Class Principal Amount of the Notes as of such date. At all times during the
term of the Indenture and this Agreement, the holders of the Ownership
Certificate will be allocated [1]% of the voting rights for so long as the
Class
remains outstanding. The voting rights allocation to any Class of Notes or
the
Ownership Certificate will be allocated among all holders of each such Class
or
Ownership Certificate in proportion to their respective Note Principal Amounts
of such Notes or Percentage Interests of the Ownership Certificate.

shall be based on information provided by the Servicer. The Trust Administrator
shall not be required to recompute, verify or recalculate the information
supplied to it by the Servicer.
Section

CONVEYANCE
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
2.01. Creation
and Declaration of Trust Estate; Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Mortgage
Loans.
As of
the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer’s delivery of the Notes and the
Ownership Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby
transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuer,
without recourse, subject to Section 3.01, in trust, all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans. Such conveyance
includes, without limitation, the right to all payments of principal and
interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on and after the
Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before
such date), and all such payments due after such date but received prior to
such
date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such date
together with all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in any REO
Property and the proceeds thereof, the Depositor’s rights under any Insurance
Policies related to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor’s security interest in any
collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged
Properties and any proceeds of the foregoing, to have and to hold, in trust;
and
the Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in
Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture
Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Noteholders and for the
purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
and, concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the
Notes and the Ownership Certificate to or upon the order of the Depositor,
in
exchange for the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust
Estate.
Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby
assign to the Issuer all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement but without delegation of any of its obligations thereunder.
The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise
all
the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as if,
for such purpose, it were the Depositor. Upon the issuance of the Notes,
ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the
lien
created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit
of
the Noteholders. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit
and
conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption
by
the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any
other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth
herein.
The
Depositor further agrees to cause ________________________ to assign all of
its
right, title and interest in and to the interest rate corridor transaction
evidenced by each Confirmation to the Issuer, and all such right, title and
interest shall be deemed to have been assigned by ________________________
to
the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer.
(b) Subject
to the execution and delivery of the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement
as
provided by Section 2.01(d) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the
Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the
Issuer, without recourse, on each Subsequent Transfer Date, all the right,
title
and interest of the Depositor in and to the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans,
including all interest and principal received and receivable by the Depositor
on
or with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans after the related Subsequent
Cut-off Date (to the extent not applied in computing the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance thereof) or deposited into the Collection Account by the Servicer on
behalf of such Seller as part of any related Subsequent Deposit as provided
in
this Agreement, other than principal due on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans
on or
prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date and interest accruing prior to
the
related Subsequent Cut-off Date.
Immediately
upon the conveyance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans referred to in the
preceding paragraph, the Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee for benefit of the Noteholders and the [Class
AF-5B] Insurer, without recourse, all right title and interest in the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Depositor has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Issuer and has agreed to take the actions specified
herein.
(d) On
any
Business Day during the Funding Period designated by the [Depositor] to the
Issuer, the Depositor and trust Administrator shall complete, execute and
deliver a Subsequent Transfer Agreement. After the execution and delivery of
such Subsequent Transfer Agreement, on the Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trust
Administrator shall set aside in the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to
the
related Subsequent Transfer Date Purchase Amount.
(e) The
transfer of Subsequent Mortgage Loans on the Subsequent Transfer Date is subject
to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(1) the
Trust
Administrator will be provided Opinions of Counsel addressed to the Rating
Agencies as with respect to the sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans conveyed
on such Subsequent Transfer Date (such opinions being substantially similar
to
the opinions delivered on the Closing Date to the Rating Agencies with respect
to the sale of the Initial Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date), to be delivered
as provided in Section 2.01(f);
(2) the
execution and delivery of such Subsequent Transfer Agreement or conveyance
of
the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans does not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the any ratings assigned to the Notes by the Ratings Agencies
(without regard to the [Class AF-5B] Policy, in the case of the [Class AF-5B]
Notes);
(3) the
Depositor shall deliver to the Trust Administrator an Officer’s Certificate
confirming the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in this Section
2.01(e) required to be satisfied by such Subsequent Transfer Date;
(4) each
Subsequent Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date satisfies
the
representations and warranties applicable to it under this Agreement, provided,
however, that with respect to a breach of a representation and warranty with
respect to a Subsequent Mortgage Loan set forth in this clause (4), the
obligation under this Agreement of the applicable Seller, to cure, repurchase
or
replace such Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy against
such Seller respecting such breach available to Noteholders, the Depositor
or
the Trust Administrator;
(5) the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date were
selected in a manner reasonably believed not to be adverse to the interests
of
the Noteholders;
(6) no
Subsequent Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date was [30]
or
more days delinquent;
(7) following
the conveyance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans on such Subsequent Transfer
Date, the characteristics of each Pool will not vary by more than the amount
specified below (other than the percentage of Mortgage Loans secured by
Mortgaged Properties located in the State of California, which will not exceed
[50]% of the Mortgage Pool and the percentage of mortgage loans in the Credit
Grade Categories of “C” or below, which will not exceed [10]% of the Mortgage
Loans in each Pool) from the characteristics listed below; provided that for
the
purpose of making such calculations, the characteristics for any Initial
Mortgage Loan made will be taken as of the Initial Cut-off Date and the
characteristics for any Subsequent Mortgage Loans will be taken as of the
Subsequent Cut-off Date; and

The
Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify compliance with
these conditions, except for its own receipt of documents specified above,
and
shall be entitled to rely on the required Officer’s Certificate.
(f) Within
[six] Business Days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, upon (1) delivery
to
the Trustee by the Depositor of the Opinions of Counsel referred to in Section
2.01(e)(1) and (e)(8), (2) delivery to the Trustee by the [Depositor] (on behalf
of each Seller) of a Loan Number and Borrower Identification Mortgage Loan
Schedule reflecting the Subsequent Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Subsequent
Transfer Date and the Mortgage Pool into which each Subsequent Mortgage Loan
was
conveyed, (3) deposit in the Collection Account by the Servicer on behalf of
the
Sellers of the applicable Subsequent Deposit, and (4) delivery to the Trust
Administrator by the Depositor of an Officer’s Certificate confirming the

Transfer Amount from such funds that were set aside in the Pre-Funding Account
pursuant to Section 2.01(d). The positive difference, if any, between the
Subsequent Transfer Date Transfer Amount and the Subsequent Transfer Date
Purchase Amount shall be re-invested by the Trust Administrator in the
Pre-Funding Account.
The
Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify compliance
with
the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, except for its own receipt
of documents specified above, and shall be entitled to rely on the required
Officer’s Certificate.
Within
[thirty] days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Depositor shall deliver
to the Trustee a letter of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants stating whether or not the Subsequent Mortgage Loans conveyed on
such Subsequent Transfer Date conform to the characteristics described in
Section 2.01(e)(6) and (7).
(g) In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the
Indenture Trustee the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (each a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) in the form of
the
Form of Endorsement set forth in Exhibit A-4 hereto, or with respect to any
lost
Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit, in the form set forth in Exhibit
C hereto, stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced or
destroyed, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) the
original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note,
assigned to the Indenture Trustee;
(iii) the
original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney
has
been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
of
such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor to be a true and complete copy of the
original submitted for recording;
(iv) with
respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, an original Assignment of Mortgage,
in
form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned
either (A) in blank, without recourse, or (B) so long as
____________________________________ is the Indenture Trustee, to
“____________________________________, as Indenture Trustee of the ______
Mortgage Investment Trust 200_-__”, without recourse or (C) to the order of the
Indenture Trustee;
(v) an
original copy of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete
chain
of assignments or, in the case of an intervening assignment that has been lost,
a written Opinion of Counsel for the Seller that such original intervening
assignment is not required to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the
Mortgage Loans;
(vi) the
original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy (or, in lieu
thereof, a commitment to issue such title insurance policy, with an original
or
a certified copy of such title insurance policy to follow as soon after the
Closing Date as reasonably practicable) or attorney’s opinion of title and
abstract of title;
(vii) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any, or as to any such agreement which cannot be
delivered prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public
recording office where such assumption, modification or substitution agreement
has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such assumption, modification
or substitution agreement, pending delivery of the original thereof, together
with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such
assumption, modification or substitution agreement delivered to the Indenture
Trustee is a true copy and that the original of such agreement has been
forwarded to the public recording office; and
(viii) the
original of any security agreement or equivalent instrument executed in
connection with the Mortgage or as to any security agreement or equivalent
instrument that cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because
of a
delay caused by the public recording office where such document has been
delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such document, pending delivery of
the
original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor
certifying that the copy of such security agreement, chattel mortgage or their
equivalent delivered to the Indenture Trustee is a true copy and that the
original of such document has been forwarded to the public recording
office.
The
Depositor and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement
attached hereto as Exhibit A-4 is intended to effect the transfer to the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, of the Mortgage Notes
and
the Mortgages.
(h) Assignments
of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan shall be recorded;
provided,
however,
that
such Assignments need not be recorded if, on or prior to the Closing Date,
the
Seller delivers an Opinion of Counsel (which must be Independent counsel)
acceptable to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that recording in such states
is not required to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the related
Non-MERS Mortgage Loans.
(i) In
instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee under clause (b)(vi) above and is not so delivered, the Seller
will provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Indenture Trustee
as
promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, but in any
case
within [180] days of the Closing Date.
(j) For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in
connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.07 have been so deposited. All original
documents that are not delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be held by
the
Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders.
Section
2.02. Acceptance
of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Issuer acknowledges receipt of the assets
transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Estate and
has
directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Estate” be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee on its behalf.
The
Indenture Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by
it
of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Indenture Trustee under this
Section 2.02. The Indenture Trustee will execute and deliver to the Depositor
and the Servicer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1.
(b) Within
[45] days after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans
and
within [90] days after the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Indenture Trustee will, for the benefit of
Noteholders, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents
set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain
the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto,
and
shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer an Interim Certification in
the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage
Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid
in
full or any specifically identified in such certification as not covered by
such
certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b)
are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and
appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Indenture Trustee shall determine
whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty
or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding,
legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in
recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any responsibility for verifying
the
genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of
or
on behalf of any party or endorser or for the perfection or priority of any
document.
(c) If
in the
course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Indenture Trustee
discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
that
is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
as
applicable (each, a “Material Defect”), the Indenture Trustee discovering such
Material Defect shall identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect
relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor and the
Servicer. Within [90] days of its receipt of such notice, the Seller shall
be
required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Seller shall
provide the Indenture Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such
cure has been effected). If the Seller does not so cure such Material Defect,
if
a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if
such
Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Estate, constitute a Realized
Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure such
Material Defect, the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from
the
Trust Estate at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable
to
the failure of the Seller to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the
Seller acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not
have been incurred. The Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.03. The failure
of the Indenture Trustee to deliver the Interim Certification within [45] days
after the Closing Date or [90] days after the Subsequent transfer Date shall
not
affect or relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring
the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate.
(d) Within
[180] days following the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans
and within [180] days following the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to
the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor
and the Servicer a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit A-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession
or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Estate, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim
or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.
(f) For
purposes of the determinations required to be made by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 2.02, the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the diskette, tape or other
electronic media provided by or on behalf of the Seller with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as to whether (i) any guarantee was executed in connection with
any Mortgage Loan, (ii) any assumption, modification or substitution agreement
was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan, (iii) primary mortgage
guaranty insurance is required with respect to any Mortgage Loan or (iv) any
security agreement or equivalent instrument was executed in connection with
any
Mortgage Loan.
Section
2.03. Grant
Clause.
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage
Loans, as provided for in Section 2.01, be construed as a sale by the Depositor
to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for
the
benefit of the Noteholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance
be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer
to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However,
in the
event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or if
for
any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
the
Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, then it is intended that
(a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not
the
New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed
to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in
all
of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the
Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related
insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B)
all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from
or
relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance
Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection
Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property
and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of any security interest
in
any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title
thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and
to
the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the
possession by the Indenture Trustee or any other agent of the Issuer of Mortgage
Notes, and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such
secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
the
New York UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section
9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts
or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law.
(b) The
Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Issuer shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of
this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor
shall
prepare and file any UCC financing statements that are necessary to perfect
the
Indenture Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, as
evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, and furnish a copy of
each such filed financing statement to the Trust Administrator. The Trust
Administrator shall prepare and file, at the expense of the Issuer, all filings
necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under
the Relevant UCC to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in or lien
on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements,
and (y) to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
has
received written notice of such change or transfer, such other statements as
may
be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the
Issuer, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief
executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any
interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.
Neither
the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction
other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date
(whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an
additional jurisdiction) without giving [30] days’ prior written notice of such
action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee.
Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing
to
change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the
appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary
to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate
transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Indenture, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate or
mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing
statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements,
or any other statements or filings described in this Section
2.03(b).
(c) The
Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor
of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and shall
indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on
its
behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Issuer
is held by the Issuer. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any inquiries
from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other
property of the Trust Estate by stating that it is not the owner of such
Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of
the
Trust Estate is held by the Issuer on behalf of the Noteholders.
Section
2.04. Option
to Contribute Derivative Instrument.
At
any
time on or after the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the right to contribute
to, and deposit into, the Trust a derivative contract or comparable instrument
(a “Derivative Instrument”). The Derivative Instrument may have a notional
amount in excess of the sum of the beneficial interests in the Trust. Any such
instrument shall constitute a fully prepaid agreement. The Trust Administrator
shall have no tax reporting duties with respect to any such Derivative
Instrument.
ARTICLE
III

and Warranties of the Depositor and the Seller.

Seller as of the Closing Date or such other date as is specified,

Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor,
enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);
(ii) Immediately
prior to the transfer by the Depositor to the Trust Estate of each Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor had good and equitable title to each Mortgage Loan (insofar
as such title was conveyed to it by the Seller) subject to no prior lien, claim,
participation interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other
encumbrance or other interest of any nature;
(iii) As
of the
Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred all right, title and interest in
the

of Breach.
It is

Depositor set forth in Section 3.01(a), (ii) of the Seller set forth in Section
3.01(b) and (c) and (iii) of the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 of this

of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement. With respect to the representations
and
warranties which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the Trust Administrator, the Indenture
Trustee or the Servicer that the substance of such representation and warranty
is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of
the Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee
therein, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the
substance of such representation or warranty, remedies for breach will apply
to
such inaccuracy. Any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in
clauses (g), (ss), (tt) and (vv) of Schedule II of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of
the
Trust in that Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty. Upon discovery
by
any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Indenture
Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and warranties made by the
Seller that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the
other parties. Within [60] days of the discovery by the Seller of a breach
of
any representation or warranty given to the Indenture Trustee by the Seller
or
the Seller’s receipt of written notice of such a breach, the Seller shall either
(a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage
Loan
or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Indenture Trustee at the
Purchase Price or (c) substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the
affected Mortgage Loan.
Section
3.03. Repurchase,
Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section
3.02(b) of this Agreement, the principal portion of the funds in respect of
such
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and
the
Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Upon receipt by
the
Trust Administrator of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan and notification thereof has been made to the Indenture Trustee
the Indenture Trustee shall release or cause to be released and reassign to
the
Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the
Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title
to
any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all
security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement
and
the Indenture, which instruments shall be prepared by the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the
Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan:
(i) the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Indenture
Trustee the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing
the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification
certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting
language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Seller and the Depositor
will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to
the
related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of
any
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Indenture Trustee, at the
expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the
Servicer shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that
is
a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by
the
Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to
be
taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee (on behalf
of
the Issuer) to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan
on
the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of
its
assets are subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and
adversely affect the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement;
(iii) this
Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof
by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation
of
the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except
as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in
general, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

or
any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency
to the extent that any such default would materially and adversely affect its

Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or subject
to
any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction or any judgment,
order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and

Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution
of
this Agreement or the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under

Agreement;
(vi) no
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened
against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement

information about the Servicer under the heading “The Servicer” in the

which they were made not misleading.
(b) It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this
Section 4.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,

judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach
of
the Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.02. It
is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Servicer
set forth in this Section to indemnify the foregoing parties as provided in
this
Section constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 7.01)
of
such parties respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Servicer
as Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this Agreement.
Any
cause
of action against the Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of
any
representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon discovery
of such breach by the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust
Administrator or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall
not be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits).
Section

(a) The
Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Fidelity Bond and a Errors
and Omissions Insurance Policy, affording coverage with respect to all
directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on the Servicer’s
behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Servicer’s
obligations hereunder. The Servicer’s Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and
the Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be
consistent with coverage customarily maintained by servicers of mortgage loans
similar to the Mortgage Loans and shall by its terms not be cancelable without
[thirty] days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall
provide the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, upon request, with a copy
of
such policy and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall (i) require the Servicer
to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Fidelity Bond in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.03 of this Agreement, (ii)
cause the Servicer to provide to the Servicer certificates evidencing that

in clause (ii) to the Indenture Trustee upon request.
(b) The
Servicer shall promptly report to the Indenture Trustee and the Trust

Bond or the Servicer’s Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish

insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Servicer shall promptly
report to the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Administrator all cases of
embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the

report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Servicer
shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Indenture Trustee and the
Trust Administrator. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by
the
Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the
Servicer to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Collection

Section

each year this Agreement is in effect, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor

each
year, beginning May 31, 200_. Such financial statements shall include a balance
sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of additional
paid in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all related
notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally
recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements
were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding
year.
Section
4.05. Power
to Act; Procedures.
(a) Servicer
to Service.
The
Servicer, acting directly or through one or more sub-servicers as provided
in
this Section 4.05 shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans from and
after
the Closing Date and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to
do
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which
the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of
this
Agreement and with the Servicing Standard.
(b) The
Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices
the
interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders in any
Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under this Agreement and the Indenture.
The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in the same manner as it protects its
own
interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or
litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer in its own name is hereby authorized and empowered
by
the Indenture Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best
judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, the Trust Administrator, the Indenture
Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer, upon request, with any powers
of attorney (on the standard form used by the Indenture Trustee) empowering
the
Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or
of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise
liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court
action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance
with this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such
other documents as the Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder,
and to allow the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in each case in
accordance with the Servicing Standard (and the Indenture Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney
by the Servicer). If the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee has been advised
that
it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit
such action if taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee or that the Indenture
Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of
such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the
appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In no
event shall the Servicer, without the Indenture Trustee’s written consent: (i)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Indenture Trustee’s
name without indicating the Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any
action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Indenture
Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Servicer shall
indemnify the Indenture Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses
incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful
misuse of such powers of attorney by the Servicer. In the performance of its
duties hereunder, the Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall
not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Indenture
Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Indenture Trustee.
(c) In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ
procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises
in servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due
consideration to the Servicing Standard where such practices do not conflict
with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates
for
payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than [120] days;
provided, however,
that the
maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which
the
final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Servicer
shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.05 on the basis of the amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.
Such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence may be made if in the
Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. In the event of any such
modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on
any
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the
Servicer Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest
payment has been deferred, make an Advance in accordance with Section 5.05
in an amount equal to the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one
month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent
as for all other Advances made pursuant to Section 4.35. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or
of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
The
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer powers of attorney
(on the standard form used by the Indenture Trustee) and other documents,
furnished to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement; provided
that the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under
any
such powers of attorney.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall adhere to
the
Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the appointment of any sub-servicer pursuant
to Section 4.05, the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of all
of
the servicing obligations and responsibilities under this
Agreement.
(d) Servicer
Discretion.
In
managing the liquidation of defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will have
sole discretion, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to sell defaulted
Mortgage Loans; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices
the interests of the Noteholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and
interests of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under
this
Agreement.
(e) Collection
and Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.
Continuously from the Closing Date, until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases
to
be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect
all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become
due
and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow
Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the
installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges
as
and when they become due and payable.
The
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard
to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged
Properties 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 4.05(a). The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon
defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of
principal and interest by the Trust, 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, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the
restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i)
that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan to the Issuer after reimbursement to itself for such expenses,
and
(ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property. In the
event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not otherwise postponed,
deferred or waived pursuant to Section 4.09 is not paid when the same
becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any
other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues
beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as
(1)
shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard and (2) the Servicer shall
determine prudently to be in the best interest of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders. In the event that any payment due under any
Mortgage Loan is not otherwise postponed, deferred or waived pursuant to
Section 4.05(a) and remains delinquent for a period of [105] days or any
other default continues for a period of [105] days beyond the expiration of
any
grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in
any
such proceedings; provided,
however,
that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property,
as contemplated in Sections 4.08(i) and 4.09(j) or as otherwise provided in
Section 4.08(iii).
Notwithstanding
the generality of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall take such actions
generally in accordance with the Servicer’s established default timeline and in
accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to each Mortgage Loan and
Mortgagor for which there is a delinquency until such time as the related
Mortgagor is current with all payments due under the Mortgage Loan.
Section
4.06. [Reserved]
Section
4.07. Establishment
of and Deposits to Collection Account.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall open and shall thereafter maintain
a
segregated account held in trust in the name of the Securities Intermediary
(the
“Collection Account”), entitled “Collection Account,
_________________________________, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for Holders
of
the
[ ]
200__-[ ], Mortgage Backed Notes, Series 200_-__.” The
Collection Account shall relate solely to the Notes issued by the Issuer, and
funds deposited in the Collection Account shall not be commingled with any
other
monies.
(b) The
Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection
Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Trust Administrator shall
establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within [10]
days
and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing
Collection Account into such new Collection Account.
(c) The
Trust
Administrator shall give to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee prior written
notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the
Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection
Account. The Trust Administrator shall take such actions as are necessary to
cause the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such
account in the name of the Indenture Trustee. On each Payment Date, the entire
amount on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans
(subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 4.08), other than
amounts not included in Interest Remittance Amount or Principal Remittance
Amount to be paid to Noteholders for such Payment Date, shall be applied to
make
the requested payment of principal and/or interest on each class of
Notes.
The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and shall
deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis, but not more than [two]
Business Days after receipt by the Servicer and retain therein, the following
collections received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer after
the
related Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest
due on or before the related Cut-off Date), as applicable:
(1) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal
Prepayments and all Prepayment Premiums;
(2) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate;
(3) all
Liquidation Proceeds (net of Liquidation Expenses);
(4) all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 4.09(f) (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and
applied to the restoration and repair of the Mortgaged Property or released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.09(f));
(5) all
Condemnation Proceeds that are not applied to the restoration or repair of
the
Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section
4.09(i);
(6) with
respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest
Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of payment. Such deposit shall be made
from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum
amount per month in the aggregate of the Servicing Fee, actually received for
such month for the Mortgage Loans;
(7) all
Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.05;
(8) any
amounts received from the Seller, the Depositor or any other person giving
representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans, in connection
with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan;
(9) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.09(f)
in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance
policy;
(10) any
amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property or REO
Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.09(j); and
(11) any
other
amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to this
Agreement.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit into the Collection Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of the Servicing Fee, Prepayment
Interest Excess Amounts and Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the
Servicer into the Collection Account.
The
Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans,
or any funds that are deposited in any Collection Account or Escrow Account,
or
any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to or for the benefit
of the Indenture Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise
any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected
on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.
(d) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested by the Trust Administrator in Eligible
Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Trust Administrator,
which shall mature not later than [one] Business Day prior to the next Payment
Date (or on the Payment Date with respect to any Eligible Investment of the
Trust Administrator or any other fund managed or advised by it or any Affiliate)
and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
its
maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the
Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.
All income and gain realized from any Eligible Investment shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from
time to time, subject to Section 4.08 and shall not be part of the Trust Estate.
The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall
be
deposited in such Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds,
without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive,
it
being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments
in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental
fees
and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by the Servicer
in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional
servicing compensation. If the Servicer deposits in the Collection Account
any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from such Collection Account.
Section
4.08. Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
The
Trust Administrator may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made,
withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
reimburse the Servicer for any previously unreimbursed Advances or Servicing
Advances, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being
limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan
(including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
REO
Disposition Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect
to
the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries
(net of the applicable Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest
respecting which any such Advance was made, it being understood, in the case
of
any such reimbursement, that the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Noteholders;
(ii) to
reimburse the Servicer following a final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan for
any
previously unreimbursed Advances made by any such party (A) that such party
determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts representing
late
recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the particular
Mortgage Loan as to which such Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such unreimbursed
Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it
being
understood, in the case of each such reimbursement, that the Servicer’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Noteholders;
(iii) to
reimburse the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and
for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.09(i) in good faith in
connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that
Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate
for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt
of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to the Servicer out of such excess the
amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor
charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining
thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the
case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Servicer’s right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Noteholders;
(iv) to
pay to
the Depositor or the Seller or any other Person, as applicable, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not
paid
on the date on which the related repurchase was effected, and to pay to the
applicable party any Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent specified
in
the definition of Purchase Price;
(v) to
the
extent not paid by the Servicer, to pay any Insurance Premium with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan;
(vi) to
pay to
the Servicer income earned on the investment of funds on deposit in the
Collection Account;
(vii) on
each
Payment Date, to make payment to the Noteholders in the amounts and in the
manner provided for in Section 5.02 for the related Payment Date (to the extent
collected by the Servicer);
(viii) on
each
Payment Date, to make payment to the Ownership Certificate, all Prepayment
Premiums received during the immediately preceding Prepayment
Period;
(ix) to
make
payment to itself, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and
others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or
the
Indenture;
(x) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Article VIII; and
(xii) to
reimburse a successor servicer (solely in its capacity as successor servicer),
for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the Servicer, and the
assumption of such duties by the Indenture Trustee as successor servicer or
a
successor servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01,
in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, it being
understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right
of
the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights
of
the Noteholders.
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i) and (iv) above, the
Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections
or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall
therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan for
the
purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains
pursuant to such subclauses.
Section
4.09. Servicing
of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Establishment
of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to a
Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow
Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled
“_________________________ in trust for ____________________________________,
as
Indenture Trustee, for
[ ]
200__-[ ].” The Escrow Accounts shall be established with an
Eligible Institution. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a
Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. Funds
deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 4.09(b). The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced
by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto. A copy of such
certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the
Servicer.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis,
and
retain therein:
(i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement; and
(ii) all
amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are
to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.09(b).
The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest earnings paid on funds
deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than
interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To
the
extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to
the
Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing
or
the interest earnings paid thereon are insufficient for such
purposes.
(b) Permitted
Withdrawals from Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer
only:
(i) to
effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage
insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums
or
other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance of an Escrow Payment made
by
the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow
Payments thereunder;
(iii) to
refund
to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required to
be
escrowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to
the
extent permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Collection Account
and
application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
(v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance
with Section 4.09(i);
(vi) to
pay to
the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest
paid
on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; and
(vii) to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
The
Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts
and
will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to the Escrow Account in respect
of
its obligations under this 4.02(g), reimbursable from the Escrow Accounts or
Collection Account to the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor,
anything to the contrary notwithstanding, when and as necessary to avoid the
lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer
knows, or in servicing the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing
Standard should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such
payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with
respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will advance or cause to
be
advanced funds (which will constitute a Servicing Advance) necessary to
discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property in order to prevent loss of title
to the Mortgaged Property.
(c) Notification
of Adjustments.
On each
Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each
Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note and applicable regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver
the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable
regulations regarding interest rate adjustments. The Servicer also shall provide
timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data and information
regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of
implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer
or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly
adjusted a Mortgage Rate or a monthly payment pursuant to the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit
in
the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any loss caused thereby
without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be
liable with respect to any interest rate adjustments made by any servicer prior
to the Servicer.
(d) Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
(i) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become
a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance
coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of
such
charges (including renewal premiums) (“Property Charges”) and shall effect
payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing
for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall
have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for
such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. The Servicer shall
effect timely payment of all such charges (which will constitute Servicing
Advances) irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment
of the same or the making of the Escrow Payments if necessary to avoid a lien
or
loss on the Mortgaged Property.
(ii) To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect payment of all Property
Charges upon receipt of notice of any failure to pay on the part of the
Mortgagor, or at such other time as the Servicer determines to be in the best
interest of the Trust; provided,
that in
any event the Servicer shall pay such charges on or before any date by which
payment is necessary to preserve the lien status of the Mortgage. The Servicer
shall pay any late fee or penalty (which will constitute Servicing Advances)
which is payable due to any delay in payment of any Property Charge and
necessary to avoid a lien on or loss on Mortgage Property.
(e) Protection
of Accounts.
The
Servicer may transfer the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Institution
from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent
of the Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The
Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Indenture
Trustee if the Escrow Account is not an Eligible Accounts.
(f) Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
such that all buildings upon the related Mortgaged Property are insured by
a
generally acceptable insurer acceptable under the Servicing Standard against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon
and the good faith estimate of the Servicer of the related Liquidation Expenses
to be incurred in connection therewith and (b) an amount such that the proceeds
thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from
becoming a co-insurer. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require
any
Mortgagor to obtain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under
no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property
acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, 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
upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan the related Mortgaged Property was located
in
an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made
available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration shall be in effect with
a
generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable under the Servicing Standard
in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount
required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss
on a
replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement
cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and
pursuant to the Servicing Standard that a Mortgaged Property is located in
a
special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered
in
an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of
1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the
Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor
fails
to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within [thirty] days after
such
notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood
insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property such other
or
additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage
guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with the Servicing
Standard.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should
be
insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance
required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage, the Servicer shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with
respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention
the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.
All
policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and shall
be
endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which
shall provide for at least [30] days’ prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in amount or material change in coverage.
The
Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however,
that the
Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies
unless such companies are generally acceptable under the Servicing Standard.
The
Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage
and
amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe
the property address. The Servicer shall notify the Mortgagor of the expiration
of any such insurance and, prior to force placing any insurance, will permit
the
Mortgagor a grace period (not to exceed [60] days) to obtain renewal
coverage.
Pursuant
to Section 4.07, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired
in
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in
accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited
in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.08.
(g) Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring
against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage
on
all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage
in
an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.09(f) and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 4.09(f), it shall conclusively
be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.09(f).
Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Section 4.08. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case,
in
the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with Section 4.09(f), and there shall have been
a
loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit
in
the Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable
under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to
deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon
request of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered
to
such person a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the
insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without [30] days’ prior written notice to the Indenture
Trustee.
(h) Inspections.
The
Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary
by
the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being
preserved. In addition, the Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and/or
take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate in accordance with
the Servicing Standard or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty
insurer. The Servicer shall keep a written report of each such
inspection.
(i) Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Indenture Trustee prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor
to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release
is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. At a minimum, the Servicer shall
comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:
(i) the
Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion
of
repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
(ii) the
Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien
of
the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect
to
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens; and
(iii) pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
(j) Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In the
event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the Indenture Trustee or its nominee (which shall include the Servicer)
in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders, or in the event the Indenture
Trustee 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 (with
a
copy delivered to the Indenture Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to
practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or
Persons holding such title other than the Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge
in
writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Indenture
Trustee.
The
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the
Indenture 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders.
The
Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with
extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property and, to the extent
required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended, flood insurance in the amount required above, which may be in the
form
of a blanket policy. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy
relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.08. Such policy may contain a deductible
clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on
the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.09(f), and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
the
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account at the time of such loss the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause, such amount to deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without
reimbursement therefor.
The
proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the
Collection Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale
shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself pursuant to Section 4.08
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and
unreimbursed advances made pursuant to this Section or Section
5.05.
The
Servicer shall make Servicing Advances of all funds necessary for the proper
operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost
of
maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.09(f), such advances
to
be reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property
or pursuant to Section 4.08(iii). The Servicer shall make monthly remittances
on
each Servicer Remittance Date of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which
shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described
in
this Section 4.09(j) and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time
to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such
expenses).
(k) Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by
the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall
submit to the Indenture Trustee a monthly liquidation report with respect to
such Mortgaged Property.
(l) Reports
of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the
Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant
to
Section 6050J of the Code.
(m) Prepayment
Premiums.
The
Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Premium
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Premium and that
prepays during the term of the premium. If the Servicer or its designee fails
to
collect the Prepayment Premium upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that
contains a Prepayment Premium, the Servicer shall pay to the Trust Administrator
at such time (by deposit to the Collection Account) an amount equal to amount
of
the Prepayment Premium that was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the
Servicer or its designee may waive a Prepayment Premium without paying the
Issuer the amount of the Prepayment Premium if (i) the Mortgage Loan is in
default (defined as [61] days or more delinquent) and such waiver would maximize
recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) if the prepayment is not a result
of a refinancing by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and the Mortgage
Loan
is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total
proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the
related Mortgage Loan or (iii) the collection of the Prepayment Premium would
be
in violation of applicable federal, state or local laws or would be deemed
“predatory” thereunder.
(n) Compliance
with Safeguarding Customer Information Requirements.
The
Servicer has implemented and will maintain security measures designed to meet
the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for
Safeguarding Customer Information published in final form on February 1, 2001,
66 Fed. Reg. 8616, and the rules promulgated thereunder, as amended from time
to
time (the “Guidelines”).
(o) Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Servicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise
or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Servicer in respect of such
policies or bonds shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account upon
receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair
or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition requisite to
the
presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any
applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
(p) [Reserved].
(q) Due
Dates Other Than the First of the Month.
Mortgage Loans having Due Dates other than the first day of a month shall be
accounted for as described in this Section 4.09(q). Any Scheduled Payment due
on
a day other than the first day of each month shall be considered due on the
first day of the month following the month in which that payment is due as
if
such payment were due on the first day of that month. For example, a Scheduled
Payment due on August 15 shall be considered to be due on September 1. Any
Scheduled Payment due and collected on a Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date
shall be deposited in the Collection Account. For Mortgage Loans with Due Dates

Q (or
other applicable tax report or return) required to be filed by it.

The
Trust
Administrator will make such report and additional loan level information (and,
at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to the Rating Agencies and Noteholders
via the Trust Administrator’s website. The Trust Administrator’s website can be
accessed at ______________. Assistance in using the website can be obtained
by
calling the Trust Administrator’s customer service desk at ________________.
Such parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper
copy mailed to them via first class mail by notifying the Trust Administrator
at
____________________, ________________________ (or for overnight deliveries
at
_________________________), and indicating such. The Trust Administrator shall
have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to
make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above
parties and the Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate
notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.
The
foregoing information and reports shall be prepared and determined by the Trust
Administrator based solely on Mortgage Loan data provided to the Trust
Administrator by the Servicer (in a format agreed to by the Trust Administrator
and the Servicer) no later than the Payment Date. In preparing or furnishing
the
foregoing information, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the information or data
regarding the Mortgage Loans and the related REO Property that has been provided
to the Servicer, and neither the Trust Administrator nor the Servicer shall
be
obligated to verify, recompute, reconcile or recalculate any such information
or
data. The Trust Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall
be
entitled to conclusively rely on all of such data and information provided
to
the Servicer and shall have no liability for any errors in such data or
information.
(b) Upon
the
reasonable advance written request of any Noteholder that is a savings and
loan,
bank or insurance company, which request, if received by the Indenture Trustee
shall be forwarded promptly to the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator
shall provide, or cause to be provided (or, to the extent that such information
or documentation is not required to be provided by the Servicer, shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain such information and documentation from the
Servicer), to such Noteholder such reports and access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such Noteholder may reasonably
deem necessary to comply with applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision or its successor or other regulatory authorities with respect to
an
investment in the Notes; provided, however,
that the
Trust Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Noteholder for
actual expenses incurred in providing such reports and access.
(c) Within
[90] days, or such shorter period as may be required by statute or regulation,
after the end of each calendar year, the Trust Administrator shall have prepared
and shall make available to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year
was a Noteholder of record, and make available to Security Owners (identified
as
such by the Clearing Agency) in accordance with applicable regulations, a report
summarizing the items provided to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.11(a)
on
an annual basis as may be required to enable such Holders to prepare their
federal income tax returns; provided, however,
that
this Section 4.11(c) shall not be applicable where relevant reports or summaries
are required elsewhere in this Agreement. Such information shall include the
amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Notes and information
regarding the expenses of the Issuer. The Trust Administrator shall be deemed
to
have satisfied such requirement if it forwards such information in any other
format permitted by the Code. The Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator
with such information as is necessary for the Trust Administrator to prepare
such reports.
(d) The
Trust
Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required by the Code
and regulations thereunder to be made available to Noteholders. The Servicer
shall provide the Trust Administrator with such information as is necessary
for
the Trust Administrator to prepare such reports (and the Trust Administrator
may
rely solely upon such information).
Section
4.12. Transfers
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision
contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person
to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent
it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable
thereto; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing
so.
If
the
Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and
modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed
pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the
original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer
is
unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable
under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the seller
of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released
from liability and the buyer of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. In connection with any
such assumption, neither the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note,
the timing of principal or interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, the term
of
the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan
shall be changed.
To
the
extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire
diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall
use
the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee
which are used by the Servicer, its affiliates or Xxxxxx Xxx with respect to
underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the
credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria,
the
Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage
Loan.
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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by
law
from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section
4.13. Termination
for Cause.
Any
of
the following occurrences shall constitute an event of default (each, a
“Servicer Event of Default”) on the part of the Servicer:
(1) any
failure by the Servicer to remit any payment required to be made under the
terms
of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of [two] Business
Days
after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to
be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the [____];
or
(2) failure
by 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 (except with respect to a failure related to a Limited Exchange Act
Reporting Obligation) which continues unremedied for a period of [30] days
after
the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the [____]; provided that
the
[thirty-day] cure period shall not apply to the failure to comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 10.04, Section 4.28 (with respect to notice
to
the Depositor), Section 4.29 (with respect to notice to the Depositor) or
Article X, for which the grace period shall not exceed the lesser of 10 calendar
days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed
timely (without taking into account any extensions); or
(3) failure
by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business or service residential
mortgage loans in any jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Properties are located
except where the failure to so maintain such license does not have a material
adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to service the Mortgage Loans;
or
(4) 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,
readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of
its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of [60]
days;
or
(5) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(6) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
its
creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its normal
business operations for [three] Business Days; or
(7) the
Servicer ceases to be a FHA Approved Mortgagee; or
(8) the
Servicer attempts to assign the servicing of the Mortgage Loans or its right
to
servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer or attempts to assign this
Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties
hereunder or any portion thereof in a manner not permitted under this Agreement;
or
(9) the
net
worth of the Servicer shall be less than $[15,000,000]; or
(10) failure
by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its
obligations under Section 10.04 which failure continues unremedied for a period
of [7] days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the
[____].
In
the
event of a Servicer Event of Default related to the obligations set forth in
Section 10.04, Section 4.28 (with respect to notice to the Depositor), Section
4.29 (with respect to notice to the Depositor) and Article X, the Servicer
may
only be terminated at the direction of the Depositor.
Upon
receipt by the Servicer of such written termination notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer, under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in a successor servicer
appointed by [____], in accordance with Section [____]. Upon written
request from the [____], the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to
the
successor servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of
termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer’s sole
expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Seller, the Indenture Trustee
and
such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities
and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such
successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time
be credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer pursuant to subparagraph (2) if a failure of the Servicer to identify
a
Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions
of
such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage
Loans.
Section
4.14. Assumption
of Servicing by Indenture Trustee, Successor to Servicer.
(a) In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including
by
reason of any Servicer Event of Default under Section 7.01 of this Agreement),
the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations
of such Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee, its designee or any successor
servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed
all
of the Servicer’s interest herein, except that the Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations of the Servicer accruing prior to
its
replacement as Servicer, and shall be liable to the Indenture Trustee, and
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from and
against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee as a result of such liability
or obligations of the Servicer and in connection with the Indenture Trustee’s
assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or
liability of the Indenture Trustee are created or increased as a result of
negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Servicer prior to its replacement
as Servicer) of the Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities
thereunder.
(b) Any
successor servicer shall have the characteristics set forth in clauses (i)
and
(ii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.28 and shall succeed to all rights
and
assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer
under
this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor
to
the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Indenture Trustee. Any
approval of a successor servicer by the Indenture Trustee, shall, if the
successor servicer is not at that time a servicer of other Mortgage Loans for
the Trust, be conditioned upon the receipt by the Seller, the Indenture Trustee
and the Trust Administrator of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect
that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal
or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Notes. At least 15
calendar days prior to the effective date of any such appointment, (x) the
Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such
successor pursuant to this Section 4.14 and (y) such successor servicer
shall provide to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the
Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02
of
Form 8-K with respect to a successor servicer. In the event that the Servicer’s
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this
Agreement (including continuing to make Advances during such transition period
pursuant to Section 5.05) and shall take no action whatsoever that might
impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The
resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to
this
Section 4.14(a) and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 4.02 and the remedies
available to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller under Sections 4.14(b)
and 4.02(b) and (c), it being understood and agreed that the provisions of
such
Sections 4.14(b) and 4.02(b) and (c)] shall be applicable to the Servicer
notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the
termination of this Agreement. No successor servicer shall be responsible for
the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot otherwise obtain through
reasonable efforts.
Within
a
reasonable period of time, but in no event later than [30] days following the
appointment of a successor entity, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and
deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments,
place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes
of
such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer of any
Mortgage Notes and the related documents. The Servicer shall cooperate with
the
Indenture Trustee or the Seller, as applicable, and such successor in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the
transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor Servicer, including
without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it
of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Seller
an
instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make
the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.02(a) and provide for
the
same remedies set forth in such Section herein and (ii) an assumption of the
due
and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed and observed by the Servicer under this Agreement, whereupon such
successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect
as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or
resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 4.02, 4.28 and 4.13 shall not affect any claims that the Seller,
the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Administrator may have against the Servicer
arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The
Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the
Escrow Account(s) and all Mortgage Loan documents and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds
and
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor
all
such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities
of
the Servicer.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, it shall notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Seller and the Depositor of such
appointment.
(c) Costs.
The
Seller shall pay the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys. Costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the servicing
responsibilities, including fees for delivering Servicing Files, shall be paid
by (i) the terminated or resigning Servicer if such termination or resignation
is a result of an occurrence of a termination event under Section 4.02(b)
or 4.13, and (ii) to the extent not paid by such Servicer, and in all other
cases, by the Trust.
Section
4.15. [Reserved]
Section
4.16. Release
of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
(i)
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt
by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with
such payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account
maintained by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 4.07 have been or
will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request the Indenture Trustee
to deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release the
related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have
no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment
in full, the Servicer is authorized to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee,
as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an
instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument
of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared
and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer (in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary for the prosecution
of
any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer
and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control
to
the Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the
Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer
no
longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case,
upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove
specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to
the
Servicer.
Section
4.17. Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer To Be Held for Indenture
Trustee.
(a) The
Servicer shall transmit to the Indenture Trustee such documents and instruments
coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time as are required
by
the terms hereof to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee. Any funds received
by
the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected
by
the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders subject to the Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw amounts
provided in this Agreement and to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts
as
provided herein. The Servicer shall provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee, their
respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours, and to Noteholders that are savings and loan
associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision,
the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation
or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory
authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a
request the Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency
of
such information.
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee as the Indenture Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting
the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by relevant
Uniform Commercial Code or laws; provided, however,
that the
Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds
any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Trust Administrator
in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) The
Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from
the
Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Indenture Trustee shall
have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files
representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now
or
hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Servicer that are collected
by
the Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled
installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of
principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or
otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but
excluding any fee or other amounts to which the Servicer is entitled to
hereunder); and the Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are
assigned to and held by the Indenture Trustee, all documents or instruments
constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to
the
control of, the Servicer shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of
the
Indenture Trustee as the Indenture Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of
perfecting the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
Section
4.18. Opinion.
On or
before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Trust
Administrator one or more Opinions of Counsel, dated the Closing Date, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, as to the due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and
the
enforceability thereof.

4.20. [Reserved]
Section
4.21. [Reserved]
Section
4.22. Indenture
Trustee To Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
The
Indenture Trustee shall retain possession and custody of the originals of the
primary mortgage insurance policies or certificate of insurance if applicable
and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time
to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts payable in respect
of the Notes have been paid in full and the Servicer otherwise has fulfilled
its
obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall also retain
possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject
to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly deliver
or cause the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee, upon the execution
or
receipt thereof the originals of the primary mortgage insurance policies and

from, the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from
Liquidation Proceeds) of such Scheduled Payment collected by the Servicer,
or as
otherwise provided in Section 4.08(i). Additional servicing compensation in
the
form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Servicer and is not required
to be deposited in the Collection Account.
The

Shortfall Amount for the related Prepayment Period required to be deposited
in

shall be obligated to remit on each Servicer Remittance Date the aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, only up to an amount equal to in the
aggregate the Servicing Fee the Servicer is entitled to receive for such
Collection Period.] The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled
to
reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.]

shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 4.27 as a
result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 4.27.
Section
4.28. Merger
or Consolidation.
Any
Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation

Except
as otherwise provided in Sections 4.28 and this Section 4.29 hereof, the
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
unless it determines that the Servicer’s 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 and cannot be cured.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect
delivered to the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until (a) the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor servicer
shall have been appointed by the Indenture Trustee and until such successor
shall have assumed, the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement and (b) the Depositor shall have received the information described
in
the following sentence. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such
resignation, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such
resignation, the Servicer shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor

Section

or Delegation of Duties by the Servicer.
Except
as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any
of
its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate
to
or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any
of
the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder,
unless the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor shall have consented to such
action; provided, however,
that the
Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Depositor to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or
authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Servicer to perform and carry out
any
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Servicer
hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such delegation, subcontracting or
assignment to an Affiliate of the Servicer relieve the Servicer of any liability
hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the
Servicer to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. If, pursuant to any
provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor
servicer, the entire amount of compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant
hereto, including amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or withdrawn
by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.23 hereof, shall thereafter be payable to
such successor servicer.
Section
4.31. Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
(a) The
Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(b) No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Servicer from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its
own willful misconduct; provided, however,
that the
duties and obligations of the Servicer shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer 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 Servicer and, in absence of bad faith on the part of the Servicer,
the Servicer 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 Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement.
(c) Neither
the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the
Noteholders 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 Servicer or any such person against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad
faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless
disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer
and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer shall be entitled
to
indemnification by the Trust Estate and will be held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Operative Agreement other than any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of his or its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of his or its obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer
and any director, 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 be
under
no 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 that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability;
provided, however,
that the
Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders 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 Issuer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account it maintains as provided by Section 4.14.
Section
4.32. Indemnification;
Third Party Claims.
The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Servicer and hold them harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Servicer may sustain
as a result of the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service
the
Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall
immediately notify the Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect
to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Issuer,
the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Servicer to indemnification under
this Section 4.32, whereupon the Servicer shall assume 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 them in respect of such claim. The failure to provide such
immediate notice shall not affect the Servicer’s obligation pursuant to this
Section 4.32 to indemnify the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the
Owner Trustee and the Servicer, except to the extent that the Servicer is
materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.
Section
4.33. Alternative
Index.
In the
event that the Servicer notifies the Servicer in writing that the Index for
any
Mortgage Loan, as specified in the related Mortgage Note, becomes unavailable
for any reason, the Servicer shall select an alternative index in accordance
with the terms of such Mortgage Note or, if such Mortgage Note does not make
provision for the selection of an alternative index in such event, the Servicer
shall, subject to applicable law, select an alternative index based on
information comparable to that used in connection with the original Index and,
in either case, such alternative index shall thereafter be the Index for such
Mortgage Loan.
Section
4.34. Miscellaneous
Servicing Provisions.
(a) Protection
of Confidential Information.
The
Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without
the
Seller’s prior written consent, any nonpublic information pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans or any borrower thereunder, except to the extent that it is
appropriate for the Servicer to do so in working with legal counsel, special
servicers, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental
agencies.
(b) No
Personal Solicitation.
For as
long as the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans, it covenants that it will
not,
and that it will ensure that its affiliates and agents will not, directly
solicit or provide information for any other party to solicit for prepayment
or
refinancing of any of the Mortgage Loans by the related mortgagors. It is
understood that promotions undertaken by the Servicer which are directed to
the
general public at large, or certain segments thereof, shall not constitute
solicitation as that term is used in this Section 4.34(b).
(c) Intention
of the Parties.
It is
the intention of the Seller and the Servicer that the Seller is conveying,
and
the Servicer is receiving, only a contract for servicing the Mortgage Loans.
Accordingly, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Trust remains the sole
and
absolute owner of the Mortgage Loans (other than the servicing rights) and
all
rights related thereto, subject to the lien of the Indenture.

Upon
the termination of the Issuer or the discharge of the Indenture, the Indenture

of
the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole
signature authority with respect thereto;

sole
assets permitted in the Trust Account shall be those as the Securities
Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets; and

such
Trust Account Property that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be
physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited
to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible
institution maintaining the Trust Account in accordance with the Securities
Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or

Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary
or
such other institution has Control;
(c) The
Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) the Trust Account is an account

Property in respect of the Trust Account will be promptly credited by the

time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the
Indenture Trustee (or the Trust Administrator on its behalf) directing transfer
or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Trust Account, the
Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further
consent by the Depositor, the Issuer or any other Person. If at any time the
Indenture Trustee or the Trust Administrator notifies the Securities
Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated or the Indenture
discharged in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement or the Indenture,
as applicable, and the security interest granted pursuant to the Indenture
has
been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive
any
order from the Depositor or the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of
any
Financial Asset relating to the Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary
shall
comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture

the
event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement,
operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Trust Account or any
Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees
that
such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the
Indenture Trustee. The Financial Assets credited to the Trust Account will
not
be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of
any Person other than the Indenture Trustee (except that the Securities
Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary
fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust Account
and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to the Trust

until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Account,
and
in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of
this
Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified
the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and
(i) Notwithstanding
anything else contained herein, the Depositor and the Issuer agree that the

assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such account and all
investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable
account.

the foregoing, the Issuer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture
Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee,
to
instruct the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer to

withdrawals and payments from the Trust Account for the purpose of permitting
the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Owner Trustee to carry out its
respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out
its

filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation,
any
financing statements under the Relevant UCC or this Agreement) as may be
necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section in favor of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes,
terms and conditions of this Section. The Depositor shall:

If
a
Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section
7.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law,
so
long as any such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within
any period of time prescribed by this Section 7.01, the Indenture Trustee,
upon
obtaining actual knowledge thereof, by notice in writing to the Servicer may,
and shall, if so directed by the Majority Noteholders, terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof; provided that in the event of a Servicer Event
of Default related to the obligations set forth in Section 4.26(a), Section
4.14(b) (with respect to notice to the Depositor) or Article X, the Servicer
may
only be terminated at the direction of the Depositor. If a Servicer Event of
Default described in clause (x) of this Section 7.01 shall occur, then, in
each
and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by clause
(x) of this Section 7.01, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the
Servicer, shall promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
On
or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and
power of the Servicer, and only in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under the terms of
this Agreement; and the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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. The
defaulting Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting
the termination of the defaulting Servicer’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder as Servicer including, without limitation, providing the Indenture
Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable the Indenture Trustee or its designee
to
assume the defaulting Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the
Indenture Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the
time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Servicer in the
Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Servicer and any other account
or fund maintained with respect to the Notes or thereafter received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer being terminated shall bear all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs of a servicing transfer, including but not limited to those
of the Indenture Trustee, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial
consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.
In addition, if during the period that the Depositor is required to file
Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall fail
to
observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute a Limited Exchange
Act
Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth in Section 4.28(a), Section
4.14(a) or Section 10.01(a)(1) and (2), and such failure continues for the
lesser of [10] calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange
Act
Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), so
long
as such failure shall not have been remedied, the Trust Administrator shall,
but
only at the direction of the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Noteholder hereunder.
The Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations
of
the Servicer if a failure of the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB was the attributable solely to the role or functions of such
Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Servicer (or
by
the Trust Estate, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations
hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the
predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses
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
Indenture Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing
data
or otherwise to enable the Indenture Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans
properly and effectively. If the terminated Servicer does not pay such
reimbursement within [thirty] days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such
reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Estate and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in
the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.08(ix); provided
that the
terminated Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Estate for any such expense
incurred by the Trust Estate; and provided,
further,
that
the Indenture Trustee shall take such action, if any, as provided in the
Indenture and as directed by the Noteholders pursuant thereto with respect
to
pursuing any remedy against any party obligated to make such
reimbursement.
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Servicer, each terminated Servicer shall
continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section
4.08
to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Servicer’s
termination.
If
any
Servicer Event of Default shall occur, of which a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
notify each Rating Agency and the Depositor of the nature and extent of such
Servicer Event of Default. The Trust Administrator or the Servicer shall
immediately give written notice to the Indenture Trustee upon the Servicer’s
failure to remit Advances on the date specified herein.
In
the
event that the Indenture Trustee assumes the duties of the Servicer as set
forth
herein, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the Depositor in writing and in
form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
Servicer.
(b) On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or the Indenture Trustee receives the
resignation of the Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to
Section 4.29, the Indenture Trustee, unless another Servicer shall have been
appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances;
provided, however,
that any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s
failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be
considered a default by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the
Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination and shall have
no
liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer set
forth in Section 4.02. In the Indenture Trustee’s capacity as such successor,
the Indenture Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein
granted to the Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue
to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, Servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution
having a net worth of not less than $[15,000,000] and meeting such other
standards for a successor Servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the
successor to such Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of a Servicer, like the Servicer. Such successor Servicer
may be an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however,
that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for such Affiliate’s actions and
omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements
for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as
it
and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Servicer
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such actions,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to
be
conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Servicer shall
cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any successor Servicer in effecting
the
termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including,
without limitation, notifying the Servicer of the assignment of the servicing
functions and providing the Indenture Trustee and successor Servicer, as
applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions hereunder and
the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable,
all amounts or investment property which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account
or fund maintained with respect to the Notes or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any other
successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
any
failure to make, or any delay in making, any payment hereunder or any portion
thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay
in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Servicer
to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Servicer
to
deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Indenture Trustee as required by this
Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Servicer.
As
a
condition to any such succession, such successor Servicer shall provide to
the
Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
to
a successor Servicer.
Section
7.02. Additional
Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Servicer Event of Default.
During
the continuance of any Servicer Event of Default, so long as such Servicer
Event
of Default shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee, in addition
to
the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name
and
as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing
at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Noteholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative
and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and
each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and
no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right
or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Event of
Default.
Section
7.03. Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default or
Servicer Event of Default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the
Collection Account that would result in a failure of the Trust Administrator
or
the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of or interest on
the
Notes may only be waived with the consent of [100]% of the affected Noteholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Servicer Event of Default
related to the obligations set forth in Section 4.26, Section 4.14(b) (with
respect to notice to the Depositor) and Article X, only the Depositor may waive
such Servicer Event of Default. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default
shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section
7.04. Notification
to Holders.
Upon
termination of the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Servicer,
in
each case as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail notice
thereof by first class mail to the Noteholders at their respective addresses
appearing on the applicable Register. The Indenture Trustee shall also, within
[45] days after the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default known to the
Indenture Trustee, give written notice thereof to Noteholders, unless such
Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance
of such notice and within such [45] day period.
Section
7.05. Directions
by Noteholders and Duties of Indenture Trustee During Servicer Event of
Default.
During
the continuance of any Servicer Event of Default, the Majority Noteholders
may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement; provided, however,
that the
Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or
to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action
or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Servicer or any successor Servicer from its rights and duties as Servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, unless
such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided
further,
that,
the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel,
determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken
or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it
is
not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non
assenting Noteholders.
Section
7.06. Action
Upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and Upon Servicer Event of
Default.
In the
event that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the
Servicer that would become a Servicer Event of Default upon the Servicer’s
failure to remedy the same after notice, the Indenture Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the
Servicer.

Trustee]), on which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying
Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates
(collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification
Parties”)
can
reasonably rely. The senior officer in charge of the servicing function of
the
Servicer shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust Fund.
Neither the Servicer nor the Depositor will request delivery of a certification
under this clause unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to
file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund. In the event
that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the [Indenture Trustee] or the Depositor
has
actual knowledge of information material to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification,
the Trust Administrator, the Servicer, the [Indenture Trustee] or the Depositor,
as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Servicer and the Depositor. The
respective parties hereto agree to cooperate with all reasonable requests made
by any Certifying Person or Certification Party in connection with such Person’s
attempt to conduct any due diligence that such Person reasonably believes to
be
appropriate in order to allow it to deliver any Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification
or
portion thereof with respect to the Trust Fund.

1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
such Person and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto delivered to the
Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. To the extent
any
of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with respect to
asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Person
and
that are backed by the same asset type backing the Notes, such report shall
include such a statement to that effect. The Depositor and the Servicer, and
each of their respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely on
upon each such servicing criteria assessment.
(2) Each
of
the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the [Indenture Trustee] shall deliver
to the Depositor and the Servicer a report of a registered public accounting
firm reasonably acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on,
the
assessment of compliance made by the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
[Indenture Trustee], as applicable, and delivered pursuant to the preceding

2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
including, without limitation that in the event that an overall opinion cannot
be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report
why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available
for
general use and not contain restricted use language. To the extent any of the
Servicing Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with respect to
asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Person
and
that are backed by the same asset type backing the Notes, such report shall
include such a statement to that effect.
(3) The
Servicer shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the Depositor
an
assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as and when provided in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 10.07.
(4) Each
of
the Trust Administrator and the [Indenture Trustee] shall cause each Reporting
Subcontractor to deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer an assessment of
compliance and accountant’s attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a)
and (b) of this Section.
(5) The
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the [Indenture Trustee] shall execute
(and
the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the [Indenture Trustee] shall cause
each Reporting Subcontractor to execute) a reliance certificate to enable the
Certification Parties to rely upon each (i) annual compliance statement provided
pursuant to Section 4.26, (ii) annual report on assessments of compliance with
servicing criteria provided pursuant to this Section 10.07 and (iii)
accountant’s report provided pursuant to this Section 10.07 and shall include a
certification that each such annual compliance statement or report discloses
any
deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public accountants of
such
Person to enable such accountants to render the Notes provided for in this
Section 10.07. In the event the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or Reporting
Subcontractor is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement, such
Person shall provide a certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this
Section 10.07 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this
Agreement or provided services with respect to the Trust Fund, the Notes or
the
Mortgage Loans.
(b) An
assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section
10.07(a)(3) or (4) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria
other
than those specified by the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the [Indenture
Trustee], as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.07(a)(1).
Section
10.08. Use
of
Subcontractors.
(a) It
shall
not be necessary for the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the [Indenture
Trustee] to seek the consent of the Depositor or any other party hereto to
the
utilization of any Subcontractor. The Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the
[Indenture Trustee], as applicable, shall promptly upon request provide to
the
Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as the Servicer or
administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to
the
Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such
Person, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which
(if
any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within
the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the
Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided
by
each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this
paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting
Subcontractor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the [Indenture Trustee],
as applicable, shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such Person for the
benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 10.07 and
10.09 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the [Indenture Trustee], as applicable
(except with respect to the Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing and
filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person). The Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator or the [Indenture Trustee], as applicable, shall be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the
Depositor and the Servicer, any assessment of compliance and attestation
required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 10.07, in each
case
as and when required to be delivered.
Section
10.09. Amendments.
In
the
event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any
provision of this Article X this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the
new
agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article X pursuant to
Section 9.03, which amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or Rating
Agency confirmations or the consent of any Noteholder.
If,
during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports
with respect to the Trust Fund, the Servicer is no longer an Affiliate of the
Depositor, the Depositor shall assume the obligations and responsibilities
of
the Servicer in this Article [XI] with respect to the preparation and filing
of
the Exchange Act Reports and/or acting as the Certifying Person, if the
Depositor has received indemnity from such successor Servicer satisfactory
to
the Depositor, and such Servicer has agreed to provide a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification to the Depositor substantially in the form of Exhibit
K.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their names to be signed hereto
by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized as of the day and year
first above written.
