This
Pooling And Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2007, among IndyMac
MBS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”), IndyMac Bank,
F.S.B. (“IndyMac”), a federal savings bank,
as seller (in that capacity, the “Seller”) and as
servicer (in that capacity, the “Servicer”), and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as
trustee
(the “Trustee”),
W
I
T
N E S S E T H T H A T
In
consideration of the mutual agreements set forth in this Agreement, the
parties
agree as follows:
P
R E L I M I N A R Y S T A T E M E N T
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the
Trustee
in return for the Certificates. As provided in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of any amounts in respect
of
waived Prepayment Charges paid by the Servicer to the Class P Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.20(b) and any amounts in respect of waived Late Payment
Fees paid by the Servicer to the Class L Certificates pursuant to Section
3.21(b)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three
real
estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”
or, in the alternative, “REMIC 1A,” “REMIC
1B” and the “Master
REMIC”). 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 each
REMIC created under this Agreement. The Master REMIC will hold as
assets the several classes of uncertificated REMIC 1A and REMIC 1B Interests
(other than the Class R-1A and Class 1B Interest). REMIC 1A will hold
as assets all property of the Trust Fund in respect of Loan Group 1 (exclusive
of any amounts in respect of waived Prepayment Charges paid by the Servicer
to
the Class I-P Certificates pursuant to Section 3.20(b) and any amounts
in
respect of waived Late Payment Fees paid by the Servicer to the Class I-L
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.21(b)). REMIC 1B will hold as
assets all property of the Trust Fund in respect of Loan Groups 2 and 3
(exclusive of any amounts in respect of waived Prepayment Charges paid
by the
Servicer to the Class II-P Certificates pursuant to Section 3.20(b) and
any
amounts in respect of waived Late Payment Fees paid by the Servicer to
the Class
II-L Certificates pursuant to Section 3.21(b)). Each REMIC 1A
Interest (other than the Class R-1A Interest) is hereby designated as a
regular
interest in REMIC 1A. Each REMIC 1B Interest (other than the Class
R-1B Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
1B. The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests
created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date. All amounts in respect of waived Prepayment Charges paid by the
Servicer to the Class I-P and Class II-P Certificates, as applicable, pursuant
to Section 3.20(b) will be treated as paid directly by the Servicer to
the Class
I-P and Class II-P Certificates, as applicable, and not as paid by or through
any REMIC created under this Agreement.
REMIC
1A
REMIC
1A will issue regular interests,
each of which correspond to a Group 1 Mortgage Loan, and whose pass through
rates and principal balances on each Distribution Date will equal the mortgage
rates and principal balances of their corresponding Mortgage Loans on the
Due
Date of the immediately preceding month. The Class R-1A Interest is
the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1A and will not bear interest
or be
entitled to principal.
REMIC

The
REMIC

Each
Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9%
of the
Assumed Balance (calculated for this purpose solely as if there were no
adjustment for any Senior Termination Date) of its corresponding Loan Group.
Each Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to
0.1% of
the the Assumed Balance (calculated for this purpose solely as if there
were no
adjustment for any Senior Termination Date) of its corresponding Loan Group.
The
initial principal balance of each Class C Interest will equal the excess
of the
initial aggregate principal balance of its corresponding Loan Group over
the
initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests
corresponding to such Loan Group.
(2)
The
Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the corresponding Loan
Group.
(3)
The
Class 1B-II-P Interests will not bear interest. The Class 1B-II-P
Interests will be entitled to 100% of any Prepayment Charges paid on the
Mortgage Loans in Aggregate Group II.
(4)
The
Class R-1B Interest is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1B.
It has
no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be distributed with respect
to the
REMIC 1B Interests in the following manner:
(1)
Interest is to be distributed with respect to each REMIC 1B Interest according
to the formulas described above;
2
(2)
Principal Amounts and Realized Losses will be allocated to make the Class
1B-II-P balance equal to the principal balance of the Class II-P-1 and
Class
II-P-2 Certificates, in the aggregate for such Distribution
Date.
(3)
If
Cross-Over Situation does not exist with respect to any Class of Interests,
then
Principal Amounts and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Loan
Group
will be allocated: first to cause the Loan Group's corresponding Class
A and
Class B, if any, to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the Assumed Balance (calculated
for this purpose solely as if there were no adjustment for any Senior
Termination Date) and 0.1% of the Assumed Balance (calculated for this
purpose
solely as if there were no adjustment for any Senior Termination Date);
and
second to the Loan Group’s corresponding Class C Interest;
(4)
If a
Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Interests
then:
(a)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests
is less than the Pass-Through Rate in respect of the Group II Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately
to the
outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other distributions of principal
from
each such Loan Group; and
(b)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests
is greater than the Pass-Through Rate in respect of the Group II Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately
to the
outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other distributions of principal
from
each such Loan Group.
In
case
of either (a) or (b), Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as
to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests
to equal the Pass-Through Rate in respect of the Group II Subordinated
Certificates. With respect to each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that)
the
sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Amount received
during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
in that
Loan Group, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal
on
the Class A and Class B Interests, then interest will be added to the Loan
Group's other REMIC 1B Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation
Payments, in proportion to their principal balances.
(c)
Unless otherwise required to achieve the Calculation Rate, the outstanding
aggregate Class A and Class B Interests for all Loan Groups will not be
reduced
below 1% of the excess of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of
the
Mortgage Loans in Aggregate Loan Group II as of the end of any Due Period
(reduced by any Principal Prepayments received after the Due Period that
are to
be distributed on the Distribution Date related to the Due Period) over
(ii) the
aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates (excluding
the
Class A-R Certificates) for all Certificate Groups related to Aggregate
Loan
Group II as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account
distributions of principal on such Distribution Date).
If
(and
to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution
of
principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Loan Group, and if
the Loan
Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess
principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the Class C Interests of
the
other Loan Group, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which
are less
than 1% of the Assumed Balance (calculated for this purpose solely as if
there
were no adjustment for any Senior Termination Date). If the Mortgage
Loans in the Loan Group of the Class C Interest that receives such payment
has a
Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate below the Weighted Average
Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate of the Loan Group making the payment, then the payment
will be
treated by the REMIC 1B as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Loan Group
of the
Class C Interest that receives such payment has a Weighted Average Adjusted
Net
Mortgage Rate above the Weighted Average Adjusted
3
Net
Mortgage Rate of the Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will
be
treated by the REMIC 1B as a reimbursement for prior Realized
Losses.

Mortgage
Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular
interest, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for
credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest.
For
any
purpose for which the Pass-Through Rates is calculated, the interest rate
on the
Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the difference
between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage Loans and the
monthly
day count convention of the regular interests issued by each of the
REMICs. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates for each
of the interests issued by REMIC 1 and the Master REMIC such rates shall
be
adjusted to equal a monthly day count
5
convention
based on a 30 day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that
the
Mortgage Loans and all regular interests will be using the same monthly
day
count convention.

1.02 Rules
of Construction.
Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or unless the context clearly
requires otherwise
(a) References
to designated articles, sections, subsections, exhibits, and other subdivisions
of this Agreement, such as “Section 6.12 (a),” refer to the designated article,
section, subsection, exhibit, or other subdivision of this Agreement as a
whole
and to all subdivisions of the designated article, section, subsection, exhibit,
or other subdivision. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto,”
“hereunder,” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular article, section, exhibit, or other subdivision
of this Agreement.
(b) Any
term
that relates to a document or a statute, rule, or regulation includes any
amendments, modifications, supplements, or any other changes that may have
occurred since the document, statute, rule, or regulation came into being,
including changes that occur after the date of this Agreement.
(c) Any
party
may execute any of the requirements under this Agreement either directly
or
through others, and the right to cause something to be done rather than doing
it
directly shall be implicit in every requirement under this
Agreement. Unless a provision is restricted as to time or limited as
to frequency, all provisions under this Agreement are implicitly available
and
things may happen from time to time.
43
(d) The
term
“including” and all its variations mean “including but not limited to.” Except
when used in conjunction with the word “either,” the word “or” is always used
inclusively (for example, the phrase “A or B” means “A or B or both,” not
“either A or B but not both”).
(e) A
reference to “a [thing]” or “any [of a thing]” does not imply the existence or
occurrence of the thing referred to even though not followed by “if any,” and
“any [of a thing]” is any of it. A reference to the plural of
anything as to which there could be either one or more than one does not
imply
the existence of more than one (for instance, the phrase “the obligors on a
note” means “the obligor or obligors on a note”). “Until [something
occurs]” does not imply that it must occur, and will not be modified by the word
“unless.” The word “due” and the word “payable” are each used in the sense that
the stated time for payment has passed. The word “accrued” is used in
its accounting sense, i.e., an amount paid is no longer accrued. In
the calculation of amounts of things, differences and sums may generally
result

over
another results in zero or a negative number, the calculation is disregarded

accounting principles, the definitions contained in this Agreement shall
control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition

Section
2.01 Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby
transfers to the Depositor, without recourse, all the interest of the Seller
in
each Mortgage Loan, including all interest and principal received or receivable
by the Seller on each Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date and all interest
and
principal payments on each Mortgage Loan received before the Cut-off Date
for
installments of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date but not
including payments of principal and interest due by the Cut-off Date. By
the
Closing Date, 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 Mortgage Loans that are Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans,
such
delivery may take place within five Business Days of the Closing Date) as
of the
Closing Date. The 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
Mortgage Loan that does not have a first payment date on or before the Due
Date
in the month of the first Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit into
the
Distribution Account on the first Distribution Account Deposit 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. On the Closing
Date the Depositor shall deposit $300 into the Certificate Account for the
benefit of the Class I-P, Class II-P-1 and Class II-P-2
Certificates.
(b) The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby transfers to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all the interest of the Depositor in the Trust Fund, together
with the Depositor’s right to require the Seller to cure any breach of a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Seller or to repurchase
or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this
Agreement.
(c) In
connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor
has delivered (or, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans, will
deliver to the Trustee within the time periods specified in the definition
of
Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans), for the benefit of the Certificateholders
the
following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so
assigned:
(i) The
original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in blank
in
the following form: “Pay to the order of _______________ ______________without
recourse,” with all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
endorsement from the originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note
(each
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so endorsing,
as noteholder or assignee thereof, in that Mortgage Note) or a lost note
affidavit for any Lost Mortgage Note from the Seller stating that the original
Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of the 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
45
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 a 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 the mortgage (each assignment, when duly and validly completed,
to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer
to its assignee of the Mortgage to which the assignment relates). If
the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, the assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be
provided by the recording office. The assignment of Mortgage need not
be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgage Property
is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
(iv) The
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance, or
substitution agreement.
(v) Except
as
provided below, the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy and all
its riders.
(vi) The
originals of the following documents for each Cooperative Loan:
|
(A)
|
the
Co-op Shares, together with a stock power in
blank;
|
|
(B)
|
the
executed Security Agreement;
|
|
(C)
|
the
executed Proprietary Lease;
|
|
(D)
|
the
executed Recognition Agreement;
|
|
(E)
|
the
executed UCC-1 financing statement that has been filed in all
places
required to perfect the Seller’s interest in the Co-op Shares and the
Proprietary Lease with evidence of recording on it;
and
|
|
(F)
|
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 Seller’s expense, the MERS® System to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Depositor have
been
assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case
of
Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such
computer files the information required by the MERS® 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 Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the
information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan
sold
by the Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless and
until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
46
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 of this Agreement
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 Servicer or the Depositor
by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, then the
Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii)
or
(iii) above, the original Mortgage or the interim assignment, as the case
may
be, with evidence of recording indicated on when it is received from the
public
recording office, or a copy of it, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office and in the case of clause (v) above, the original or a copy
of
a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued
by
the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or duplicate copy
thereof to be delivered to the Trustee upon receipt thereof. The
delivery of the original Mortgage Loan and each interim assignment or a copy
of
them, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, shall
not be
made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause
(v) above, later than 120 days following the Closing Date. If the
Depositor is unable to deliver each Mortgage by that date and each interim
assignment because any documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each interim assignment, because the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office,
the
Depositor shall deliver the documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon their receipt and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date.
The
Depositor shall forward 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 Servicer
to
the Trustee. If the original Mortgage is not delivered and in
connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan the public
recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and
indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can
be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer
shall execute and deliver the required document to the public recording
office. If a public recording office retains the original recorded
Mortgage or if a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Mortgage certified
by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage.
As
promptly as practicable after any transfer of a Mortgage Loan under this
Agreement, and in any event within thirty days after the transfer, the Trustee
shall (i) affix the Trustee’s name to each assignment of Mortgage, as its
assignee, and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate
public
office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the
Trustee, except that, if the Trustee has not received the information required
to deliver any assignment of a Mortgage for recording, the Trustee shall
deliver
it as soon as practicable after receipt of the needed information and in
any
event within thirty days.
If
any
Mortgage Loans 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 the prepayment that is required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within five Business Days after
the
Closing Date, the Seller shall either
(x) deliver
to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01
for
each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or
47
(y) (A)
repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute the Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which repurchase or
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
in Section 2.03 (treating each such 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 period specified herein, 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 period, the Trustee shall send a Delay
Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during
such period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, the assignments of Mortgage shall not be required
to be
submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan secured
by
Mortgaged Property located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would,
as
certified to the Trustee in writing by the Servicer, result in a withdrawal
or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates;
provided, however, that each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for
recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the
Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable
direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating
to the Seller, (iii) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described
in
Section 7.02 and (iv) if the Seller is not the Servicer and with respect
to any
one assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, as certified
by the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller is
unable to pay the cost of recording the assignments of Mortgage, such expense
shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable out of the Distribution
Account.
(e) The
Seller agrees to treat the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor
as a
sale for all tax, accounting, and regulatory purposes.
Section
2.02 Acceptance
by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1, and declares that it holds and
will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting
the
Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans, and that it holds or will hold such
other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the related Mortgage
Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing
Date to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification
in
the form of Exhibit G-1. Based on its review and examination, and
only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee
acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate
to such
Mortgage Loans. 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.
48
By
the
thirtieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a Business Day,
the
succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Servicer, and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the
Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
By
the
ninetieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a Business Day,
the
succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
in the form of Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If,
in
the course of its review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the
Trustee
shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification. The
Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement
is
sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or
assignee thereof, in 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 any defect that materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders within 90 days from the date it was
so
notified of the defect and, if the Seller does not correct the defect within
that period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished
in the
pursuant Section 2.03, or (b) purchase the Mortgage Loan at its Purchase
Price
from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of
the
defect in writing.
If
a
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
required because of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, or there is a dispute between either the Servicer or the
Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document,
then the substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing
Date. In no other case may a substitution or purchase occur more than
540 days from the Closing Date.
Any
substitution shall not be effected before the delivery to the Trustee of
the
Opinion of Counsel, if required by Section 2.05, and any substitution shall
not
be effected before 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
the
month.
The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in
the
Certificate Account by the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of the deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form
of
Exhibit N, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller
and
shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request any instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, 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 Mortgage Loan
that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute
and
deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as
the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
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
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee,
49
upon
the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of any other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File that come into the possession
of the
Servicer from time to time.
The
obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan
that
does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole
remedy
respecting the defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor, and any
Certificateholder against the Seller.
Section
2.03 Representations,
Warranties, and Covenants of the Seller and the
Servicer.
(a) IndyMac,
in its capacities as Seller and Servicer, makes the representations and
warranties in Schedule II, and by this reference incorporated in this Agreement,
to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.
(b) The
Seller, in its capacity as Seller, makes the representations and warranties
in
Schedule III, and by this reference incorporated in this Agreement, to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified in
Schedule III, as of the Cut-off Date.
(c) Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) 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. Any breach of representations and warranties under clauses
(26) and (32) of Schedule III shall be deemed to materially and adversely
affect
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage
Loans. The Seller 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(b) 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 the 90-day period expires before the second anniversary
of
the Closing Date, remove the Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage
Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in accordance with this Section 2.03; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee
at the
Purchase Price in the manner set forth below. Any substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected before the delivery to the Trustee
of the Opinion of Counsel, if required by Section 2.05, and a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N, and the Mortgage File for
any
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer
or
the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for the breach.
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 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
Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and
the
substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Servicer shall deliver
the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon the substitution,
the Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to this Agreement in all
respects, and the
50
Seller
shall be deemed to have made with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loans,
as
of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant
to
Section 2.03(b) with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Upon any
substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required
to be deposited therein in connection with the substitution as described
in the
following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders relating to the 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 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, if the Seller
is not the Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances and Servicer Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans
shall
be deposited into the Certificate Account by the Seller by 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. If the Seller repurchases a Mortgage
Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.06 by 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 the Mortgage Loan and
upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in
the
form of Exhibit N, 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. 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 the Person respecting the 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 and shall not be waived by the Depositor.
The
Seller assigns to the Depositor and the Depositor assigns to the Trustee
all
rights the Seller might have under contracts with third parties relating
to
early payment defaults on the Mortgage Loans (“EPD
Rights”) and the Servicer assumes any related duties as part of
its servicing obligations. Consistent with the Servicing Standard,
the Servicer shall attempt to enforce the EPD Rights. If the
Servicer’s enforcement of the EPD Rights obligates the Servicer to sell a
Mortgage Loan to a third party, the Servicer shall repurchase the Mortgage
Loan
at the Purchase Price and sell the Mortgage Loan to the third party, provided
however, in no case shall the Servicer be obligated to repurchase a Mortgage
Loan on account of EPD Rights unless and until the Servicer shall have
previously received repurchase payment from a third party. The
Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account all amounts received
in
connection with the enforcement of EPD Rights, not exceeding the Purchase
Price,
with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Any amounts received by the
Servicer with respect a Mortgage Loan in excess of the Purchase Price shall
be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The Trustee,
upon
receipt of certification from the Servicer of the deposit of the Purchase
Price
in connection with a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and a Request for File
Release from the Servicer, shall release or cause to be released to the
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and
51
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.
Section
2.04 Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Depositor represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan as of the date of this Agreement or such other date set forth in this
Agreement that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses, or
counterclaims.
The
representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery
of
the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or
the Trustee of any breach of any of the representations and warranties in
this
Section that materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering the 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 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 any REMIC created under this
Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are
outstanding.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that
any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within five 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 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.

Section
2.07 REMIC

ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01 Servicer
to Service Mortgage Loans.
For
and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing
Standard.
The
Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver, or amendment
of any
term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC created under this
Agreement 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 Servicer, in its own name or
in
the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered
by
the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate
in its
reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders, or any of them, any instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and
with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor or the Trustee any documents requiring execution and delivery by
either or both of them appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted
to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of the documents, the Depositor or the Trustee
shall execute the documents and deliver them to the Servicer.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name, when the Servicer believes
it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS®
System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on
the
MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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.
In
accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard, the Servicer
shall
advance funds necessary to effect the payment of taxes and assessments on
the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance
from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and
further as provided in Section 3.09. The costs incurred by the
Servicer 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 Mortgage Loans so permit.
Nothing
in this Agreement to the contrary shall limit the Servicer from undertaking
any
legal action that it may deem appropriate with respect to the Mortgage Loans
including, without limitation, any rights or causes of action arising out
of the
origination of the Mortgage Loans.
54
Section
3.02 [Reserved].
Section
3.03 Rights
of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Servicer.
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause
a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this
Agreement and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise
the
related rights of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the
Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for
any
action or failure to act by the Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor
be obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement
or otherwise.
Section
3.04 [Reserved].
Section
3.05 Trustee
to Act as Servicer.
If
the
Servicer for any reason is no longer the Servicer under this Agreement
(including because of the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default
or
termination by the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall assume
all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement arising
thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be
(i) liable
for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions
of
the predecessor 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 repurchases or substitutions pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03,
(iv) responsible
for expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03, or
(v) deemed
to
have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer
hereunder). Any assumption shall be subject to Section
7.02.
Notwithstanding
anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee
be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of
the
Servicing Fee paid under this Agreement and the amount necessary to induce
any
successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and
the
transactions provided for in this Agreement.
Section
3.06 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution
Account.
(a) In
accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard, the 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 Mortgage Loans to the extent the procedures are consistent with this
Agreement and any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) subject to Section
3.21,
waive any Late Payment Fee or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20, waive
any
Prepayment Charge in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and
(ii)
extend the due dates for payments due on a Delinquent Mortgage Loan for a
period
not greater than 125 days. In connection with a Mortgage Loan that is
in default, or with respect to
55
which
default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer may, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, waive, modify or vary any term of that Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of that
Mortgage Loan ), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less
than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of that Mortgage
Loan,
or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or
otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s determination
such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
loss that might result absent such action) and is expected to minimize the
loss
on such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Servicer shall not initiate
new
lending to such Mortgagor through the Trust Fund and cannot, except as provided
in the immediately succeeding sentence, extend the maturity of any Mortgage
Loan
past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage
Loan as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to no more than 5% of the
Mortgage Loans (measured by aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans), the Servicer may extend the maturity of a Mortgage Loan
past
the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage
Loan
as of the Cut-off Date, but in no event more than one year past such date.
In
the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the
related Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.01 during the scheduled
period in accordance with the amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan
without
modification thereof because of the arrangements. The Servicer shall
not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection
of
any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, or otherwise or against
any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation)
if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or
other
instrument pursuant to which the payment is required is prohibited by applicable
law. The Servicer shall not have the discretion to sell any
Delinquent or defaulted Mortgage Loan.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The
Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into which the
Servicer shall deposit within two Business Days of receipt or as otherwise
specified in this Agreement, the following payments and collections received
by
it in respect of Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect
of
principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans by 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 Prepayment
Interest Excess and the 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 Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures;
(iv) any
amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(f)
in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.10
and
3.12;
56
(vi) all
Purchase Prices from the Servicer or Seller and all Substitution Adjustment
Amounts;
(vii) all
Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(viii) any
other
amounts required to be deposited under this Agreement; and
(ix) all
Prepayment Charges collected and the amounts payable by the Servicer for
the
waiver of such amounts.
In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for the Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the 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 the Mortgage Loan equal to the amount
of
interest that has accrued on the Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date
at
the Mortgage Rate net of the Servicing Fee Rate on that date.
The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer to the Certificate
Account
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of or assumption fees,
if
collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. If the Servicer
remits any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw
that
amount from the Certificate Account, any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding. The withdrawal or direction may be
accomplished by delivering written notice of it to the Trustee or any other
institution maintaining the Certificate Account that describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Servicer shall
maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to
this
Section 3.06. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.09.
(e) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of
the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit
in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution Account the
following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.09(a);
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(f) in connection
with
any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any
other
amounts deposited under this Agreement that are required to be deposited
in the
Distribution Account.
If
the
Servicer remits any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time
direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw that amount from the Distribution
Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. The direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee that 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 until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.09. In no event shall the
Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at
the
direction of the Servicer.
57
(f) Each
institution at which the Certificate Account is maintained shall invest the
funds in such account as directed in writing by the Servicer in Permitted
Investments, which shall mature not later than the second Business Day preceding
the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if the Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains the account,
then
the Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding
the Distribution Account Deposit Date) and which shall not be sold or disposed
of before its maturity. The funds in the Distribution Account shall
remain uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in
the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All income realized from any such investment of
funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the
Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as
provided in this Agreement. The amount of any realized losses on
Permitted Investments in the Certificate Account shall promptly be deposited
by
the Servicer in the Certificate Account. The Trustee 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 and made in accordance
with this Section 3.06.
(g) The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency
and
the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account
not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change of this
Agreement. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, the Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location
of
the Distribution Account not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days
prior
to any change of this Agreement.
(h) Upon
a
downgrade in the rating of an institution at which an Eligible Account is
held
below the required ratings set forth in the definition of Eligible Account,
within 30 days of such downgrade, such account will be transferred to an
account
meeting the requirements of the definition of Eligible Account; provided,
however, that this transfer requirement may be waived by the applicable Rating
Agency.
Section
3.07 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 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) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account
of
the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the 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 (without duplication)
the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums)
and
Section 3.10 (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
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. The Escrow Accounts shall
not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The
Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.07(a) that are
not
timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the Servicer on the date when
the
tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but
the
Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances,
in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer
out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
58
Section
3.08 Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable access to
all
records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts,
insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such
access
being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.
Upon
reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to each
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that 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 the
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable regulations
of
the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the
Certificates. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each
such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred
by the
Servicer in providing the reports and access.
Section
3.09 Permitted
Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The
Servicer may (and, in the case of clause (ix) below, shall) from time to
time
make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to
pay to
the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained) the servicing compensation
to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.15, and to pay to the Servicer,
as
additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with
respect
to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;
(ii) to
reimburse the Servicer or successor Servicer for the unreimbursed Advances
made
by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being
limited
to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans in respect of which the Advance
was
made;
(iii) to
reimburse the Servicer or successor Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made by it;
(iv) to
reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related Insurance
Proceeds;
(v) to
reimburse the Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s
right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage
Loan being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans that represent
late
recoveries of the payments for which the advances were made pursuant to Section
3.01 or Section 3.07, (b) unreimbursed Servicing Advances made in respect
of a
Mortgage Loan for which such Servicing Advances are not recoverable from
the
Mortgagor and (c) for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section
3.12;
(vi) to
pay to
the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in
respect of such Mortgage Loan that has been purchased pursuant to Section
2.02,
2.03, or 3.12, all amounts received thereon after the date of such
purchase;
(vii) to
reimburse the Seller, the Servicer, or the Depositor for expenses incurred
by
any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03;
59
(viii) to
withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required
to be
deposited in the Certificate Account;
(ix) by
the
Distribution Account Deposit Date, to withdraw (1) the Available Funds and
Trustee Fee for the Distribution Date, to the extent on deposit, (2) the
Prepayment Charges on deposit and (3) the $300 held in trust for the Class
P
Certificates, 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.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan
by
Mortgage Loan basis, to justify any withdrawal from the Certificate Account
pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi). Before making
any withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to subclause (iii),
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing
Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer
to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans
and
their respective portions of the Nonrecoverable Advance.
In
addition to the amounts remitted to the Trustee by the Servicer from the
Certificate Account, by the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Servicer
shall remit all Late Payment Fees assessable and not waived pursuant to Section
3.21(a) to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account.
(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 third 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
withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution
Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01.
Section
3.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance
Policies.
(a) The
Servicer shall maintain, 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 the Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the
greater of (y) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and
(z) an
amount such that the proceeds of the policy are sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer.
Each
policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying
endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts
collected under the policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released
60
to
the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall
be deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred in
maintaining any 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 Mortgage Loan so permits. Such costs shall be recoverable by
the Servicer out of late payments (other than Late Payment Fees) by the related
Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.09. 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 any applicable laws and regulations in force that
require
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 the area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Servicer shall maintain flood insurance for the Mortgage
Loan. The 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 that are part of the Mortgaged Property,
and (iii) the maximum amount of flood insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.
If
the
Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses
on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall have satisfied its obligations in
the
first sentence of this Section 3.10. The policy may contain a
deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially
available and maintained by comparable servicers. If the policy
contains a deductible clause and a policy complying with the first sentence
of
this Section 3.10 has not been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property,
and
if a loss that would have been covered by the required policy occurs, the
Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, without any right of
reimbursement, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because
of the deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf
of
itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, claims under any blanket policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall not take any action that would result in non-coverage under
any
applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss that, but for the actions
of the
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall not
cancel or refuse to renew any 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 the canceled
or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The
Servicer need not maintain any Primary Insurance Policy if maintaining the
Primary Insurance Policy is prohibited by applicable law. The
Servicer agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to effect the
timely
payment of the premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and any costs not
otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the related
liquidation proceeds.
In
connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard,
to take any reasonable action in accordance with the Servicing Standard
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account.
Section
3.11 Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in this Section 3.11, when any property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that
it has
knowledge of the conveyance and in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
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 enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under
61
any
Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer is not required to exercise these 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 conditions contained in the Mortgage
Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under the Mortgage
Note
or Mortgage as a condition to the transfer.
If
(i)
the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any due-on-sale clause,
(ii)
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
(iii)
the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale clause, or (iv) nonenforcement
is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to
Section
3.11(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from
or
with the person to whom the property has been or is about to be conveyed,
pursuant to which the person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and,
unless
prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon. The Mortgage Loan must continue to be covered (if so covered
before the Servicer enters into the agreement) by the applicable Required
Insurance Policies.
The
Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(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 the Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and the Person is substituted
as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Section 3.11 because of any transfer or assumption that the Servicer reasonably
believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject
to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth
in Section 3.11(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
to a Person by a Mortgagor, and the Person is to enter into an assumption
agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of
release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability
on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee
for
signature and shall direct the Trustee, in writing, to execute the assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed,
and
the modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or
other instruments appropriate 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 the 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 Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in
effect. Together with each substitution, assumption, or other
agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the
Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer
stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection
with such Officer’s Certificate. The Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any substitution or assumption agreement has been completed
by
forwarding to the Trustee the original of the 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 the Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting
a
part of the Mortgage File. The Servicer will retain any fee collected
by it for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
as
additional servicing compensation.
Section
3.12 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard
to foreclose on or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of assets securing
such of the Mortgage Loans as
62
come
into
and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can
be made
for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with the
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow the Servicing
Standard and shall follow the requirements of the insurer under any Required
Insurance Policy. The Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of
any
property unless it determines (i) that the restoration or foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself of restoration expenses and (ii) that restoration expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall
have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate
Account). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure proceedings. The Servicer
is entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the liquidation
proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the
definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Servicer has knowledge
that a Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one 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 Servicer, the Servicer will, before acquiring the Mortgaged
Property, consider the 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 the REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that
the title to the REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and
the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell the
REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by
the Servicer protect and conserve the REO Property in accordance with the
Servicing Standard.
The
Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by sections
1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments,
the
tax reporting required by section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt
of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by section 6050P of
the
Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, by preparing any required tax and information returns, in the form
required.
If
the
Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in
connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the REO
Property shall only be held temporarily, shall be actively marketed for sale,
and the Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable,
and in any case before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar
year in which the Trust Fund acquires the property. 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.
The
decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall
be
subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of the foreclosure
would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing a foreclosure
proceeding. The proceeds received from the maintenance of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for costs incurred (including
any property or other taxes) in connection with maintenance of the REO
Properties and net of unreimbursed 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 the Mortgage
Loans were still current and adjustments, if applicable, to the Mortgage
Rate
were being made in accordance with the Mortgage Note) and all such proceeds
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 proceeds received
during any calendar month exceeds the amount attributable to
63
amortizing
principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related
Mortgage Loan for the calendar month, the 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 proceeds
from
an REO Property, will be applied in the following priority: first, to reimburse
the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Servicing
Fees
or for any related unreimbursed Advances, as applicable; second, to reimburse
the Servicer, as applicable, and to reimburse the Certificate Account for
any
Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn
by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii) that related to the Mortgage
Loan;
third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been
made
for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage
Loan or
related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed;
and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
will retain any Excess Proceeds from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage
Loan as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.
The
Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan at the request
of the
related Mortgagor if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and
(ii)
the Servicer purchases that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described
below. Upon the agreement of the Servicer to modify a Mortgage Loan
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall purchase that
Mortgage Loan and all interest of the Trustee in that Mortgage Loan shall
automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all
benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the right to accrued
interest thereon from the date of purchase and the risk of default thereon,
shall pass to the Servicer. The 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 a Mortgage
Loan to be repurchased pursuant to this paragraph.
The
Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan repurchased
pursuant to Section 3.12 in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06
within one Business Day after the purchase of the 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 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
Servicer any Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant
hereto. The 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 Section, or any purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Servicer in
connection with a modification (but such obligation shall not prevent the
Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Servicer from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings). The 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.
Section
3.13 Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by delivering
a
Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon
receipt of the request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Servicer’s direction execute
and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance,
or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing
64
the
lien
of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the
Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The
Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS
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 Servicer
or its
designee. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned
to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless
the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in
the
Certificate Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing
Officer.
If
the
Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect
of
any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings,
requests for trustee’s sale, or other documents necessary to effectuate such
foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or
to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section
3.14 Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to be Held for the
Trustee.
The
Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds it receives or
otherwise collects as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect
of
any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by,
or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation
Proceeds, including any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall
be
held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain
the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. The 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 Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under
this
Agreement.
Section
3.15 Servicing
Compensation.
The
Servicer may retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account the Servicing
Fee
for each Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date. If the
Servicer directly services a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may retain the
Servicing Fee for its own account as compensation for performing
services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicing Fee payable to
the Servicer with respect to an Aggregate Loan Group shall be reduced by
the
lesser of the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with
65
respect
to the Distribution Date and that Aggregate Loan Group and the aggregate
Compensating Interest for the Distribution Date.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds, Prepayment Interest
Excess, assumption fees and all income net of any losses realized from Permitted
Investments shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required
to be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06. The
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with
its servicing activities hereunder (including the 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
3.16 Access
to Certain Documentation.
The
Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory
authorities supervising Holders of Certificates and 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. Access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the
Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.16 shall limit the obligation of
the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access
as
provided in this Section 3.16 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 3.16.
Section
3.17 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
(a) By
March
15 of each year, commencing with 2008, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee
via electronic mail (XXXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx) and the Depositor an Officer’s
Certificate signed by two Servicing Officers stating, as to each signer thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding
calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of the performance of the
Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision,
and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on the review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, in all material
respects throughout the year (or applicable portion thereof), or, if there
has
been a failure to fulfill any obligation in any material respect, specifying
each failure known to the officer and the nature and status
thereof.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Copies
of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder
or
Certificate Owner upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
Section
3.18 Errors
and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The
Servicer shall obtain and maintain in force (a) policies of insurance covering
errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder
and (b) a fidelity bond covering its officers, employees, and
agents. Each policy 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. If any policy or bond
ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement
policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the above requirements as
of
the date of the replacement.
66
Section
3.19 Notification
of Adjustments.
On
each
Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each
Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage
and
Mortgage Note and applicable regulations. The Servicer shall execute
and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and
applicable regulations regarding interest rate adjustments. The
Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable
data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Servicer’s
methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Servicer or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to
adjust
or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Rate or a monthly payment pursuant
to the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately
deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount of any loss
caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer
shall not be liable with respect to any interest rate adjustments made by
any
servicer prior to the Servicer.
Section
3.20 Prepayment
Charges.
(a) The
Servicer will not waive any part of any Prepayment Charge unless the waiver
relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, the Prepayment
Charge
would cause an undue hardship to the related borrower, the Mortgaged Property
is
sold by the Mortgagor, the collection of any Prepayment Charge would violate
any
relevant law or regulation or the waiving of the Prepayment Charge would
otherwise benefit the Trust Fund and it is expected that the waiver would
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of the
Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and
customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a
Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that
is
related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default). The
Servicer will not waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing
of
a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default.
(b) If
a
Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted by the prior paragraph,
then
the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge,
for
the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such
amount into the Distribution Account from its own funds, without any right
of
reimbursement therefor, together with and at the time that the amount prepaid
on
the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Distribution
Account.
(c) The
Seller represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, that the information in the Prepayment Charge Schedule (including
the attached prepayment charge summary) is complete and accurate in all material
respects at the dates as of which the information is furnished and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms
under applicable state law, except as the enforceability thereof is limited
due
to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
payment.
(d) Upon
discovery by the Servicer or upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer
of
the Trustee (provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation
to
conduct an independent investigation or inquiry in relation thereto) of a
breach
of the foregoing clause (c) that materially and adversely affects the right
of
the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. Within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer
or receipt of notice by the Servicer of breach, the Servicer shall cure the
breach in all material respects or shall pay into the Certificate Account
the
amount of the Prepayment Charge that would otherwise be due from the Mortgagor,
less any amount representing such Prepayment Charge previously collected
and
paid by the Servicer into the Certificate Account.
67
Section
3.21 Late
Payment Fees.
(a) The
Servicer shall not waive any part of any Late Payment Fee unless (i) the
collection of any Late Payment Fee would violate any relevant law or regulation
or (ii) the waiving of the Late Payment Fee would otherwise benefit the Trust
Fund and it is expected that the waiver would maximize recovery of total
proceeds, taking into account the value of the Late Payment Fee and related
Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans (including the waiver of a Late Payment Fee in connection
with a
refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or reasonably
foreseeable default).
(b) If
the
covenants made by the Servicer in clause (a) above is breached, the Servicer
must pay into the Certificate Account prior to the Distribution Account Deposit
Date following the end of the related Prepayment Period the amount of the
waived
Late Payment Fee.
(c) The
Servicer shall remit Late Payment Fees assessable and not waived pursuant
to
clause (a) above in accordance with Section 3.09.
68
ARTICLE
FOUR
DISTRIBUTIONS
AND ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
Section
4.01 Advances.
(a) The
Servicer shall determine on or before each Servicer Advance Date whether
it is
required to make an Advance pursuant to the definition thereof. If
the Servicer determines it is required to make an Advance, it shall, on or
before the 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 Servicer in discharge of its obligation
to
make any such Advance. Any funds so applied shall be replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the close of
business on the next Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account for all Advances of
its
own funds made pursuant to this Section 4.01 as provided in Section
3.09. 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 Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated. The
Servicer shall inform the Trustee of the amount of the Advance to be made
on
each Servicer Advance Date no later than the second Business Day before the
related Distribution Date.
(b) If
the
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 an “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 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 3:00 P.M., New York time on a Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee is
entitled to immediately terminate the Servicer under Section 7.01, and 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 Servicer that the Servicer has deposited or caused
to be
deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Advance Deficiency
by 3:00 P.M. New York time on the related Distribution Date. If the
Trustee has not terminated the Servicer, the Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance (including interest at the Prime Rate
on
the day of such reimbursement published in The Wall Street Journal) on
such amount, made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) not later
than
the second day following the related Servicer Advance Date. In the
event that the 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 Servicer under this Agreement
in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations set forth
in
Section 3.05, assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
hereunder.
(c) The
Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding each Servicer Advance Date, deliver to the Trustee
a
report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) that
indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Servicer has
determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be advanced and (ii)
the
amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee on the related Servicer Advance Date an Officer’s Certificate of
a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Advance determined
by
the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

the
absence of such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the related Class’
Allocable Share of (A) after the applicable Special Hazard Coverage Termination
Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or, after
the applicable Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan in
the
related Aggregate Loan Group) 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 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 applicable Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or, after the
applicable Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan in the
related Aggregate Loan Group) 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)

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)(5) or Section
4.02(a)(6), as applicable, if, with respect to any Class of Subordinated
Certificates in a Subordinated Certificate Group, on any Distribution Date
the
sum of the related Class Subordination Percentage of such Class and of each
Class of Subordinated Certificates in that Subordinated Certificate Group
that
have a higher numerical Class designation 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 on the Mortgage Loans in the related
Aggregate Loan Group will be made to any such Classes (the
“Restricted Classes”) and the amount of such Principal
Prepayments otherwise distributable
74
to
the
Restricted Classes shall be distributed to the related 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 set
forth in Section 4.02(a)(5) or Section 4.02(a)(6), as
applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class of Subordinated
Certificates in a Subordinated Certificate Group then outstanding with the
lowest numerical class designation shall not be a Restricted Class.
(f) If
the
amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan in an Aggregate Loan Group has
been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to 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
related 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 4.05. 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 to the Certificate
Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective
Percentage Interest.
Section
4.03 Cross-Collateralization;
Adjustments to Available Funds for Aggregate Loan Group
II
If
on any
Distribution Date the Class Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates
in a
Senior Certificate Group in the Group II Certificates is greater than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group (the “Undercollateralized Group”) in Aggregate
Loan Group II, then the Trustee shall reduce the Available Funds of the other
Loan Group in Aggregate Loan Group II to the extent that the other Loan Group
is
not undercollateralized (the “Overcollateralized
Group”), as follows:
(i) to
add to
the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized Group an amount equal to the
lesser of (a) one month’s interest on the Transfer Payment received of the
Undercollateralized Group at the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate
applicable to the Undercollateralized Group and (b) Available Funds of the
Overcollateralized Group remaining after making distributions to the
Certificates of the Overcollateralized Group on such Distribution Date pursuant
to Section 4.02; and
(ii) to
the
Group II Senior Certificates related to such Undercollateralized Group, to
the
extent of the principal portion of Available Funds of the Overcollateralized
Group remaining after making distributions to the Group II Senior Certificates
related to such Overcollateralized Group on such Distribution Date pursuant
to
Section 4.02, until the Class Certificate Balance of the Group II Senior
Certificates related to such Undercollateralized Group equals the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in that Undercollateralized
Loan
Group.
The
portion of the payment received by the Undercollateralized Group allocable
to
principal is referred to as a “Transfer Payment
Received.” The portion of the payment made by the
Overcollateralized Group allocable to principal is referred to as a
“Transfer Payment Made.”

Section
4.05 Allocation
of Realized Losses.
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate, based on information delivered
by
the Servicer, the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses,
with
respect to such Distribution Date. Realized Losses with respect to
any Distribution Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) [reserved];
and
(A)
any
Realized Loss (other than any Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan
Group
in an Aggregate Loan Group shall be allocated first to the Classes of
Subordinated Certificates in the related Subordinated Certificate Group in
reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning
with
the Class of Subordinated Certificates in such Subordinated Certificate Group
then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the
respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero,
and
second to the Classes of Senior Certificates of the related Senior Certificate
Group, as follows: any Realized Losses other than Excess Losses on the Group
1
Mortgage Loans will be allocated sequentially to the Class 1-A-2 and Class
1-A-1
Certificates, in that order, until their respective Class Certificate Balances
are reduced to zero; any Realized Losses other than Excess Losses on the
Group 2
Mortgage Loans will be allocated sequentially to the Class 2-A-2 and Class
2-A-1
Certificates, in that order, until their respective Class Certificate Balances
are reduced to zero; and any Realized Losses other than Excess Losses on
the
Group 3 Mortgage Loans will be allocated sequentially to the Class 3-A-2
and
Class 3-A-1 Certificates, in that order, until their respective Class
Certificate Balances are reduced to zero.
(B)
On
each Distribution Date, Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group
in
an Aggregate Loan Group shall be allocated pro rata among the Classes of
Senior
Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group and the related Group
of
Subordinated Certificates as follows: (i) in the case of the Senior
Certificates, the Senior Percentage of such Excess Losses shall be allocated
among the Classes of Senior Certificates in the related Senior Certificate
Group, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of
the
Subordinated Certificates in a Subordinated Certificate Group, the related
Subordinated Percentage of such Excess Loss shall be allocated among the
Classes
of Subordinated Certificates of that Subordinated Certificate Group, pro
rata, based on (x) in the case of the Group I Subordinated Certificates,
their Class Certificate Balances and (y) in the case of the Group II
Subordinated Certificates on each Class’ share of the Assumed Balance of the
related Loan Group in Aggregate Loan Group II immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after a Senior
Termination Date for a Senior Certificate Group in Aggregate Loan Group II,
such
Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group in Aggregate
Loan
Group II shall be allocated to the related Group II Senior Certificates and
related Group II Subordinated Certificates on the basis of their respective
Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date; provided
further, however, on any Distribution Date on and after the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date for a Certificate Group, any Excess Loss shall be
allocated, pro rata, among the Classes of Senior Certificates in such
Certificate Group based on their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(b) The
Class
Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates in a Subordinated
Certificate Group then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which
the
aggregate Class Certificate Balance of all outstanding Classes of Certificates
in the applicable Certificate Group (after giving effect to the distribution
of
principal and the allocation of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date)
exceeds the
76
aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in that Aggregate Loan Group
as
of the Due Date in the month of such Distribution Date (after giving effect
to
Principal Prepayments in the Prepayment Period related to such Due
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 4.05(a)
or
(b) 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 any reduction in the
Certificate Balance of a Certificate pursuant to Section 4.05(a) or (b) shall
be
accomplished by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof immediately following
the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with
the
definition of Certificate Balance.

Section
4.07 [Reserved].
Section
4.08 [Reserved].
Section
4.09 Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.
On
each
LIBOR Determination Date so long as the 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 Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m.
London time on each LIBOR Determination Date.
(a) If
LIBOR
cannot be determined as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 4.09,
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 LIBOR 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 Page LIBOR01 (as defined in the International
Swap
Dealers Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions
for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available.
(b) LIBOR
for
the next Interest Accrual Period for a Class of LIBOR Certificates will be
established by the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination Date as
follows:
(i) If
on any
LIBOR Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such offered
quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for a Class of
LIBOR Certificates 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
LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks provides
such
offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for a Class
of
LIBOR Certificates shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined
on the previous LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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
80
one-month
United States dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected
by the Trustee are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to
leading European banks.
(iii) If
on any
LIBOR Determination Date the Trustee is required but is unable to determine
the
Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR
shall
be LIBOR as determined on the preceding LIBOR Determination Date, or, in
the
case of the first LIBOR Determination Date, the Initial LIBOR Rate.
(c) 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 LIBOR Determination
Date. The 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
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.
(d) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of
LIBOR Certificates for each related Interest Accrual Period shall be determined
by the Trustee on each LIBOR 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.
(e) 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 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 4.09.
(f) 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.

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
exceed
the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class
set
forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject
to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder
of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified
the Trustee at least five Business Days before the related Record Date or
(y) by
check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address
of
such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The
Trustee shall execute the Certificates by the manual or facsimile signature
of
an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed,
authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized before the countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates
or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature,
and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign
the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any
affiliate thereof.
The
Depositor shall provide the Trustee, on a continuous basis with 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, in accordance with Section 5.06, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to subsections (b) and (c) below and
to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide
for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to
be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making
the
exchange is entitled to receive. A written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder of a Certificate
or
his attorney duly authorized in writing shall accompany every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
82
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 the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a
transfer is to be made in reliance on an exemption from the Securities Act
and
such state securities laws, to assure compliance with the Securities Act
and
such state securities 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 form set forth in Exhibit J (the “Transferor
Certificate”) and deliver to the Trustee either (i) a letter in
substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the “Investment
Letter”) or Exhibit L (the “Rule 144A
Letter”) or (ii) at the expense of the transferor, an Opinion of
Counsel that the transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by that Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and
any
other information necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of the Certificate without registration thereof under
the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule
144A. The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor
in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence,
including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, and other matters regarding the Trust Fund
as
the Depositor reasonably requests to meet its obligation under the preceding
sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect a
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Seller, and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
(if the Certificate is a Private Certificate, the 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, and if the Certificate
is a
Residual Certificate, the 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 (x) the transferee is not an employee benefit
plan or arrangement subject to section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to
section
4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect the transfer,
or
(y) if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the transferee is an
insurance company that is purchasing such Certificate 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 Certificate
satisfies the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and III
of PTCE
95-60, or (ii) 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 the Trustee, the Servicer or
the
Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that
the
purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result
in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or section 4975 of the Code
and
will not subject the Trustee or the Servicer to any
83
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, if the
appropriate representation letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in the
preceding sentence is not furnished, the representation in clause (i) above,
shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including
an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificates. If the representation is violated, or any attempt is
made to transfer to a plan or arrangement subject to section 406 of ERISA
or a
plan subject to section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of
any
such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement,
without the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or
acquisition shall be void.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including 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 this Agreement
so
long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
to
be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall
have
been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer
Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the
form of 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 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 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 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
84
entitled
but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that
was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at
such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments
made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any
such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by
the
Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on
a
Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer,
to
the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC
created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents
to
any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and
(b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(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 Participants 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 Participants and persons shown on the
books of such Indirect Participants 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 the 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.
85
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 or (y) 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 Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The 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 (b) the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft
of any
Certificate and the Servicer and the Trustee receive the security or indemnity
required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trustee that the Certificate has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser,
and if the requirements of Section 8-406 of the UCC are met and subject to
Section 8-405 of the UCC, 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 is found at any time.
Section
5.04 Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Servicer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer,
the
Trustee nor any agent of the 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
86
Certificateholders
and/or Certificate Owners propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide
the
Depositor, the 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. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable because
of the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived.
Section
5.06 Maintenance
of Office or Agency.
The
Certificate Registrar will maintain at its expense an office or offices or
agency or agencies in the United States located at DB Services Tennessee,
000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xx., Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000 Attention: Transfer
Unit., where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or
exchange. The Certificate Registrar will give prompt written notice
to the Certificateholders and the Trustee (if other than the Certificate
Registrar) of any change in such location of any such office or
agency.

The
Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect their existence

of
the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to
do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor

of
the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or

herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor
or
surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans
to,
and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any merger or consolidation, at least 15
calendar days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation
of the
Servicer, the Servicer shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor
of any
successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Servicer.
Section
6.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, and
Others.
None
of
the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be
under
any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining
from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or
for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such Person against any breach
of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor,
the
Seller, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise
be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
in
the performance of duties or because of reckless disregard of obligations
and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, and any director,

indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or
expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial

however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem appropriate in respect
of
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests
of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor,
the Seller, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of

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 downgrading, qualification or withdrawal of the rating of
any of
the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its duties under this Agreement
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee

DEFAULT
Section
7.01 Events
of Default.
“Event
of Default,” wherever used in this Agreement, means any one of the
following events:
(a) any
failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or remit to
the
Trustee any payment required to be made by it under this Agreement, which
failure continues unremedied for five days after the date on which written
notice of the failure has been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the
Depositor or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
of
any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Percentage Interests
of
the Class; or
(b) any
failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any
other
of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this
Agreement (except with respect to a failure related to a Limited Exchange
Act
Reporting Obligation), which failure materially affects the rights of
Certificateholders and continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after
the
date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Trustee
by
the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of
the
Percentage Interests of the Class; provided 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 repurchase or substitute in lieu thereof;
or
(c) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises for the appointment of a receiver, conservator 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 Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive
days;
or
(d) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, conservator or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or all
or
substantially all of the property of the Servicer; or
(e) the
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
(f) the
Servicer shall fail (i) to make an Advance on the Servicer Advance Date or
(ii)
to reimburse in full the Trustee within two days of the Servicer Advance
Date
for any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b).
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 7.01
occurs, 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 of any Class evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of
the
Percentage Interests of the Class, the Trustee shall by notice in writing
to the
Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights
and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. In addition, if during the period that the Depositor is
required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the
Servicer shall fail to observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute
a
90
Limited
Exchange Act Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth in Section
3.17(a) or Section 11.07(a)(i) and (ii), and such failure continues for the
lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange
Act
Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions),
so long
as such failure shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, but only
at the
direction of the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. The
Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer if a failure of the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating
in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was
attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect
to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
On
and
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans
or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee
shall make any Advance that the Servicer failed to make subject to Section
3.05,
whether or not the obligations of the Servicer have been terminated pursuant
to
this Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any 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 Servicer to pay amounts owed
pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including 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. If the Servicer fails to
make any Advance required under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, thereby
triggering an Event of Default described in clause (f) of this Section 7.01,
the
Trustee shall make such Advance on that Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of the Servicer under this Agreement, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due before the notice terminating such
Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such
notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.09(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable
to
such Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose before the termination
of
its activities hereunder.
If
the
Servicer is terminated, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor in writing
and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor servicer
in
the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of the Servicer as set
forth
herein.
Section
7.02 Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section
7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section
3.05,
be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms 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 Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate
Account or Distribution Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder,
including, if the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing
Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the
successor to the Servicer in
91
accordance
with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant
to
Section 4.01 or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition
a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect
the
then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor
to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution
which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which
has a
net worth of at least $15,000,000, which is willing to service the Mortgage
Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an
agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption
by
such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations
and
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under
Section 6.03 incurred before termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01),
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided
that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates
in
effect immediately before 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 Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act
in
such capacity as provided above, subject to section 3.03 and unless prohibited
by law. 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 in no case shall the rate of such compensation exceed the
Servicing Fee Rate. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any
such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder because of any failure to make,
or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or
any
failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities
hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver
or
provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information,
documents or records to it.
In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder,
either
(i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting
as
successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS
in
good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the
rules
and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver
an
assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to
the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and
other
instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such
Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the
successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the
successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The
predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment
in the
appropriate recording office. The successor Servicer shall cause such
assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original
with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording
office in which such assignment was recorded.
Any
successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors
of
such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer,
maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
Section
7.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee
shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating
Agency.
92
(b) Within
60
days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit
by
mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of each such
Event
of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.

CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE
Section
8.01 Duties of the
Trustee.
The
Trustee, before 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. 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, unless an Event of Default
known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing,
(a) 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 the duties and obligations 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;
(b) 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 is
finally
proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and
(c) 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. As long as any
Voting Rights are held by parties other than the Seller, its Affiliates,
or its
agents, Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller, its Affiliates
or its
agents as the Seller shall certify to the Trustee upon any entity obtaining
such
ownership, will be excluded from participating in such voting arrangements,
and
excluded from determining the 25% threshold.
Section
8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the
Trustee.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) the
Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining

instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper

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;
(b) 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;
(c) 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;
(d) the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing
not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates;
provided, however, that no Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor
or any
Affiliate shall be given effect for the purpose of calculating any such
aggregation of Voting Rights;
(e) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys
and
the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on

hereunder;
(f) 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;
(g) 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);
(h) the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default until

any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to 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;
(j) the
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation
that
could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian
or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii)
using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. The Trustee
does not guarantee the performance of any Permitted Investment; and
95
(k) the
Trustee shall not knowingly take any action that would cause the Trust Fund
to
fail to qualify as a qualifying special purpose entity.
In
order
to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from
time
to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the
funding of terrorist activities and money laundering ("Applicable Law"),
the
Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating
to
individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the
Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the
Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying
information and documentation as may be available for such party in
order to enable the Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.
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 other than with
respect
to the Trustee’s execution and countersignature of the
Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor
or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
Except
as
provided in Section 2.01(c), the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
filing
or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office
at any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest
or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the
successor Servicer). 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 executes the Certificates not in its individual capacity but solely
as
Trustee of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement, in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part
of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund in the Certificates is made and
intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is
made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Fund.
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.
As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, on each Distribution
Date
the Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account the Trustee Fee for
that
Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee,
or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer against any
loss,
liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer or incurred
in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement,
(b)
the Certificates, or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under
this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred because
of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of
the
Trustee’s duties hereunder or incurred by reason
96
of
any
action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders under
this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed
upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct, the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for
all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to
(A) the
reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates,
and
(B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any accountant,
engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to
the
extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services under this
Agreement.
Except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be entitled to
payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, or Paying
Agent under this Agreement or for any other expenses.
Section
8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the
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 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 this Section 8.06,
the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in
Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking
and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Servicer
and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate
of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer other than the Trustee in its
role
as successor to the Servicer.
Section
8.07 Resignation and Removal of the
Trustee.
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the 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.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar
days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee shall provide
(x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section
and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
97
the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order
to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
to
the resignation of the Trustee.
If
at any
time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section
8.06
and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor,
(ii)
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, (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by
any
state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and (B) the imposition
of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, or
(iv)
during the period which the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports
with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations
under the last sentence of Section 7.01, the preceding paragraph, Section
8.09
or Article 11 and such failure is not remedied within the lesser of 10 calendar
days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed
timely (without taking into account any extensions), then, in the case of
clauses (i) through (iii), then the Depositor or the Servicer, or in the
case of
clause (iv), the Depositor, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be
delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and one copy to the successor
trustee.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may
at any
time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered by the successor
Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed, one
complete set to the successor so appointed and one complete set to the
Depositor, together with a written description of the basis for such
removal. As long as any Voting Rights are held by parties other than
the Seller, its Affiliates, or its agents, Voting Rights of Certificates
held by
the Seller, its Affiliates or its agents as the Seller shall certify to the
Trustee upon any such entity obtaining such ownership will be excluded from
participating in such voting arrangements, and excluded from determining
the 51%
threshold. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of
any removal of the Trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section
8.08 Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and
the
Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon
the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless, at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible
under
Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current
rating of the Certificates and has provided to the Depositor in writing and
in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably requested by
98
the
Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02
of
Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Trustee.
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 the
Trustee.
Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee
hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under Section
8.06
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of
any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any merger or consolidation, at least 15
calendar days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation
of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of
any
successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Trustee.
Section
8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or
Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to
vest
in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever
is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10,
such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee
may consider appropriate. If the Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do
so,
or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(a) 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 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 Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee
99
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;
(b) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because 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;
(c) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee
or co-trustee; and
(d) The
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.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject
to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision
of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the
Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.
Section
8.11 Tax
Matters.
It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which one or more REMIC elections
pertaining to the Trust Fund 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 each REMIC created under this Agreement and that
in
such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare
and file 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) with respect to each REMIC created hereunder and prepare
and
file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect
to each REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement, 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 to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times
and in
such manner as may be required thereby;
100
(b) within
thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish 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
an election that each REMIC created under this Agreement 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 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 the calculations of any original issue discount and of taxable
income
or net loss to the holders of the residual interests in each REMIC created
hereunder using the Prepayment Assumption (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement). For purposes of calculating taxable income or net loss to the
holders of the residual interests in each such REMIC, the Trustee also shall
assume that the indices in respect of any adjustable rate Mortgage Loans
are
static until the liquidation or purchase of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with Section 9.01;
(e) provide
information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer
of a
Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an
agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not
a
Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is
not a
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 any REMIC created under this Agreement under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that
would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC created under this
Agreement;
(h) pay,
from the sources specified in the third paragraph of this Section 8.11, the
amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes
as
described below, imposed on any REMIC before 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 each REMIC created under this Agreement, including 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 each REMIC created under this
Agreement in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of such REMIC, enter into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute
of
limitations relating to
101
any
tax
item of such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation
to any
tax matter or controversy involving it.
To
enable
the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee within ten 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
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 additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
to enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement. 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.
If
any
tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code) of any REMIC created under this Agreement, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of any REMIC created under this Agreement as defined in
section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC created under
this
Agreement after the Startup Day pursuant to section 860G(d) of the Code,
or any
other tax is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on any REMIC created
hereunder pursuant to sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue
and
Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall
be
paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from
negligence of the Trustee in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer or the Seller, in the case of any such
minimum
tax, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer or
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
if the Trustee, the 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 3.09(b).
The
Trustee shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service,
Form
1041 or such other form as may be applicable, and shall furnish or cause
to be
furnished to the Holders of the Class I-L and Class II-L Certificates the

TERMINATION
Section
9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or
Purchase of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject
to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Servicer, and the Trustee created hereby shall terminate with respect to
an
Aggregate Loan Group upon the earlier of
(a) the
purchase by the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) in such
Aggregate Loan Group at the price equal to the sum of
(i) 100%
of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect
of
a Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in such Aggregate Loan Group
plus
one month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate
less any amounts collected by the Servicer representing principal and interest
due after the related Due Date on such Mortgage Loans,
(ii) the
lesser of (x) the appraised value of any Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO
Property in such Aggregate Loan Group as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Servicer
at
the expense of the Servicer and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each
such
Delinquent Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property in
such
Aggregate Loan Group, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
at
the applicable Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loans
and
(iii) any
costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation
by
each Mortgage Loan in such Aggregate Loan Group of any predatory or abusive
lending law and
(b) the
later of
(i) the
maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the
last
Mortgage Loan in such Aggregate Loan Group and the disposition of all related
REO Property and
(ii) the
distribution to the related 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 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 of this Agreement.
The
right
to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in an Aggregate Loan Group
pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Aggregate Loan Group, at
the
time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent (10%) of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Aggregate
Loan
Group as of the Cut-off Date. The first Distribution Date on which
the right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause
(a) above first becomes exercisable is referred to as the “Optional
Termination Date.” The Servicer shall effect any such
repurchase by depositing the purchase price, as calculated above, as of the
month preceding the date on which such purchase price
103
shall
be
distributed to Certificateholders into the Certificate Account. With
such repurchase, the Servicer shall acquire any rights or potential rights
of
the Certificateholders or the Trustee to causes of action against any Person
relating to the Mortgage Loans or the origination of the Mortgage Loans,
including, without limitation, the right to enforce any breach of a
representation or warranty made at any time with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Grantor Trust with respect to the Late Payment Fees shall terminate
automatically upon termination of the Trust Fund.
Section
9.02 Final Distribution on the
Certificates.
If
on any
Determination Date the Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Loan Group and no other funds or assets in
the
Trust Fund with respect to such Aggregate Loan Group other than the funds
in the
Certificate Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send
a
final distribution notice to each Certificateholder of Group I or Group II
Certificates, as applicable. If the Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, no later than the 15th
day of
the month preceding the month of the final Distribution Date the Servicer
shall
notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Servicer intends to
terminate the related portion of Trust Fund related to an Aggregate Loan
Group
and of the applicable repurchase price of the related Mortgage Loans and
REO
Properties.
Notice
of
any termination of the Trust Fund related to an Aggregate Loan Group specifying
the Distribution Date on which the related Certificateholders may surrender
their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation
shall
be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to the related Certificateholders
mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the last 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 related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of
such
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 the Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being
made
only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency
at the time such notice is given to such Certificateholders.
If
this
notice is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in the Certificate Account
with respect to such Aggregate Loan Group to be remitted to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day before the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect
of the
Group I or Group II Certificates, as applicable. 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 Servicer
the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans in such Aggregate Loan
Group.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause
to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each related 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, its Certificate Balance plus for each such Class accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case
of an
interest-bearing Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, only
if
such termination is with respect to the last remaining Aggregate Loan Group,
any
amount remaining 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 Certificate Balance of
any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and for no other purpose
until
the termination of the respective obligations and
104
responsibilities
of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with
Article Nine. The foregoing provisions are intended to distribute to
each Class of Regular Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and principal
to which they are entitled based on the Pass-Through Rates and actual Class
Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts set forth in the Preliminary Statement
upon liquidation of the Trust Fund.
If
any
affected Certificateholder does not surrender its 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, and only
if such termination is with respect to the last remaining Aggregate Loan
Group,
all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the
Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section
9.03 Additional Termination
Requirements.
(a) If
the Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans
in
the last remaining Aggregate Loan Group as provided in Section 9.01, the
Trust
Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply
with
the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition
of
taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC created hereunder as defined in
section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created under this Agreement
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(b) The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer, and,
within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the
proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each REMIC created under
this
Agreement.
(c) The
Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for
each
REMIC created under this Agreement stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation
§ 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for such REMIC was
the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the
Servicer.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
10.01 Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer
and
the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to cure
any
ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision in this Agreement
or to supplement any provision in this Agreement which may be inconsistent
with
any other provision in this Agreement, (iii) to conform this Agreement to
the
Prospectus Supplement, (iv) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller
or
the Servicer, (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms
or
provisions contained in this Agreement to comply with any rules or regulations
promulgated by the Commission from time to time, (vi) to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement,
or
(vii) to modify, alter, amend, add to, or rescind any of the terms or provisions
contained in this Agreement.
No
action
pursuant to clauses (v), (vi) or (vii) above may, 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. 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, qualification or
withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates. Any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any rating. Each
party to this Agreement agrees that it will cooperate with each other party
in
amending this Agreement pursuant to clause (v) above.
The
Trustee, the Depositor, and the Servicer also may at any time and from time
to
time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to the extent necessary
or
helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC created under this
Agreement as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC created under this Agreement pursuant
to the
Code that would be a claim at any time before the final redemption of the
Certificates, or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, if
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 the action is
necessary or helpful for one of the foregoing purposes.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer,
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of each Class of Certificates
adversely 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. As long as any Voting Rights are held by parties other
than the Seller, its Affiliates, or its agents, Voting Rights of Certificates
held by the Seller, its Affiliates or its agents as the Seller shall certify
to
the Trustee upon any entity obtaining such ownership, will be excluded from
participating in such voting arrangements, and excluded from determining
the 51%
threshold. No 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,
106
(ii) amend,
modify, add to, rescind, or alter in any respect Section 10.13, notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, without the consent of the Holders
of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66
2/3%
(provided, however, that no Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor
or
any Affiliate thereby shall be given effect for the purpose of calculating
any
such aggregation of Percentage Interests), or
(iii) reduce
the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required
to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
such
Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless (i) 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 created under this Agreement or the Certificateholders or cause
any
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding and (ii) because the Trust Fund is required
to be a
Qualifying Special Purpose Entity (as that term is defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (“SFAS 140”), in order for the Seller to
continue to account for the transfer of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
as a sale under SFAS 140, prior to the parties hereto entering into such
an
amendment, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate, which shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such
amendment would not “significantly change” (within the meaning of SFAS 140) the
permitted activities of the Trust Fund so as to cause the Trust Fund to fail
to
qualify as a Qualifying Special Purpose Entity.
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
10.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of
the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of
the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment
is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements
for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A)
the
amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any
Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the 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 Servicer at its expense, but only upon receipt of an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.
107
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section
10.03 Governing Law.
THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES
HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH
LAWS.
Section
10.04 Intention of
Parties.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor
to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale
thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, if, notwithstanding
the intent of the parties, the 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
is
held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then
(i)
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning
of
the UCC and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be
deemed
to be an assignment and a grant (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 transferred, 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.
Section
10.05 Notices.

Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating

the address specified therefor in the definition corresponding to the name
of
such Rating Agency. Notices to Certificateholders shall be deemed

appearing in the Certificate Register.
Section
10.06 Severability of
Provisions.
If
any
one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms 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 shall in
no way
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section
10.07 Assignment
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as provided
in
Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without
the
prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
Section
10.08 Limitation on Rights of
Certificateholders.
The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the trust created by this Agreement, nor entitle such
Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or any of
them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in this
Agreement) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of
the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties to this Agreement, 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 because of any action taken by the parties
to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
109
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 provided in this Agreement,
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 this Section 10.08, each Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall
be entitled to any relief that can be given either at law or in equity. As
long
as any Voting Rights are held by parties other than the Seller, its Affiliates,
or its agents, Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller, its Affiliates
or its agents as the Seller shall certify to the Trustee upon any entity
obtaining such ownership, will be excluded from participating in such voting
arrangements, and excluded from determining the 25% threshold.
Section

The
Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Servicer’s normal
business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and
other
papers of the 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 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 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 Servicer.

The
Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
O-2)
for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and
Affiliates. The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the

immediately
preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Depositor

material misstatement or omission contained in any information provided by
the
Trustee including, without limitation, in the certification provided by the
Trustee in the form of Exhibit O-2 or the assessment of compliance provided
pursuant to Section 11.07. If the indemnification provided for herein
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then the Trustee,
in connection with (i) a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section
11.04 or Section 11.07 or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained
in any information provided by the Trustee including, without limitation,
in the
certification provided by the Trustee in the form of Exhibit O-2, or in the
assessment of compliance or attestation report provided pursuant to Section
11.07, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of
the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other. This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of any party to this Agreement.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and
their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person
may sustain based upon (i) a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under Sections
3.17, 11.07 or 11.04 or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained
in
any information provided by the Servicer including, without limitation, in
the
information provided pursuant to Sections 3.17 and 11.07. This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of any party to this Agreement.
The
Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer, the Trustee and
their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person
may sustain based upon (i) a breach of the Depositor’s obligations under this
Section 11.04 or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in
any
information provided by the Depositor.
The
Trustee will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency
of
any information not prepared by it included in any Form 10-D, Form 10-K or
Form
8-K. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure
to properly prepare or file any Form 10-D or Form 10-K resulting from or
relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to receive any information
in a
timely manner from the party responsible for delivery of such
information. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any
failure to properly file any Form 10-D or 10-K resulting from or relating

any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form 10-D, Form 10-K
or
Form 8-K. Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act

a copy of any executed report, statement or information.
114
To
the
extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor certifies that reports
and certifications differing from those required under this Section 11.04
are
necessary to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,
the
parties hereto hereby agree that each will reasonably cooperate to amend
the
provisions of this Section 11.04 in order to comply with such amended reporting
requirements and such amendment of this Section 11.04. Any such
amendment may result in the reduction of the reports executed by and filed
on
behalf of the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment
pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities
under this Agreement.
Each

obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance in respect
of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with
reasonable requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional or
different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary

obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB.
Section
11.05 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification.
Each
Form
10-K shall include a certification (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the
Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and

Exhibit R on which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying
Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates
(collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification
Parties”) can reasonably rely. The senior officer in charge
of the servicing function of the Servicer shall serve as the Certifying Person
on behalf of the Trust Fund. Neither the Servicer nor the Depositor
will request delivery of a certification under this clause unless the Trustee
is
required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with
respect to the Trust Fund. In the event that prior to the filing date
of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the Servicer or the Depositor has

Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and
the
Exchange Act, including, without limitation that in the event that an overall
opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall

report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use
language. To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not
applicable to such Person, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions

to
that effect.
(iii) The
Servicer shall cause each of its Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the
Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor) an assessment of compliance and
accountant’s attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 11.07.

upon each (A) annual report on assessments of compliance with servicing criteria
provided pursuant

to
this
Section 11.07 and (C) accountant’s report provided pursuant to this Section
11.07 and shall include a certification that each such report discloses any
deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public accountants of
such
Person to enable such accountants to render the certificates provided for

(b) In
the event the Servicer, the Trustee or Reporting Subcontractor is terminated
or
resigns during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall provide documents
and information required by this Section 11.07 with respect to the period
of
time it was subject to this Agreement or provided services with respect to
the
Trust Fund, the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
(c) An
assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section
11.07(a)(iii) or (iv) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria
other than those specified by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 11.07(a)(i).
Section
11.08 Use of
Subcontractors.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) It
shall not be necessary for the Servicer or the Trustee to seek the consent
of
the Depositor or any other party hereto to the utilization of any
Subcontractor. The Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
promptly upon request provide to the Trustee and the Depositor (or any designee
of the Depositor, such as the Servicer or administrator) a written description
(in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function
of each Subcontractor utilized by such Person, specifying (i) the identity
of
each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting
Subcontractor, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall cause any
such
Subcontractor used by such Person for the benefit of the Depositor to comply
with the provisions of Sections 11.07 and 11.09 of this Agreement to the
same
extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer (except with
respect to the Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing and filing any
Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person) or the Trustee, as
applicable. The Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Trustee
and the Servicer, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to
be
delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.05 and Section 11.07, in
each
case as and when required to be delivered.
Section
11.09 Amendments.
In
the
event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any
provision of this Article 11, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect
the new
agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article 11 pursuant
to
Section 10.01, which amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or
Rating Agency confirmations or the consent of any
Certificateholder.
If,
during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports
with respect to the Trust Fund, the Servicer is no longer an Affiliate of
the
Depositor, the Depositor shall assume the obligations and responsibilities
of
the Servicer in this Article 11 with respect to the preparation and filing
of
the Exchange Act Reports and/or acting as the Certifying Person, if the
Depositor has received indemnity from such successor Servicer satisfactory
to
the Depositor, and such Servicer has agreed to provide a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification to the Depositor substantially in the form of Exhibit
U.

INDYMAC
MBS, INC.
MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES,
SERIES
2007-AR7
Representations
and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans
IndyMac
Bank, F.S.B. (“IndyMac”) hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date or if so specified in this Schedule
III,
as of the Cut-off Date with respect to each Mortgage
Loan. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
Schedule III shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”) relating to the above-referenced Series, among
IndyMac, as seller and servicer, IndyMac MBS, Inc., as depositor, and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as trustee.
(1)
The
information set forth on Schedule I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects
as of
the Closing Date.
(2)
All
regularly scheduled monthly payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan
up
to and including the Due Date before the Cut-off Date have been made; and
as of
the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan had a regularly scheduled monthly payment
that was 60 or more days Delinquent during the twelve months before the Cut-off
Date.
(3)
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan, each Mortgage
is a
valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to
(a)
the lien of nondelinquent current real property taxes and assessments and
liens
or interests arising under or as a result of any federal, state or local
law,
regulation or ordinance relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances
and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a unit in a condominium project
or
planned unit development, any lien for common charges permitted by statute
or
homeowner association fees, (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 generally acceptable
to mortgage lending institutions in the area wherein the related Mortgaged
Property is located 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.
(4)
Immediately before the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor,
the
Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free
and
clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and had full
right
and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with,
any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
(5)
As of
the Closing Date, there was no delinquent tax or assessment lien against
the
related Mortgaged Property.
(6)
There
is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of
or
interest on such Mortgage Note.
S-III-1
(7)
There
are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to or equal with, the
lien
of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in item (11) below.
(8) No
Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by water, fire, earthquake,
windstorm, flood, tornado or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the
presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, as to which the Seller
makes no representation) so as to affect adversely the value of the related
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.
(9)
Each
Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws and regulations, including usury, equal credit
opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending, and disclosure
laws, or any noncompliance does not have a material adverse effect on the
value
of the related Mortgage Loan.
(10)
The
Seller has not modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that
a
Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which has been
recorded or submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests
of
the Certificateholders and which has been delivered to the Trustee); satisfied,
cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released the
related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such Mortgage;
or executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification or
satisfaction with respect thereto.
(11)
A
lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal
to the
Cut-off Date 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 and each such policy is valid and remains in full force and
effect.
(12)
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.
(13)
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, unless such failure to be
wholly within such boundaries and restriction lines or such encroachment,
as the
case may be, does not have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged
Property.
(14)
As
of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, no improvement located
on or
being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning
law or regulation unless such violation would not have a material adverse
effect
on the value of the related Mortgaged Property. 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 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
the Mortgaged Property.
(15)
The
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.
S-III-2
(16)
The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder.
(17)
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.
(18)
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.
(19)
At
the Closing Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered
by a
valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier
that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other
hazards
as are customarily required by institutional single family mortgage lenders
in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, 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. Anything to the contrary in this item (19) notwithstanding,
no breach of this item (19) shall be deemed to give rise to any obligation
of
the Seller to repurchase or substitute for such affected Mortgage Loan or
Loans
so long as the Servicer maintains a blanket policy pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(20)
If
at the time of origination of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property
was in an area then 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 then-current requirements of the Flood Insurance Administration
is in effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable
carrier.
(21)
There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently
occurring.
(22)
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 material
non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller has not waived any
material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(23)
Each
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property prepared
in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP).
(24)
Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a stated term of not less than
five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(25)
Each
Mortgage Loan was selected from among the outstanding adjustable rate one-
to
four-family mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the Closing Date as to
which the representations and warranties made with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
set forth in this Schedule III can be made. No such selection was
made in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders.
S-III-3
(26)
None
of the Mortgage Loans is a “high cost” loan, “covered” loan or any other
similarly designated loan as defined under any state, local or federal
law, as defined by applicable predatory and abusive lending
laws.
(27) Approximately
0.21% of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, 4.79% of the Group 2 Mortgage Loans,
3.39%
of the Group 3 Mortgage Loans and 4.08% of the Mortgage Loans in Aggregate
Loan
Group II, in each case by aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group or Aggregate Loan Group as of the Cut-off
Date,
are Cooperative Loans.
(28)
No
proceeds from any Mortgage Loan underlying the Certificates were used to
finance
single-premium credit insurance policies.
(29)
None
of the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans impose a Prepayment Charge
on the related Mortgage Loan for a term in excess of five years from the
origination of the Mortgage Loan.
(30)
Each
Mortgage Loan was in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility
for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Mae’s Selling Guide.
(31)
Each
Mortgage Loan has been underwritten and serviced substantially in accordance
with the Seller’s guidelines, subject to such variances as are reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule or that the Seller has approved.
(32)
No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such
terms
are defined in the then-current version of Standard & Poor's LEVELS®
Glossary, which is now Version 5.7 Revised, Appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after Oct. 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by
the
Georgia Fair Lending Act.
(33)
The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security
interest” (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the UCC) in each Mortgage Note in
favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens
and is
enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.
Each
Mortgage Note constitutes “promissory notes” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(65)
of the UCC). Immediately before the assignment of each Mortgage Note to the
Trustee, the Depositor had good and marketable title to such Mortgage Note
free
and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance of any Person. All original executed
copies of each Mortgage Note have been or shall be delivered to the Trustee
within five Business Days following the Closing Date. Other than the security
interest granted to the Trustee, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned,
sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any Mortgage Note.
The
Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against the Depositor that include a description of any of the
Mortgage Notes. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax liens filed
against the Depositor. None of the Mortgage Notes has any marks or
notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed
to any Person other than the Trustee.
(34)
To
the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there was no fraud involved in the
origination of any Mortgage Loan by the mortgagee or by the Mortgagor, any
appraiser or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan.
(35) Each
Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code.
S-III-4
(36) Each
Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with
applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to,
all
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(37) No
Mortgage Loan is subject to the requirements of the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994.
(38) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in any of the following
statutes: the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”), the New
York Banking Law 6-1, the Arkansas Home Loan Protection Act effective July
16,
2003 (Act 1340 of 2003), the Kentucky high-cost home loan statute effective
June
24, 2003 (Ky. Rev. Stat. Section 360.100), the New Jersey Home Ownership
Act
effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et seq.), or the New Mexico
Home
Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx §§ 58-21A-1 et
seq.). No Mortgage Loan subject to the Georgia Act and secured by
owner occupied real property or an owner occupied manufactured home located
in
the state of Georgia was originated (or modified) on or after October 1,
2002
through and including March 6, 2003. No Mortgage Loan is a “High-Risk
Home Loan” as defined in the Illinois High-Risk Home Loan Act effective January
1, 2004 (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et seq.). None of the Mortgage
Loans that are secured by property located in the State of Illinois are in
violation of the provisions of the Illinois Interest Act (815 Ill. Comp.
Stat.
205/1 et seq.).
(39) None
of the Mortgage Loans is a “high cost” loan, “covered” loan (excluding home
loans defined as “covered home loans” in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security
Act of 2002 that were originated between November 26, 2003 and July 7, 2004),
“high risk home” or “predatory” loan or any other similarly designated loan as
defined under any state, local or federal law, as defined by applicable
predatory and abusive lending laws.

a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates

IndyMac
MBS, Inc., as Depositor
Principal
in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein
or
in the Agreement (defined below). Accordingly, the Certificate
Balance at any time may be less than the Certificate Balance as set forth
herein. This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an
interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer
or
the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or

Initial Certificate Balances of all Certificates of the Class to which this
Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust
Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by IndyMac MBS,

a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates

IndyMac
MBS, Inc., as Depositor
Principal

or
in the Agreement (defined below). Accordingly, the Certificate
Balance at any time may be less than the Certificate Balance as set forth

or
the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are

the
aggregate Initial Certificate Balances of the denominations of all Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans
deposited by IndyMac MBS, Inc. (the “Depositor”). The Trust Fund was

Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
[No
transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer
is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is
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 event
that such a transfer is to be made within three years from the date of the
initial issuance of Certificates pursuant hereto, there shall also be delivered
(except in the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities
Act)
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant
to
an exemption from the Securities Act and such state securities laws, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the
Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor. The Holder hereof desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee
and
the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.]

subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person
investing on behalf of or with plan assets of any such plan, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Servicer,

of such Certificate will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction
under

in the
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee,

contrary herein, until this certificate has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, any purported transfer of a Certificate of
this
Class to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to
the

IndyMac
INDA Mortgage Loan Trust 200_-_
Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-_
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
IndyMac MBS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified
on
the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and
representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record
Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the
month
of such Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
Record
Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such
form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by
first
class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate
Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in
like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate
at the
Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
E-1
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by
the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group is less than 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
Aggregate Loan Group as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option
to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans
in the
related Aggregate Loan Group and all property acquired in respect of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group at a purchase price
determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such
optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the
Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(or
any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
the
Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed
pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the
death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any
term
used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
in
the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that
meaning.

the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans
deposited by IndyMac MBS, Inc. (the “Depositor”). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off
Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, IndyMac Bank,
F.S.B., as seller and servicer (the "Seller" or the "Servicer", as
appropriate), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee

purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans.

will be
entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the
Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any
remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender
of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
maintained by the Trustee.

is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the 1933 Act and such laws. In the event of any such

basis
therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which
Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor.

have received either (i) a representation [letter] from the transferee of
such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or
other benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code,
or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of any such plan,
which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Servicer,

is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds
contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in
Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and
that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections
I
and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate presented
for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA 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 Servicer to the
effect
that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust Fund. 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
Section
4975 of the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
Reference

same
effect as if set forth at this place.

Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
IndyMac MBS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified
on
the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and
representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record
Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the
month
of such Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
by
first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified
in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by
the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
F-1-6
Class
in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group is less than 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
Aggregate Loan Group as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option
to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans
in the
related Aggregate Loan Group and all property acquired in respect of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group at a purchase price
determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such
optional termination occurs, the related obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or
other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be
distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the
trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any
term
used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
in
the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that
meaning.

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 IndyMac MBS,
Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., as seller and
servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, 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.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed
on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
(ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is
through
an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that
is
not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise
liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent
Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does
not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect
to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit
that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(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
I-1
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 is not a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within
the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of a U.S. taxpayer.
12. The
Transferee will not transfer the Certificates, directly or indirectly, to
a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another U.S.
taxpayer.
13. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another U.S.
taxpayer.
14. Either:
(a)
(i)
At the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the Transferee’s two
fiscal years preceding the Transferee’s fiscal year of transfer, the
Transferee’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million
and its net assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the gross assets and net assets of a
Transferee do not include any obligation of any Related Person, as defined
below, or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring
the
other asset is to permit the Transferee to satisfy the conditions of this
paragraph 15(a); (ii) The Transferee is an Eligible Corporation, as defined
below, and hereby agrees that any subsequent transfer of the interest will
be to
another Eligible Corporation in a transaction that satisfies this Transfer
Affidavit, including this paragraph 15(a); and (iii) The Transferee has not
given the Transferor any reason to know that the
I-2
Transferee
will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest
or that the Transferee cannot or will not pay any taxes associated with the
residual interest; or
(b)(i)
The Transferee is a United States Person; (ii) The present value of the
anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest
does
not exceed the sum of: (A) The present value of any consideration given to
the
Transferee to acquire the interest; (B) The present value of the expected
future
distributions on the interest; and (C) The present value of the anticipated
tax
savings associated with holding the interest as any REMIC generates losses;
and
(iii) For purposes of calculating the aforementioned present values: (A)
The
transferee has assumed that it pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate
of
tax specified in Code Section 11(b)(1) (unless the Transferee has been subject
to the alternative minimum tax under Code Section 55 in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate, in which case the Transferee can assume that
it
pays tax at the rate specified in Code Section 55(b)(1)(B) provided the
Transferee states in this Transfer Affidavit that it is using such alternate
rate and that has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Code
Section
55 in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the
current
taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate):and (B) The Transferee
uses
a discount rate equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d) for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by
the
Transferee.
The
term
“Eligible Corporation” means any domestic C corporation (as defined in section
1361(a)(2) of the Code) other than a corporation which is exempt from, or
is not
subject to, tax under section 11 of the Code, an entity described in section
851(a) or 856(a) of the Code, a REMIC; or an organization to which part I,
subchapter T, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code applies. The Term
“Related Person” means any person that bears a relationship to the Transferee
enumerated in section 267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using "20 percent"
instead of "50 percent" where it appears under the provisions; or is under
common control (within the meaning of section 52(a) and (b) of the Code)
with
the Transferee.
15. Either
(i) 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 or with plan assets of such a plan; or (ii) the Transferee
is an insurance company that is investing 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 the purchase and holding of
the Class A-R Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

EXHIBIT I
Section
5.02(c) of the Agreement
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required

I.

long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the 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.
