This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of August 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”),
among
GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”),
GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller
(the “Seller”),
XXXXX
FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such
capacity, the “Master
Servicer”)
and as
securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”),
XXXXXXX FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager (the “Credit
Risk Manager”)
and
DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee
and as a custodian (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
Through
this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the
HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2006-8 (the “Certificates”)
representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust
Fund,
the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined
below).
The
Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple
classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund. The Certificates will consist of fifteen classes
of
certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1A-1 Certificates, (ii) the Class
2A-1A Certificates, (iii) the Class 2A-1B Certificates, (iv) the Class 2A-1C
Certificates, (v) the Class B-1 Certificates, (vi) the Class B-2 Certificates,
(vii) Class B-3 Certificates, (viii) the Class B-4 Certificates, (ix) the Class
B-5 Certificates, (x) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-7
Certificates, (xii) the Class B-8 Certificates, (xiii) the Class C Certificates,
(xiv) the Class P Certificates and (xv) the Class R Certificates.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in
the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust and the Final Maturity
Reserve Account (the “Excluded
Trust Property”))
comprises two REMICs in a tiered REMIC structure—the “Lower-Tier
REMIC”
and
the
“Upper-Tier
REMIC.”
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R Certificate, shall represent ownership
of a
regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. The LIBOR
Certificates also
represent the right to receive (i) payments in respect of the Final Maturity
Reserve Account and (ii) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from
the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07. The owners of the Class
C
Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Final Maturity
Reserve Account and the Final Maturity Reserve Trust. The Class R Certificate
represents the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier
REMIC.
The
Lower-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets all of the assets constituting the
Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excluded Trust Property) and will issue interests
(the “Lower-Tier
Regular Interests”)
(which
will be uncertificated and will represent the regular interests in the
Lower-Tier REMIC) and a residual interest (the “Class LT-R Interest”) which will
also be uncertificated and which will represent the sole class of residual
interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC.
1
For
purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the startup day for the Lower-Tier REMIC
and
the Upper-Tier REMIC is the Closing Date. All REMIC regular and residual
interests created hereby will be retired on or before the Latest Possible
Maturity Date.

The
following table sets forth (or describes) the designation, interest rate, and

Interests):

The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
Accrual Period) for each of these Lower-Tier Regular Interests is
a per
annum rate equal to the Net WAC, provided, however, that for each
Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date in September
2016, the
Net WAC shall be computed for this purposes by reducing the Loan
Rate on
each Mortgage Loan by the Final Maturity Reserve Rate even if the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans with 40-year
original terms to maturity does not exceed balance ser forth in the
Final
Maturity Reserve Schedule for that Distribution Date.
|
(2)
|
The
LT-I Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance but has a notional amount as of any Distribution Date equal
to the
Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day
of the
related Due Period (or in the case of the first Distribution Date,
as of
the Cut-off Date). For any Distribution Date before the Distribution
Date
in August 2016, it shall bear interest for the related Accrual Period
at a
fixed rate of 0.00%, and for each Distribution Date on or after the
Distribution Date in September 2016 to and including the Final Maturity
Reserve Termination Date, it shall bear interest for the related
Accrual
Period at a fixed rate equal to the Final Maturity Reserve Rate.
|
(3)
|
The
LT-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.
|
2
On
each
Distribution Date, Available Funds shall be distributed in payment of principal
on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows:
(i)
|
concurrently
to the XX-0X-0, XX-0X-0X, XX-0X-0X, LT- 2A-1C, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0,
XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0 and LT-B-8 Interests until the principal
balance of each such Lower-Tier Regular Interest equals 50% of the
Class
Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately
after such Distribution Date;
|
(ii)
|
to
the LT-Q Interest until its principal balance equals the excess,
if any,
of (I) the aggregate Pool Balance immediately after such Distribution
Date
over (II) the aggregate of the principal balances of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests (other than the LT-Q and the LT-I Interests) after
taking into account distributions on such Distribution Date under
priority
(i) above; and
|
(iii)
|
finally,
to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, as distributions of interest
at the
interest rates shown in the table
above.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, after taking into account principal distributions under
priorities (i) and (ii) above, Realized Losses attributable to principal and
any
Net Deferred Interest shall each be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests in the same manner that principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier
Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, Prepayment Penalty Amounts shall be distributed to the LT-Q
Interest.
Upper-Tier
REMIC
The
following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Pass-Through
Rate and Original Class Principal Balance for each Class of Certificates, each
of which, except for the Class R Certificates, is hereby designated a REMIC

pursuant to the definition of “Pass-Through Rate.” For purposes of the
REMIC Provisions, the reference to the Net WAC Cap in the definition
of
Pass-Through Rate shall be deemed to be a reference to a per annum
rate
equal to the product of (i) the weighted average of the interest
rates on
the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-I Interest)
weighted on the basis of their principal balances as of the first
day of
the related Accrual Period) multiplied by (ii) the quotient of 30
divided
by the actual number of days in the accrual period. To the extent
the
Pass-Through Rate on any Class of Certificates exceeds such rate,
interest
distributions, to the extent of such excess, shall be deemed to have
been
made from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund.

The
Class C Interest shall have an initial principal balance of $9,540,646.
The Class C Interest also comprises a notional component having a
notional
amount that at all times will equal the aggregate of the principal
balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (i.e., the Pool Balance).
For
each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the notional
component shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess of (a)
(i) the
weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests
(other than the LT- I Interest), weighted on the basis of the principal
balance of each such Lower-Tier Interest, over (b) the Adjusted Lower-Tier
WAC. For any Distribution Date, interest that accrues on the notional
component of the Class C Interest shall be deferred to the extent
of any
increase in the Overcollateralized Amount on such date. Such deferred
interest shall not itself bear interest. In addition, any Net Deferred
Interest allocated to the Class C Certificate shall increase its
principal
balance. In addition to the rights set forth above, the Class C
Certificates shall also evidence ownership of the LT-I Interest in
the
Lower-Tier REMIC.

Class P
Certificate shall have an initial Class Principal Balance of $100.00.

of
the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean
of
the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple

that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in
New
York City, selected by the Securities Administrator (after consultation with

transfer of such Mortgage Loans to the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-8.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator are not responsible for monitoring any MERS Mortgage
Loans.
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, does
hereby deliver to the Trustee (or related Custodian) the related Cooperative
Loan Documents and the Seller shall take (or cause the applicable Servicer
to
take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor,
the
Trustee and the Master Servicer) such actions as are necessary under applicable
law (including but not limited to the relevant UCC) in order to perfect the
interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.
53
Assignments
of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded; provided,
however,
that
such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which
must
be from Independent Counsel and not at the expense of the Trust Fund or the
Trustee) acceptable to the Trustee, each Rating Agency, recording in such states
is not required to protect the Trust Fund’s interest in the related Mortgage
Loans; provided,
further,
notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of
Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (or the Seller will
cause the applicable Servicer to submit each such assignment for recording),
at
the cost and expense of the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense
to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (1) reasonable
direction by the Majority Certificateholders, (2) the occurrence of a bankruptcy
or insolvency relating to the Seller or the Depositor, or (3) with respect
to
any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to
the
preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no
event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused
by the applicable recording office), the Seller shall properly record (or the
Seller will cause the applicable Servicer to properly record), at the expense
of
the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master
Servicer), in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are
recorded, each assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v) above with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the
Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with
any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1
hereto.
If
the
original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vii) above, the Seller shall deliver or
cause
to be delivered to the Trustee the original or a copy of a written commitment
or
interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance
or
escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered
to
the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, but in any case within 175 days
of
the Closing Date. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents constituting a
part
of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold to the
Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, herewith delivers to any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, or to the
related Custodian on behalf of the 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 Distribution Account
have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund shall be held by the Master Servicer or
the
applicable Servicer in trust for the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust
Fund
and the Certificateholders.
54
The
Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement.
The
Depositor shall have the right to receive any and all loan-level information
regarding the characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans upon
request, and to publish, disseminate or otherwise utilize such information
in
its discretion, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
SECTION
2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The
Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as a Custodian hereunder and acknowledges
the receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review
described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described
in
the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above
and
all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that,
in its capacity as a Custodian, it holds and will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds
or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition
of
“Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review
each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor,
the Seller, any NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency an interim certification
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after
the
Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be reviewed by it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by
it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage
Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(i), (ii) and (xv) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information
set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Trustee is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
No
later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, any NIMS Insurer and the Seller a final certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the
case
may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document
or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not conforming
to the requirements set forth herein, at the conclusion of its review the
Trustee (or a Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the
Seller and the Depositor. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or
the
Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the
Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan
that materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this
Agreement.
55
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property
not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event
of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed
to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee
a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes
and
the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.
SECTION
2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originators and the
Seller.
(a) Upon
its
discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document
in,
or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the
related Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related
Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify such Originator of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that such Originator deliver
such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date
that
the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if
such
Originator does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce such
Originator’s obligation under the related Purchase Agreement and cause such
Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Repurchase Price (as defined in the related Purchase Agreement) on or prior
to
the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the related Originator to cure
or
to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against
such Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the
Trustee or any NIMS Insurer on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding paragraph, for any
Mortgage Loan originated by Washington Mutual, any enforcement of missing
Mortgage File documents or enforcement of representations and warranties for
Mortgage Loan originated by Washington Mutual shall be against the Seller and
not Washington Mutual.
(b) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not comply with
the
requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a document is missing from, a
Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty
or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or
Section 2.08 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee (or a Custodian as its designated agent) shall
promptly notify the Seller of such noncompliance, missing document or breach
and
request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance
or breach within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified of such
missing document, noncompliance or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver
such missing document or cure such noncompliance or breach in all material
respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller to repurchase
that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to
the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject
to
Section 2.03(e) below); provided,
however,
that, in
connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within
such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach
within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter
diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period
provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided
further,
that,
in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made
by
the Seller in Section 2.04 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to cure such
breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or, if
the
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto
has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any
excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon
such sale.
56
(c) The
Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (as defined in the related Purchase
Agreement) for a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased under this Section
2.03
or such other amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on
or
prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s or the related
Originator’s obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Trustee,
upon receipt of written certification from the Seller or the related Originator
of the related deposit in the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller
or the related Originator, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or the related
Originator, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File
(it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it
shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth
in Section 2.03(d) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the
Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as
to
which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists
or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute
the
sole remedy against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach
available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller
to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation
or
on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described
in
this Section 2.03(c).
57
(d) If
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the Seller repurchases or
otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take),
at
the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause MERS
to
execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller or
its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering
to
the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution; provided,
however,
that, in
the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect
to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof. The Trustee, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver
to
the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2,
with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of substitution,
the Trustee, shall deliver to the Seller and the Master Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month
of
substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect
the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in
the
Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall
give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust
Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and,
in
the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller
all
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section
2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.
58
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine, and
provide written certification to the Trustee and the Seller as to, the amount
(each, a “Substitution
Adjustment”),
if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
of
the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with
one
month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On
or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to
repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver
or
cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment,
if
any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and a written certification from the Seller of its remittance
of
the deposit to the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not cause
an Adverse REMIC Event.
If such
Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(g) Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within
two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In
connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier
of
discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage
Loan.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(b) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
(h) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loans originated by Washington Mutual)
constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the applicable
Originator under the applicable Purchase Agreement and (ii) a representation
or
warranty of the Seller under this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, in each case, which materially adversely affects the value of such
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee
shall first request that the Originator cure such breach or repurchase such
Mortgage Loan and if the Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase
such
Mortgage Loan within 60 days of receipt of such request from the Trustee, the
Trustee shall then request that the Seller cure such breach or repurchase such
Mortgage Loans. For any breach of any Mortgage Loan originated by Washington
Mutual of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge,
the
Trustee shall request that the Seller cure such breach or repurchase such
Mortgage Loans.
59

any
NIMS Insurer or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties incorporated in this Section 2.04.
62
SECTION
2.05. [Reserved].
SECTION
2.06. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
The
Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust Fund, any NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows:
(i) this
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,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general an 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 sale and assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf
of

are
no actions or proceedings against the Seller, or pending or, to its knowledge,

therein; the Seller will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor,
and
the Master Servicer of the existence of any lien on any Mortgage Loan
immediately upon discovery thereof, and the Seller will defend the right, title
and interest of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, in, to and under
the

the Seller; provided,
however,
that
nothing in this Section 2.09 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller
from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any liens for municipal
or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or
governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller
shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto.
The
Seller shall, within 30 days after the Closing Date, provide the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor a complete

AND MASTER SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS;
CREDIT
RISK MANAGER
SECTION
3.01. Master Servicer to Service and Administer the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the
Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have
full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary
or
desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided
to
the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform
and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Servicing Agreements or the
Credit Risk Management Agreements to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall
have no duty or obligation to enforce the Credit Risk Management Agreements
or
to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Servicers under the
related Credit Risk Management Agreements with respect to any action taken
or
not taken by the applicable Servicer at the direction of the Seller or pursuant
to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager. The Master Servicer shall
independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with
respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring
with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis
and
coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s
records, and provide such reconciled and corrected information to the Securities
Administrator to enable it to prepare the statements specified in Section 5.04
and any other information and statements required of the Securities
Administrator hereunder.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited
powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee,
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, which
limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee will not be liable
for
the actions or omissions of the Servicers or Master Servicer in exercising
such
powers.
The
Master Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating
the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the
intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered
to
do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for
any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney
by
the Master Servicer.
67
The
Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession
of
the Trustee (including in its capacity as a Custodian hereunder) regarding
the
related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request
and
during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that,
unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide
access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate
the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow
representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee’s actual costs.
The
Trustee, upon written request of the related Servicer or the Master Servicer,
as
applicable, shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master
Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents
necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to
a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against
any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency
judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
equity.
SECTION
3.02. REMIC-Related Covenants.
For
as
long as each REMIC created hereunder shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to treat each such REMIC as
a
REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any
directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to
assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall not (a) sell or knowingly permit
the
sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of
deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the
Mortgage Loans or is otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any
Servicing Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at
the
expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 or 2.04 of
this
Agreement or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement,
as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day
without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.
SECTION
3.03. Monitoring of Servicers.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee (on behalf
of
the Trust Fund) and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its
duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s
activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the
Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its
Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment,
determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing
Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement
with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute
grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor
and
the Trustee thereof, and with respect to the SRO Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall also notify the Servicing Rights Owner, and the Master Servicer shall
issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate with Section
3.03(b) or, with respect to the SRO Servicer, Section 3.03(f)
below.
68
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust Fund, any NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders, shall (acting as agent of the Trust Fund when enforcing
the
Trust Fund’s rights under each Servicing Agreement) (i) enforce the obligations
of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and (ii) in the event
that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer
selected by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer shall cause the
Trustee to acknowledge; provided,
however,
it is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be
fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing
Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer,
in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at
its own expense except as provided below, provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the
extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for
its
costs and expenses in pursuing such action from the Trust Fund.
(c) To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any
termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer
and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer
with
respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all
reasonable legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses
associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer
as a
result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all reasonable costs
and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all
servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise
to
enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the
terminated Servicer, or with respect to any terminated SRO Servicer, are not
fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated SRO Servicer (or, solely with
respect to a termination of any SRO Servicer without cause, the Servicing Rights
Owner), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
reasonable costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing
Agreement.
(e) If
the
Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the
representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer, if any, that it
replaces or for any errors, acts or omissions of such predecessor Servicer
occurring prior to the termination of such Servicer; provided,
however,
the
Master Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability, if any, as Master
Servicer under this Section 3.03(e).
69
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, upon the termination of the SRO Servicer for
any reason whatsoever, the Servicing Rights Owner, as owner of the related
Servicing Rights, shall at all times have the right to select a successor
Servicer acceptable to the Master Servicer, which the Master Servicer shall
appoint provided that such servicer is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and
that
such servicer will assume all of the obligations of the terminated Servicer
under the related Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty, and
shall
not be required, to review the terms of such assumption under the Servicing
Agreement.
(g) It
is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that, under the Servicing
Agreement, the SRO Servicer has the right to resign as a SRO Servicer under
the
related Servicing Agreement, provided
that
such resignation shall not become effective until (i) the Servicing Rights
Owner
has consented to such resignation, and (ii) a successor Servicer is appointed
which (a) is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and (b) which has assumed all
of
the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement. Any reasonable costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred
in
connection with such termination and transfer of servicing shall be paid by
the
Servicing Rights Owner.
(h) It
is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that under the Servicing
Agreement related to the SRO Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Rights Owner has
the
right to terminate the SRO Servicer, without cause, as provided and subject
to
the limitations of the Servicing Agreement; provided
that
such termination shall not become effective until a successor Servicer is
appointed which (a) is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and (b) which has
assumed all of the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related
Servicing Agreement. Any termination fees owed to the terminated SRO Servicer
and any reasonable costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in
connection with such termination and transfer of servicing shall be paid by
the
Servicing Rights Owner.
SECTION
3.04. Fidelity Bond.
(a) The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
The
Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer a copy of such
policy and fidelity bond upon request.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer any
material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer fidelity bond or the
Master Servicer errors and omissions insurance policy and shall furnish to
the
Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, on request, certificates evidencing that such
bond
and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall
promptly report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer all cases of embezzlement
or
fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total
losses relating to the Mortgage Loans, regardless of whether claims are filed
with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports
together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or
insurance claim report relating to the Mortgage Loans is filed with any of
such
bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a
copy
of such report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer. Any amounts relating to
the
Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy
shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities
Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account. Any amounts relating
to
the Mortgage Loans collected by the applicable Servicer under any such bond
or
policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement.
70
SECTION
3.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trust Fund and
the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii)
to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate, in its own name,
on
behalf the Trust Fund, or in the name of the Trust Fund, foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage
Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the
Servicing Agreements, as applicable; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under
Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally
take
any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably
within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein,
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be,
would result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has received
an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the
effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a
Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master
Servicer or any 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 the Servicing Agreements and this Agreement, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may
request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer
or
any Servicer). In instituting foreclosures or similar proceedings, the Master
Servicer shall institute such proceedings either in its own name on behalf
of
the Trust Fund or in the name of the Trust Fund (or cause a Servicer, pursuant
to the related Servicing Agreement, to institute such proceedings either in
the
name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust, or in the name of the Trust Fund),
unless otherwise required by law or otherwise appropriate. If the Master
Servicer or the 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 Trust Fund or the Trustee on its behalf or that the Trust Fund or the
Trustee, as applicable, would be adversely affected under the “doing business”
or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master
Servicer shall join with the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, in the
appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance
of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor
and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name
of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
Fund.
71
SECTION
3.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause
the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan
is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by
any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the
next
Distribution Date, the applicable Servicer will, if required under the related
Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the applicable Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
F hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer (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 related Servicing Account maintained by the applicable
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to
its
Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that
the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) deliver
to
the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
applicable Servicer and the Trustee (and the applicable Custodian, if
applicable) shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give,
as
agent for the 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 related Servicing Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan
and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall
execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by
a
Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee)
and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee
(or
the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), shall, upon the request
of
a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and upon delivery to the Trustee (or the
applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) of two copies of a request
for
release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit
F (or
in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature
on
its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage
File
held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master
Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master
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

the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), to the Servicer or the
Master Servicer.
72
SECTION
3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be
Held for Trust Fund.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by
the
related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee (or applicable
Custodian) such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof or, in the case of the Servicers, by the applicable Servicing Agreement,
to be delivered to the Trustee (or applicable Custodian). Any funds received
by
the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which
otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan
shall
be held for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, subject
to
the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account
the Master Servicing Fee, any additional compensation pursuant to Section 3.14
and any other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each
Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and any other amounts as provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to,
provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
to
the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, their agents and accountants at any time upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders
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 Master Servicer designated by it.
In
fulfilling such a request the Master 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
Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf
of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole
and exclusive property of the Trust Fund; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against,
and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the
Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable
Servicing Agreement.
73
SECTION
3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.
(a) For
each
Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreements to
maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and,
where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of
the
related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance
shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the
applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property
acquired in respect of a defaulted 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.
(b) Pursuant
to Sections 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by any Servicer or the Master
Servicer under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to
the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement)
shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Sections 4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its
obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan
where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however,
that
the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes
of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.02
and 4.03.
SECTION
3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders all claims under the
Insurance Policies 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 Master
Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in
respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in
the
Distribution 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 precedent 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).
SECTION
3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such
action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any
action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance
Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use
its
best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under
the
related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that
the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan (including any Lender-Paid
Primary Insurance Policy) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall
not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance
Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage
Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with
the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable.
74
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under
the
related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee, the Trust
and
the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by
the
Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be remitted to the
Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.03.
SECTION
3.12. Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
The
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain
possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary
Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable and available,
and
any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time
to
time as contemplated by this Agreement and which come into its possession.
Until
all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed
in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under
this Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the
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
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
(or the applicable Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution
or
receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Insurance Policies, any
certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute
portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.
SECTION
3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the
related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments,
all
in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
75
SECTION
3.14. Additional Compensation to the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee and,
pursuant to Section 4.02(c), certain income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of
the
Master Servicer as additional compensation. Servicing compensation in the form
of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise (but, unless otherwise specifically permitted in the applicable
Servicing Agreement, not including any Prepayment Penalty Amounts) shall be
retained by the applicable Servicer, or the Master Servicer, and shall not
be
deposited in the related Servicing Account or the Distribution
Account. The
Master 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. The amount of
the
aggregate compensation payable as set forth in this Section 3.14 plus the Master
Servicing Fee due to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date
shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.06.
SECTION
3.15. REO Property.
(a) In
the
event the Trust Fund (or the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust), acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the
deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust Fund, or if required under
applicable law, to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund.
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell any REO Property as
expeditiously as possible (and in no event later than three years after
acquisition) and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell
such
REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect
and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by
the
applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and
in a
manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”
or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related Servicing
Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the related
Servicing Account.
(c) The
Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final disposition of
any
REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees
from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition
of
such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances as well as
any
unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior
to
final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived
from such REO Property.
(d) To
the
extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds
from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master
Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in
the
related Servicing Account on or prior to the applicable Determination Date
in
the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Distribution Account on the next succeeding applicable Servicer Remittance
Date.
76

as a Custodian and GMAC Bank (as a Custodian), each at its own expense, shall
furnish, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it to furnish or otherwise make available, each at its own expense,

Servicer shall furnish copies of each such report received by it from the
Servicers to the Depositor), a report on an assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such party of
its
responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria,

fiscal year thereafter, whether or not a Form 10-K is required to be filed,
including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature
and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting
firm
has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with
the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.
(ii) No

to be filed, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, in its capacity as a Custodian
and GMAC Bank (as a Custodian), shall each forward to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the
report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function
Participant (provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer need not provide such information to the Securities
Administrator so long as the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator are
the same Person). When the Master Servicer, the Trustee, in its capacity as
a
Custodian, GMAC Bank (as a Custodian) and the Securities Administrator (or
any
Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their assessments to
the
Securities Administrator, such parties will also at such time include the
assessment (and attestation pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.16)
of
each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it.
(iii) Promptly
after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor
shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, in its capacity as a
Custodian, and GMAC Bank (as a Custodian) and any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of
noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and
(ii)
the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the assessments, taken as a
whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address
the
Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit R and on
any
similar exhibit set forth in each Servicing Agreement in respect of the related
Servicer and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
77
(iv) The
Master Servicer shall include all annual reports on assessment of compliance
received by it from each Servicer with its own assessment of compliance to
be
submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section.
(v) In
the
event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, in its
capacity as a Custodian, GMAC Bank (as a Custodian) or any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations
under or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other
applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a report
on
assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.16(a) or to such other
applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or
resignation.
(b) Attestation
Reports.
(i) By
March
10 (with a 5 calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing in March 2007,

as a Custodian and GMAC Bank (as a Custodian), each at its own expense, shall
cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting
firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
in its capacity as a Custodian, GMAC Bank (as a Custodian), the Securities
Administrator, or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may
be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants to furnish a report to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding
certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion
that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii)
on
the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing
an
opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an
overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria. 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.
(ii) Promptly
after receipt of each such assessment of compliance and attestation report
the
Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant
to subsection (a) of this Section 3.16 is coupled with an attestation meeting
the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any
exceptions.
78
(iii) The
Master Servicer shall include each such attestation furnished to it by the
Servicers with its own attestation to be submitted to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section.
(iv) In
the
event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, in its
capacity as a Custodian, GMAC Bank (as a Custodian), a Servicer or any Servicing

custodial agreement, servicing agreement or subservicing agreement, as the
case
may be, such party shall cause a registered public accounting firm to provide
an
attestation pursuant to this Section 3.16 notwithstanding any such termination,
assignment or resignation.
(v) The
Trustee’s and the Custodians’ obligation to provide assessments of compliance
and attestations under this Section 3.16 shall terminate upon the filing of
a
Form 15 suspension notice on behalf of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, after the occurrence of such event, and provided that the Depositor
is not otherwise provided with such reports or copies of such reports, the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall be obligated to provide
a
copy of such reports, by March 31 of each year, to the Depositor.
SECTION

signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the
preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under
this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing
Function Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to
the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable
agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, in all material
respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a
failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying
each
such failure known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof.
The
Master Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received
by it
from the Servicers with its own annual statement of compliance to be submitted
to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section.
In
the
event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to
the
terms of this Agreement, or any applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing
Function Participant, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Officer’s
Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.17 with respect to the period of time
it
was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case
may
be.

therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Securities Administrator
and
the Master Servicer shall provide, and each such party shall cause any Servicing

Fund is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise
within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each, a
“Back-Up

upon
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

can
reasonably rely. A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master
servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust.
Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at
xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by facsimile at 000-000-0000. In the
event any such party or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such
party
is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any
applicable subservicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide
a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 3.18
with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any
applicable subservicing agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not
be
required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the same

Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification in
the
event that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be
furnished to it pursuant to this section or any Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION

required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure”)
shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit O to the Securities
Administrator and Depositor and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant
to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty
or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional

10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit S hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution
Date, (i) the parties to the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-8 transaction
shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator, the Depositor
and
the Depositor’s counsel, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof,
in XXXXX-compatible form (which may be Word or Excel documents easily
convertible to XXXXX format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon
by
the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional
Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit U hereto (an “Additional
Disclosure Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and
substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Seller will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
in Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
80
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, no later than
10
calendar days after the Distribution Date, forward electronically a copy of
the
Form 10-D to the Depositor and its counsel. Within two Business Days after
receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th
calendar
day after the Distribution Date (or the next succeeding Business Day), the
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing of any changes
to
or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes
or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that
such
Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with
the
execution and filing of Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the
Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on
time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities
Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in subsection (d)(ii) of
this
Section 3.19. Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with
the
Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet
website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Securities
Administrator. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance
by
the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their respective duties
under this Section 3.19(a) related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section
3.19(a). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall
have
any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with
respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such
Form
10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability
or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(iv) Form
10-D
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to
such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required
reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such
filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after
the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-D if the answer to the questions should be “no.” The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or
filing any such report.
81

easily convertible to XXXXX format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance
of
any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional

Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Seller will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
in Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.
82
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall forward
electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and its counsel. Within
three Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March
25th,
the
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing of any changes
to
or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes
or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that
such
Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with
the
execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Master Servicer
in charge of the master servicing function shall sign each Form 10-K. If a
Form
10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be

the
Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage
or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare,
execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from
the
Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(iv) Form
10-K
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange

such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required
reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such
filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the

shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of
or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
such
Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s
inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any
other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
84

is

not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth
in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will

any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or
any
Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any amendment to such disclosure (other

respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any
such
Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such
failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to

hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form
12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its

an
Item 1122 Responsible Party. If the indemnification provided for herein is

payable by the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor,
as applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities

set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust Fund or
the
Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any

provided,
however,

any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
(b) The
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master

executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder.
(c) The
Master Servicer, the Trustee (in its individual corporate capacity and as

its
capacity as Custodian) and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodians shall be indemnified by the
Trust
Fund and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (except
as
otherwise provided herein with respect to expenses) (including reasonable legal
fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained
in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the
Certificates or the Servicing Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby (except, with respect to the Master Servicer, to the extent that
the

or gross negligence in the performance of its own duties hereunder or by reason
of reckless disregard of its own obligations and duties hereunder or under
a
custodial agreement.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this
Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided,
however,
the
Master Servicer may in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs
and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section
4.03.
Nothing in this Subsection 3.31(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation

liabilities.
(f) The
Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicers,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
SECTION
3.32. Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Except
as
provided in Section 3.34, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that
any
such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such
impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Independent Opinion
of Counsel (delivered at the expense of the Master Servicer) to such effect
delivered to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer. No such resignation by the Master
Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor to the Master
Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer shall
have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency
and any NIMS Insurer of the resignation of the Master Servicer.
If,
at
any time, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer resigns under this Section
3.28, or sells or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 3.30, or
is
removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, then at such time Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A. also shall resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as
Securities Administrator, Administrator, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar
under this Agreement. No such resignation by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as

Certificate Registrar reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Securities Administrator,

SECTION
3.33. Successor Master Servicer.
In
connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the
assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of
payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee and such successor master servicer
shall agree which in no case shall exceed the Master Servicing Fee. If the
successor master servicer does not agree that the proposed compensation is
fair,
such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market
compensation from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of
single-family mortgage loans;
provided,
however,
that
each Rating Agency shall confirm in writing that any appointment of a successor
Master Servicer (other than the Trustee) will not result in a downgrade in
the
then current rating of any Class of Certificates.
SECTION
3.34. Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing.
The
Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations in their entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement, with

Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement
from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency
shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor
to
the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s ratings of the Certificates in
effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be
downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and
delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling
the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Officer’s
Certificate and an Independent Opinion of Counsel, (delivered at the Master
Servicer’s expense) each stating that all conditions precedent to such action
under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and
complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation
shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective
date thereof.

the
extent that, following the Closing Date, the content of Forms 8-K, 10-D, 10-K,

each such Class, by Net Interest Shortfalls with respect to the related Loan
Group.
(d) Notwithstanding
the priorities and allocations set forth in Section 5.01(a) above, if on any
Distribution Date on which the Senior Certificates related to a Loan Group
constitute an Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise distributable
as
Available Funds on the Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority
(or, following the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, such other amounts
described in the immediately following sentence), will be distributed as
principal to the Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group in the
same order and priority and allocation provided in Section 5.01(a), first,
up
to the
sum of the Accrued Interest Amount and the Principal Deficiency Amount for
the
Undercollateralized Group (such distribution, an “Undercollateralization
Distribution”)
and
second,
to pay
to the Subordinate Certificates and the Residual Certificates in the same order
and priority as provided in Section 5.01(a)(1)(ii), (iii) and (iv). In the
event
that the Senior Certificates related to a Loan Group constitute an
Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from
any Available Funds from the Loan Group not related to an Undercollateralized
Group remaining after all required amounts have been distributed to the related
Class of Senior Certificates related to such other Loan Group.
Undercollateralization Distributions will be applied first
to pay
accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and second
to pay
principal in the same priority and allocation provided in Section
5.01(a).
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other
than

the
case of Certificateholders of the Physical Certificates, by check or money
order
mailed to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate
Register, or by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders of a
Class
shall be made in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the
Certificates of that Class held by such Certificateholders.
(f) Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts
of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution
to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Seller shall have any responsibility
therefor.

with
respect such losses related to Loan Group 2 Mortgage Loans, to the Class 2A-1A,
Class 2A-1B and Class 2A-1C Certificates, pro

(c) The
Class
Principal Balance of first, the Class C Certificates and second, the Class
of
Certificates then outstanding (other than the Class 1A-1 Certificates) with
the

by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances

portion of its Certificate to the Class C Certificateholder and as having
received the amount of the principal payment from the Class C Certificateholder
as the proceeds of the sale. The portion of the Certificate that is treated
as
having been sold shall equal the amount of the corresponding reduction in the
Class Principal Balance of such Certificate. Principal payments received from
the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall not be treated as distributions from
any
REMIC created hereby. All principal distributions from the Final Maturity

a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
(b) Except
as
provided in paragraph (c) or (d) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all
times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar except to another
Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect
to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such
Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates
on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established
by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary
fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Certificate
Registrar, any NIMS Insurer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall for all
purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners
of
such Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the
direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement
under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the
Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar and their respective agents, employees, officers
and
directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes
whatsoever.
114
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to
execute one or more Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such
other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry
Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of
any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
(c) If
(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Certificate Registrar or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Securities Administrator shall at the Seller’s expense execute on behalf of
the Trust and authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (the
“Definitive
Certificates”).
Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify any NIMS Insurer of the availability
of
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate, other
than a Private Certificate sold in an offshore transaction in reliance on
Regulation S, shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. Any Private
Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the 1933 Act shall be issued only in the form of one or more
Definitive Certificates and the records of the Certificate Registrar and DTC
or
its nominee shall be adjusted to reflect the transfer of such Definitive
Certificates. In the event of any transfer of any Private Certificate in the
form of a Definitive Certificate, (i) the transferee shall certify (A) such
transfer is made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in reliance upon Rule 144A
(as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar,
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act,
or
(B) such transfer is made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(c)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the 1933 Act (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered
to
the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
J-1, and, if so required by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, a
written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and
in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and
the
Depositor, delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor stating
that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, including a description
of
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being
made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer,
the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor) or (ii) the Certificate Registrar
shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate and the
transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable to and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar
certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding
such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust,
the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring
to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee,
the
Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Seller and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
115
In
the
case of a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes
of
the preceding paragraph, the representations set forth in the investment letter
in clause (i) shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar
by
the transferee’s acceptance of such Private Certificate that is also a
Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the
beneficial interest in such Certificate).
None
of
the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Private
Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller, the Securities Administrator,
the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result
if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received
either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and
the
Depositor (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s
receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the
form
of Exhibit I-1 or I-2, as applicable, hereto), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA
or a
plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”),
nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets
of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) if such Certificate
has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser
is
an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance
company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an
“insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE
95-60”)
and
that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections
I
and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, any NIMS Insurer, the Depositor or the Trust, addressed to the
Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything
else
to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate to an employee benefit
plan
subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the
Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect.
116
In
the
case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for
purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding
paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the
Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is also a Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a
Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in such Certificate).
No
transfer of an Offered Certificate prior to the termination of the Final
Maturity Reserve Trust shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have
received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate,
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I-2, to the effect that either
(i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any
such
Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the
acquisition and holding of the Offered Certificate are eligible for exemptive
relief under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under
Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or
PTCE 96-23. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an Offered Certificate prior to the termination of the Final
Maturity Reserve Trust to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the
Certificate Registrar of a representation letter as described above shall be
void and of no effect. If the Offered Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate,
the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in
clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
If
any
Offered Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation
of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an Offered
Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and
hold
harmless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar from and against any and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result
of such acquisition or holding.
117
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any Offered Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by
the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
none of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have
any
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Offered
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d) or for the
Paying Agent making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate
Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. In addition, none
of
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall be required to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions
with respect to any Offered Certificate in the form of a Book-Entry Certificate,
and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have
any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates or any interests therein
made in violation of the restrictions on transfer described in the Prospectus
Supplement and this Agreement.
(e) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate
the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee who acquires such Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate for its own account and not in the capacity as trustee,
nominee or agent for another Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as
such a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date and no Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate may thereafter be
transferred, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register the Transfer
of a
Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be
delivered under subsection (d) above, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (“Transfer
Affidavit”)
of the
initial owner of such Residual Certificate or proposed transferee of the
Residual Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.
118
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition
to
registration of the transfer, require delivery to them of a Transferor
Certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferor to
the
effect that the transferor (a) has no knowledge the proposed Transferee is
not a
Permitted Transferee acquiring an Ownership Interest in such Residual
Certificate for its own account and not in a capacity as trustee, nominee,
or
agent for another Person, and (b) has not undertaken the proposed transfer
in
whole or in part to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of such Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that
the registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor
shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of
a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for the
Paying Agent making any distributions due on the Residual Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder win the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of such Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate.
Any
such distributions so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be
distributed and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the last Holder of
such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in
the
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without
notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having
an
Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale
of
such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which
may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection
with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Certificate Registrar to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that
is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Certificate
Registrar determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable
for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Certificate Registrar may withhold a corresponding amount from such
remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale
under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar and they shall not be liable to any Person having
an Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise
of such discretion.
(vi) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in
the
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide
to
the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections
860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed
under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
disqualified organizations.
119
The
foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring
on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Certificate
Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar,
(i)
written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its ratings of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause the REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(f) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Restricted Global Security
or
Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates
remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers
of
a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable,
representing the Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in
accordance with Section 6.01 and this Section 6.02(f).
(i) Subject
to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.02(f), transfers of a Restricted
Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing
the
Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such a Restricted Global Security
or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in whole, but not in part,
to
nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such
successor’s nominee.
(ii) Restricted
Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited with
or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest
in
such Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global
Security, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to
a
Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a
Regulation S Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S.
Person, may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange
or
cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in
the
Regulation S Global Security. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of
(A)
instructions from the Depository directing the Certificate Registrar to cause
to
be credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be
exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such
Certificateholders’ held through a Regulation S Global Security, (B) a written
order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing
information regarding the participant account of the Depository and, in the
case
of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear
or
Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (C) a certificate
in
the form of Exhibit J-1 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest
stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in
compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Securities,
including that the holder is not a U.S. Person and pursuant to and in accordance
with Regulation S, the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the principal amount
of the Restricted Global Security and increase the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged, and shall instruct
Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently with such reduction,
to
credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal
to
the reduction in the principal amount of the Restricted Global
Security.
120
(iii) Regulation
S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited
with
or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to transfer its interest
in
such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder
may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause
the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of (A)
instructions from the Depository directing the Certificate Registrar to cause
to
be credited a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be
exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such
Certificateholder’s Certificates held through a Restricted Global Security, to
be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant
account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, and (B) a
certificate in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto given by the holder of such
beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that the Person
transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security reasonably
believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Restricted Global Security
is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A, is obtaining
such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule
144A
and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United
States or any other jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar will reduce
the
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal
amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount
of
the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred
and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with
such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S
Global Security.
(iv) Other
Exchanges.
In the
event that a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as
applicable, is exchanged for Certificates in definitive registered form without
interest coupons, such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in
accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the
provisions above (including certification requirements intended to insure that
such transfers comply with Rule 144A or are to non-U.S. Persons, or otherwise
comply with Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be, and
as
may be from time to time adopted by the Depositor and the Certificate
Registrar.
(v) Restrictions
on U.S. Transfers.
Transfers of interests in the Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons
(as
defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.02(f)(iii).
(g) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
121
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.

(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate

its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii)
there
is delivered to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and
the
Depositor such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee, the Depositor
or
the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide
purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust
and
the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Depositor and the Certificate
Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant
to
this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION
6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any
agent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any NIMS Insurer

name
any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, any NIMS Insurer, the Paying Agent or any agent of any
of
them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION

or
examination by federal or state authorities.
122
(b) The

by
it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders and shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding

Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager and the Seller. On or after the receipt
by
the Master Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders)
of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee and the Trustee is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related
documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee
in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master
Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee
of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent
to
such notice and the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice
to the Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall
at
the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the
Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Servicing Account or that have
been
deposited by the Master Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by
the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received
by the Master Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Master Servicer's duties
and
the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement
to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section shall
be
paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer
is the Trustee, the terminated Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses.
The
termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not
affect any liability it may have incurred prior to such termination. To the
extent that such costs and expenses of the Trustee are not fully and timely
reimbursed by the predecessor Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled
to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Account.
(c) The
Securities Administrator shall not later than the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date notify the
Trustee in writing of the Master Servicer’s failure to make any Advance required
to be made under this Agreement on such date and the amount of such Advance.
By
no later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the relevant Distribution Date,
the
Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee of the continuance of such
failure or that the Master Servicer has made the Advance, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the terms of the Event of Default described in clause (i) of
Section 7.01(a), the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice on the Distribution
Date from the Securities Administrator of the continuance of the failure of
the
Master Servicer to make an Advance or deposit funds to the Distribution Account,
shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered
by
telecopy, immediately suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to
any
rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of outstanding
Advances or other amounts for which the Master Servicer was entitled to
reimbursement as of the date of suspension, and the Trustee, subject to the
cure
provided for in this paragraph, if available, shall act as provided in Section
7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation
to
make any Advance the nonpayment of which is described in clause (i)(A) of
Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the
distribution on the relevant Distribution Date, and shall have all of the rights
incidental thereto. If the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days
following such suspension remit to the Trustee the amount of any Advance the
nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer is described in clause (i)(A) of
Section 7.01(a), together with all other amounts necessary to reimburse the
Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee
because of action taken pursuant to this subsection (including interest on
any
Advance or other amounts paid by the Trustee (from and including the respective
dates thereof) at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate for U.S. money center
commercial banks as published in the Wall Street Journal), then the Trustee,
subject to the last two sentences of this paragraph, may at its sole discretion
permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder. If
the
Master Servicer shall fail to remit such amounts to the Trustee within such
two
Business Days after the Distribution Date, then an Event of Default shall occur
and such notice of suspension shall be deemed to be a notice of termination
without any further action on the part of the Trustee. The Master Servicer
agrees that if it fails to make a required Advance by 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time)
on the related Distribution Date on more than two occasions in any 12 month
period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer
to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder, and
notwithstanding the cure period provided in Section 7.01(a)(i)(A), an Event
of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the relevant Distribution Date.
124
SECTION
7.02. Trustee to Act.
(a) From
and
after the date the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the
Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee
shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity
as
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would
have
been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor
Master Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee
shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan
or
home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as
the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer shall
not
result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned
to
the Certificates by each Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect
from each Rating Agency. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting,
the
Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received hereunder.
The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability
of
the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior
to its termination as Master Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.09 or to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.30), nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master
Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in
any
related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any
such succession.
125
(b) Any
successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as Master Servicer
shall during the term of its service as Master Servicer continue to service
and
administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder
and
a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
3.04.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable
for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing
fee
paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer
to act as successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein.
SECTION
7.03. Waiver of Event of Default.
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, by notice
in writing to the Trustee, direct the Trustee to waive any events permitting
removal of any Master Servicer under this Agreement, provided,
however,
that
the Majority Certificateholders may not waive an event that results in a failure
to make any required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the
Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of an Event of Default, such event
shall cease to exist and any 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 event or impair any right consequent thereto
except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be
given by the Trustee to each Rating Agency.
126
SECTION
7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to any Master Servicer pursuant to
this Article VII or Section 3.30, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to each Rating
Agency and to any NIMS Insurer.
(b) No
later
than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which,
with
notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default of
which
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such
an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and any
NIMS
Insurer notice of such occurrence unless such Event of Default shall have been
waived or cured.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
TRUSTEE
AND THE
SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION
8.01. Duties of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities
Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as
are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of
his own affairs, unless the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer,
in
which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer
hereunder with respect to the exercise of the rights and powers of the Master
Servicer hereunder.
The
Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, which
are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator will be responsible for
the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found not
to
conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall take such action as it deems appropriate
to have the instrument corrected. If the instrument is not corrected to the
satisfaction of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall provide notice
thereof to the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense
of the Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature
of the required action, take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders or any NIMS Insurer.
127
On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent, shall make
monthly distributions to the Final Maturity Reserve Account (commencing with
the
Distribution Date in September 2016) and the Certificateholders from funds
in
the Distribution Account, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and, on the Final Maturity
Reserve Termination Date, the Final Maturity Reserve Account, as applicable,
in
each case as provided in Sections 5.01, 5.07, 5.09 and 10.01 hereof based on
the
report of the Securities Administrator.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided,
however,
that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Events
of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such of its duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part
of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or an
officer of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved
that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent
in
ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;
(iii) neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith
in accordance with the consent or at the direction of any NIMS Insurer or
Holders of Certificates as provided herein relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any remedy pursuant to this Agreement, or exercising or
omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement; and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default or a
Document Transfer Event or any other event or matter that may require it to
take
action or omit to take action hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office receives written notice of such Event
of
Default or Document Transfer Event.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or
risk
its own funds or otherwise incur financial or other liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not
assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall
in
any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or
be
responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the
Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers
and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
128
SECTION
8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:
(i) the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and conclusively rely
upon,
and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any
resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it
to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties,
and the manner of obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of
the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may
prescribe;
(ii) the

the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation
to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to

Insurer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders or any NIMS Insurer shall have offered to the Trustee or
the
Securities Administrator, respectively, reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty,
and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act;

the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable for
any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to
be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(v) neither
the Securities Administrator nor, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
the Trustee shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents,
unless requested in writing to do so by any NIMS Insurer or the Majority
Certificateholder; provided,
however,
that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms
of
this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
may
require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, liability or payment
of
such estimated expenses from any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders, as
applicable, as a condition to such proceeding. If the Master Servicer fails
to
reimburse the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in respect of the
reasonable expense of every such examination relating to the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust
Fund;
129
(vi) the
Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no
representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Securities
Administrator or the Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be
required to act as the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as a successor Master
Servicer;
(vii) the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents, nominees, attorneys or a custodian, and shall not be responsible for
any
willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, nominee, attorney
or
custodian appointed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in good
faith;
(viii) the
right
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary

and
(ix) in
order
to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from
time
to time applicable to the banking institutions, including those relating to
the
funding of terrorism and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator are required to obtain, verify and record certain
information relating to certain individuals and certain entities which maintain
a business relationship with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator upon its request from time to time such identifying
information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to
enable the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to comply with Applicable
Law.

Mortgage Loans.
The

or the Securities Administrator. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or
with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any

by
or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom,
it
being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust Fund

may
hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of the Master Servicer
(other than as to the Securities Administrator, if it is also the Master
Servicer, and as to the Trustee, if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, and then only for the acts
or
omissions of the Trustee as the successor Master Servicer), or any acts or

however,
that

Agreement.
SECTION
8.04. Trustee, Custodians, Master Servicer and Securities Administrator May

Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties
hereto.
131
SECTION
8.05. Trustee’s and Securities Administrator’s Fees and
Expenses.
The
Trustee (including in its capacity as a Custodian) shall be compensated by

trusts hereunder, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise
from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is specifically
designated herein as the responsibility of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund hereunder or thereunder.
If
funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee, the
Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall recover such expenses from
future collections on the Mortgage Loans or as otherwise agreed by the
Certificateholders. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not
be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an

Administrator.
The
Trustee and Securities Administrator hereunder shall at all times be an entity
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate

and (except with respect to the initial Trustee) a minimum long-term debt rating

to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of
condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the
initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee
to the effect that the Trust Fund will not be a taxable entity under the laws
of
such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.06, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07
hereof.
132
SECTION
8.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee and Securities
Administrator.
The
Trustee and Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Depositor, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee that meets the requirements in
Section 8.06 and is reasonably acceptable to any NIMS Insurer or, in the case
of
notice of resignation of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee (in
consultation with the Depositor) shall promptly appoint a successor Securities
Administrator that meets the requirements in Section 8.06 and is reasonably
acceptable to any NIMS Insurer, in each case, by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to (i) each of the
resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, (ii) the successor
Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, and (iii) any
NIMS
Insurer. If no successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee
or
Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer or if at
any
time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be legally unable to
act,
or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property or affairs
for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee
(in its capacity as a Custodian) or the Securities Administrator fails to
provide an assessment of compliance or an attestation report required under
Section 3.16 within 15 calendar days of March 1 of each calendar year in which
Exchange Act reports are required then the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer may
remove the Trustee or the Trustee may remove the Securities Administrator,
as
applicable. If the Depositor or the Trustee removes the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Depositor or the Trustee shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, in each case,
reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, that meets the requirements of
Section 8.06, as applicable, by written instrument, in quadruplicate, one copy
of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, so removed, one copy to the successor Trustee
or
successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, one copy to the Master
Servicer and one copy to the NIMS Insurer.
The
Majority Certificateholders (or any NIMS Insurer in the event of failure of
the
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform its obligations
hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
by
written instrument or instruments delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee;
the Depositor or the Trustee shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint
a
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, in
each
case, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, in accordance with this
Section.

Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and
appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Securities Administrator,
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become

successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.08
hereof. If the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is removed pursuant
to
this Section 8.07, it shall be reimbursed any outstanding and unpaid fees and
expenses, and if removed under the authority of the immediately preceding
paragraph, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall also be reimbursed
any outstanding and unpaid costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Master Servicer
resigns or is removed as Master Servicer hereunder, the Securities Administrator
shall have the right to resign immediately as Securities Administrator by giving
written notice to the Depositor and the Trustee, with a copy to each Rating
Agency.
SECTION
8.08. Successor Trustee and Successor Securities
Administrator.
Any
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator appointed as provided
in
Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor,
any
NIMS Insurer, the Seller and the Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee
or predecessor Securities Administrator, as applicable, an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee or predecessor Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or successor Securities
Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Securities
Administrator. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the
predecessor Trustee or predecessor Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, all
such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and the appointment of such successor
Trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall not result in a downgrading
of the Senior Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter
from
each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or successor Securities
Administrator, as applicable, as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor
Trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the
appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to
all
Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register

134
SECTION
8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities
Administrator.
Any
entity into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged
or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from
any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
8.08 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION
8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund
or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the
Trustee acting jointly shall have the power, and the Trustee shall, and shall
instruct the Depositor to, execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one
or
more Persons, approved by the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee
or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, at the expense of the Trust Fund, of all or any part of the Trust
Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under
Section 8.06 hereof, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment
of
any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title
to
the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but
solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the
Depositor and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation
of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
135
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to
the
Depositor and any NIMS Insurer.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.
SECTION
8.11. Limitation of Liability.
The
Certificates are executed by the Securities Administrator, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust Fund,
in
the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Securities Administrator in the Certificates is made and intended not as a
personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for
the purpose of binding only the Trust Fund.
SECTION
8.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates.
(a) All
rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
or in
its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursement and advances of the Trustee (for the avoidance of doubt, in its
individual capacity and as Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund), its agents
and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit or the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The
Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor and each Certificateholder upon
reasonable notice during normal business hours at its Corporate Trust Office
or
other office designated by the Trustee, access to all records maintained by
the
Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee
responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish
the Depositor and any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent audited
financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the
Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall, subject to the first sentence
of
this Section 8.12(b), make available to the Seller, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder for review and copying such books, documents or records as
may
be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the
Depositor and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or
otherwise.
136
(c) The
Securities Administrator shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee
and
each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours
at
its offices at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or other office
designated by the Securities Administrator, access to all records maintained
by
the Securities Administrator in respect of its duties hereunder and access
to
officers of the Securities Administrator responsible for performing such duties.
The Securities Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the
Depositor, the Trustee and such Certificateholder and shall, subject to the
first sentence of this Section 8.12(c), make available to the Seller, the
Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books,
documents or records as may be reasonably requested with respect to the
Securities Administrator’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Securities Administrator
and
are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Securities Administrator
under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION
8.13. Suits for Enforcement.
In
case
an Event of Default or a default by the Depositor hereunder shall occur and
be
continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement, as the case may be,
by a
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee,
being
advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual
to
protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
SECTION
8.14. Waiver of Bond Requirement.
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust Fund, or any part thereof,
may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court,
agency or body whatsoever.
SECTION
8.15. Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement.
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust Fund, or any part thereof,
may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal
of
the Trust Fund with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner
whatsoever.
137
SECTION
8.16. Appointment of Custodians.
The
Trustee may appoint one or more custodians to hold all or a portion of the
related Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial
agreement. The custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee. Subject to this Article VIII,
the
Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custodial agreement and to
enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the custodian for the benefit
of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
custodian. Each custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined
capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. The Seller
shall pay from its own funds, without any right to reimbursement, the fees,
costs and expenses of each custodian (including the costs of custodian’s
counsel).
ARTICLE
IX
REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
SECTION
9.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) As
set
forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, two REMIC elections shall
be made by the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign and the Securities
Administrator shall file such elections on Form 1066 or other appropriate
federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day
of
the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests
in
each REMIC created hereunder and the related residual interest shall be as
designated in the Preliminary Statement. Following the Closing Date, the
Securities Administrator shall apply to the Internal Revenue Service for an
employer identification number for each REMIC created hereunder by means of
a
Form SS-4 or other acceptable method and shall file a Form 8811 with the
Internal Revenue Service.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created
hereunder within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The
latest possible maturity date for each interest in any REMIC created hereby
shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) Except
as
provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9.01, the Securities Administrator
shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC
created hereunder, including but not limited to any professional fees or
expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with
respect to any such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax
authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder
(including the Securities Administrator’s duties as tax return
preparer).
(d) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign
all
of the federal and state tax and information returns of each REMIC created
hereunder (collectively, the “Tax
Returns”)
as the
direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such Tax Returns
shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to prepare, file or
otherwise deal with partnership tax information or returns. In the event that
partnership tax information or returns are required by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Seller, at its own cost and expense, will prepare and file all
necessary returns.
The
Internal Revenue Service has issued OID regulations under Sections 1271 to
1275
of the Code generally addressing the treatment of debt instruments issued with
original issue discount. Under those regulations, debt issued to one Person
generally is aggregated in determining if there is OID. Because certain Classes
of Regular Certificates are expected to be issued to one Person (which intends
to continue to hold the Regular Certificates indefinitely and, in any case,
for
at least 30 days), the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trust Fund
and
upon receipt of written direction from the Depositor, will determine the
existence and amount of any OID as if those Classes of Regular Certificates
were
one debt instrument and based solely on information provided by the Depositor
to
the Securities Administrator.
138
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
each such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance
guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing
authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions
or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator, shall provide (i) to
the
Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate
to
any disqualified organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC
Provisions.
The
Securities Administrator, however, shall have no information or other tax
reporting obligations with respect to the Final Maturity Reserve
Trust.
(f) Each
of
the Master Servicer, Trustee and the Securities Administrator (to the extent
that the affairs of the REMICs are within such Person’s control and the scope of
its specific responsibilities under the Agreement) and the Holders of
Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to
take
any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC created
hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other
as
necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or the Holder of a Residual Certificate shall take any action,
cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail
to
cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or
not
taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer have received
an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to
the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created
hereunder or the assets therein, or causing any such REMIC to take any action
which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder
of the Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer or their respective designees,
in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to any such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any
such
action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any such action as to which
the Securities Administrator or any NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing
that
an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
139
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
any REMIC created hereunder in which it owns the residual interest by federal
or
state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust Fund taxes are
not
paid by the Residual Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator shall
pay
any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate or, if no such amounts
are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall
reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in such REMIC,
as the case may be.
(h) The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year
and
on an accrual basis.
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible
substitute mortgage loans.
(j) None
of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall enter
into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee
or
other compensation for services.
(k) The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside
reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h),
and
not as assets of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class C Certificates are the
owners of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. The Securities Administrator shall treat
the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates to receive distributions
to
cover Basis Risk Shortfalls as payments under a cap contract written by the
Holders of the Class C Certificates in favor of the related Holders of the
LIBOR
Certificates. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as representing
not
only ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an
interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the
issue
prices of the Certificates, the interest rate cap contracts shall be assumed
to
have a zero value unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing
authority.
(l) The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Final Maturity Reserve Trust as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(h) owned by the holders of the Class C Certificates and not assets
of
any REMIC. The Class C Certificateholder shall be treated as the owner of the
Final Maturity Reserve Trust and any payments made from the Final Maturity
Reserve Trust to beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class C
Certificates) shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as payments
made
by the Class C Certificateholder in exchange for an interest in the Certificates
then owned by such beneficial owners.
(m) For
federal income tax purposes, upon any sale of the property held by the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 10.01(a), any NIM Redemption Amount and any Premium
Proceeds paid by the Master Servicer shall not be treated as a portion of the
purchase price paid for such property but shall instead be treated as an amount
paid by the Master Servicer to the Holder of the Class C Certificates pursuant
to a cash-settled call option with respect to the property held by the Trust
Fund.
140
SECTION
9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant
to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust
Fund, (iii) the termination of the REMICs created hereunder pursuant to Article
X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II hereof or (v)
a
repurchase of Mortgage Loans as contemplated hereunder, nor acquire any assets
for any REMIC created hereunder, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC created
hereunder after the Closing Date, unless the Depositor, the Trustee and any
NIMS
Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing
such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition,
substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event.
ARTICLE
X
TERMINATION
SECTION
10.01. Termination.
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby
(other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent,
to
make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date
and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter
set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the
Class Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero,
(ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan,
(iii) the optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Terminator as
described in the following paragraph and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity
Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of
St.
James’s, living on the date hereof.
141
Following
the date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage
Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the
related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled
collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) on
such
date is equal to or less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal
Balance (the “Call
Option Date”),
the
Master Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”),
with
the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) or the NIMS Insurer, may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the
outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to (A) the
greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving
effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period,
to
the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal
received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the
REO Properties and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties (as determined and as agreed upon by (w) the Terminator, (x) the
NIMS
Insurer, (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class
C
Certificates and (z) if the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates will not receive
all amounts due and payable as a result of the exercise of the option by the
Terminator, the Trustee, in their good faith business judgment as of the close
of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice
of any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant
to Section 10.01(b)), plus, (B) in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the
Due
Period preceding the final Distribution Date, plus any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and Advances and any unpaid Master Servicing Fees and Servicing Fees
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and all amounts, if any,
then due and owing to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator under this Agreement, plus
any
Basis Risk Shortfalls then remaining unpaid or which is due to the exercise
of
such option (the “Termination
Price”);
provided,
however,
such
option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to result
in
the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire
the Class Principal Balance of, each Class of Certificates issued pursuant
to
this Agreement; and, provided,
further,
that if
there are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only exercise
its option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such
NIM
Securities and, if such consent is given, the Termination Price shall also
include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM
Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and
(3)
any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities (the
“NIM
Redemption Amount”).
If
the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required
to be made and agreed upon by the Master Servicer, if it is Terminator, and
the
Holders of a majority of Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates as
provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, and such
determination shall take into consideration an appraisal of the value of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually
agreed upon by the Master Servicer, if it is the Terminator, the Holders of
a
majority in Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates and the Terminator
in their reasonable discretion, such appraisal to be obtained by the Holders
of
a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates at their expense,
and (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B)
the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such
fair market value determination. No such purchase by the Terminator will be
permitted without the consent of the NIMS Insurer.
If
the
Master Servicer does not exercise its option as described above, then the NIMS
Insurer shall have the right to exercise such option and (i) the NIMS Insurer
shall remit the Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Master
Servicer at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution
Date
and, upon receipt of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
shall
promptly deposit such funds in the Distribution Account and (ii) upon the
termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will transfer the property of the
Trust Fund to the NIMS Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse
the Master Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with its termination of the Trust Fund by the NIMS Insurer and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer for all losses, liabilities
or
expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the
termination of the Trust Fund by the NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such
losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Master
Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
142
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then
on
deposit in the Distribution Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have
occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
Notwithstanding
anything provided herein to the contrary, upon the exercise of the Call Option,
the Servicing Rights Owner shall retain any and all related Servicing Rights
with respect to any SRO Mortgage Loans.
(b) Notice
of
any termination pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.01(a), specifying
the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a
Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their
Certificates to the Certificate Registrar for payment of the final distribution
and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee
receiving notice of such date from the Master Servicer by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than
the 19th day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final
distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
of
such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein
designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties
of
the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate
and
the Trustee shall terminate, or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the
Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect
to
the Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all
amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such
payment.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator,
as
Paying Agent, shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates
on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the
Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds
are
available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be
distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.01 hereof for such Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that
with respect to amounts that would otherwise be distributed to the Class R
Certificates (i) with respect to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans on the final
Distribution Date, such amounts, if any, shall be distributed to the Class
2A-1A-1 and Class 2A-1B Certificates, pro
rata
up to
the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the classes of
Senior Certificates related to Loan Group 2 on such date is greater than the
Loan Group Balance of the related Group 2 Mortgage Loans for such Distribution

Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements:
(i) The
Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator shall sell any
remaining assets of the Trust Fund to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or its designee,
for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to (or credit to
the
account of) the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale together with
any
cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation
of
the Trust Fund, and each REMIC created hereunder; and
(ii) The
Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the final federal income
tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury
Regulation §1.860F-1, the first day of the 90 day liquidation period for such
REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund and
shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
of
the Code and any regulations thereunder as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator obtained at the
expense of the Seller.
(b) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator as their attorneys in fact to undertake
the foregoing steps.

price equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus
accrued interest thereon to the date of repurchase plus any unreimbursed
Advances, Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees allocable to such Distressed
Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by the NIMS Insurer’s
remittance of the purchase price for the Distressed Mortgage Loan to the
Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account. The NIMS
Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting Distressed Mortgage Loans
to be
repurchased which would be materially adverse to
Certificateholders.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
SECTION
12.01. Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Credit Risk Manager and
the
Trustee (with the consent of any NIMS Insurer) without the consent of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with
any
other provisions herein, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iv) to conform the
terms
hereof to the description thereof provided in the Prospectus; provided,
however,
that
any such action listed in clause (i) through (iii) above shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
provided,
further,
that
any such action listed in (i) through (iii) above shall be deemed not to
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
if evidenced by (i) written notice to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Credit Risk Manager, any NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee from the Rating Agency that such action will not result
in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency or (ii) an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such amendment shall not adversely affect in
any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, is permitted by the
Agreement and all the conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with,
delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
and
any NIMS Insurer.
In
addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Credit Risk
Manager and the Trustee with the consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however,
that no
such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates that are required to be made
on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate,
(y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders
of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause
(x)
above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing at least a 662/3%
Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting
Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of
all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment,
a copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agency.
145
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless they
shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by and at the expense
of the Person seeking such Amendment (unless such Person is the Trustee, in
which case the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses
by
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof), to the effect that such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created
hereunder pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding
and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, such
amendment is permitted by this Agreement and all conditions precedent, if any,
have been complied with.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the
expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is the Seller
(but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust Fund, a copy of such amendment and the
Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the
Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment;
instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject
to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The
Trustee, the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator may, but shall not
be
obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant to this 12.01 Section that
affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.
SECTION
12.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust
Fund,
but only upon direction of Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.
146
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
SECTION
12.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate
this Agreement or the Trust Fund, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder’s
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action
or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund or
(iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
Except
as
expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any right to
vote
or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust
Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set
forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall
have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall, with the prior written
consent of any NIMS Insurer, have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or
thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute
any
such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given the Trustee by such Certificateholder or any NIMS
Insurer. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, any NIMS Insurer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates or the rights of any NIMS Insurer,
or
to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder
or any NIMS Insurer, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided
for
herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this
Section 12.03, each and every Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

The

appointed in writing, and such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and, when expressly required under this Agreement, to the Master
Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the
Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution

a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments
of
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by a
signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority.
(c) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by any Certificateholder shall bind every future Holder of such

in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such

The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

SECTION
12.13. Provision of Information.

provide to any Certificateholders, any NIM Security Holder and to any
prospective purchaser of Certificates designated by such holder, upon the
request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to
be
provided to such holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set

documents requested (and certifying that it is a Person entitled hereunder),

contrary herein, any purported transfer of this Certificate to or on behalf

void and of no effect.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions
that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in
this
Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee
and
(b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be
in
the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring
any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree to require a transfer
affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person
holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree
not to
transfer an Ownership Interest in this Certificate if it has actual knowledge
that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted
or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation
of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights
in
the purported transferee. The Securities Administrator will provide the Internal
Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the information needed to
compute
the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on transfers of residual interests
to disqualified organizations, if any person other than a Permitted Transferee

therewith.
The
Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities

The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or,
if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee
or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on

and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved
of
liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to
such
Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have
actual
knowledge that the affidavit is false. The Transferee has provided
financial statements or other financial information requested by

understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect
to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity
an
affidavit that such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization

affidavit
is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated
investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust

Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding
voiding
the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees
to be
bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 6.02(e) of the
Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate.

to whom
the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest
or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person

K to
