the Senior Prepayment Percentage for the following
Distribution Date;
(xiv) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses incurred during
the preceding calendar month and the aggregate amount of Subsequent

Coverage Amount and the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount, in each case
as of the related Determination Date; and
IV-13
(xvi) with respect to the second Conveyance Period Distribution
Date, the number and aggregate balance of any Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans not delivered within thirty days after the Closing Date, the
Remaining Non-PO Supplemental Loan Amount and Remaining PO
Supplemental Loan Amount distributed as principal.
The Trustee may make the above information available to Certificateholders via
the Trustee's website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
(b) The Trustee's responsibility for disbursing the above information
to the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and
accuracy of the information provided by the Master Servicer.
(c) On or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each
Prepayment Period (but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to
the related Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee (which delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in
substantially the form set forth as Schedule VI hereto.
(d) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time
during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the
information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section
4.06 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any
requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.
SECTION 4.07. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI
Certificates.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be
determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the
applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement.
Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual
Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not
later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but
following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through
Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during
the related Interest Accrual Period.
Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the
respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular
Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding
the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside
Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar
month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the
Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside
Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months
preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the
related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and
for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of
IV-14
Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual
Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds
Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such
Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index
for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual
Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date,
then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual
Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below.
With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable
Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by
the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section
4.08.
In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely
and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether
written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New
York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in
effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such
arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.08. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR
Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of
the British Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for
one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00
a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means
the display page currently so designated on the Moneyline Telerate Service
(formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other page as may replace that page
on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined
as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either
(i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered
by its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar
deposits in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making
any such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such
time on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap
Dealers Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions
for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest
Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on each interest
Determination Date as follows:
IV-15
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of
the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i)
LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or
(ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be
the rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole
multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending
rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting,
on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal London
offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such
quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee, being so made, or (ii)
in the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean,
the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which New York
City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is
required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related Classes
of Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding
applicable Interest Determination Date.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee
will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of
determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The Master
Servicer initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank"
shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of
determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference
Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each
Interest Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding
on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the
offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from
the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as
IV-16
to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate,
as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any
liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of
New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or
(ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such
quotations from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this
Section 4.08.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
IV-17
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor,
if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a
Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any
Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate
principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by
first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and
(c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
V-1
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance
with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate")
and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Seller and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private
Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
K or Exhibit L, or in the event such
V-2
Certificate is a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is
not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or
a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using the assets of any such
plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of a Certificate
that is an ERISA-Restricted Certificate and that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general
account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of
such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii)
in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in
the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of
any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or
arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and holding of
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will
not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is
not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to
in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an
initial acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer
of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of
V-3
any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates
required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above,
the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a
Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as
nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a
Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has
actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of
this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest
no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee
shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for
making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter.
The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any
Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time
as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on
such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such
payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by
the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available,
upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the
Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition
of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion
of
V-4
Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure
that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and
at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by
the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants
with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of
such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of
V-5
such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide
the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the
issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the
Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become
liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a)
request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose
to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, (x) provide the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of
such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any, and (y) assist the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at such
recipients' expense with obtaining from the Depository a list of the
V-6
related Depository Participants acting on behalf of Certificate
Owners of Book Entry Certificates. The Depositor and every Certificateholder
and Certificate Owner, by receiving and holding a Certificate or beneficial
interest therein, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders and/or Depository Participants hereunder, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee
initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee
will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in
such location of any such office or agency.

SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the
laws of one of the states thereof and 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, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer will keep in effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of
the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will
obtain and preserve its qualification or registration to do business as a
foreign partnership in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or
registration is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or
surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage
loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller,
the Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or
warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reasons 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 Seller, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
VI-1
hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any director,

shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or
judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans

pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties
hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and
receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of
the rating of any of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered
to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee
or a successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the
Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to
be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall
continue unremedied for five days after the date upon which written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in
any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which
failure materially affects the rights of Certificateholders, that
failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date
on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the
Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;
provided, however, that the sixty-day cure period shall not apply to
the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
consecutive days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the
property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the
Trustee within five days of the Master Servicer Advance Date for any
Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) together with
accrued and unpaid interest.
VII-1
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this
Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice
in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency),
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other
than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by
the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall
thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed to make subject to
Section 4.01 hereof whether or not the obligations of the Master Servicer have
been terminated pursuant to this Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no
such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of
any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due
prior to the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion
thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to
Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),and any other amounts payable to such
Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and
to the extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the
obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor
any other successor to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP as Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise
VII-2
unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution
the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of
the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master
Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved
seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes
and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such
delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section
6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section
7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement;
and provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of
the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation
will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out
of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Basic Master
Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other
successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any
duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of
the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or
providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give
notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term
of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies
that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the
Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent
and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with
MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Master Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to the 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(R) System to
the successor Master Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the
MERS(R) System the successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage
Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer
shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt
VII-3
of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy
certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was
recorded.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine
whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have
occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have
been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement, and
(iv) without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section
8.01 or Section 8.02 hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on the information delivered to it by the Master
Servicer in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining
VIII-1
whether or not it is required to make an Advance under Section
4.01(b), shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm any
information contained in any Trustee Advance Notice, and shall have
no obligation to make any Advance under Section 4.01(b) in the
absence of a Trustee Advance Notice.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party
or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain
or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or
parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any 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 liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer
of the investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall
have received written notice thereof; and
VIII-2
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the
MERS System other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any
funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates
or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation
or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A)
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant,
engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
VIII-3
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to
perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in
connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement
for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary
course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent
hereunder or for any other expenses.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a
credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or
withdraw their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having
provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such
reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation
or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07
hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust
relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and
its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of
the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the
Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a
tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the
Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be
avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the
Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in triplicate, one
VIII-4
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the
successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each
Rating Agency by the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its
appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
VIII-5
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any
part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power
to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee
under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master
Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in
such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable
Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any
such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable
for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
VIII-6
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees,
when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with
the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC
election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be
such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent
(and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such
REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the
Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make
or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the
federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and,
if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original
issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information
necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent
(including a broker,
VIII-7
nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a
pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such
information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the
extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets
at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the
status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the tax status of any REMIC; (h) pay, from the sources
specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any
federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same
shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or
any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure
that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records
relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of
the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may
be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such
REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination
or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative
adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on
behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows
of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such
additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time,
reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the
Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data
to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed,
including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC
hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be
paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this
VIII-8
Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum
tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master
Servicer or Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the
Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's obligation
to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all
other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or
(iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to
the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b).
VII-9
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with
respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase
by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in
the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated
Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan plus one month's accrued interest
thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate, (ii) the lesser of (x) the
appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Master
Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, and (iii) any
remaining unpaid costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund that arises out
of a violation of any predatory or abusive lending law that also constitutes
an actual breach of clause (46) on Schedule III, in all cases plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (b) the
later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant
to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond
the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii) the
Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) in the
preceding paragraph of this Section 9.01 only on or after the date on which
the Master Servicer determines that the customary and reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in the performance of the Master Servicer of its servicing
obligations hereunder exceed the benefits accruing to the Master Servicer;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer exercise its
right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund
pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding paragraph of this Section 9.01 before
the date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, at the time of any such
repurchase, is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Cut-off Date
Pool Principal Balance.
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice
to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to
the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master
Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase
price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
IX-1
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given
promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier
than the 10th day and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding
the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein
designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the
office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and
(d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will
give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause
all funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the
applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in
respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust
Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the
Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for
the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each
case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section
4.02, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class
of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of
an interest bearing Certificate and (b) any Class PO Deferred Amounts in the
case of Class PO Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other
than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause
(i) above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in
the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all
unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject
hereto.

provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to
the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to conform this Agreement
to the Prospectus Supplement provided to investors in connection with the
initial offering of the Certificates, (iv) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer, (v) to add any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (vi) to modify,
alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in
this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (v) or (vi) above
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided,
however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and
agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment that significantly changes the
permitted activities of the trust created by this Agreement may be made
without the consent of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates
affected by such amendment. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the
consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the
qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that
would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates
or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the
Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an
expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is
necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii)
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply
with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in
a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating 66-2/3%, or (iii) reduce the
X-1
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders
of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have
first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that
(i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth
in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant
to this Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at its
expense, but only upon direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially
affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument.
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.

SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) Trust
Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Seller or Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other
reason this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement is held or deemed
to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement
or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be a security
agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
New York) with respect to all such assets and security interests and (ii) the
conveyances provided for in this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer
Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement (i) by the Seller to the Depositor or (ii) by the
Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a
security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the
Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code
continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or
assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

the Master Servicer, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two
Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.

4. Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.02, 2.03 or 3.11.

of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and

of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such

take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or
members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any
liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as
herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have
made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee,
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted
by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of
this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of
any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall
be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit and will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer's normal business hours,
to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Master Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its
officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision
the Master Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense
incident to the exercise by the
X-5
Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall
be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses
shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer.

Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of non delinquent
current real property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in
the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related
Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
5. Immediately prior to the assignment of each Mortgage Loan to
the Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner
of, such Mortgage Loan
S-III-1

9. As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date, with respect
to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and in
good repair.

respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including,
without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, predatory and
abusive lending laws, real estate settlement procedures,
truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of
any such laws.
11. As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect

recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been
delivered to the Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such
Mortgage in whole or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property

Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder)
to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of
each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full
force and effect, and each such policy was issued by a title insurer
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located and acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and is in a form
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which policy insures the Seller and
successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as
to the first priority lien of the
S-III-2
Mortgage subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (4)
above; to the best of the Seller's knowledge, no claims have been
made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder
of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage
title insurance policy.
13. Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
by an entity that satisfied at the time of origination the
requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
14. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the
improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
15. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no improvement
located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of
any applicable zoning law or regulation. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a
material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and
the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
16. Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law. To

and the Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties.
17. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully
disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in
making, or closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid.
18. The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise
by judicial foreclosure.
S-III-3
19. With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust,
a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor.
20. Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one
of the forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have
been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.
21. There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits
and payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements
for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or
payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have been
capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note.
22. The origination, underwriting and collection practices used
by the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all
respects legal, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending and
servicing business.
23. There is no pledged account or other security other than
real estate securing the Mortgagor's obligations.
24. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
25. Each Mortgage Loan contains a customary "due on sale"
clause.
26. Six of the Initial Mortgage Loans provide for a prepayment
penalty.
27. Each Mortgage Loan which had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80% is the subject of a Primary Insurance
Policy that insures that portion of the principal balance equal to a
specified percentage times the sum of the remaining principal balance
of the related Mortgage Loan, the accrued interest thereon and the
related foreclosure expenses. The specified percentage is 12% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value
Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 90.01% and 95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between
95.01% and 100%. Each such Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a
Qualified Insurer. All provisions of any such Primary Insurance
Policy have been and are being complied with, any such policy is in
full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been
paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee thereunder to
maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of
Section 3.09(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage
Rate for each Mortgage Loan is net of any such insurance premium.
28. As of the Closing date or the related Supplemental Transfer
Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a
valid and existing
S-III-4
hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that
provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other
hazards as are 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 securing such Mortgage
Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such
policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the
mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a
blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such individual
insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (29)
below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the
original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and
the Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable
thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance including flood insurance
at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure
to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and
maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to
seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
29. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property
with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.
30. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no
proceeding occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.
31. There is no material monetary default existing under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, there is no material event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or
cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and
the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
32. Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family
residential dwelling including condominium units and dwelling units
in PUDs, which, to the best of Seller's knowledge, does not include
cooperatives or mobile homes and does not constitute other than real
property under state law.
33. Each Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master
Servicer.
S-III-5
34. Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master Servicer to make
future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.
35. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums,
water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground
rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an
escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay
for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed,
but is not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in the nature
of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of the
Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds,
whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due
Date of the first installment of principal and interest, including
without limitation, taxes and insurance payments, the Master Servicer
has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.
36. Other than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation
Mortgage Loan as to which the loan-to-value ratio of the related
Original Mortgage Loan was less than 90% at the time of the
origination of such Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the approval of
the Mortgage Loan application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by
the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and
whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of
the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA and
FHLMC.
37. None of the Initial Mortgage Loans are graduated payment
mortgage loans or a growing equity mortgage loans, and none of the
Initial Mortgage Loans are subject to a buydown or similar
arrangement.
38. Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of
not less than five years in excess of the term of the related
Mortgage Loan.
39. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding
fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in Countrywide's
portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the representations and
warranties made as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this Schedule
III can be made. Such selection was not made in a manner intended to
adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders.
40. All of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1,
approximately 67.57% of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 3
and approximately 1.88% and 80.13% of the Mortgage Loans in Loan
Group 2 and Loan Group 4, respectively, were underwritten in all
material respects in accordance with the Seller's underwriting
S-III-6
guidelines as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. Approximately
63.32% of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 were
underwritten in all material respects in accordance with the HSBC
Mortgage Corporation (USA) underwriting guidelines as set forth in
the Prospectus Supplement. Approximately 22.35% of the Mortgage Loans
in Loan Group 2 were underwritten in all material respects in
accordance with the SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. underwriting guidelines
as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. Each of the remaining
Mortgage Loans were underwritten in all material respects in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under
"Mortgage Loan Program - Underwriting Process".
41. Except for 223 Initial Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Loan
has a payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the
first Distribution Date.
42. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit
has been delivered to the Trustee certifying that the original
Mortgage Note is a Lost Mortgage Note, if such Mortgage Loan is
subsequently in default, the enforcement of such Mortgage Loan or of
the related Mortgage by or on behalf of the Trustee will not be
materially adversely affected by the absence of the original Mortgage
Note. A "Lost Mortgage Note" is a Mortgage Note the original of which
was permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced.
43. The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate,
conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the
Prospectus Supplement.
44. The aggregate principal balance of the Discount Mortgage
Loans in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3 will not exceed
$180,335,428.06.
45. Each Mortgage Loan was (A) originated no earlier than six
months prior to the time the Seller purchased such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement or other similar
agreement and (B) underwritten or reunderwritten by the Seller in
accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines in effect at the
time the loan was underwritten or reunderwritten, as applicable.
46. None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to the Georgia Fair
Lending Act, as amended.
47. None of the Mortgage Loans are "high cost" loans as defined
by applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
48. None of the Mortgage Loans are covered by the Home Ownership
and Equity Protection Act of 1994 ("HOEPA").

[No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is
B-3
exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such
laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption
from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the

transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an

representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general
account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of
such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii)

an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer to the effect that
the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in a prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, will not
result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and
will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Master Servicer. [Such representation shall be deemed to have
been made to the Trustee by the Transferee's acceptance of a Certificate of
this Class and by a beneficial owner's acceptance of its interest in a
Certificate of this Class.] Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
herein, any purported transfer of a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf
of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void and of no effect.]

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees

for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made

other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder

circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as

STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _____________, the proposed
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among CWMBS,
Inc., as depositor (the "Depositor"), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as seller,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer and The Bank of New
York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit
1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The
Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of
the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account or as the nominee,
trustee or agent of another Person, in which case the Transferee has attached
hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this
affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the
pass-through entity does not have actual
I-1
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(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by
and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is ____________.
9. The Transferee is a 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 anticipates that it will, so long as it holders
the Class A-R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by
the holder of such Class A-R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for
the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class A-R Certificates
that the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class
A-R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class A-R
Certificates. The Transferee has provided financial statements or other
financial information requested by the Transferor in connection with the
transfer of the Class A-R Certificates to permit the Transferor to assess the
financial capability of
I-2
the Transferee to pay such taxes. The Transferee is not an employee
benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section
4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan.
12. Either (i) the Transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject
to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on
behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan to effect such
acquisition, or, (ii) the source of funds for the purchase of such Class A-R
Certificate is an "insurance company general account" within the meaning of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925
(July 12, 1995), and the terms and conditions of Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 are applicable to the acquisition and holding of such Class A-R
Certificate.

--------------------------------
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a

the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to
the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been

or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter.
The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any
Holder of a Class A-R
I-6
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became
other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class
A-R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT
THIS SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of ____________, 200_
(this "Supplemental Transfer Agreement"), among CWMBS, INC., a Delaware
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a
New York corporation, as seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
referred to below ( the "Seller"), and The Bank of New York, a New York
banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee");
WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and Countrywide Home
Loans Servicing LP, as Master Servicer, have entered in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of [month] 1, 2003 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), in relation to the CHL Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 200_-_,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-_;
WHEREAS, Section 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
provides for the parties hereto to enter into this Supplemental Transfer
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good
and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged the parties hereto agree as follows:
(a) The "Supplemental Transfer Date" with respect to this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be ________, 200_.
(b) The "Aggregate Supplemental Purchase Amount" with respect to this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be $________; provided, however, that
such amount shall not exceed the amount on deposit in the Supplemental Loan
Account.
(c) The "Capitalized Interest Requirement" with respect to this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be $________; provided, however, that
such amount shall not exceed the amount on deposit in the Capitalized Interest
Account.
(d) The Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on the Supplemental
Transfer Date shall be determined by the Seller as follows:
(i) The Seller shall list all funded mortgage loans then owned
by it that qualify for inclusion in the Trust Fund by the date on
which they were funded, and for each date, the Mortgagors shall be
listed alphabetically. Beginning with the earliest date, sequentially
by date and within a date alphabetically, the listed loans shall be
included in the Trust Fund until either their aggregate Stated
Principal Balance is less than or equal to the Supplemental Purchase
Amount without exceeding it or all of the listed loans have been
transferred.
(ii) Once the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans are
identified in this manner, the total potential Trust Fund shall be
tested for compliance with the characteristics identified in Section
2.01(e) after taking into account the addition of such potential
Supplemental Mortgage Loans. If any group characteristic is outside
any permitted parameter by more than 5% of the
P-1
parameter (or 10% of such parameter, with respect to the Average
Stated Principal Balance, or 10 basis points of such parameter, with
respect to the weighted average mortgage rate, or two months of such
parameter, with respect to the weighted average remaining term to
maturity) then beginning with the last mortgage loan initially added
as a potential Supplemental Mortgage Loan and progressing in reverse
order, any potential Supplemental Mortgage Loan having a
characteristic that is outside of the permitted parameters of a
parameter violated by the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans in
the aggregate shall be removed. Then additional mortgage loans shall
be added as provided in the preceding paragraph except that no
mortgage loan shall be added if it has a characteristic that is
outside of the permitted parameters of a parameter violated by the
potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the aggregate. This
procedure shall be repeated until the pool characteristics for the
Trust Fund identified in Section 2.01(e) are satisfied within 5% of
each parameter (other than with respect to the Average Stated
Principal Balance for which it must be within 10%, the weighted
average mortgage rate for which it must be within 10 basis points,
and the weighted average remaining term to maturity for which it must
be within two months) of each parameter specified in those
representations and warranties after taking into account the addition
of the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans.
(e) In case any provision of this Supplemental Transfer Agreement
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
(f) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall prevail.
(g) This Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be governed by, and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.
(h) The Supplemental Transfer Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.
