W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Trustee shall elect that four segregated asset pools within the
Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Charges, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement and the Cap Agreements, (iii) the Swap Account, (iv) the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive
Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) be treated for
federal income tax purposes as comprising four REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC" or,
in the alternative, Pooling Tier REMIC-1, Pooling Tier REMIC-2, the Lower Tier
REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC, respectively). Each Class of Certificates (other
than the Class P and Class R Certificates), other than the right of each Class
of LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without
duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO
Shortfalls and the right of the Class X Certificates to receive payments from
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Cap Agreements and the Class IO
Shortfalls, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificates represent
ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of Pooling Tier
REMIC-1, Pooling Tier REMIC-2, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Startup Day for each REMIC described
herein is the Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular
interest is the latest date referenced in Section 2.06.
The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, set out below. The Lower Tier
REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling Tier
REMIC-2 Regular Interests. Pooling Tier REMIC-2 shall hold as assets the several
classes of uncertificated Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests. Pooling Tier
REMIC-1 shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the
Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Cap
Agreements, (iii) the Swap Account, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and
(v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper Tier Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the
obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls).
For federal income tax purposes, the Class P Certificates represent
beneficial ownership of the Prepayment Charges, each Class of LIBOR Certificates
represents beneficial ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
and the right to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without
duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, and the Class X Certificates
represent beneficial ownership of two regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC
and the right to receive payments from the Class IO Shortfalls, the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the
Cap Agreements, which portions of the Trust Fund shall be treated as a grantor
trust.
Pooling Tier REMIC-1
Pooling Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in Pooling
Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest, other than the Class PT1-R Interest, is
hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling Tier REMIC-1. Pooling
Tier REMIC-1 Interests with an "I" in their designation shall relate to the
Group I Mortgage Loans and Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interests with a "II" in their
designation shall relate to the Group II Mortgage Loans. Pooling Tier REMIC-1
shall also issue the Class PT1-R Interest, which shall be represented by the
Class R Certificates. The Class PT1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole
class of residual interest in Pooling Tier REMIC-1.

------------------------
(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Loan Group I WAC Rate.
(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted
average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans and
having an "A" in their class designation, provided that, on each
Distribution Date on which interest is distributable on the Corresponding
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest, this Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular
Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Swap LIBOR
subject to a maximum rate equal to the weighted average of the
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular
Interests relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans and having an "A" in
their class designation.
(3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted
average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans and
having a "B" in their class designation.
(4) Each Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest is an interest-only interest and
does not have a principal balance but has a notional balance
("Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Notional Balance") equal to the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Principal Amount of the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular
Interest. From the Closing Date through and including the Corresponding
Actual Crossover Distribution Date, each Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest
shall be entitled to receive interest that accrues on the Corresponding
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest at a rate equal to the excess, if
any, of (i) the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rate for the Corresponding
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest over (ii) Swap LIBOR. After the
related Corresponding Actual Crossover Distribution Date, the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-2 IO Interest shall not accrue interest.
(5) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Loan Group II WAC Rate.

Rates shown above.
On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries
and payments of principal in respect of the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to the then outstanding Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other
than the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests) relating to the Group I Mortgage
Loans with the lowest numerical denomination until the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Principal Amount of such interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans
with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses, Subsequent
Recoveries and payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests, until the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Principal
Amount of such interests is reduced to zero.

(1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these
interests is a per annum variable rate equal to the Lower Tier REMIC WAC
Cap.
(2) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group I Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average
of the pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests)
relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans.
(3) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group II Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average
of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests)
relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans.
(4) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not
have a Lower-Tier REMIC Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this
Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest
distributable on the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests.
(5) The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the
Lower Tier REMIC and it does not have a principal amount or an interest
rate.
(6) For all Distribution Dates, the Lower Tier Principal Amount of these Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be rounded to eight decimal places.
Each Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1A, Class LT-A-1B,
Class LT-A-2A, Class LT-A-2B, Class LT-A-2C, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class
LT-M-3, Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3 and Class LT-B-4 Interests are
hereby designated the LT Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT Accretion Directed
Classes").
On each Distribution Date, 25% of the increase in the Subordinated
Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount
of the LT Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be reduced by an
amount equal to 25% of any increase in the Subordinated Amount that is
attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of its
Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower Tier REMIC
Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date,
the increase in the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual
Interest may not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the
Class LT-Accrual Interest. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments
of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans and all Subsequent Recoveries
allocable to principal shall be allocated (i) 25% to the Class LT-Accrual
Interest, (ii) 25% to the LT Accretion Directed Classes (such principal payments
and Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among such LT Accretion Directed
Classes in an amount equal to 25% of the principal amounts and Subsequent
Recoveries allocated to their respective Corresponding Classes), until paid in
full and (iii) 50% to Class LT-Group I(SUB) Interest, Class LT-Group I Interest,
Class LT-Group II(SUB) Interest, Class LT-Group II Interest and Class LT-XX
Interest (and further allocated among these Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
in the manner described in the next sentence). As among the Class LT-Group
I(SUB) Interest, Class LT-Group I Interest, Class LT-Group II(SUB) Interest,
Class LT-Group II Interest and Class LT-XX Interest, all payments of scheduled
principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans and
Subsequent Recoveries referred to in clause (iii) of the previous sentence shall
be allocated (i) first, to the Class LT-Group I(SUB) Interest, and Class
LT-Group II(SUB) Interest, each from the related Loan Group, so that their
respective Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount (computed to at least eight decimal
places) is equal to 0.01% of the related Group Subordinate Amount (except that
if any such amount is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period,
the least amount of principal shall be distributed to the Class LT-Group I(SUB)
Interest and Class LT-Group II(SUB) Interest, as applicable, such that the Lower
Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); (ii) second, to the Class
LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest 0.01% of the principal
collected in respect of the related Loan Group; and (iii) third, any remaining
amounts of principal shall be distributed to the Class LT-XX Interest.
Notwithstanding the above, principal payments allocated to the Class X Interest
that result in the reduction in the Subordinated Amount shall be allocated (i)
50% to the Class LT-Accrual Interest (until paid in full) and (ii) 50% to the
Class LT-Group I(SUB) Interest, the Class LT-Group II(SUB) Interest, the Class
LT-Group I Interest, the Class LT-Group II Interest and the Class LT-XX Interest
(and allocated among these Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in a manner
similar to that described in the immediately preceding sentence).
Reductions to Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amounts as a result of
Realized Losses and increases in Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amounts as a result
of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied so that after all distributions have
been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of
each LT Accretion Directed Class is equal to 25% of the Class Certificate
Balance of its Corresponding Class, (ii) the Class LT-Accrual Interest is equal
to 25% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus 25%
of the Subordinated Amount, (iii) the Class LT-Group I(SUB) Interest is equal to
0.01% of the Group Subordinate Amount of the Group I Mortgage Loans, (iv) the
Class LT-Group II(SUB) Interest is equal to 0.01% of the Group Subordinate
Amount of the Group II Mortgage Loans, (v) the Class LT-Group I Interest is
equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage
Loans, (vi) the Class LT-Group II Interest is equal to 0.01% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Group II Mortgage Loans and (vii) the remainder
shall be applied to the Class LT-XX Interest.
Upper-Tier REMIC
The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following classes of Upper Tier
REMIC Regular Interests and each such interest, other than the Class UT-R
Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.
The Class UT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual
interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and shall be represented by the Class R
Certificates.

(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Group I Loan Cap) for the Corresponding
Class of Certificates and (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for the Class
LT-Group I Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group I Rate").
(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Group II Loan Cap) for the Corresponding
Class of Certificates and (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for the Class
LT-Group II Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group II Rate").
(3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the applicable WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC Pool Cap
Rate.
(4) This interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal
balance. On each Distribution Date, the Class IO Interest shall be
entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Class LT-IO
Interest. This interest shall be beneficially owned by the holders of the
Class X Certificates and shall be held as an asset of the Swap Account.
(5) The Class X Interest has an initial principal balance of $19,848,085 but
it will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a
notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class X
Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of
the Lower Tier Principal Amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
(other than the Class LT-IO Interest) as of the first day of the related
Interest Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the
Class X Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if
any, of the Lower Tier REMIC WAC Cap over the product of (i) 2 and (ii)
the weighted average Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rate of the Lower Tier
REMIC Regular Interests (other than Class LT-Group I(SUB), Class LT-Group
I, Class LT-Group II(SUB), Class LT-Group II, Class LT-XX and Class LT-IO
Interests), where the Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rate on the Class
LT-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each
LT-Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Upper Tier
Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest.
With respect to any Distribution Date, interest that so accrues on the
notional principal balance of the Class X Interest shall be deferred in an
amount equal to any increase in the Subordinated Amount on such
Distribution Date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest.
(6) The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the
Lower-Tier Interests for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be
distributed on the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC at the rates shown above,
provided that the Class IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest before
any other interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses, Subsequent
Recoveries and all payments of principal shall be allocated to the Upper-Tier
Interests until the outstanding principal balance of each such interest equals
the outstanding Class Certificate Balance of the Corresponding Class of
Certificates as of such Distribution Date.

Class B-4 Certificates will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the
applicable Pass-Through Margin and (ii) the Pool Cap.
(6) The Class X Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the Class
X Interest, the Class IO Interest, the right to receive Class IO
Shortfalls, the Cap Agreements, amounts in the Swap Account, subject to
the obligation to pay Net Swap Payments and Upper Tier Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and
amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to the obligation to
make payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, the
Securities Administrator will treat a Class X Certificateholder's
obligation to make payments of Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and,
without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts to the LIBOR
Certificates from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account to
the LIBOR Certificateholders as payments made pursuant to an interest rate
cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each
Class of LIBOR Certificates. Such rights of the Class X Certificateholders
and LIBOR Certificateholders shall be treated as held in a portion of the
Trust Fund that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of
subchapter J of the Code. The Class X Certificates do not have a Class
Certificate Balance.
(7) The Class R Certificates do not have a principal balance or an interest
rate.

Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but also the
right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Swap
Account in respect of any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without
duplication, from the Swap Account in respect of Upper Tier Carry Forward
Amounts. Each of these Certificates will also be subject to the obligation
to pay Class IO Shortfalls as described in Section 8.13. For federal
income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the LIBOR Certificates on
any such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on their
Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution
Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account or the Swap Account, as applicable, and any amount distributable
on such Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest on such
Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on the LIBOR
Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been
paid to the Swap Account, all pursuant to, and as further provided in
Section 8.13. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities
Administrator will treat a LIBOR Certificateholder's right to receive
payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Swap Account as payments
made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X
Certificateholders.
The minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other than
the Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 with integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may
be issued in a different amount. The minimum denomination for each of the Class
P and Class X Certificates will be a 1% Percentage Interest in such Class, and
the minimum denomination for the Class R Certificates shall be 100% Percentage
Interest in such Class.

original recorded document described in (iii), (iv) and (vi) above.
From time to time, the Responsible Party, the Depositor or the
Servicer, as applicable, shall forward to the Custodian, additional original
documents and additional documents evidencing an assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement upon receipt of such documents. All such mortgage documents held
by the Custodian as to each Mortgage Loan shall constitute the "Custodial File".
To the extent not previously delivered to the Sponsor pursuant to
the applicable Purchase Agreement, on or prior to the Closing Date, the
Responsible Party shall deliver to the Custodian, Assignments of Mortgages, in
blank, for each Mortgage Loan. No later than thirty (30) Business Days following
the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer of the
complete recording information for a Mortgage, the Servicer shall promptly
submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at the expense of the Responsible
Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Custodian or the Depositor, in
the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(b)(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to
reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be
completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if the
Custodian and each Rating Agency have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the
expense of the Trust and satisfactory in form and substance to the Custodian and
each Rating Agency, to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments of
Mortgage in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's
interest in the related Mortgage Note. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be
recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned by the Responsible Party, at the
expense of the Responsible Party, to "U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2006,
Securitized Asset Backed Receivables LLC Trust 2006-WM1". In the event that any
such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Responsible Party shall promptly cause to be delivered a substitute
Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect and thereafter cause each such
assignment to be duly recorded at no expense to the Trust Fund.
In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the Custodian within 180 days (or such other time period as may be required
by any Rating Agency) following the Closing Date, and in the event that the
Responsible Party does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or
receipt of written notification of such failure from the Depositor, the related
Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Depositor, be repurchased by the
Responsible Party at the price and in the manner specified in Section 2.03. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the
Responsible Party cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified
period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction; provided, that the Responsible Party shall instead deliver a
recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not
available, an officer's certificate of an officer of the Responsible Party,
confirming that such document has been accepted for recording.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains or loses the
original Mortgage or assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of
the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by
the Responsible Party to the Custodian, prior to the Closing Date of a copy of
such Mortgage or assignment, as the case may be, certified (such certification
to be an original thereof) by the public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the recorded original thereof.

(c) It is understood and agreed by the Servicer and the Responsible
Party that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03
shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee
on the Closing Date, and shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor and the
Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage
Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any
Mortgage File. Upon discovery by any of the Responsible Party, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Servicer of a
breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. The
Securities Administrator shall enforce the rights of the Trust under the Sponsor
Representation Letter.
(d) Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Responsible Party that any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the
requirements as determined in the Custodian's review of the related Custodial
File or within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
Responsible Party of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interest of the Trustee, or the Certificateholders therein, the
Responsible Party shall use its best efforts to cause to be remedied a material
defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File or promptly to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be
remedied, the Responsible Party shall, at the Depositor's option as specified in
writing and provided to the Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator, the
Custodian and the Trustee, (i) if such 30- or 60-day period, as applicable,

Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 2.03; or (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan
at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant
to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian
of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the
delivery of the Mortgage File to the Custodian for any such Substitute Mortgage
Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach (i) which causes a Mortgage Loan
not to constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) by the Responsible Party of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in clause (zz), (aaa), (bbb), (ccc),
(jjj), (kkk), (lll), (mmm), (nnn), (ooo), (ppp), (qqq), (rrr) and (sss) of
Schedule III in each case, will be deemed automatically to materially and
adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan and the interests of the

respect to any Distribution Date after the end of the related Prepayment Period.
Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Due
Period of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained
by the Responsible Party on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the Due

Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such Due Period and
thereafter the Responsible Party shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
(f) The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the

Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
and the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to
such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection
Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall
release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Party and shall
execute and deliver at the Responsible Party's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Responsible Party, in each case without

Section 2.03.

more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans. The amount of such shortage plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans (collectively, the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") shall be remitted by
the Responsible Party to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on
or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the
month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan
became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

referred to in Section 2.03(d), the Responsible Party shall indemnify the
Depositor, any of its Affiliates, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Trust and hold such parties harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, any taxes payable by the Trust) resulting from any third party
claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting
from, a breach by the Responsible Party of any of its representations and
warranties or obligations contained in this Agreement.
(i) The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
(j) In the event that a Mortgage Loan shall have been repurchased
pursuant to this Agreement or the Sponsor Representation Letter, the proceeds
from such repurchase shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit
Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Responsible Party became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan
and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Custodian shall release the related
Custodial File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person as
directed by the Servicer, 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. In accordance with Section 10.05(b), the Securities
Administrator shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of a purchase of a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Responsible
Party under this Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan
as to which a breach of a representation and warranty has occurred and is
continuing, together with any related indemnification obligations of the
Responsible Party set forth in Section 2.03(h), shall constitute the sole
remedies against such Person respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor and any of its Affiliates, or the Trustee on
their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 [Reserved].
Section 2.05 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, the Securities Administrator 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 2.06 REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the
designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.

2035, which is the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which
the latest Mortgage Loan maturity date occurs.
Amounts distributable to the Class X Certificates (prior to any

deemed paid from the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class X Interest and the
Class IO Interest to the Holders of the Class X Certificates prior to
distribution of any Basis Risk Payments to the LIBOR Certificates or Swap
Termination Payment to the Swap Provider.
For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the LIBOR
Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on
their Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution
Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
or the Swap Account, as applicable, and any amount distributable on such
Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in
excess of the amount distributable on the Corresponding Class of LIBOR
Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to
the Swap Account, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 8.13.

provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute and deliver any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Trustee. The Servicer shall at its own expense be responsible for
preparing and recording all lien releases and mortgage satisfactions in
accordance with state and local regulations. The Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal
law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to
them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall
execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and
any Subservicer such documents provided to the Trustee as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out their
servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to
the Servicer, and this Agreement shall constitute, a power of attorney to carry
out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged
Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee. The Trustee shall execute
a separate power of attorney, furnished to it by the Servicer, in favor of the
Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable
to enable the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Subservicers under such powers of
attorney and shall be indemnified by Servicer for any costs, liabilities or
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Servicer's misuse of
such power of attorney.
(b) Subject to Section 3.09(b), in accordance with the standards of
the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09(b), and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not be added to
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.01) and the Servicer shall not (i) (unless the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in
the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or
increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual
payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan
(except for a reduction of interest payments resulting from the application of
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state statutes) or (ii)
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions after the startup day" under the REMIC Provisions, or (iii)
except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any Prepayment Charges.
(d) The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer
from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and
Subservicers. (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer represents and warrants to the other
parties hereto that no Subservicing Agreement is in effect as of the Closing
Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans required to be serviced by it hereunder.
The Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee of any such Subservicer and Subservicing Agreement, which notice
shall contain all information (including without limitation a copy of the
Subservicing Agreement and any amendments or modifications thereof) reasonably
necessary to enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g),
to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant
to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be
filed under the Exchange Act). No Subservicing Agreement shall be effective
until 30 days after such written notice is received by the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be required to
review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability in
connection therewith.
(b) The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer
(or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.02
and with Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 and 6.05 of this Agreement to the same extent
as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information
required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 8.12 of this Agreement.
The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subservicer and
delivering to applicable Persons any servicer compliance statement required to
be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.22 and any assessment of
compliance report and related accountant's attestation required to be delivered
by such Subservicer under Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
(c) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02(e), the
Servicer and any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer is permitted to utilize one
or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. The
Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor a written
description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role
and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any such
Subservicer, specifying, not later than the date specified for delivery of the
annual report on assessment of compliance set forth in Section 3.23(b) (i) the
identity of each such Subcontractor, if any, that is "participating in the
servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (ii)
which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of
compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (i) of
this paragraph. As a condition to the utilization by the Servicer or any such
Subservicer of any Subcontractor determined to be "participating in the
servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the
Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any such
Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator
to comply with the provisions of Section 3.23 of this Agreement to the same
extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be
responsible for obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the
applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's
attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.23,
in each case as and when required to be delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer engages a
Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such
Subcontractor is a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB
and whether any such affiliate or third-party vendor meets the criteria in Item
1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB. If the Servicer determines,
pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a "servicer"
within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item
1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be
deemed to be a Subservicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of
such Subservicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given
pursuant to Section 3.02(a).
Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers. The Servicer shall be entitled
to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any
Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement; provided, however, that the
termination, resignation or removal of a Subservicer shall be not be effective
until 30 days after written notice is received by both the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator that contains all information reasonably necessary to
enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately
and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange
Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the
Exchange Act). In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing
obligations of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or the Servicer, and the
Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter
into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under
Section 3.02.
Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Trustee without
fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination
due to an Event of Default).
Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any
Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference
to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and
the Trustee. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the
Servicer alone, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator (or any
successor Servicer) shall be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by
Trustee. In the event the Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be
the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the
Trustee, or its designee or the successor Servicer if the successor is not the
Trustee, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered
into, with copies thereof provided to the Trustee or the successor Servicer if
the successor is not the Trustee, prior to the Trustee or the successor Servicer
if the successor is not the Trustee, assuming such rights and obligations,
unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance
with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.
Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor
servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Subservicing Agreement had
been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Subservicing
Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, their designees or any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, its
designee or the successor Servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf
of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable Insurance Policies, follow such collection procedures as it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing
Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable,
any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the Scheduled Payments
due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 360 days; provided, that
any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization
schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except
as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii)
above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.01 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall
not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may waive, in whole or in part, a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver
relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan
or (ii) such Prepayment Charge is not permitted to be collected by applicable
law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted by the prior
sentence, 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 Collection 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 Collection Account; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not have an
obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure
to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete
information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time.
(b) (i) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to
receive any Basis Risk Payment and any Interest Rate Cap Payment and to secure
their limited recourse obligation to pay to the LIBOR Certificateholders Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts (prior to using any Net Swap Receipts).
(ii) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
deposit the amount of any Basis Risk Payment and any Interest Rate Cap
Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
(c) (i) On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amount on any Class of Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(O), the lesser of (x)
the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in the
definition thereof with respect to the Basis Risk Payment or Defaulted Swap
Termination Payments (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified
in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(N)) and (y) the aggregate Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of Certificates the
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount. Such payments shall be allocated to those
Classes and paid in the priority set forth in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(P)-(Q).
(ii) The Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess
Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part
I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any REMIC created
pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve
Fund Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For all federal tax
purposes, amounts transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Excess
Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by the Securities
Administrator to the Class X Certificateholders.
(iii) Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts paid by the Securities
Administrator to the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account or the Swap Account shall be accounted for by the Securities
Administrator as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest or the Class IO Interest,
respectively) and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR
Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for
the LIBOR Certificateholders' rights to receive payments of Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account (along with
payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication,
Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Swap Account) as rights in a
limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X
Certificateholders in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders.
(iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any payments from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this
Section 3.07(c) and Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(P), (Q) and (S).
(d) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee shall
establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11;
(ii) any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12(b) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator in
writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by
delivering notice to the Securities Administrator which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by Securities Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with
this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02. In no event shall
the Securities Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the
Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer.
(e) The Securities Administrator may invest the funds in the
Distribution Account in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with
Section 3.12. The Securities Administrator may withdraw from the Distribution
Account any income or gain earned from the investment of funds deposited therein
for its own benefit.
(f) The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator
and the Securities Administrator shall give notice to each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Collection Account not
later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof.
(g) In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of
2001, the Securities Administrator shall comply with the Xxxxx Fargo anti-money
laundering compliance program, including, without limitation, any customer
identification procedures.
Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts. In those cases where a
Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement,
the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more
segregated accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing
Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the
Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account
must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the
Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter
deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days
after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall ensure that each of the Mortgage Loans
shall be covered by a paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract with a
provider mutually acceptable to the Depositor and Servicer (each, a "Tax Service
Contract"). Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to the Trustee, or its
designee, at the Servicer's expense in the event that the Servicer is terminated
as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loan.
(b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b)
are not otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in
paragraph (a) hereof, the Servicer undertakes to perform such functions. To the
extent the related Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
segregated accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), which shall be Eligible Accounts.
The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's
receipt thereof, all (i) collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances
from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow
Payments") collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) all Condemnation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable law and Accepted Servicing Practices, and the Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more
than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account,
for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be
made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Subservicer to
the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance);
(iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv)
pay itself any interest earned on the Escrow Account or, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and
terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; (vi)
transfer such funds to a replacement Escrow Account that meets the requirements
hereof; (vii) recover amounts deposited in error or (viii) to release
Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of
the related Mortgaged Property or to the related Mortgagor in accordance with
the applicable law and Accepted Servicing Practices. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
use its reasonable best efforts to determine whether any such payments are made
by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Servicer
assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time
and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments, including
any payment required to be made in connection with a Mortgage Loan that does
provide for Escrow Payments and is insufficient to make such payments; provided,
however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account. (a) On behalf of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to
be established and maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such
account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trustee, the
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit into the Collection
Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds
into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it
subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest
on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent
such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to
the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the
related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Liquidation Proceeds and
Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in
accordance with this Agreement or the Sponsor Representation Letter; and
(vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need
not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon
collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing
activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Servicer shall at its own expense be responsible for
reviewing and reconciling the Collection Account in accordance with industry
standards and shall act promptly to resolve any discrepancies related thereto.
(b) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator, and the Securities
Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor, of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by the Servicer when established
and prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account. (a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01:
(i) on or prior to each Remittance Date, to remit to the Securities
Administrator (A) the Securities Administrator Fee with respect to such
Distribution Date and (B) all Available Funds in respect of the related
Distribution Date together with all amounts representing Prepayment
Charges (payable to the Class P Certificateholders) from the Mortgage
Loans received during the related Prepayment Period;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans with
respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01;
(iii) to pay the Servicer or any Subservicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees or (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections or
other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO
Property);
(iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition
to the Servicing Fee) on each Remittance Date any interest or investment
income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been repurchased or replaced by such Person
pursuant to this Agreement or the Sponsor Representation Letter, all
amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01;
(vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in
respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.15;
(viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee for
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 7.02 or
Section 8.05;
(ix) to reimburse the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation under
this Agreement or the Sponsor Representation Letter that were included in
the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising
out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not
otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof;
(x) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in
error; and
(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination
of this Agreement.
(b) The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix)
above. The Servicer shall provide written notification (as set forth in Section
4.01(d)) to the Securities Administrator, on or prior to the next succeeding
Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account
pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.
Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, Escrow
Accounts and the Distribution Account. (a) The Servicer may invest the funds in
the Collection Account and the Escrow Accounts (to the extent permitted by law
and the related Mortgage Loan documents) and the Securities Administrator may
invest funds in the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12,
each such Account is referred to as an "Investment Account"), in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Permitted
Investment managed by or advised by the Securities Administrator or any of its
Affiliates may mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be
made in the name of the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable.
The Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled
to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other
instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the
Servicer or the Securities Administrator or its agent, as applicable, together
with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the Servicer or the Securities Administrator or its agent, as applicable. In the
event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such
date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder that such
Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in an
Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, held by or
on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. The Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Securities Administrator,
shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator, and shall be subject
to the Securities Administrator's withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section
3.07(e). The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account
the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment of
funds held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or if a default
occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment of funds
held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, the Servicer shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.13 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained
for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related
Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary
to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part
of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each
case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with
extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at
the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be deposited in
the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans
held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to the Securities Administrator, be added to the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to
be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a general policy rating of A:X or better in Best's
(or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard
losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property
a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the
Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance
with the terms of such policy.
(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond
in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The
Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of
the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by
the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded
thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and
fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior
written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Servicer
shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering
errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
Section 3.14 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance
or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business
judgment, the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust
Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "due-on-sale" clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into either (i)
an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) a
substitution agreement as provided in the succeeding sentence. The Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided, that no such substitution shall be effective unless
such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit
risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with
any assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter
into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained.
Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Securities
Administrator that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement
has been completed and shall forward to the Custodian the executed original of
such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section 3.15 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an acquisition
of REO Property) the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans
as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.07, and which are not released from this Agreement pursuant to any
other provision hereof. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize
upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt
of principal and interest by the Trustee, taking into account, among other
things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the
provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an uninsured cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in
its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net Liquidation
Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the
Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds
or Subsequent Recoveries from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in
Section 3.11. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries or any income from an
REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to
the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the
Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection
with a liquidation or REO Disposition; third, to reimburse the Servicer for any
related xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be
allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest
at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of
the recovery so allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing
Fee Rate) and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows:
first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the
Securities Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02,
subject to paragraph (g) of Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess
recoveries from an REO Disposition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of
the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related
Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, the Servicer shall
cause an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be
conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the
Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a written
report of the environmental inspection.
In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that
the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes and (b) the Servicer proceeds with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs
associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
and any related environmental clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related
Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully
reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from
amounts in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the
Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from general collections for all
Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11.
Section 3.16 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full
of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that
payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Servicer will, within five (5) Business Days of the payment in full, notify the
Custodian by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to
the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall
request delivery to it of the Custodial File by submitting a Request for
Release, which Request for Release may be in an electronic format in a form
acceptable to the Custodian, to the Custodian. Upon receipt of such
certification and Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the
related Custodial File to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Insurance Policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon
request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release,
which Request for Release may be in an electronic format in a form acceptable to
the Custodian, release the related Custodial File to the Servicer, and the
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall
be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall
retain the Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Custodial File to the Custodian when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been
deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of
a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Custodian to the Servicer or its designee.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer copies of any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity, or shall exercise and deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize the Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf.
Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents
be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale.
Section 3.17 Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure
or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to
the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or a nominee thereof, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee or a nominee thereof is not
authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the
REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing
business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be
consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney
duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.
Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Trustee. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO
Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The
Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this
Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder.
(b) The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the
same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed
property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in
the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to
sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than
one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as
the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Securities
Administrator from time to time as to the status of each REO Property.
(c) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event
within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the
Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Trustee to such
effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such
REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing
sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report
monthly to the Trustee and Securities Administrator as to the progress being
made in selling such REO Property.
(d) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall deposit such funds in the
Collection Account.
(e) The Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to the Servicer
for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees
provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited, in no event more than one
(1) Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, in the Collection Account
all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of the REO Property.
(f) The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.
(g) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO
Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(h) The Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or
cause the Subservicer to sell, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no event later than the conclusion
of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by
Pooling Tier REMIC-1 unless (i) the Servicer applies for an extension of such
period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and
Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within
the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Servicer obtains for the Trustee
and Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Servicer and the Securities Administrator to the effect that
the holding by Pooling Tier REMIC-1 of such REO Property subsequent to such
period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of
relevant state laws at any time. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect
and operate each REO Property for the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the
Trust Fund solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner
which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by
the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure
property" which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such
REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for
the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any
rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as "rents
from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code.
Section 3.18 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Rate on
the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled Payment on the
related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the
requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. In
the event that an Index becomes unavailable or otherwise unpublished, the
Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index over which it has no direct
control and which is readily verifiable. The Servicer shall execute and deliver
any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate and Scheduled
Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor,
deliver to the Securities Administrator such notifications and any additional
applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and
implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer that the Servicer
has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate or Scheduled Payment in accordance with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused as such
interest loss occurs.
Section 3.19 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. In the event the Servicer reasonably believes that
compliance with this Section will make the Mortgage Loans legal for investment
by federally insured savings and loan associations, the Servicer shall provide,
or cause the Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC and the examiners and
supervisory agents thereof, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans in its possession required by applicable regulations of the OTS. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer
or, if applicable, any Subservicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from
the obligation of any such party to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such
party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to Be Held for the Securities Administrator. Not later than thirty days
after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Securities
Administrator a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of
the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the
calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period
covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals
from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section
3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such
statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate
additions and changes. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Securities Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified
to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator.
Section 3.21 Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Servicer shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, be
entitled to retain from deposits to the Collection Account and from Liquidation
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
REO Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee with respect to
each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Subservicer). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid
Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections and as otherwise permitted under
Section 3.11. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in
whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Subservicer
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, net Prepayment Interest Excesses (to
the extent not required to offset Prepayment Interest Shortfalls), NSF fees,
reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein. The Servicer shall also be entitled as additional servicing
compensation, to interest or other income earned on deposits in the Escrow
Account (to the extent permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan documents)
in accordance with Section 3.12.
(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of
premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to
Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not
retained by it and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any
agents appointed by the Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the Trust Fund except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.
Section 3.22 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer shall
deliver, and shall cause each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer to deliver or
cause to be delivered, an Officer's Certificate (as described below) to the
Securities Administrator on or before March 1st of each calendar year,
commencing in 2007 (the Securities Administrator shall deliver such Officer's
Certificate to the Depositor within one Business Day of Receipt), and the

(B) material breaches of any covenants under this Agreement of

(b) The Securities Administrator's responsibility for providing the
above statement to the Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Depositor
is limited, if applicable, to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the
information received from the Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall make
available the above statement via the Securities Administrator's internet
website. The Securities Administrator's website will initially be located at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx and assistance in using the website can be obtained by
calling the Securities Administrator's customer service desk at (000) 000 0000.
Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy
mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and
indicating such. The Securities Administrator may change the way the monthly
statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the
Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all
above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to access the
Securities Administrator's internet website, the Securities Administrator may
require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Securities
Administrator will not be liable for the dissemination of information in
accordance with this Agreement.
The Securities Administrator shall make available to each Analytics
Company via the Securities Administrator's internet website each statement to
Certificateholders prepared pursuant to this Section 4.03(a). The Securities
Administrator and the Servicer shall cooperate in good faith with the Depositor
to reconcile any discrepancies in such statements, and the Securities
Administrator shall provide any corrections to such statements to each Analytics
Company within ten Business Days of the related Distribution Date.
The Securities Administrator will also be entitled to rely on but
shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided
by third parties for purposes of preparing the monthly statement to
Certificateholders and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in
its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other
party hereto).
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be furnished to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a
statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of
this Section 4.03 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the
Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in
effect.
(d) Not later than three Business Days following the Determination
Date and in no event later than the 20th calendar day of each month, the
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor with respect to clause (i) below and the
Securities Administrator with respect to clause (ii) below, a monthly remittance
advice statement (the "Servicer Remittance Report") (in a format substantially
similar to that attached as Exhibit V to this Agreement) containing such
information as shall be reasonably requested (to the extent such information is
available to the Servicer), (i) by the Depositor or the Responsible Party to
enable the Depositor to disclose "static pool information", as required by Item
1105 of Regulation AB, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) by the
Securities Administrator to enable the Securities Administrator to provide the
reports required by Section 4.03(a) as to the accompanying remittance. The
Servicer shall concurrently deliver to the Depositor and the Responsible Party a
data tape, in a format substantially similar to that attached as Exhibit V to
this Agreement, containing the information required pursuant to this Section
4.03(d) on a loan-by-loan basis for all of the Mortgage Loans. Not later than
three Business Days following the Determination Date and in no event later than
the 20th calendar day of each month, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor
a default deport (the "Default Report").
The Servicer Remittance Report shall, at a minimum, document, on
such Determination Date, Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual
Mortgage Loan basis, as follows:
(i) with respect to each Scheduled Payment, the amount of such
remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any
Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any
Prepayment Charges, received during the related Prepayment Period along
with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts
remitted;
(ii) with respect to each Scheduled Payment, the amount of such
remittance allocable to interest;
(iii) the amount of Servicing Fees received by the Servicer during
the prior distribution period; and
(iv) the individual and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans.
The Default Report shall, at a minimum, document, on such
Determination Date, Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage
Loan basis, as follows:
(i) the aggregate expenses reimbursed to the Servicer during the
prior distribution period pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(ii) the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of
Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, 91 days or
more, and in such other periods and for such times as required by
Regulation AB; (b) as to which foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings of
the related mortgagor have commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has
been acquired.
(e) For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and reported by the Securities
Administrator, from information provided by the Servicer, based on the "OTS"
methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with
respect to a Scheduled Payment due on a Due Date if such Scheduled Payment is
not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due
Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to
such Scheduled Payment if such Scheduled Payment were not made by the close of
business on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby
represents and warrants to the Depositor that the Servicer is not subject to any
delinquency recognition policy established by the primary safety and soundness
regulator, if any, of the Servicer, that is more restrictive than the foregoing
delinquency recognition policy.
Section 4.04 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the
Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks
for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination
Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks
(after consultation with the Depositor). 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with
the Depositor). The Securities Administrator 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.
(i) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities
Administrator 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. The
Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to
obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic
mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this
Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and
each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities
Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator
to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof.
Section 4.06 Swap Account. On the Closing Date, the Securities
Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest
bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR Certificates
(the "Swap Account") as a part of the Trust Fund. The Swap Account shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without
limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this
Agreement.
On any Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap
Payments owed to the Swap Provider and Net Swap Receipts for that Distribution
Date will be deposited into the Swap Account. Funds in the Swap Account will be
distributed in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payments and
(y) any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination
Payment, to the Swap Provider, if any, owed for that Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Class A Certificates, to pay Accrued Certificate
Interest Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest
Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(i), to the extent unpaid from
Available Funds;
(iii) sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class
B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order, to
pay Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amounts and, if applicable,
any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(i) and (iii),
to the extent unpaid from Available Funds;
(iv) to the LIBOR Certificates, to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(P)-(Q), to the extent unpaid
from Available Funds (including Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the
Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(v) sequentially, to the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order,
to pay principal as described in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) or Section
4.02(a)(ii)(B), as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to restore
the Subordinated Amount at the Specified Subordinated Amount as a result
of current or prior Realized Losses not previously reimbursed, after
giving effect to payments and distributions from Available Funds;
(vi) sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class
B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order, to
pay any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(iii), to
the extent unpaid from Available Funds;
(vii) to the Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution Date; and
(viii) to the holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining
amounts.
Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Swap
Account shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
Section 4.06.
The Securities Administrator shall account for the Swap Account as
an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code
and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The
beneficial owners of the Swap Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For
federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments
payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Swap Account from
the Upper Tier REMIC, first, by the Holder of the Class X Certificates (in
respect of the Class IO Interest and, if applicable, Class X Interest) and
second, other than any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, by the Holders of the
applicable Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates (in respect of Class IO
Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.13.
Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication,
Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator to
the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap
Account shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator, for federal
income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest or the Class IO Interest,
respectively) and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates.
In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the rights of
Holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts
from the Swap Account (along with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts payable from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of
Holders of each such Class.
The Swap Account shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal
income tax purposes and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, the
Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Swap
Account for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income
earned thereon, and any amounts reimbursed from the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Swap
Account shall be treated as having been distributed to the Holders of the Class
X Certificates.
In the event the Swap Provider does not deliver the Delivery Amount
(as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) to the Securities
Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice of such failure
to the Swap Provider within one Business Day of such failure.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall
be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples
in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a
different amount) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the
Preliminary Statement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to
register the Class X and Class P Certificates in the name of the Depositor or
its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the Securities
Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Class X and Class
P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name or names as
the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and Class P Certificates
to the NIM Trustee or to such other Person or Persons as the Depositor shall
request.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator at least five Business
Days prior to 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 Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by 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 Securities
Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication 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 authenticated
by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities
Administrator 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 Securities
Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator's customary
procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective
registration statement, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely
solely upon a written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Neither the
Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to
register or cause the registration of any Certificates under the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities laws or to take any other action not
otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Certificate without registration. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the
Class X, Class P or Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM
Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P
Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a transfer of a Private
Certificate which is a Physical Certificate 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 shall certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts
surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the
"Transferor Certificate") and either (i) there shall be delivered to the
Securities Administrator a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit I (the
"Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event
that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate 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 will be deemed to have made
as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor
Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to
have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the
Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such
Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. As directed by the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Depositor and the Servicer shall cooperate
with the Securities Administrator in providing the Rule 144A information
referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Securities
Administrator such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
determine to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer 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.
Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or
Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM
Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM
Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Securities Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406
of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any
Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan
or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect
such transfer, or (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than
a Residual Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that 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 ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate
or Class P Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, 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
Securities Administrator and the Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be
an expense of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or the
Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to
those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
is not a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the
representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished,
such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities
Administrator by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance
of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate,
other than a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the
delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no
effect and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i)
above shall be void and of no effect.
None of the Class R or Class P Certificates may be sold to any
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section
4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any Similar Law or any Person investing
on behalf or with plan assets of such plan.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
As long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in effect, each
beneficial owner of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate, or
any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is
not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible
for the exemptive relief available under at least one of (i) Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 84-14 (for transactions by
independent "qualified professional asset managers"), (ii) PTCE 91-38 (for
transactions by bank collective investment funds), (iii) XXXX 00-0 (for
transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 95-60 (for
transactions by insurance company general accounts) or (iv) PTCE 96-23 (for
transactions effected by "in-house asset managers") or similar exemption under
similar law.
(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 Securities Administrator 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
Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be
delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above,
the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit
(a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G;
(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 a
Non-Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and
this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Securities Administrator shall
be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after
either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities
Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator
to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, 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 a Non-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 Securities Administrator of an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions
will not cause any Trust REMIC 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 Securities Administrator and 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 a
Non-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 a Non-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
Securities Administrator 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 Securities
Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y)
the Depositor notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue
the Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator
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 Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
provided, that the Securities Administrator 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.
(f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and
all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed
of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary practice. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Private Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Securities Administrator such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, the
Depositor, nor any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities
Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such
Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c)
provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to
transmit, or if the Depositor or Servicer shall request such information in
writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense
the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator
shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities
Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office
or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially
designates its offices located at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000. The Securities Administrator shall give prompt
written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any
such office or agency.

provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
make the covenant set forth in Section 6.02(b). As a condition to the succession
to the Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer

directors, officers, employees or agents 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

and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents 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,
its Affiliates, the Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers,

and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in

obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor
may in its discretion undertake any such action (or direct the Trustee to
undertake such actions pursuant to Section 2.03 for the benefit of the
Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of
the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Depositor for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of 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 Servicer
shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any

Section 6.02 and 7.01, the Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of
the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee or (i) upon the determination that
the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law
with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates,
the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type
and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the
date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee and (b) each
Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the
appointing of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of
such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates; provided, however,
that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such
successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall
have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such
resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to (i) above shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee
which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Depositor and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor shall have assumed in writing the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder.

the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the failure to deliver accurate and complete
information on a timely basis pursuant to Section 4.03(d)). The Servicer
immediately shall notify the Depositor, the Responsible Party and the Trustee if
a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Responsible
Party and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the
Responsible Party, the Depositor or the Trustee in respect of such claim.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Securities Administrator (unless the Servicer and Securities Administrator are
Affiliates), the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator (unless the Servicer and
Securities Administrator are Affiliates) or the Trustee and hold them harmless
against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other

herein, means any one of the following events:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Securities
Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon

Administrator, or to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights in the Certificates; or
(b) the failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for
a period of forty-five days (except that (x) such number of days shall be
fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy
required to be maintained under this Agreement and (y) such number of days shall
be ten in the case of a failure to observe or perform any of the obligations set
forth in Sections 3.02, 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12) after the earlier of (i) the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or by the Trustee, or to
the Servicer, the Depositor, by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights in the Certificates and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure
by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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 sixty consecutive days; or
(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability generally to
pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(f) any failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.01
which continues unremedied for one Business Day immediately following the
Remittance Date; or
(g) a breach of any representation and warranty of the Servicer
referred to in Section 2.03(a), which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period
of thirty days after the date upon which written notice of such breach is given
to the Servicer by the Trustee, by the Securities Administrator or by the

the Certificates; or
(h) any withdrawal or downgrade of two or more levels of Xxxxx
Fargo's servicer rating by any rating agency that results in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any class of the
certificates by any rating agency.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (h) of this
Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the
written direction of a majority of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
required to give written notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of
Default unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge of the occurrence of such an event. In the event that a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event of
default described in clause (f) of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall give
written notice by facsimile with confirmation by telephone to the Servicer of
the occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on
which such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence. On
and after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice by facsimile and
confirmation by telephone, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall, subject to
Section 7.02, pass to and be vested in the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.02, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. 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, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account,
or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior
to transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances.
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 3.24, 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 and provisions hereof and applicable law including the
obligation to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01.
It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a
period of transition before the transfer of servicing obligations is fully
effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will have a period (not to
exceed 90 days) to complete the transfer of all servicing data and correct or
manipulate such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise enable the Trustee
to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
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
Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder including, if
the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income
on investments or gain related to the Collection Account which the Servicer
would be entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has
become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
by applicable law from making P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to
Section 4.01, if it is otherwise unable to so act or at the written request of
Certificateholders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights,
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 make the covenant set forth in
Section 6.02(b). Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution 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 prior to 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 prior to such assignment and
delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject
to Section 3.24, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the Servicer from
investments. The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor to the Servicer shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay
in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or
any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or
records to it.
In the event that the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, the terminated Servicer shall provide notices to the Mortgagors, transfer
the Servicing Files to a successor Servicer and pay all of its own out-of-pocket
costs and expenses at its own expense. In addition, in the event that the
Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the terminated Servicer shall
pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of a servicing transfer
incurred by parties other than the terminated Servicer (including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time)
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the
Trustee or successor servicer to correct ay errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor servicer to
service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, but excluding set-up costs
and other administrative expenses of the successor Servicer, in which case the
successor Servicer shall pay for such costs and expenses but shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund), such an amount shall be
paid by the terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs. If the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer (except
in the case where the Trustee in its role as successor Servicer is being
terminated pursuant to Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused
solely by the Trustee as the successor Servicer and not by the predecessor
Servicer's actions or omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior
terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs. If the terminated Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such
costs and expenses, the same shall be paid by the successor Servicer, in which
case the successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the
Trust Fund.
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 Section 3.13.
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 each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice
of each such Event of Default, unless such event shall have been cured or
waived.
ARTICLE VIII
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 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.
Unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing:

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 believes 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;
(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 the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(d) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability
and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Servicer or the Securities Administrator.
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 from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or
parties;
(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 advice or 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 to do so by the Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each
Class of Certificates;
(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 the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys
appointed with due care by it 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 in its corporate capacity as
obligor of the investment security and with respect to the investment of funds
in the Distribution Account);
(h) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of an Event of Default, until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof; and
(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
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).
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, the Trustee shall be paid a fee by the
Securities Administrator. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless
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:
(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 (i) resulting from any breach of the
Servicer's obligations in connection with this Agreement for which the Servicer
has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05,
(ii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible Party's obligations in
connection with this Agreement for which the Responsible Party has performed its
obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03(h) or (iii)
incurred because of willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties 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 Trust Fund 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 or a separate letter
agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, 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 routine expenses incurred by
the Trustee; provided, however, no expense shall be reimbursed hereunder if it
would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
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 any 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 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.
If at any time 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, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall
be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and one copy to the
successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least a majority 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 and one complete set to the successor so appointed. 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 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.
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. In
connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be
appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor
of such succession or appointment and shall furnish to the Depositor in writing
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all
information reasonably necessary for the Securities Administrator to accurately
and timely report, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), the event under Item 6.02 of
Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act
are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).
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 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 Trust Fund, 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 and indemnity 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 any REMIC election 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
Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of
each Trust REMIC and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form
adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file 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 Trust REMIC
containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and
furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such
times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Securities
Administrator will apply for an employer identification number from the Internal
Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax
entities and shall also furnish to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or
as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and
telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact
for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information
as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or
times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each of Pooling Tier REMIC-1, Pooling Tier
REMIC-2, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC 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 calculation of any original
issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus
Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted
Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing
and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust
REMIC created hereunder;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each Trust REMIC before its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted
by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns
to be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such
returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(j) maintain records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, including
the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis
and on the accrual method of accounting and the adjusted basis of the assets
determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary
to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC, in each case,
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the
Securities Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder
for such purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such
Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions).
In such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and
appropriate, represent any Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial
proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any
Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving it.
The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class P
Certificateholders to receive Prepayment Charges, the rights of the Class X
Certificateholders to receive Interest Rate Cap Payments and amounts in the
Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account (subject, other than in the
case of the Class X Certificates, to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts) and
the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts as the
beneficial ownership of interests in a grantor trust, and not as an obligation
of any Trust REMIC created hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The
Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS together
with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or
cause to be furnished, to the Class P Certificateholders, the Class X
Certificateholders and the LIBOR Certificateholders, the respective amounts
described above that are received, in the time or times and in the manner
required by the Code.
To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under
this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator
within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Securities Administrator 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. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide
information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value to each Class
of Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts or, without
duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Swap Account. Unless
otherwise advised by the Depositor, for federal income tax purposes, the
Securities Administrator is hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the
right of each Holder allocating the purchase price of an initial Offered
Certificateholder between such right and the related Upper Tier Regular
Interest. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities
Administrator promptly upon written request therefor any additional information
or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably
request to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to
provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer is
required to provide to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.
The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator
arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that
result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph,
accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.
Neither the Servicer nor Securities Administrator shall (i) permit
the creation of any interests in any Trust REMIC other than the regular and
residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any
amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as
otherwise permitted by this Agreement) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or
intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail
to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger
the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a
tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax
on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a Trust REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or the tax on "net income from foreclosure property") unless the
Securities Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense,
and the Securities Administrator determines that taking such action is in the
best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of
the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust
Fund or any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the
Securities Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the
Trust Fund against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax).
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC 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 Trust REMIC 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 Securities Administrator if such
tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Securities Administrator in
the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, or (iii) in all other cases, or if the Securities Administrator
or the Servicer fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i) or
(ii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the

the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with
the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange Act. The Securities
Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D and
10-K and certain Form 8-K's (not to include any 8-K related to the filing of
this Agreement and any amendments thereto), required by the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in order to permit the
timely filing thereof, and the Securities Administrator shall file (via the
Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System, or XXXXX) such
Forms executed by the Depositor.
(b) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to
permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange
Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities
Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly
Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement
that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form 10-D Disclosure")
shall be prepared by the Securities Administrator at the direction of the
Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator
will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit P hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required
to provide to the Securities Administrator (by email at
xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx and facsimile at 410-715-2380) and the
Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form
10-D Disclosure, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as
otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and such
party, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure described
on Exhibit P applicable to such party (and shall include with such Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit W), and the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance,
or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in
connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D
pursuant to this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such
information provided to it in a Form 10-D prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for approval and
execution. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after
the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form

original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities
Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but not later than 1
Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator
will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form
10-D. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000,
or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written
notice to the Securities Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the
performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section
8.12(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent
upon the Servicer and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the
performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(b). The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator of
any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the "10-K
Filing Deadline"), commencing in March 2007, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as
required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following
items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities
Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i)

and each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and the Securities Administrator,

compliance with servicing criteria for the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function
Participant utilized by the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as

compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.23 identifies any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance, or such report on assessment of compliance with servicing
criteria described under Section 3.23 is not included as an exhibit to such Form
10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such
report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm
attestation report for the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, each
Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as described under
Section 3.23, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation
report described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of
noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any
such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an
exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an
explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with such changes as may be necessary or
appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission (the "Sarbanes
Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in
charge of securitization. Any disclosure or information in addition to (i)
through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be prepared by the Securities Administrator at the
direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the
Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit Q hereto, no later than March 1 of each year
that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing
in 2007, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the
Securities Administrator (by email at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx and
facsimile at 410-715-2380) and the Depositor, to the extent known by such
applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, in XXXXX-compatible
format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and such party (and shall include with such
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit W), the form and substance of the Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure described on Exhibit Q applicable to such party and the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The
Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. The
Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form 10-K prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for approval and
execution. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K
Filing Deadline, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a
Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing
with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K. The signing party at
the Depositor can be contacted at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, or such other address as
to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Securities
Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(c) related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer (and any
Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Servicer) and the
Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 8.12(c), Section 8.12(d), Section 3.22 and Section 3.23. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or
any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) In connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification,
the Securities Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit M, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a
result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates, and the Servicer shall
sign a certification solely with respect to the Servicer (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit N, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a
result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and their respective officers, directors
and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor no
later than March 10th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Sarbanes
Certification no later than the time set forth for the delivery to the
Securities Administrator of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to Section 8.12(c) for
such year. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March
of each year, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer has actual knowledge
of information material to the Sarbanes Certification, that party shall promptly
notify the Depositor and each of the other parties signing the certifications.
In addition, (i) the Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and the Sponsor and their officers, directors, employees, agents
and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the
Securities Administrator's obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or the
Securities Administrator's material misstatement, omission, negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Servicer shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon any breach of the Servicer's obligations under this
Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement, omission, negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless any indemnified party, then the Securities Administrator agrees in
connection with a breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under
this Section 8.12(d) or the Securities Administrator's material misstatement,
omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith
that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and the
Sponsor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Depositor and the Sponsor on the one hand and the
Securities Administrator on the other.
(e) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall promptly make available via the Securities Administrator's
internet website to the Depositor a copy of each such executed report, statement
or information.
(f) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of
this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are
required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. On or
prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is
able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a
copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension
Notification, if the number of Holders of the Offered Certificates of record
exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again
become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities
Administrator shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, 10-D
and 8-K as required pursuant to this Section 8.12 and the parties hereto shall
again have the obligations set forth in this Section 8.12.
(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to
timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form
8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement because
required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or
delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement,
the Securities Administrator will immediately notify the Depositor and the
Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor and Securities
Administrator will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25
and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the
Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will,
upon receipt of all disclosure information required to be included on Form
8-K and, upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such
disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D. In the event that
any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the party
to this Agreement deciding that an amendment to such Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K is required will notify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
and the Servicer and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary
Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to
Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The
Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(f) related to the
timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer and the
Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties under this Section 8.12 and Sections 3.22 and 3.23. The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K,
10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely
basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(g) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act,
provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a
Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K ("Form
8-K Disclosure Information") shall be prepared by the Securities Administrator
at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the
Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any
Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of
business on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event
certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor
and to the Securities Administrator (by email at
xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx and facsimile at 410-715-2380), to the
extent known by such applicable parties, any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor and such party, the form and substance
of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information described on Exhibit R applicable to such
party (and shall include with such Additional Form 8-K Disclosure, an Additional
Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit W), and the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may
be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The
Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Form
8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph. The
Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form 8-K prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall no
later than 12:00 noon on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event but in
no case without having had notice for 24 hours forward electronically a draft
copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. No later than 12:00 noon on
the 4th Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor
shall sign the Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form
8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Securities Administrator. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly after filing
with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K. The signing party at
the Depositor can be contacted at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (000) 000 0000, or such other address as
to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Securities
Administrator. The Depositor and Servicer acknowledge that the performance by
the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(g) related to
the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the Servicer
and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties under this Section 8.12(g). The Securities Administrator shall have no
liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to
any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such
failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy
or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein
provided by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) provided to the Securities Administrator in connection
with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.12,
or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to approve for filing any Forms 10-D, 10-K
and 8-K required to be prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Section 8.12, in either case, not resulting from the Securities Administrator's
own negligence, bad faith or misconduct.
(i) With respect to any notice required to be delivered by the
Securities Administrator to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8.12 of this
Agreement, the Securities Administrator may deliver such notice, notwithstanding
any contrary provision in Section 11.05, via facsimile to 000-000-0000 or
telephonically by calling the General Counsel at 212-412-4000.
Section 8.13 Tax Classification of the Excess Reserve Fund Account,
the Swap Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreements. For
federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall treat the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Account, the Cap Agreements and the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement as beneficially owned by the holders of the Class X Certificates
and shall treat such portion of the Trust Fund as a grantor trust, within the
meaning of subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. The Securities
Administrator shall treat the rights that each Class of LIBOR Certificates has
to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account and, to the extent not paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
from the Swap Account (including, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward
Amounts), as rights to receive payments under an interest rate cap contract
written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each such Class and
beneficially owned by each such Class through the grantor trust. Accordingly,
each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X, Class P and Class R
Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an Upper Tier REMIC Regular
Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, and the Class X
Certificates will be comprised of five components - two Upper Tier REMIC Regular
Interests (the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest), the Cap Agreements,
an interest in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to obligation to pay
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and ownership of the Swap Account and the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts (including, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward
Amounts). The Securities Administrator shall allocate the issue price for a
Class of Certificates among the respective components for purposes of
determining the issue price of each Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest component
based on information received from the Depositor.
Holders of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed
to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an
aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payments and Swap
Termination Payments (other than Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) over (ii)
the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest available for such payments
and amounts payable on the Class IO Interest (such excess, a "Class IO
Shortfall"), first from interest and then from principal distributable on the
LIBOR Certificates. A Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall
be allocated pro rata among such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of
interest otherwise payable to such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO
Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated in reverse
sequential order beginning with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates
then Outstanding.
Any payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax
purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR
Certificates in respect of the corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as
having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
through the Swap Account.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section 9.01 Duties of Securities Administrator. The Securities
Administrator shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.
The Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Securities Administrator that are specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such
instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements
of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall notify the
Certificateholders of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Securities
Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected
instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Securities Administrator shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Securities Administrator and the Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Securities Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination no
longer subject to appeal, that the Securities Administrator was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable with respect
to any action or inaction 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

available to the Securities Administrator, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Securities Administrator
under this Agreement; and
(iv) the Securities Administrator shall not be accountable, shall
have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of the Servicer or the Trustee.
The Securities Administrator shall be permitted to utilize one or
more Subcontractors for the performance of certain of its obligations under this
Agreement, provided that the Securities Administrator complies with Section
3.02(e) as if the Securities Administrator were a "Servicer" pursuant to that
Section. The Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Sponsor and
hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
in any way related to the failure of the Securities Administrator to perform any
of its obligations under Section 3.22 or Section 3.23, including without
limitation any failure by the Securities Administrator to identify pursuant to
Section 3.02(e) any Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Party. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Securities Administrator.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
(i) the Securities Administrator may request and conclusively rely
upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties and the Securities Administrator shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of
any such party or parties;
(ii) the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel,
financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel,
financial advisers or accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any

less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Securities Administrator, not reasonably assured to the
Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. Nothing in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation
of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors, provided that the Servicer shall
have no liability for disclosure required by this Agreement;
(v) the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or

(vi) the Securities Administrator shall not be required to risk or
expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the

or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Securities Administrator to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement;

incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Securities Administrator's duties hereunder or (iii)

direction of the Certificateholders, provided that any such loss, liability or
expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the

Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not
be an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the second preceding
sentence, the Securities Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all

after distribution of the proceeds thereof to the Certificateholders (other than
the Holders of the Class X, Class P and Residual Certificates) pursuant to
Section 9.02, the distribution of the remaining proceeds to the Class X and
Class P Certificates is sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of
and accrued and unpaid interest on the NIM Securities, to the extent the NIM

Class X Certificateholder remits to the Securities Administrator an amount that,
together with such remaining proceeds, will be sufficient to pay the outstanding
principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the NIM Securities, to
the extent the NIM Securities are then outstanding.
Section 10.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any
Remittance Date, the Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage
Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the
Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator

is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, the
Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the
Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business
Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final
distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with
respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for
Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Majority Class X
Certificateholder the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each
Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due to the Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereunder), 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, up to an amount equal to (i) as to each
Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the Certificate
Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X Certificates accrued
interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and all other
amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and (ii) as
to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in
the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the Notice of Final Distribution, the Securities Administrator
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 such second notice all the
applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year
after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements. In the event the
Majority Class X Certificateholder exercises its purchase option with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee have been supplied with an Opinion of
Counsel, at the expense of the Majority Class X Certificateholder, 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 Trust
REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding:
(a) The Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Majority Class X Certificateholder, and, within 90 days of
such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale
in complete liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs; and
(b) The Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the
final federal income tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day
liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold
the assets of the Trust Fund to the Majority Class X Certificateholder.

respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and
agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination
as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination
only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the
Depositor, the Responsible Party and the Securities Administrator also may at

this Agreement unless (i) it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the

requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall
furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to
each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

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 Securities Administrator may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Securities Administrator
or the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of

Section 11.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans by 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, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the 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 Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the
conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment
and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or

Agreement or the Trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or

created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and
unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any

common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 11.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 11.09 Inspection and Audit Rights. The Servicer agrees that,
on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator 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, the Securities Administrator 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 of the Servicer incident to the exercise by the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any right under this Section
11.09 shall be borne by the Servicer.
Section 11.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the
intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed
fully paid.
Section 11.11 Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, 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; provided, however, the Servicer is hereby
authorized to enter into an Advance Facility under which (1) the Servicer sells,
assigns or pledges to an Advancing Person the Servicer's rights under this
Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances ("Advance
Reimbursement Amounts") and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or
all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any
other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing
Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer's
behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this
Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such
Advance Facility.
Advance Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in
respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the
Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in
accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had made the related P&I
Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). The Trustee shall not have any duty or
liability with respect to the calculation of any Advance Reimbursement Amount.
The Trustee shall also not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement
Amounts to the related Advancing Person.
The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer
and (upon request) the Securities Administrator a detailed accounting on a
loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and
reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to
rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the
successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
An Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or
pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria
for qualification of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
Advance Reimbursement Amounts allocated to reimburse P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances made with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan shall be
allocated to the reimbursement of the xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or Servicing
Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to such Mortgage Loan on a
"first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis, such that the Advance Reimbursement
Amounts shall be applied to reimburse the P&I Advance or Servicing Advance (as
the case may be) for such Mortgage Loan that was disbursed earliest in time
first, and to reimburse the P&I Advance or Servicing Advance (as the case may
be) for such Mortgage Loan that was disbursed latest in time last. Liquidation
Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be
applied to reimburse Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to such
Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse P&I Advances outstanding with
respect to such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall provide to the related
Advancing Person, the Advance Facility trustee (or to any designee of either)
loan-by-loan information with respect to each Advance Reimbursement Amount
remitted to such Advancing Person, Advance Facility trustee or designee, to
enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each such Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to each
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be
reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund for any
loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing
Person.
Any amendment to this Section 11.11 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 11.11, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment has no
material adverse effect on the Certificateholders or written confirmation from
the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not adversely affect the ratings on
the Certificates. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney's fees)
of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne by the Servicer.
Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the Servicer shall
notify the Advancing Person in writing that (1) the Trustee and the Trust are
not obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the Advancing Person
and (2) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility between the Servicer and the Advancing
Person.
Section 11.12 Rule of Construction. Article and section headings are
for the convenience of the reader and shall not be considered in interpreting
this Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the intent of the parties hereto.
Section 11.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section 11.14 Rights of the Swap Provider. The Swap Provider shall
be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if
it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights under this
Agreement.
Section 11.15 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and, to
the extent practicable from a timing and information systems perspective and to
the extent the Depositor will pay any increased costs of the Trustee caused by
such request, agree to comply with all reasonable requests made by the Depositor
in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent
practicable from a timing and information systems perspective and to the extent
the Depositor will pay any increased costs of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator caused by such request, cooperate fully with the Depositor to
deliver to the Depositor (including its assignees or designees), any and all
statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information available
to such party and reasonably necessary in the good faith determination of the
Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, reasonably believed by the
Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

action on the part of Xxxxx Fargo the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, constitutes a

enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,

rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and
injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable
defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought.
(C) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Xxxxx Fargo, the

SCHEDULE III
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-WM1
Representations and Warranties of the Responsible Party
as to the Mortgage Loans
------------------------
The Responsible Party hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in this Schedule III as to the WMC Mortgage Loans only to
the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee, as of February 28, 2006 (the
"Securitization Closing Date") (unless otherwise expressly indicated).
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the WMC Purchase Agreement.
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. WMC Mortgage Corp. has delivered to
the Purchaser the Data Tape Information and that Data Tape Information and
the information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than
information regarding the Stated Principal Balances) are true and correct,
including, without limitation, the terms of the Prepayment Charges, if
any, as of the Closing Date. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer Date with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the information regarding the Stated
Principal Balances set forth on the Data Tape Information and the Mortgage
Loan Schedule are true and correct;
(b) Payments Current. As of January 3, 2006 (the "WMC Servicing
Transfer Date") all payments required to be made for the Mortgage Loan
under the terms of the Mortgage Note, other than payments not yet 30 days
delinquent, have been made and credited. No payment required under the
Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the
Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made
with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its related Due Date or within the
grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer Date,
there were no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and
all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and
municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.
WMC has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage
Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or
date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier,
to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer
Date, the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination
except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to
protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to
the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in
writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the
policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
if applicable. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer Date, no Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an
assumption agreement, approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the
Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as
the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or
in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense
has been asserted with respect thereto, subject to bankruptcy, equitable
principles and laws affecting creditor rights;
(f) Hazard Insurance. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer Date,
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements
upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Seller
in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines and which is rated B:III or
better in the current Best's Key Rating Guide ("Best's") against loss by
fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary
in the area where the Mortgaged Property is situated. If required by the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is
covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect
which policy conforms to the Underwriting Guidelines. All individual
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming WMC and its
successors and assigns as mortgagee, and as of the WMC Servicing Transfer
Date, all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer Date, where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,
provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy
covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common
facilities of a planned unit development. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer
Date, the hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and
effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. WMC has not engaged in,
and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or
omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits
of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect
of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission,
kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or
will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained
or realized by WMC;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory and
abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any provisions relating to the Illinois Interest Act and the
Prepayment Penalty, if any, applicable to such Mortgage Loan, have been
complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and WMC
shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's
inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of
compliance with all such requirements to the extent compliance therewith
can be demonstrated and if required by applicable law;
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer
Date, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been
released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission. WMC has not waived the performance by the
Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has WMC waived any
default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that
is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate or a
leasehold estate located in a jurisdiction in which the use of a leasehold
estate for residential properties is a widely accepted practice that
consists of one or more separate and complete tax parcels of real property
improved by a Residential Dwelling; provided, however, that any
condominium unit, planned unit development or residential cooperative
housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. In the
case of any Mortgaged Properties that are Manufactured Homes (a
"Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan"), (i) the related manufactured dwelling
is permanently affixed to the land, (ii) the related manufactured dwelling
and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the
appropriate public recording office and naming Seller (or the Mortgage
Loan originator) as mortgagee, (iii) the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located will deem
the manufactured dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part
of the real property on which such dwelling is located, and (iv) such
manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under Section
860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y)
secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family residence under
Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for
commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the
Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that
Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered
as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property
has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any
chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner
repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the Mortgaged
Properties are log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique
property types;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. As of the WMC Servicing Transfer
Date, the Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable, first lien (with
respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second
Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and
improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. As of the
WMC Servicing Transfer Date, the lien of the Mortgage is subject only to
(collectively, the "Permitted Exceptions"):
(i) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the first
mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet
due and payable;
(iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally
and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy
delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth
in such appraisal; and
(iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates
a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien (with respect to a First
Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first
priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with
respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described
therein and as of the WMC Original Sale Date, WMC had full right to sell
and assign the same to the Purchaser, subject to the Permitted Exceptions;
(k) Valid First or Second Priority Security Interest. As of the WMC
Servicing Transfer Date, with respect to any Co-op Loan, the related
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, and enforceable first priority security
interest (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority security
interest (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the related cooperative
shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the
related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments
representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related residential
cooperative housing corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage,
current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance
fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject
and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which
do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest
intended to be provided by the related Security Agreement;
(l) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. With respect to any
Second Lien Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which
the Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for
record a request for notice of any action by the related senior
lienholder, and WMC has notified the senior lienholder in writing of the
existence of the Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action
to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either (a) no
consent for the Second Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related
first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the

Prepayment Penalty, if any, applicable to the Mortgage Loan), except as
enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of
equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such
agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related

representations and warranties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, if
any error, omission or negligence in the origination of such Mortgage Loan
occurred despite Seller's conformance with its Underwriting Guidelines (as
in effect at the time such Mortgage Loan was made), then there shall be a
presumptive conclusion that there was no error, omission or negligence. In
addition, omissions relating to information required under certain loan
programs will not constitute omissions for purposes hereof. No fraud,
misrepresentation, or similar occurrence or, to Seller's knowledge, error,
omission, or negligence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on
the part of any Person (other than Seller), including without limitation,
the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party
involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for

original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a
Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of
negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to
the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (j)
of this Section 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans,

adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. As of the
WMC Servicing Transfer Date, where required by state law or regulation,
the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the

case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(x) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The

by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the Mortgaged Property is located;
(ff) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written
consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of WMC's knowledge,
such provision is enforceable, subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles
and laws affecting creditor rights;
(gg) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents do not allow an assumption of such
Mortgage Loan by any other party;
(hh) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by WMC, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of
the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it
contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown"
provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and

defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the
insured), irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In

into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost
credit product then offered by WMC;
(mmm) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective
mathematical principles which relate the related Mortgagor's income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting
methodology does not rely on the extent of the related Mortgagor's equity

credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time

reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;

Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium

cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance
policy (e.g., life, disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage
or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage
Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single
premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a
condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(ppp) Points and Fees. All points and fees related to each Mortgage
Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except (i) as set forth
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage
Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have
resulted in an unprofitable origination, no Mortgagor was charged "points

principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, such 5% limitation is calculated
in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set
forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides;

Representations and Warranties as to the Responsible Party
----------------------------------------------------------
WMC Mortgage Corp hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in this Schedule IV to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, as
of February 28, 2006 (the "Securitization Closing Date") (unless otherwise
expressly indicated). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
Schedule IV shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the WMC Purchase
Agreement.
(a) Due Organization and Authority. WMC is a corporation, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or formation and has all licenses necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good
standing in the states where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws
of such state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct
business of the type conducted by WMC. WMC has corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder; the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant
to this Agreement) by WMC and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized; this Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the valid, legal,
binding and enforceable obligation of WMC, except as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. All requisite
corporate action has been taken by WMC to make this Agreement valid and
binding upon WMC in accordance with its terms;
(b) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or
order is required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from
any court, governmental agency or body, or federal or state regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over WMC is required or, if required, such
consent, approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the
related Closing Date, be obtained;
(c) Ordinary Course of Business. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of
business of WMC, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by WMC pursuant to this Agreement are not
subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction;
(d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the acquisition or origination of the Mortgage Loans by WMC,
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of WMC's
charter, by-laws or other organizational documents or any legal
restriction or any agreement or instrument to which WMC is now a party or
by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration
under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree to which WMC or its property is
subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance that would have an adverse effect upon any of its properties
pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, contract, deed of trust or other
instrument, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the
Mortgage Loans, impair the value of the Mortgage Loans, or impair the
ability of the Purchaser to realize the full amount of any insurance
benefits accruing pursuant to this Agreement;
(e) No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to WMC's knowledge, threatened against WMC,
before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal asserting the
invalidity of this Agreement, seeking to prevent the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which, either in any
one instance or in the aggregate, would likely result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of WMC, or in any material impairment of the right or
ability of WMC to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or
in any material liability on the part of WMC, or which would draw into
question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any
action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of WMC
contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the
ability of WMC to perform under the terms of this Agreement;
(f) Ability to Perform; Solvency. WMC does not believe, nor does it
have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
covenant contained in this Agreement. WMC is solvent and the sale of the
Mortgage Loans will not cause WMC to become insolvent. The sale of the
Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or
defraud any of Seller's creditors;
(g) Seller's Origination. WMC's decision to originate any mortgage
loan or to deny any mortgage loan application is an independent decision
based upon the Underwriting Guidelines, and is in no way made as a result
of Purchaser's decision to purchase, or not to purchase, or the price
Purchaser may offer to pay for, any such mortgage loan, if originated;
(h) Anti-Money Laundering Laws. WMC has complied with all applicable
anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation
the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering
Laws"); WMC has established an anti-money laundering compliance program to
the extent required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the
requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each
Mortgage Loan to the extent required by and for purposes of the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the
applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the said
Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will
maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for
purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws;
(i) Financial Statements. WMC has delivered to the Purchaser
financial statements as to its last three complete fiscal years and any
later quarter ended more than 60 days prior to the execution of this
Agreement. All such financial statements fairly present the pertinent
results of operations and changes in financial position for each of such
periods and the financial position at the end of each such period of WMC
and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods
involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. In addition, WMC has
delivered information as to its loan gain and loss experience in respect
of foreclosures and its loan delinquency experience for the immediately
preceding three-year period, in each case with respect to mortgage loans
owned by it and such mortgage loans serviced for others during such
period, and all such information so delivered shall be true and correct in
all material respects. There has been no change in the business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of WMC since the
date of WMC's financial statements that would have a material adverse
effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. WMC
has completed any forms requested by the Purchaser in a timely manner and
in accordance with the provided instructions;
(j) Selection Process. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among
the outstanding one- to four-family mortgage loans in WMC's portfolio at
the related Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties
set forth in the WMC Purchase Agreement could be made and such selection
was not made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the
Purchaser;
(k) Delivery to the Custodian. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered
with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Custodial Agreement,
shall be delivered to the Custodian all in compliance with the specific
requirements of the Custodial Agreement. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan, WMC will be in possession of a complete Mortgage File in compliance
with the WMC Purchase Agreement, except for such documents as will be
delivered to the Custodian;
(l) Mortgage Loan Characteristics. The characteristics of the
related Mortgage Loan Package are as set forth on the description of the
pool characteristics for the applicable Mortgage Loan Package delivered
pursuant to the WMC Purchase Agreement on the related Closing Date in the
form attached as Exhibit B to each related Assignment and Conveyance
Agreement;
(m) No Untrue Information. Neither this Agreement nor any
information, statement, tape, diskette, report, form, or other document
furnished or to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby (including any Securitization Transfer or Whole Loan
Transfer) contains any untrue statement of fact;
(n) No Brokers. WMC has not dealt with any broker, investment
banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or
compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;
(o) Sale Treatment. WMC intends to reflect the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans as a sale on the books and records of WMC;
(p) Owner of Record. WMC is the owner of record of each Mortgage and
the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note, except for the
Assignments of Mortgage which have been sent for recording, and upon
recordation WMC will be the owner of record of each Mortgage and the
indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, WMC will retain the Mortgage Files with
respect thereto in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising
the servicing of each Mortgage Loan; and
(q) Reasonable Purchase Price. The consideration received by WMC
upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement constitutes fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Mortgage Loans.

In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry

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

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

shall be 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

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

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

exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the

RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
Securitized Asset Backed Receivables LLC Trust 2006-WM1,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-WM1
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the
proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Securitized
Asset Backed Receivables LLC, as depositor (the "Depositor"), WMC Mortgage
Corp., as responsible party (the "Responsible Party"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
National Association, as servicer (the "Servicer"), MortgageRamp, Inc., as loan
performance advisor, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as securities
administrator (the "Securities Administrator"), U.S. Bank National Association,
as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no
knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
Non-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 a Non-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 a
Non-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 and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a "Transferor
Certificate") to the effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no
actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a
Non-Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have
come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future. The
Transferee intends to pay all taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they
become due.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person as defined
in the Agreement.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect
to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
or any other U.S. Person.
12. Check the applicable paragraph:
|_| The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated
with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
|_| The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S.
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the
Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding
any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
|_| None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.

would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
(1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
(2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
(3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.
(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.
(d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
("X") will:--
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that
such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that
such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such
payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:--
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would
not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing
authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on
or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into
(regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax
Law.
(ii) Liability. If: --
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required
to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such
liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any
related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
(e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
o-f the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Representations
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into
and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the
termination of this Agreement) that:--
(a) Basic Representations.
(i) Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant
under such laws, in good standing;
(ii) Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other
documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to
deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this
Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
action to authorise such execution, delivery and performance;
(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance
do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of
its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other
agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any
contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to
have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in lull
force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been
complied with; and
(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid
and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general
application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is
continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its
entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened
against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in
equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or
any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a
party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such
Credit Support Document.
(d) Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is
furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified
for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the
information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.
(e) Payer Tax Representation. Each representation specified in the Schedule as
being made by it for the purpose of this Section 3(e) is accurate and true.
(f) Payee Tax Representations. Each representation specified in the Schedule as
being made by it for the purpose of this Section 3(f) is accurate and true.
4. Agreements
Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have
any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party:--
(a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in
certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing
authority as the other party reasonably directs:--
(i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in
the Schedule or any Confirmation;
(ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation;
and
(iii) upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document
that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow
such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under
this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such
deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion,
execution or submission of such form or document would not materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such
demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and
to be delivered with any reasonably required certification,
in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in
full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that
are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any that may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or an Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made
by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such
failure.
(e) Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon it or in respect of its execution or performance of this
Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organised, managed and
controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch or office
through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located ("Stamp
Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other party's
execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction
which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.
5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if
applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of
such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an
"Event of Default") with respect to such party:--
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any
payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform
any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment
under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give
notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party
in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or
before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such
party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be
complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit
Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable
grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or
the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full
force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case
other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction
of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which
such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of
the other party; or
(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,
repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the
validity of such Credit Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation
under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or
repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or
misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
been made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support
Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party
(1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation
of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that
Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event
of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in
respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them
(individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has
resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at
such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or
instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a
default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified
Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on
the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period);
(vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any applicable Specified Entity of such party:--
(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation,
amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay
its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to
pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment,
arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors;
(4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or
liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition
instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A)
results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an
order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or
liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or
restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or
presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its
winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant
to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes
subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional
liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets;
(7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all
its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration
or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or
substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains
possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed
or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or
is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any
of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9)
takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,
approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider
of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider
under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or
its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this
Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such
resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under
this Agreement.
(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the
event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii)
below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and,
if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event
is specified pursuant to (v) below:--
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court,
tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a
result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
will be the Affected Party): --
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect
of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision
of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to
perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such
Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document
relating to such Transaction;
(ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is
taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a
Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or
there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding
Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of
interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is
required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other
than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which
the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a
party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
(and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate,
will be the Affected Party); or
(v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence
of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties
shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the
Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an
Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event
of Default.
6. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under
Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected
Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the
Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to
designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all
reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days
after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations
under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of
its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject
to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party,
which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use
all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice
thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination
Event.
(iv) Right to Terminate. If: --
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to
all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party
gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event
Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a
Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is
only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other
party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing,
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount,
if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be
determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such
quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of
such quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule
of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method,
either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed
that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply.
The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
of Default: --
(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
number, the Non-Defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this
Agreement.
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is
a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting
Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an
amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in
respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the
Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event: --
(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount
payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if
Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies,
except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and
to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the
Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in
respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: --
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions,
and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of
the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the
Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal
to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the
lower Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if
it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
7. Transfer
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that: --
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. Contractual Currency
(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will
be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment
(the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and
in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual
Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable
in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional
amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the
shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.
(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.
(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.
(d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable
and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
10. Offices; Multibranch Parties
(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office
or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations
of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its
head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such
party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
written consent of the other party.
(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction
will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
11. Expenses
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of
any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
12. Notices
(a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this
Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or
other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile
transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in
accordance with the electronic messaging system details provided (see the
Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:--
(i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is
delivered;
(ii) if sent by telex, on the date the recipient's answerback is received;
(iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is
received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it
being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and
will not be met by a transmission report generated by the sender's
facsimile machine);
(iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the
equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered
or its delivery is attempted; or
(v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic
message is received,
unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or
attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local
Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and
effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.
(b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the
address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at
which notices or other communications are to be given to it.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.
(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to
this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:--
(i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement
is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if
this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New
York; and
(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of
venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that
such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further
waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such
court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed
by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Xxx 0000 or any modification, extension or
re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
(c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if
any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its
behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any party's
Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the
other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to
the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in
the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will
affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets
(irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of
sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any
court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for
recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after
judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its
revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts
of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its
total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number)
in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date
and not made, except so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(l) or (3) or
6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and

relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant
markets.
"Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with a respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after
that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would
be subject to such determination as such party and the Reference Market-maker
may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent)
will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent
reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different
time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be
obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after
consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the
Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard
to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining
after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more
than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such
quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it
will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
"Non-default Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if
it were to fund the relevant amount.

"Office" means a branch or office of a party, which may be such party's head or
home office.
"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.
"Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market
selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that
such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make
an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such
dealers having an office in the same city.
"Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in
which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered
to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for
purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this
Agreement and (d) its relation to any payment, from or through which such
payment is made.
"Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be
made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
"Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or

under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement,
another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed
on, such payer.
"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of: --
(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether
positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and
(b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any
Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.

"Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether
present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise)
in respect of borrowed money.

(including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered
into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such
party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to
this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap
transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity
option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option,
interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor
transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate
swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including
any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of
these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified
Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation.
"Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.
"Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or

tax.

before that Early Termination Date).
"Termination Currency" has the meaning specified in the Schedule.
"Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in
the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of
any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the
"Other Currency"), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the
party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such
amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if
the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of
a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal
to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided
below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at
or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is
located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate
for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early
Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only
one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in
good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.
"Termination Event" means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger
or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional
Termination Event.
"Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the
cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified

"Unpaid Amounts" owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination
Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the

Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and
(b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section
2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be
settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and
which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal
to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be
delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each ease
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the
currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or
obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to
(but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such
amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the
actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred
to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to
make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it
shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market
values reasonably determined by both parties.
