As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets
consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other than
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Swap Account, the Serivicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated
as
“REMIC 1.” The Class R-1 Interest shall be the sole class of “residual
interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein).
The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and,
for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the

SECTION 2.01 |
Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without
recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan identified on the

in
respect of the Mortgage Loans; (iv) the rights of the Depositor under the

In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor, does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, the following
documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred
and
assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage File”):

original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) in the following
form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse” or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost
Note Affidavit stating that the original mortgage note was lost, misplaced
or
destroyed, together with a copy of the related mortgage note; provided, however,

Cut-off Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan
is
a MOM Loan), with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power
of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with
evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has
been
submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of such
Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true and
complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) unless
the Mortgage Loan is a MERS® loan, an original Assignment, in form and substance
acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank
or
(B) to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without
recourse”;
(iv) an
original of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain
of
assignments (or to MERS if the Mortgage Loan is a MERS loan;
(v) the
original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy;
and
(vi) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or

The
Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and
deliver) and 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 F-3 hereto.
If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of
the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee no later than the Closing
Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case
of
(x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above
to
be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording
and
(2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original
or a
copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to
be
a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender’s title
insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Custodian on behalf of 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 Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall enforce
the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to
cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the
Custodian within 120 days. If the Originator does not cure such defect or
deliver such missing document within such time period, the Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of the
Originator to either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Section 2.03; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
be
under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless
directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees
to
assist the Servicer in enforcing any obligations of the Originator to repurchase
or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or
warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. In connection with the
foregoing, it is understood that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall
have no duty to discover any such defects except in the course of performing
its
review of the Mortgage Files to the extent set forth herein.
Except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to cause the Assignments which were delivered in blank
to be completed and to record all Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii)
hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee
shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to deliver such assignments for recording within 180 days of the
Closing Date. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned
unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as
the
case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing
and
to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required
to be
submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in
Maryland) unless the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and
the
Depositor receive notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class
of
Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment, except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage, shall be submitted
for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v)
upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, (vi) upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more
Delinquent and such recordation would be necessary to facilitate conversion
of
the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.16 and (vii) reasonable
direction by the NIMS Insurer. In the event of (i) through (vii) set forth
in
the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations
of
the Originator to deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above,
promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the
Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Originator fails to pay the
cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee
(if
it reasonably believes it will be reimbursed) and the Trustee shall be
reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365
days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such
365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365 day
period, an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to
be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (in its capacity as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) and to assign any rights to receive
payments from the Swap Provider to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap
Administration Agreement and the Depositor further directs the Trustee to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Administration
Agreement. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Class A and
Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge
and
agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement and
shall
do so solely in its capacity as Trustee or as Swap Administrator, as the case
may be, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection
to
the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement, and the performance of its
duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder
SECTION 2.02 |

the
NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2,
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 (or the Custodian, as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or not to conform with respect to any characteristics which
are within the scope of the Trustee’s (or the Custodian’s, as applicable) review
as provided herein, at the conclusion of its review, the Trustee shall so notify
the Originator, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer. In addition,
upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer (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 Originator in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which 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 NIMS Insurer and the other parties
to
this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Trustee be
liable to any party hereto or to any third party for the performance of any
custody-related functions, including without limitation with respect to which
the Custodian shall fail to take action on behalf of the Trustee or failure
by
the Custodian to perform any custody related functions in the event the
Custodian shall fail to satisfy all the related requirements under this
Agreement or the Custodial Agreement.
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 in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders 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
Originator.
|
(a) Upon
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
Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)
shall promptly notify the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer of such defect, missing
document or breach and the Servicer shall request that the Originator deliver
such missing document or that the Originator cure such defect or breach within
90 days from the date the Originator was notified of such missing document,
defect or breach, and if the Originator does not deliver such missing document
or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period,
the
Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the
Originator’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and notify
the Originator of its obligation to repurchase such 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)); provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to take any action
pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided,
further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist the Servicer in enforcing any
obligations of the Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan
which has breached a representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, and the Trustee
(or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator
the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that
neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for
determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator
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); provided, however, the Originator may not substitute for
any
Mortgage Loan which breaches a representation or warranty regarding abusive
or
predatory lending laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Originator
is
not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on
the
MERS® System, the Originator, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator
and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS®
System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the 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 the
Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) 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 Originator substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator delivering to
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the
Assignment to the Trustee in blank, and such other documents and agreements,
with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01,
together with an Officers’ Certificate providing 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. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and,
within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section
2.02 and deliver, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F-1
(with a copy to the NIMS Insurer), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver to the Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto (with a copy to the NIMS
Insurer) with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
with
any applicable 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 Originator. 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 Originator shall thereafter be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice
to
the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, who shall forward such 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 NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the
Originator, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms
of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Originator substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will
determine the amount (the “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 Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator will deliver or cause
to
be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Originator the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Originator shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Originator shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer 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 hereto.
In
connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be,
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. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made (i) by the Originator if the affected Mortgage Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty
of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a)
or
2.03(d), if made by the Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if made by the
Depositor. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
reconvey to the Depositor or the Originator, as the case may be, 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.
(f) In
addition to the foregoing, to the extent of a breach of the representation
of
the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06(x), the Depositor 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. The Depositor acknowledges that a breach of the
representation set forth in Section 2.06(x) will be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and shall require
a
repurchase of the affected Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as
determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent
with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary
and
usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction (the “Servicing
Standard”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive
(or
permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only
under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary
in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default
or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) the collection
of
such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iv) the
Servicer has not received information and documentation sufficient to confirm
the existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge. If a Prepayment Charge is
waived as permitted by meeting the standard described in clauses (iii) or (iv)
above, then the Servicer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to attempt
to enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of
the Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph
unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby
agrees to assist the Servicer in enforcing any obligations of the Originator
to
repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation
or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Servicer makes
a
good faith determination as evidenced by an officer’s certificate delivered by
the Servicer to the Trustee, that the Servicer’s efforts are not reasonably
expected to be successful in enforcing such rights, it shall notify the Trustee
of such failure and the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall
enforce the obligation of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to pay to the Servicer the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge.
If
the Originator fails to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in
accordance with its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor shall consult on further actions to
be
taken against the Originator. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that for the
purposes of clause (iii) above, the law applicable to the enforcement of
Prepayment Charges is the law applicable to the originator of the related
Mortgage Loan. In the event the Servicer determines that (i) the foregoing
acknowledgement is no longer accurate and (ii) applicable state law would
prevent it from fully enforcing any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall (i)
provide notice to the Depositor at least 30 days prior to waiving any such
Prepayment Charge and (ii) provide a written opinion of counsel from a
nationally recognized law firm experienced in regulatory matters concluding
that
fully enforcing such Prepayment Charge would violate applicable
law.
Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement
and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in the name of the Trust Fund, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, any
and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to
be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance
of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within five
(5)
days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Servicer
and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
to
carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided,
such
limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer
and submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable
for
the actions by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment
and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the
actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing
or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS® System,
shall be reimbursable to the Servicer by withdrawal from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11.
Subject
to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment
of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose
of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Stated
Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless,
in
any such case, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of
any
tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under
the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer shall also undertake to defend, with respect to a claim against the
Trustee or the Trust, any claims against the Trust, the Trustee or itself by
a
Mortgagor which relate to or affect the servicing of any Mortgage Loan. This
shall not be construed as an assumption of liability in such matters. The
Trustee shall notify the Servicer of any such claim as soon as practicable
after
receiving notice of such claim. The Servicer shall not be liable for any delay
in responding to any claim of which it has not received timely notice. The
Trustee shall cooperate with the Servicer in all aspects of the defense of
such
claims, including the timely delivery of all relevant litigation files and
other
related information. In the event the Servicer acts on behalf of the Trustee,
the Trust or itself in any such litigation, the Trust shall pay all costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, settlements and judgments)
associated with the defense and management of such claim; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be indemnified for any such cost or expense relating
to claims against the Servicer and incurred by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties
hereunder.
Within
180 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth
on
Schedule III of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee a written field report from the Servicer or from an independent
contractor (which, in either case, need not be a qualified appraiser but who
cannot be the related Mortgagor) certifying that, based on a visual exterior
inspection conducted by such person, such related Mortgaged Property appears
not
to have been damaged materially by the recent Hurricane Xxxxxxx or Xxxx or
their
after effects.
SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which
may
be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans; provided, however, (i) such sub-servicing arrangement and the
terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing
of
the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement
contemplated hereunder and (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such
sub-servicing agreement. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at
the
request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement. No such acknowledgment
shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee has consented to any such
Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement
meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in
this
Agreement or has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement. The Servicer may, in connection with its duties
as Servicer hereunder, enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates
relating to the Mortgage Loans; provided, that (i) such transaction is in the
ordinary course of business of the Servicer, and (ii) the terms of such
transaction are no less favorable to the Servicer than it would obtain in a
comparable arm’s-length transaction with a person that is not an Affiliate of
the Servicer.
Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and
to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx
Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement
must
impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth
in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent
with
the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any
Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions
of
this Agreement. Any variation in any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the
NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any
amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(b) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-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 Servicer, in its
good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting
from
such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate
any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of
any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such
Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly
the
related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a
successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Servicer or the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting
as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
the
event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer,
the
Trustee or Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by
Trustee.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee,
in
addition to its duties under Section 7.02, shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that
the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate
any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have
assumed all of the departing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced
the departing Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same
extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved
of
any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before
it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor
Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the
Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs, and if such predecessor Servicer is the Trustee or it defaults in its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the
Trust).
SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of
the Mortgage Loans and the provisions of any applicable insurance policies
provided to the Servicer. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in
its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty
interest or any provisions of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor
to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder,
or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note
for
a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of
any
Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided
below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the
Servicer shall make timely Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension
pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also
waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications
that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as “forbearance”), provided, however, that the NIMS Insurer’s
prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or
amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have
been
modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of
the
Cut-off Date. The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the
conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 and the
Loss
Mitigation Procedures shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage
File.
SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-
Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain
one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall establish
and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the
“Escrow Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and
retained. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit
in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans
and
shall deposit in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days
after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments collected on
account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the payment of any
such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts
from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner and
at
a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized
(or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids
the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as
a
result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the
extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related
collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Escrow Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account
at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect
of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. In
the
event the Servicer shall deposit in a Escrow Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Escrow
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer
will
be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts and will be
obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts when and as necessary
to
avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the
Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the
Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If
any
such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien
with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within 10
Business Days of receipt of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds
necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its
servicing duties, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in the Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and,
to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient,
to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the
Escrow Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing
Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid
to
Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.
SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, as and when received or as
otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received
or
made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal
or
interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage
Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any
particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 10.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with Substitution Adjustments
pursuant to Section 2.03; and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees, late payment charges,
assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and ancillary income (other than
Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection
Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation. In
the
event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more
segregated, non-interest bearing trust accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver
to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references
in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable
Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts
in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then
on
deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any funds reimbursable to
an
Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.29 (unless such amounts are to be
remitted in another manner as specified in the documentation establishing the
related Advance Facility).
If,
by
1:00 p.m. New York time, on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer fails
to
remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts
required to be so remitted by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts
at the prime rate for such date (as set forth in the Wall
Street Journal)
for the
period commencing on the Servicer Remittance Date through the Business Day
on
which such failure is remedied.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior
to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the NIMS Insurer, the
Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account
and
must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the
definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be
a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d).
In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and
the
Trustee, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall so deposit, in
the
Distribution Account:
(i) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;
(iv) any
Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection
with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall;
(v) any
amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement, including,
but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02; and
(vi) any
other
amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.

Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.04:

to
be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances
to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of

related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage
Loans or REO Properties with respect to which such Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04; or (b) without limiting any
right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any unreimbursed Advances
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections (net
of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances; or (c) subject to 4.04(b), any
unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account
for
future distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding
Distribution Date;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid

Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan
or
REO Property, and (c) without limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in
clause (vi) below, any Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan
are
Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
for
Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as additional servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing
Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned
on

each
Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section

of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be and any enforcement expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of such breach or defect, including any expenses
arising out of the enforcement of such purchase obligations;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.04;
(vii) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses
incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.16(b);
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer

itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;
(x) to

The
foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be
exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, on or prior
to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an
Officers’ Certificate in the form described under Section 4.04(d) shall suffice
for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.
(b) The
Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) [Reserved];
(iii) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 9.01(g);
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01;
(v) to

(viii) to
pay to
the Custodian, the Custodial Fee.
SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on deposit in such accounts
and
the Trustee may invest the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account or
hold
such funds uninvested (each such account, for the purposes of this Section
3.12,
an “Investment Account”). All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be
in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount,
and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee
is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised by a Person
other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, and (ii) no later than
the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account
pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such
investment is managed or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO
Account, and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall
be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document
of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in
the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.11, Section 3.29 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any
such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account
immediately upon realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee may at its discretion, and without liability, hold the funds in the
Distribution Account uninvested.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of
the
NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action
as
may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the
institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(e) The
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation
that
could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation
shall
not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or otherwise payable in respect of
extraordinary Trust Fund expenses.
SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the current Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to
the
improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis,
in
each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with
extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal
to
the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are
a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply
in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by
the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood
and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of
any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
If
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified
in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer
will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount
of
such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national
flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property
is located is participating in such program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences
of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may
contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those
commercially available and maintained by competent servicers, in which case
the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first
two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf
of
itself, the Depositor, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any
such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, upon
request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer
shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet
the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained
a
waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall
be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer
has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms
of
such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall
by
its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer
to
maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity
bond
which would meet such requirements.
SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the
Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized,
to
the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note, to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted
as
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no
such
substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the current
underwriting criteria of the Servicer for a mortgage loan similar to the related
Mortgage Loan. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution,
the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices
and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The
Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement,
however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have
received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any
applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect
of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement shall
be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including
but
not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment)
may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms
thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution,
modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the executed original of such substitution, modification or assumption
agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent
as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. Title to any such property
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, subject to applicable law. The Servicer shall be responsible
for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances
by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11(a) and Section 3.23. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be
a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
(A) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(B) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Servicer has
actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property contains such wastes
or
substances, the Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of
foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(vii), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund;
provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.04(d). The
cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(vii), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or
more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), the Servicer
shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04. The
Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan
at
a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase
of
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be accomplished by
deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. Upon
the
satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.17(a), the Trustee
shall
immediately deliver the Mortgage File and any related documentation to the
Servicer and will execute such documents provided to it as are necessary to
convey the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Advances
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due
Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the recovery so
allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian,
in
written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release
in the form of Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a
Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will,
in
lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall
request delivery to it or its designee of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Custodian, pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement, shall release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer or its
designee (which, shall be sent by overnight mail at the Servicer’s expense) and
the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS® System of any such Mortgage Loan, if applicable. Except as otherwise
provided herein, no expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian, pursuant tot eh Custodial
Agreement, shall, upon any request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and
delivery to the Custodian of two executed copies of a written Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer (or in
a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File
to
the Servicer or its designee within three Business Days, which, shall be sent
by
overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer or the related Mortgagor, and
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents provided to it by the Servicer
as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists,
unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account
or
the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to
a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of
the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has
delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Custodian an additional Request
for
Release certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the
request of the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), the Servicer
shall provide notice to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
of the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such
document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon
receipt of a Request for Release, in written (with two executed copies) or
electronic format (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will,
in
lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), from
a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that
are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited,
or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall
be
released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) to the
Servicer or its designee within three Business Days.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the
Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, copies of any court pleadings, requests for
trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale
in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and a
statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of
the
Trustee) will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage,
except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure
or
trustee’s sale.
SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments
of
interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition,
the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale
of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided
in Section 3.29, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred
in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to
a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or otherwise (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to
pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to
the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not
be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess, which it may
withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ix).
SECTION 3.19 |
Reports
to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Not
later
than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to
the
NIMS Insurer and, upon request, to the Trustee and the Depositor the most
current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to
any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement
is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer will deliver to the Trustee not later than March 15th
of each
calendar year, commencing in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual
Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year
and
of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’
supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
in all material respects throughout such year, 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 of cure provisions
thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions
or
limitations on its use. The Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement
of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delgated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee as described
above as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th
of such
year, the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such
Annual Statement of Compliance, but in no event later than March 20th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 (taking into account
the
cure period if permitted as set forth in the preceding paragraph) shall be
deemed an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights
the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance give notice to Noteholders
that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such objection is received,
the Trustee shall immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same (other than as provided
herein with respect to unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances or accrued
and unpaid Servicing Fees). This paragraph shall supercede any other provision
in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trustee and
their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person
may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer's obligations under this Section
3.20.
SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
Pursuant
to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or before March 15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the applicable Servicing
Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit S) during the preceding calendar year. The
Assessment of Compliance must contain the following:
(a) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(b) A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria, and
which will also be attached to the Assement of Compliance, to assess compliance
with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year,
including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect
thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities
it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans;
(d) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit S hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Servicer.
On
or
before March 15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee
a
report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that
attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer,
as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b)
of
Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with
standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.
The
Servicer shall cause and any Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined
by
the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor
an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided
above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall address each of the
Servicing Criteria applicable to the Sub-Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as to any subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function,” an Assessment of Compliance is not
required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with
respect to the Trust Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th
of such
year, the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such
Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than
March
25th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 (taking into account
the
cure period if permitted as set forth in the preceding paragraph) shall be
deemed an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights
the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, give notice to Noteholders
that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such objection is received,
the Indenture Trustee shall immediately terminate all the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same (other than
as
provided herein with respect to unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances
or
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees). This paragraph shall supercede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance (with respect to items
(a) - (d) but not (e) above) and Attestation Report, as and when provided above,
which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on
Exhibit S hereto which are indicated as applicable to the “trustee”.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any trustee, an Assessment of Compliance
is
not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with
respect to the Trust Fund.
Each
of
the Servicer and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor
and
the Trustee, as applicable and its officers, directors and Affiliates from
and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s or
the Trustee’s obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation; Filing of Reports by
Trustee.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
In
addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be
provided to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and to any Person identified to the
Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it,
at
the expense of the Person requesting such access.
SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall, subject to applicable laws,
be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any
REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the
third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of
such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee
and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and
addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect
that
the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on
“prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall separately account for all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any REO Property and shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO
Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period (subject to the
requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a)) as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the REO
Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt
thereof, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain, operate and dispose of such REO
Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall:
(A) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(B) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(C) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(D) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such action will not cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
REMIC, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in
such
Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(A) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(B) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(C) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(D) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees; provided,
however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Servicer.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit
into
the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01,
the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar
month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section
3.23(d).
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition
shall
be carried out by the Servicer in a manner, at such price and upon such terms
and conditions as shall be normal and usual in the Servicing
Standard.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii)
on
the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC
Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports
shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements
of
the Code.
SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
Not
later
than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”)
equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
for the related Distribution Date and (B) its aggregate Servicing Fee received
in the related Due Period. The Servicer shall not have the right to
reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating
Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds
and
distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not
be
obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.
SECTION 3.25 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.26 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is attributable to adjustments
to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were
made
by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of
notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the Collection Account from its
own
funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect
of
any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not
limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from
the
related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted
by
law.
SECTION 3.27 |
Solicitations.
|
From
and
after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it will not take any action
or
permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents and Affiliates,
or
by any independent contractors or independent mortgage brokerage companies
on
the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail or electronic mail,
solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing
such Mortgage Loan; provided,
that
the Servicer may solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a
request for verification of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a
mortgagor initiated written or verbal communication indicating a desire to
prepay the related Mortgage Loan, another mortgage company has pulled a credit
report on the mortgagor or the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided
further, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer
or any of its Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other
additional products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not
constitute solicitation under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited
from
responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent
of a Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in
its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may
solicit the Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan,
beginning 60 days prior to the later of (i) the expiration of the related
Prepayment Charge term, if applicable and (ii) 24 months following origination
of such Mortgage Loan and with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan,
the
Servicer may solicit the Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing such Mortgage
Loan, beginning 60 days prior to the later of (i) the expiration of the related
Prepayment Charge term, if applicable and (ii) the expiration of any applicable
fixed rate period.
SECTION 3.28 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.29 |
Advance
Facility.
|
The
Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, is hereby authorized to enter
into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”)
under which (1) the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another Person
(together with such Person’s successors and assigns, an “Advancing Person”) the
Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or
Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all
Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant
to this Agreement. No consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificateholders or any other party (other than the NIMS Insurer consent)
shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility. The
Servicer shall notify the NIMS Insurer and each other party to this Agreement
prior to or promptly after entering into or terminating any Advance Facility.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing
Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s
behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement.
If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing
Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or Servicing
Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement
Amounts” and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement
Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is
included in the Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement,
then the Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with
the
reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.11(a)(ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii)
and
remit such Reimbursement Amounts in accordance with Section 3.10(b) or otherwise
in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such
Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an “Advance Facility
Trustee”) designated by such Advancing Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Servicer may
direct, and if so directed the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay
to
the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant
to
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
no
event shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement
Amounts be included in the Available Funds or distributed to
Certificateholders.
If
the
terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by
the
Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to
the
Trust Fund’s entering such facility.
Reimbursement
Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would
be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the
Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in this Agreement, no
Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to this
Agreement. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any duty or liability
with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the
Depositor or the Trustee have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Reimbursement Amounts
to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The Servicer shall
maintain and provide to any successor servicer and (upon request) the Trustee
a
detailed accounting on a loan by loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold,
pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor
servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the
predecessor servicer, and the successor servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information. Any successor Servicer shall reimburse the
predecessor Servicer and itself for outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances,
respectively, with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a first in, first out
(“FIFO”) basis; provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written
notice from the predecessor Servicer or the Advancing Person of reimbursement
amounts owed to the predecessor Servicer. Liquidation Proceeds with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Advances outstanding with respect
to
that Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse Servicing Advances
outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan.
An
Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be
reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations
hereunder are limited to the funding or purchase of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a
subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
Upon
the
direction of and at the expense of the Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute
such acknowledgments provided by the Servicer recognizing the interests of
any
Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Servicer may

reduce the Certificate Principal Balances thereof.
(g) The
Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each
Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of
Certificateholders of the Regular 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 shall be made in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by
such Certificateholders.
(h) 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 Depositor or the Servicer shall have
any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable
law.
On

Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to
the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.10 shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of
the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(i) It
is the
intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates receive
all
principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is
not
otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC
Regular Interests and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal
and interest. If the Trustee determines that the Residual Certificates are
entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to any such distribution
to
any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending
distribution but shall make such distribution in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified in the following
sentence. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an amendment to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in the distribution
provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by acceptance of their
Certificates, and the Servicer(s), hereby agree to any such amendment and no
further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in
Section 11.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that
such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01 hereof.

SECTION 4.04 |
Remittance
Reports; Advances.
|
(a) By
the
third Business Day following each Determination Date, but in no event later
than
the earlier of (i) such date which would allow the indenture trustee to submit
a
claim to the NIMS Insurer under the Indenture so as to allow a timely payment
by
the NIMS Insurer under the insurance policy related to the notes insured by
the
NIMS Insurer and (ii) the 20th
day of
each month (or if such 20th
day is
not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver
to
the Trustee and the Trustee shall make available to the NIMS Insurer, by
telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the Servicer and the
Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the
related Distribution Date, which Remittance Reports the Trustee shall use in
preparing the statement pursuant to Section 4.03. No later than the 20th day
of
each month, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
in addition to the information provided on the Remittance Report, such other
information reasonably available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as
the
Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to (i)
make
the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01, (ii) to prepare the statements
to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.03 and (iii) to prepare the
Form
10-D contemplated by Section 4.07. The Trustee shall not be responsible to
recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the
Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related
Due
Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent
on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on the related Determination
Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired
during or prior to the related Due Period and as to which REO Property an REO
Disposition did not occur during the related Due Period, an amount equal to
the
excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most
recently ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property
transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon
Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due on
the
related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule for
such
Balloon Mortgage Loan.
On
or
before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if
any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the
related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the
total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by
the
Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn
by the Servicer as permitted in Section 3.11(a)(ii) in reimbursement for
Advances previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on
or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances
to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount
that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide
notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business
on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the
Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to
be
made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the
related Remittance Report.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the Mortgage Loan is paid
in
full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have been recovered, or a Final
Recovery Determination has been made thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee.

Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Supplemental
Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit: (i) the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Administration Agreement and (iii) $1,000. The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee, who initially, shall be the Trustee. No later than the Closing
Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain
a
separate, segregated trust account to be held in the Supplemental Interest
Trust, titled, “Swap Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, in trust for the registered
Certificateholders of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-OPT2, Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2006-OPT2.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and
funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not
be
commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys
of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held
uninvested.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i)
the
amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any
Swap
Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the
Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from
the
counterparty to a replacement interest rate swap agreement) from funds collected
and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination
of
Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with Section
4.01(e) hereof, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, dated as of
the
Closing Date (the “Swap Administration Agreement”), among Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company, in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, in its capacity as Swap Administrator and the
majority Holder of the Class C Certificates. For federal income tax purposes,
any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first
be
deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP
IO
to the extent of the amount distributable on REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP
IO on
such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the
Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined
below).
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or
(b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for
federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership. The
Supplemental Interest Trust will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning
of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
(c) To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, any obligation of the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
shall
be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
(d) The
Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class
C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) shall
be
treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of
the
Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the
amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 3 Regular Interest
corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on
such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO
Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro
rata
among
such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise
payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such
Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO
Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to
the
most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance
to
the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal
contract, the Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having
agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates
(other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates
from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract
shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within
the
meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates
(other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) of a
Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been
received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests
in
REMIC 3 and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator
pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other
than
the Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) shall be treated as
representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC 3, but also
ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional
principal contract.
SECTION 4.06 |
Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
|
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A and Mezzanine Certificate
is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular
interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each
Class
A and Mezzanine Certificates as follows: each Class A and Mezzanine Certificate
will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC 3 (regardless
of
any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment
in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the
obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap
Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), will be made by
one
or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC
subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any
such Class A or Mezzanine Certificate.
The
REMIC
regular interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate will be
entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the
amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except
that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal
the
Net WAC Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount
of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as
being payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the
foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular
interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the
actual amount of distributions on such Certificate
SECTION 4.07 |
Commission
Reporting.
|
(a) The
Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in
connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act.
(b) (i)
Within 12 calender days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a Distribution Report on Form
10-D, signed by the Depositor, with a copy of the monthly statement to be
furnished by the Trustee to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date.
Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required to be included
on
the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be determined and
prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the responsible party
for providing that information, if other than the Trustee, and the Trustee
will
have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency of any such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and the Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form 10-D resulting
from
or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information in a
timely manner from the party responsible for delivery of such Additional Form
10-D Disclosure.
Within
3
calendar days after the related Distribution Date, each entity that is indicated
in Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to
the
extent known, clearly identifying which item of Form 10-D the information
relates to, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. The Trustee
shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the Form 10-D and forward
the Form 10-D to the Depositor for verification. The Depositor will approve,
as
to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the Form 10-D. No
later than three Business Days prior to the 10th
calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall
sign
the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D
(with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly file any Form 10-D resulting from or relating to the Depositor’s
failure to timely comply with the provisions of this section.
(ii) Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Depositor shall prepare
and file any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, in addition to the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any
disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise
required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing that information.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than the end of business on the second Business Day after the occurrence
of a Reportable Event, the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be
required to provide to the Depositor, to the extent known, the form and
substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Depositor
shall compile the information provided to it, and prepare and file the Form
8-K,
which shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.
(iii) Prior
to
January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under
applicable law, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file
a
Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. On
or

shall have been filed, on or before March 15 of each year thereafter, the
Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an Annual Compliance Statement, together
with a copy of the Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report to be
delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and 3.21 (including with
respect to any Sub-Servicer or any subcontractor, if required to be filed).
Prior to (x) March 31, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice
shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall
file
a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities
and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations and conforming to industry
standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the
Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Annual Compliance Statements
and
other documentation provided by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and
3.21
(including with respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required to
be
filed) and Section 3.21 with respect to the Trustee, and the Form 10-K
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 (the “Certification”)
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
The
Trustee shall receive the items described in the preceding sentence no later
than March 15 of each calendar year prior to the filing deadline for the Form
10-K.
Any
disclosure or information in addition to that described in the preceding
paragraph that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in
Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing that information, if other
than
the Trustee, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability to verify the
accuracy or sufficiency of any such Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure.
If
information, data and exhibits to be included in the Form 10-K are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such
documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to
the
Trustee’s inability or failure to timely obtain any information from any other
party.
Prior
to
(x) March 1, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 1 of each year thereafter, each entity that
is
indicated in Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing Additional Form
10-K Disclosure shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the extent known, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile the information
provided to it, prepare the Form 10-K and forward the Form 10-K to the Depositor
for verification. The Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the Form 10-K by no later than March 25 of
the
relevant year (or the immediately preceding Business Day if March 25 is not
a
Business Day), an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable
to any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer delegated any of its responsibilities
with respect to the Mortgage Loans at any time, for purposes of disclosure
as
required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. The Trustee will provide
electronic or paper copies of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free of charge
to any Certificateholder upon request. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee
in
connection with the previous sentence shall be reimbursable to the Trustee
out
of the Trust Fund. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect
to
any failure to properly file any Form 10-K resulting from or relating to the
Depositor’s failure to timely comply with the provisions of this
section.
The
Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit N-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation
Report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign
a
certification (the “Servicer Certification) solely with respect to the Servicer
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-3) for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Trustee and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor or
the Trustee within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
their respective officers and directors. Each such certification shall be
delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee by March 15th
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). The
Certification attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 shall be delivered to the
Trustee by March 20th
for
filing on or prior to March 30th
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business

(c) (A)
The
Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon (i) a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 4.07 caused by
the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith or (ii) any material misstatement or omission in the Assessment of
Compliance delivered by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.21, and (B) the
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or
based upon (i) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Servicer
Certification or (ii) any material misstatement or omission in the Statement
as
to Compliance delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20, the Assessment
of Compliance delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21 or the Servicer
Certification. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i) the Trustee agrees that
it
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result
of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one
hand
and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee’s
obligations under this Section 4.07 caused by the Trustee’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the Servicer agrees
that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and
the
Trustee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor and the Trustee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Depositor and the Trustee on the one hand and the Servicer
on the other in connection with the Servicer Certification and the related
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 4.07.
Upon
any
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly
deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or
information.
SECTION 4.08 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for
registered Holders of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-OPT2 Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2006-OPT2” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class
A and
Mezzanine Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable
to the Class A or Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by
the
Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(iv), rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit
of
the Holders of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute
such
amounts to the Holders of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts
and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d).
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
C
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it
is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to the Holder
of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C
Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside
reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A and
Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to
the
Holders of the Class C Certificates or their designees. The Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC
and any payments to the Holders of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates of
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular
interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting
a
Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
Amounts
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates to receive payments from
the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount may have more than a de
minimis
value.
SECTION 4.09 |
Distributions
on the REMIC Regular Interests.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority,
the following amounts which shall be deemed to be distributed by REMIC 1 to
REMIC 2 on account of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates
(in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), as the case may be:
(i) to
Holders of each of REMIC 1 Regular Interest I and REMIC 1 Regular Interest
I-1-A
through I-43-B, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Accrued
Interest for such REMIC 1 Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus
(B)
any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous
Distribution Dates;
(ii) to
the
extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause
(A)
above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: first, to REMIC
1
Regular interests I-1-A through I-43-B starting with the lowest numerical
denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC
1
Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC 1 Regular
Interests with the same numerical denomination, such payments of principal
shall
be allocated pro rata between such REMIC 1 Regular Interests, and second, to
the
extent of the Overcollateralization Release Amounts, to REMIC 1 Regular Interest
I until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest
is
reduced to zero; and
(iii) to
the
Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-43-B, (A) on each Distribution Date,
100%
of the amount paid in respect of Prepayment Charges and (B) on the Distribution
Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as
identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter
until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority,
the following amounts which shall be deemed to be distributed by REMIC 2 to
REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates
(in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), as the case may be:
(i) to
the
Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTIO, in an amount equal to (A)
Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such REMIC 2 Regular Interest for such
Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid
from
previous Distribution Dates;
(ii) to
the
extent of Available Funds, to Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTA1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2

LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2
Regular Interest LTM7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM10, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM11, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTZZ and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, on a pro
rata
basis,
in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such
Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid
from
previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest
in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ shall be reduced and deferred when
the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Amount is less than the REMIC 2
Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such
difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount
and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTA1,
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2,
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTM5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM7,
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTM10 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM11, in the same proportion as
the
Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount is allocated to the Corresponding
Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTZZ shall be increased by such amount; and
(iii) to
the
Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of
the
Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant
to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:
(a) 98.00%
of
such remainder to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA and REMIC 2
Regular Interest LTP, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such
Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; provided, however,
that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution
Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as
identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTP, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this
clause;
(b) 2.00%
of
such remainder first, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA1, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2, REMIC 2
Regular Interest LTM3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTM5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM7, REMIC 2
Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTM10 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM11 of and in the same proportion as
principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC 2 Regular Interests are reduced
to zero, and second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, until
the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced
to
zero; and
(c) any
remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of
the
Class R-1 Interest);
provided,
however, that (i) 98.00% and (ii) 2.00% of any principal payments that are
attributable to an Overcollateralization Release Amount shall be allocated
to
Holders of (i) REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP,
in that order and (ii) REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, respectively; provided
that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution
Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as
identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTP, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this
clause.
SECTION 4.10 |
Allocation
of Realized Losses.
|

Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Regular Certificate
shall

Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to Net Swap Payments received under the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement; third, to the Class C Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to

SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
Each
of
the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class P Certificates,
the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially
in
the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor
concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund.
The
Class A and Mezzanine Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more
Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar
denomination of $25,000 and integral dollar multiples of $1.00 in excess
thereof, provided that Class A and Mezzanine Certificates must be purchased
in
minimum total investments of $100,000 per class, except that one Certificate
of
each such Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that
the
sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall
equal the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class on the Closing Date.
The
Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates
are
issuable in any Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all
such percentages for each such Class totals 100% and no more than ten
Certificates of each Class may be issued and outstanding at any one
time.
The
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the
time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated
by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates shall be
Book-Entry Certificates. The other Classes of Certificates shall not be
Book-Entry Certificates.
SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose
of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or
agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to
the
foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the offices designated
by
the Trustee and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of
the
conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage
Interest.
At
the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage
Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office
or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i)
with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate certificates,
each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1
Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest that was evidenced
by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class
R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above,
such Class R-X Certificate for three separate certificates, each representing
such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-4 Interest, the
Class R-5 Interest and the Class R-6 Interest that was evidenced by the Class
R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(b) Except
as
provided in paragraph (c) 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 Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such 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 Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative
of
the Certificate Owners of the 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 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
and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of
the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
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 a 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
(i)(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise the
Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the
“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar
of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, in the
case of (i) and (ii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate
the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee 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, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer,
any 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 Class M-10 Certificate,
Class
M-11 Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless such disposition
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer (other
than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by
the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Class R-X
Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), (i) unless such transfer is made
in
reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to
the
Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under the
1933
Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel
(which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer
may
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing 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 Trustee or the Depositor
or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor
certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the
transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result
if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the transferor
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit L hereto in respect of such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the transferee
will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations and
warranties set forth Exhibit J hereto in respect of such interest as if it
was
evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such
Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described above in this
Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing
Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Class M-10 or Class M-11
Certificate) or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan, any Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan
Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the
Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to
the
satisfaction of the Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is
permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel
will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer
of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer
of
any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or
an
Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate
thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a
Plan
or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee,
shall be a written representation) from the Transferor of the status of such
transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
Prior
to
the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, no Transfer of a Class
A or
Mezzanine Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the Trust Administrator
shall have received a representation from the transferee (in the form of Exhibit
M) of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan, or a Person
acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets a Plan, or (ii) the transferee
is
deemed to represent that the proposed transfer or holding of such Certificate
is
eligible for exemptive relief under an individual or class prohibited
transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, for the Offered
Certificates, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-00, XXXX
00-0, XXXX 95-60 or PTE 96-23 or for Class M-11 Certificates, PTCE
95-60.
Subsequent
to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, each Transferee of a
Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its
purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a)
such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets,
(b) in the case of a Certificate other than a Class M-11 Certificate it has
acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction
Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59, 55 Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by
PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765
(November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the
“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the
availability of the Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated,
at
the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a Rating
Agency or (c) the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is
an
insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such
Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general account” as
defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and
III
of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Mezzanine Certificate or Private Certificate or any interest therein is acquired
or held in violation of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs, 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 any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the two preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against
any
and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as
a
result of that acquisition or holding.
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
a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Person
shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such
Ownership Interest is a pro
rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer,
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of
the
following:
(A) an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the
effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who
is
not a Permitted Transferee; and
(B) a
covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee
agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable
to
the Residual Certificates.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a 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 a 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. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual 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 Trustee received the
documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover
from any Holder of a 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 Trustee
shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee 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 Trustee
to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 it shall not be liable to any Person having an
Ownership Interest in a 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
a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee 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.
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 Trustee
and
the NIMS Insurer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
NIMS
Insurer, (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 rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) 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.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.
SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Registrar 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 or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, 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 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 Trustee 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,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may
treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 |
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
(a) The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the amounts
of
such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include
the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to
above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent 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 trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the NIMS
Insurer.
(b) The
Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute
and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with
the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it
for

or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Servicer
or
the Depositor.

Any
entity into which the Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated,
or
any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
the
business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the

that
the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02 with
respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.
SECTION 6.03 |
Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and
Others.
|
Neither
the Servicer nor the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees
or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be under any liability to
the
Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the
taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor in good faith pursuant
to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Depositor, as
the
case may be, hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee
or
agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Servicer and the Depositor, and any director or officer
or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified
by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in
connection with (i) any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of
its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or by reason of its failure
to
perform its obligations or duties hereunder and (ii) any breach of a
representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer or the
Depositor may initiate any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless
the
Depositor or the Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of

to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent
provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account. The Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this
Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant
to
Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities
arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that

therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
and
to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.
Neither
the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining
from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance
upon information provided by Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement
or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its
obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management
Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information
furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement
in
the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
SECTION 6.04 |
Servicer
Not to Resign.
|
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries
or
Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict
being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to
the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer in writing and such proposed successor servicer
is
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer and (b) each Rating
Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer prior
to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed
appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result
in
the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates;
provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become
effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the
Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated, with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer, a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Except as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of
its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to
or
subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to
the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 |
Delegation
of Duties.
|
In
the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its
duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees
to
conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth
in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. Except as provided
in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegee
subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and
the
NIMS Insurer with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any
of
its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their
respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 6.06 |
[Reserved].

The
Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, shall afford the Trustee and the NIMS

hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such
obligations.
SECTION 6.08 |
Credit
Risk Manager.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and
recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans,
and
as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information
provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management
Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer for
all
information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data)
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of
the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager,
the Trustee, if it has been notified in writing of such termination or
appointment, shall give written notice thereof to the Servicer and the
Depositor.
If
Holders of the Certificates entitled to 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights
request in writing to the Trustee to terminate the Credit Risk Manager under
this Agreement, the Credit Risk Manager shall be removed pursuant to this
Section 6.08. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide
written notice to the Credit Risk Manager and the Servicer of the Credit Risk
Manager’s removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the
Credit Risk Manager.

or a successor servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall

not less than 51%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to
the
Trustee if given by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this
Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating
Agency, the Depositor and the Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer
(and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written
notice, all authority and power of the 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 pursuant to and under this Section; and, without
limitation, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and
all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage
Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination
of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of all documents and records requested
by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement
within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one
Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable
successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall
at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection
Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Servicing Account
or
that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received
by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received
by the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor
Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the
predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation
of
reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid
by the Servicer, by the Trust.
SECTION 7.02 |
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
(a) From
the
time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives
a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such
other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement)
shall
be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on
and
after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree
that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume
all of the obligations of the Servicer to make advances. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be
responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain
through reasonable efforts. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto
that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the
transition of servicing obligations is fully effective. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled
to
such compensation as the 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 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 $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of
any
such successor Servicer shall be approved by the NIMS Insurer (such approval
not
to be unreasonably withheld), as evidenced by the prior written consent of
the
NIMS Insurer, and will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal
of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced
by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of
a
successor to the Servicer hereunder, 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 Servicer would otherwise
have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the
Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The
appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the
predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its
termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant
to Section 3.14, to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06 or to
indemnify the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer pursuant to Section 8.05(c)), nor
shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such 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.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be
paid
by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from
the assets of the Trust).
(b) Any
successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall during the term of
its
service as 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
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees
and
agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
3.14.
SECTION 7.03 |
Waiver
of Defaults.
|
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that
the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate and the consent of the NIMS Insurer. Upon any waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies
and the NIMS Insurer.
SECTION 7.04 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the
Certificate Register, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency.
(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 a Servicer Event of
Termination for five Business Days after 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 to the NIMS Insurer notice of such occurrence
unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived
or
cured.
SECTION 7.05 |
Survivability
of Servicer Liabilities.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder,
any
liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall
survive such termination.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01 |
Duties
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after
the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which
has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has 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.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee 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 the Trustee will not
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 shall take such action as it deems appropriate
to
have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the
Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of
all
such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders relating to
the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to
the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer
to
comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii)
of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Event of Termination
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice
of such failure from the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the
Majority Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial 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 adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform,
or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations
of
the 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 Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 8.02 |
Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
|
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the
Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
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 may
prescribe;
(ii) the
Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel;

Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
applicable shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
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;
(iv) the
Trustee shall not 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;

to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Majority
Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee 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,
not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of
this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost,
expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
(if
requested by the NIMS Insurer) or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed
by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer (if requested by the NIMS Insurer) upon
demand and, if not reimbursed by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer (if requested
by the NIMS Insurer), shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in this clause
(v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
(vi) the
Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no
representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until
such
time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02
and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer;
(vii) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians
or
nominees;
(viii) 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 such
act;
(ix) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the REO Account made
at
the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(x) the
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could
be
deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as

or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using

order
to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain
and verify certain information and documentation from the other parties hereto,
including, but not limited to, such parties’ name, address and other identifying

SECTION 8.03 |
Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication
of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of
this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
or
related document or MERS or the MERS System other than with respect to the
Trustee’s execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use
or
application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans
or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The
Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any
Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance
of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency
of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence
and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of
the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment;
the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any
Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Originator
or
the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement
or in
any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation
prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any
non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by
or
at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being
understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property
that
it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of
the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub- Servicer taken in the name of the
Trustee; the failure of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform
any
duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the
Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee
shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation
to
perform its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Trustee’s duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless
the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer).
SECTION 8.04 |
Trustee
May Own Certificates.
|
The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee
and
may transact any banking and trust business with the Originator, the Servicer,
the Depositor or their Affiliates.
SECTION 8.05 |
Trustee
Compensation, Custodial Fee and
Expenses.
|
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, prior to making any distributions to Certificateholders,
the
Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to itself the
Trustee Compensation payable on such Distribution Date consisting of all income
earned on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall
be
provided a copy of the separate fee schedule between the Depositor and the
Custodian. The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each
Distribution Date and pay to the Custodian, the Custodial Fee prior to making
any distributions to Certificateholders.
(b) The
Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, shall
be
indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or
expense (not including expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability
or
expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties
under this Agreement for which the Trustee is indemnified under Section 8.05(b)
or (ii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in
the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder
or as a
result of a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under Article X hereof. It is
understood by the parties hereto that a “claim” as used in the preceding
sentence includes any claim for indemnification made by the Custodian under
Section 22 of the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall
not lose any right it may have to indemnification under this Section 8.05 due
to
the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Custodian in the
performance of its duties under the Custodial Agreement or by reason of the
Custodian’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Custodial
Agreement. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided
by
this Section 8.05(a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from
the
Trust Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the
Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing indemnity
shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
(c) The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Custodian or
any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or
Custodian from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Servicer for
actions prior to such resignation or removal. Any payment hereunder made by
the
Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
SECTION 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
|
The
Trustee 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 trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports
of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed
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 and the NIMS Insurer at the time such Trustee
is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity
under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the
Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS
Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee.
If
no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor or the NIMS Insurer if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable
to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor, the Servicer
or the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor, the Servicer
or
the NIMS Insurer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Depositor, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The
Majority Certificateholders (or the NIMS Insurer upon the failure of the Trustee
to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee by
written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor
and
the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint
a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer in accordance with this
Section.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee.
|
Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the Servicer and
to
its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become
effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor
Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by either
Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section
8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown
in
the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
|
Any
entity into which the Trustee 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 shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
8.08, 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 or
any
Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the
NIMS
Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and
to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the
written approval of the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Servicer and
the
NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The
Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed hereunder.
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 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 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
Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly and with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer, may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the 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, the Servicer and the 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 Trustee, not in its individual capacity but
solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of the undertakings
and
agreements made on the part of the Trustee 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.
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, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment
has
been recovered.
(b) The
Trustee shall afford the Originator, the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable prior notice during normal
business hours, 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,
the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and any requesting Certificateholder with its
most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the
Originator, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder and shall make available to the Originator, the Servicer,
the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer 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 Originator, the Depositor, the Servicer 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.
SECTION 8.13 |
Suits
for Enforcement.
|
In
case a
Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Depositor
hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, shall, at the direction
of
the Majority Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, or may, proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders or the NIMS
Insurer under this Agreement 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, the NIMS Insurer 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, 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, or any part thereof, may
be
located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the
Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner
whatsoever.
SECTION 8.16 |
Appointment
of the Custodian.
|
The
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Depositor and with the consent of the
Servicer, appoint the Custodian to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files.
The appointment of the Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor at the direction of the Depositor to the Trustee,
the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Custodian shall
be
entitled to its fees and expenses in accordance with the Custodial Agreement,
which fees and expenses shall be paid to the Custodian from the Trust in
accordance with Section 8.05. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees
to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, which agreement may be
amended from time to time, and shall have the right 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 the
Custodian. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Custodian is not an agent of the Trustee and in no event shall the Trustee
be
liable for any acts, omission, duties, obligations, or liabilities of the
Custodian. In no event shall the appointment of the Custodian pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee
hereunder.

judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining
any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) to the
extent provided in Section 8.05.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax
and information returns (including Form 8811) as the direct representative
each

Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC

Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to
REMIC 4, REMIC 5 and REMIC 6and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 4,
REMIC 5 and REMIC 6. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall
perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties
that are the responsibility of 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 Trustee, as agent for the Tax
Matters Person, 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 person
or
organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports
as
are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as agent for the
Tax

proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any
REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency,
extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and
otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving
the
Trust.
(f) The
Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action
or
cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status
of
each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other
as
necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicer
nor the Holder of any 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 (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and
the
tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer and the Servicer 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 endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a
tax.
In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created
hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action,
which
is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of
a
Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any
REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to
take
any such action as to which the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities.
To
the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs
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 the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in the event
that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result
of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of California
for
state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer, the Servicer
agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local
taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that the Holder
of the related Residual Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any, when
imposed.
(h) The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, 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) Neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any
REMIC

Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided
by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or

performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the

TERMINATION
SECTION 10.01 |
Termination.
|
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor
and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and
the
obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular
Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the Assumed
Final Maturity Date as defined in the Preliminary Statement. 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.
The
Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement on any 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 aggregate Stated
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, by purchasing,
on
the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and
REO Properties at a price equal to 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) fair market
value
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon
in
their good faith business judgment (determined as provided in the last sentence
of this paragraph) 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(c) by (x) the Terminator,
(y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates
and (z) if the Floating-Rate Certificates will not receive all amounts owed
to
it as a result of the termination, the Trustee (provided that if this clause
(z)
applies to such determination, such determination shall, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, be based solely upon an appraisal obtained
as
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph)), plus 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 unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts and any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider 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 principal balance of,
each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to
the
NIMS Insurer (as it notifies the Trustee and Servicer in writing). If the
determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Terminator, the Holders
of a
majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the Trustee
as
provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, such determination
shall be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C
Certificates and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such
appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, the Trustee may solely and conclusively rely
on,
and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal in making such
determination.
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the
Terminator shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit
in the Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred
immediately preceding such purchase.
Any
such
purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on
the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination
Price.
(b) Notice
of
any termination, 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 Trustee 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 Terminator, by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day and
not later than the 25th
day of
the month next 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 Trustee 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 Trustee therein
specified.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee 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 4.01 for such Distribution Date.
By
acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual
Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign
and
transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage Loans, and
to
the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(d) In
the
event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution
Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be
withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by
depositing such funds in a separate Servicing Account for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give
a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall
be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders
shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.
SECTION 10.02 |
Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with
the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes
on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code
or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within
90
days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Terminator shall adopt and the
Trustee shall sign a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC created
hereunder meeting the requirements of a “Qualified Liquidation” under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and
(ii) At
or
after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or
prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets
of the Trust Fund to the Terminator for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan
of complete liquidation.
(b) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the
Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete
liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their
attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take such other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such
plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms
hereof.

any
provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions herein (iii) to amend the provisions of Section 3.22(b) or (iv)
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; provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (a)
an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (b) written notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from each 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, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. No
amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will
be
required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section
3.22(b).
In
addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,

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;

manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates
or
distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material

the
Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
from each 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) 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 66% 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
Agencies.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent
to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking
such
Amendment and satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created
hereunder constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
or cause any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the Trust 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.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 4.05 or
Section 11.10 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap
Provider.
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
Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the
expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
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 may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this

to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-OPT2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-OPT2
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior
to
the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this
Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
person
using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to have made
the
representation made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Principal Balance of
the
Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in
whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates
have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of
the
last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv) the Distribution

in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein.
Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class M-9 Certificate

evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the

This

evidenced by this Class M-9 Certificate (obtained by dividing the Denomination
of this Class M-9 Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal
Balance) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust consisting
primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp.
(the “Depositor”). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing

made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made
in
reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure
compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the
transfer. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.

of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and

surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,

of

a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case of

2.02(v) above, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the
Trustee or the Custodian, 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

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
promptly
upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage

or that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Originator shall have
90 days
to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Purchaser.

Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Purchaser
hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest to
the
Mortgage Loans and other property, now existing and hereafter created,
conveyed
to it pursuant to Section 2.01.
The
parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a sale by
the
Sellers to the Purchaser of all the applicable Seller’s right, title and
interest in and to the related Mortgage Loans and other property described
above. In the event the transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be
a sale,
each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of
such
Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the related Mortgage Loans
and other property described above, whether now existing or hereafter created,
to secure all of such Seller’s obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
The
Originator shall cause the Assignments which were delivered in blank to
be
completed and shall cause all Assignments referred to in Section 2.02(iii)
hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.02(iv) hereof to be recorded.
The Originator shall be required to deliver such assignments for recording
within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such Assignment
is
lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Originator
shall
promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured,
as the
case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation
of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall
not
be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage
Loan located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in
a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class
of
Certificates; provided,
however,
each
Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Originator in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest

least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as
described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (v) upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and
(vi)
upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90
days or
more Delinquent. Upon receipt of written notice from the Purchaser that
recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or more of the
conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the related Seller shall
be
required to deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly
and in any event within 30 days following receipt of such notice. The related
Seller shall furnish the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee),

representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the
value
of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially

adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage
Loan in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage

Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, the Originator
shall
use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects

if such breach cannot be cured, the Originator shall, at the Purchaser’s option,
repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as defined in the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement). In the event that a breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 3.02 and such breach
cannot
be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the
Originator of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s
option be repurchased by the Originator at the Purchase Price (as defined
in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Originator may, at the request of

reports required to be delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement are not obtained or if any of the related

Payment
was due, then such Mortgage Loan will be repurchased by the Originator

such Mortgage Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall expire 180 days following
the Closing Date.

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Originator shall effect such substitution

other documents and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing

such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following
the date
of such substitution. Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Originator.

the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution,
and the Originator shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received by the Originator in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall
be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator
shall
be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations
and
warranties set forth in Subsections 3.01 and 3.02.

is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files
to the Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser.

is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originator set forth
in this
Section 3.04 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage
Loan
and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in Section 5.01 constitute the
sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or

WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS

officers
and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within
the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act,
as follows:
(i) against
any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or
several,
to which the Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under
the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, but not limited to,
any
loss, claim, expense, damage or liability related to purchases and sales
of the
Certificates) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement,
or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon,
the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading,
to the extent that any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement therein
results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an error or material omission
in
the information concerning the Originator Information furnished by the
Originator to the Purchaser for use in the preparation of the Prospectus
Supplement, which error was not superseded or corrected by the delivery
to the
Purchaser of corrected written or electronic information, or for which
the
Originator provided written notice of such error to the Purchaser prior
to the
confirmation of the sale of the Certificates; and will reimburse the Purchaser
and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage. liability or action

any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, to the
extent
of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation
or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
or of
any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission,
or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected
with
the written consent of the Purchaser; and
(iii) against
any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel
chosen by the Purchaser), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing
or
defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body. commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid
under
clause (i) or clause (ii) above.
This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Originator
may otherwise have.
(b) Promptly
after receipt by any indemnified party under this Article V of notice of
any
claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall,
if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this
Article V, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the
commencement of that action; provided,
however,
that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Article V except to the extent it
has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that
the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article
V.
If
any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to
the indemnified party under this Article V for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless:
(i) the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying
party in
writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised in writing
by such
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which
are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party
and in
the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified
party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed
to
assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies
the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel
at the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party,
it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one
separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for
all
such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by
the
Purchaser, if the indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the
Purchaser, by the Originator, if the indemnified parties in this Article
V
consist of the Originator, or be the related Seller Trust, if the indemnified
parties in this Article V consist of such Seller Trust.

indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained
in
Section 5.01 (a) and (b) hereof, shall use its best efforts to cooperate
with
the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees
to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an
indemnifying party to consent to a settlement of any action, the indemnifying
party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if such settlement is entered into
more
than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid
request
and the indemnifying party has not previously provided the indemnified
party
with written notice of its objection to such settlement. No indemnifying
party
shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect
of which an indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity
is or
could have been sought hereunder, without the written consent of such
indemnified party, unless settlement includes an unconditional release
of such
indemnified party from all liability and claims that are the subject matter
of
such proceeding.
(c) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which
the
indemnity agreement provided for in this Article is for any reason held
to be
unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms, each Seller
Trust and the Originator, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other,
shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages
and
expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred
by the
related Seller Trust, the Originator and the Purchaser in such proportions
as
shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by each
Seller
Trust and the Originator on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other
from the
sale of the Mortgage Loans; provided,
however,
that no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11
(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
Section, each officer and director of the Purchaser and each person, if
any, who
controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser and each director
of
the Originator, each officer of the Originator, and each person, if any,
who
controls the Originator within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Originator and each director
of the related Seller Trust, each officer of such Seller Trust, and each
person,
if any, who controls such Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the related
Seller.
(d) The
Originator agrees to indemnify and to hold each of the Purchaser, the Trustee,
each of the officers and directors of each such entity and each person
or entity
who controls each such entity or person and each Certificateholder harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal
fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that
the
Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such person or entity and any Certificateholder
may sustain in any way (i) related to the failure of the Originator to
perform
its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) arising
from a
breach by the Originator of its representations and warranties in Sections
3.01
and 3.02 of this Agreement. The Originator shall immediately notify the
Purchaser, the Trustee and each Certificateholder if a claim is made by
a third
party with respect to this Agreement. The Originator shall assume the defense
of
any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment
or
decree which may be entered against the Purchaser, the Trustee or any such
person or entity and/or any Certificateholder in respect of such
claim.

the
Originator is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or

or any
Person succeeding to the business of the related Seller or the Originator.

parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage
Loans
for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue a series
of
Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As
an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the related
Seller
and the Originator acknowledge and consent to the assignment by the Purchaser
to
the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against each Seller and the
Originator pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to
Mortgage
Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of
any right
or remedy against each Seller or the Originator pursuant to this Agreement
by

have the
same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
The
Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser and to any subsequent
Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date for such
Mortgage Loan:
(1) The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and
correct as of the Cut-off Date;
(2) Except
with respect to payments not yet 30 days past due, all payments required
to be
made up to the close of business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage
Loan
under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; the Originator has
not
advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds
from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly
or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage; and except with respect to payments not yet 30 days past due,
there
has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment
by the
Mortgagor thereunder since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(3) As
of the
origination date of the Mortgage Loan there were no delinquent taxes, ground
rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold
payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other
outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property, and as of
the
Closing Date there are no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums, or other
outstanding charges jeopardizing the lien position of the Mortgage Loan,
and to
the best knowledge of the Originator, as of the Closing Date, there are
no
ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, leasehold payments,
including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding
charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(4) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the
applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority
of
the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Trustee; the substance
of any
such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title
insurer,
to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has
been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
in
connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer,
to the
extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered
to the Trustee and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule;
(5) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
Each
Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible,
enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local
law;
(6) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property
is located, pursuant to insurance policies providing coverage in an amount
not
less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements
to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B)
with
respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of the first lien Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance
of
the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the
operation
of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
and
consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date
of
origination in accordance with the underwriting guidelines of the originator
or
(iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to
the
improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis.
All
such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
Flood
Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance
has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect
which
policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The
Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s
cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(7) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with;
(8) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(9) The
Mortgage (including any negative amortization which may arise thereunder)
is a
valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator
to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B)
second
lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage
Loan
which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien (as reflected
on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including
all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien
of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable
to
mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in
the
lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and which do not adversely affect the Value of the Mortgaged Property,
(c) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be
a
second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
a first
lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits
of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case,
as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property described therein
and
the Originator has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
The
Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage
Loan,
subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security
instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
(10) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms;
(11) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who executed the related
Mortgage either in an individual capacity or, provided that the related
Mortgage
is guaranteed by a natural person, as trustee for a family trust;
(12) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(13) As
of the
Closing Date and immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan hereunder,
the applicable Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner
of the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell
the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(14) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
“doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(15) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an Adjustable-Rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1) or
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property
is
located in California a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx
Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and
qualified
to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with
respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Originator, its
successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien (as indicated
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount
of
the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan,
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien
resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
in the
Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment and negative amortization provisions
of the
Mortgage Note. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively
insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
The
Originator is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy,
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Originator,
has done,
by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s
title insurance policy;
(16) As
of the
Closing Date, there
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Originator
has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date (i) the related
first
lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien
mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder,
and
either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or
(B)
applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan
to
receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any
default
by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage. For purposes
of
the foregoing, a delinquent payment of less than thirty (30) days on a
Mortgage
Loan in and of itself does not constitute a default, breach, violation
or event
of acceleration (or an event which, with the passage of time or with notice
and
the expiration of any grace or cure period, has occurred that would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration) with respect to such
Mortgage Loan;
(17) As
of the
Closing Date, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
law
could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which are
or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
related
Mortgage;
(18) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Value of the related
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(19) The
Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the Originator (and if acquired
by
the Originator, the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects
with
the Originator’s underwriting guidelines, and if a first-lien Mortgage Loan, is
eligible for inclusion under a Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act
eligible transaction) or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank,
a
commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and
examined
by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by
the
Secretary of HUD;
(20) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is not a
negative
amortization loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each
month,
or such other day of each month as may be specified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the
interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate,
and, in
the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment
Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan
during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Rate. With respect to each negative amortization Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the
period
following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any negative
amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to
pay
interest at the related Mortgage Rate; provided, that the Monthly Payment
shall
not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount of the Monthly
Payment that was due immediately prior to the Adjustment Date; provided,
further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable with respect
to
the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a year in which
the
Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of 5 years and in any
such
year the Monthly Payment shall be adjusted to fully amortize the Mortgage
Loan
over the remaining term. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified
on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other period specified
on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only
period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate. The Index for each Adjustable-Rate
Mortgage Loan is as defined in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage
Loan is a
convertible Mortgage Loan;
(21) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Originator
with
respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage including, without limitation,

deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession
of, or under the control of, the Originator and there exist no deficiencies
in
connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof
have
not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or
payments due the Originator have been capitalized under any Mortgage or
the
related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are
being
held by the Originator for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not
been
completed;
(22) As
of the
Closing Date, the
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste and there is no
proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
(23) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Since
the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has
not
been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and
the
Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.
There
is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage. As of the Closing Date, the Mortgagor
has
not notified the Originator and the Originator has no knowledge of any
relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief
Act;
(24) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting standards

any loan
made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the
approval
or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications
of
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made
in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;
(27) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(28) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are
(a)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor,

Loan to
regard the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage
Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the Mortgage
Loan;

Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to Value Ratio or a Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio

principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have
been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest

Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature, except for 17.75% of the Mortgage

(55) Any
Mortgaged Property that is considered manufactured housing shall be legally
classified as real property, is permanently affixed to a foundation and
must
assume that characteristics of site-built housing and must otherwise conform
to
the requirements (A) for inclusion in residential mortgage backed securities
transactions rated by S&P and (B) of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, including,
but not limited to, the requirements that (i) the related Mortgage Note
or
contract, as applicable, be secured by a “single family residence” within the
meaning of Section 25(e)(10) of the Code, (ii) the fair market value of
the
manufactured home securing each related Mortgage Note or contract, as
applicable, was at least equal to 80% of the original principal balance
of such
Note or contract, as applicable, and (iii) each related Mortgage Note or
contract, as applicable, is a “qualified mortgage” under Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code;
(56) Each
Mortgage Loan is eligible for sale in the secondary market without unreasonable
credit enhancement;
(57) All
points, fees and charges related to each Mortgage Loan (whether or not
financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination
and
servicing of each Mortgage Loan) were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor
in
accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Except
as
otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and in the case of a
Mortgage
Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have
resulted in an unprofitable origination, no
Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount
greater than 5% of the principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan, such
5%
limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae ‘s anti-predatory lending
requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Selling Guide;
(58) Except
as
set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are
subject
to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior to October
1,
2002 that is subject to a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty does
not
extend beyond five years after the date of origination. For any Mortgage
Loan
originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject to a prepayment
penalty, such prepayment penalty does not extend beyond three years after
the
date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a
provision
permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity:
(i)
prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such premium
in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate
or fee
reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor was
offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not require payment
of
such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the Mortgagor
in
the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv)
notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Originator
shall
not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt
is
accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s default in making the loan
payments;
(59) The
Originator has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws
and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Originator has established
an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection
with
the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor
and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property
in
question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224
(the
“Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC
Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations,
and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or
the
OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC
Regulations;
(60) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by real property or secured by a manufactured
home
located in the state of Georgia unless (x) such Mortgage Loan was originated
prior to October 1, 2002 or after March 6, 2003, or (y) the property securing
the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the Mortgagor as the
Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”). Each
Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan” under the Georgia Act complies with all
applicable provisions of the Georgia Act. No Mortgage Loan subject to the
Georgia Act and secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied
manufactured home located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified)
on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;
(61) No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a
lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of the
Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(62) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(63) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan which is secured by manufactured housing,
such
Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements for inclusion in residential mortgage
backed securities transactions rated by S&P;
(64) No
Mortgage Loan (a) is secured by property located in the State of New York;
(b)
had an unpaid principal balance at origination of $300,000 or less, and

Loan
equal or exceed either the APR or the points and fees threshold for “high-cost
home loans”, as defined in Section 6-1 of the New York State Banking
Law;
(65) The
Originator will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,

as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),

Section 4.1a;

Loan
that is secured by property located within the State of Maine meets the
definition of a (i) “high-rate, high-fee” mortgage loan under Article VIII,
Title 9-A of the Maine Consumer Credit Code or (ii) “High-Cost Home Loan” as

negative amortization, the Combined Loan-to Value Ratio was calculated

public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a
copy of
such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be
a true

Loans) been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned

of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied
upon (1)
delivery to the Custodian no later than the Closing Date (or Subsequent
Transfer
Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans), of a copy of each such
document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete

shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, the original or a copy

by
the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified
copy
thereof to be delivered to the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof.
The
Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting
a part
of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including,

a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall notify
the
Servicer and the Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Originator
under
the Purchase Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such missing document
to
the Trustee or the Custodian within 120 days. If the Originator does not
cure
such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the
Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Originator to either repurchase
or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “defect” shall mean a
failure of a document to correspond to the information set forth in the
applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule or the absence in a Mortgage File of
any
document required pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing,
it is understood that the Custodian shall have no duty to discover any
such
defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage Files
to
the extent set forth herein.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document
submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate
public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within
365 days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot
provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within
such 365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365
day
period, an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately
deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer
shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer
to be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
The
Custodian hereby agrees to its duties under Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans.

that, in conducting such review, the Custodian was not under any duty or
obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,

or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually
been
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face
or
(ii) to determine whether any Custodial File should include any of the
documents
specified in clause (v) of Section 2.

specifically identified on such Final Trust Receipt as not covered by such
Final
Trust Receipt): (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant

respect
to the Custodial File, the Custodian shall give written specification of
such
defect to the Servicer and the Trustee. For purposes of this Section, “defect”

forth in
the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule or the absence in a Mortgage File
of any
document required pursuant to this Agreement.

asserted against it or them directly relating to or arising out of this
Custodial Agreement or any action taken or not taken by it or them hereunder
unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements were imposed on, incurred
by
or asserted against the Custodian because of the breach by the Custodian
of its
obligations hereunder, which breach was caused by negligence, lack of good
faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian or any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees. The indemnification set forth in this section
shall survive any termination or
assignment of
this
Custodial Agreement and the termination or removal of the

The
Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Trust Fund and Trustee, its
employees, officers and directors harmless against liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses

for

indemnification shall survive any termination or assignment of this Agreement
or
the removal or resignation of the Custodian hereunder.
24. Reliance
of Custodian.
(i) The
Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instructions,
certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably
believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by
the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement; but in the case of any loan document or other request, instruction,
document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required
to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to
examine
the same to determine, subject to the limitations on the Custodian’s obligations
set forth herein, whether or not it conforms to the requirements of this
Agreement.
(ii) The
Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Custodian shall have no
responsibility nor duty with respect to any Custodial File while such Custodial
File is not in its possession. If the Custodian requests instructions from
the
Trustee
with
respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with this Agreement,
the Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and
continue
to refrain from acting unless and until the Custodian shall have received
written instructions from the Trustee
with
respect to a Custodial File without incurring any liability therefor to
the
Trustee
or any
other Person.
(iii) Other
than as provided herein, neither the Custodian nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action or omission
to act
hereunder except for its or their own negligence or lack of good faith
or
willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees have any responsibility to ascertain or take
action except as expressly provided herein.
(iv) Neither
the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement. The obligations of the Custodian
or any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be determined solely
by
the express provisions of this Agreement. No representation, warranty,
covenant,
agreement, obligation or duty of the Custodian or any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be implied with respect to this Agreement
or
the Custodian’s services hereunder.
(v) The
Custodian, its directors, officers, agents and employees shall be under
no duty
or obligation to inspect, review or examine the Custodial Files to determine
that the contents thereof are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have been actually recorded or that they
are
other than what they purport to be on their face.
(vi) The
Custodian may consult with counsel selected by the Custodian with regard
to
legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and
the
advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and
protection in respect of any action reasonably taken, omitted or suffered
by the
Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith.
(vii) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk
its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability (other than expenses or
liabilities otherwise required to be incurred by the express terms of this
Agreement) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it
shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.
(viii) Any
corporation into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with
which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Custodian shall be the successor of the
Custodian hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any
party
hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except
where
an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such
succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(ix) The
Custodian shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance
resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include, but not
limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism,
epidemics, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, governmental
regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures,
computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes and other disasters.

Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for, and makes no representation
or
warranty with respect to, the validity, adequacy or perfection of any lien
upon
or security interest in any Mortgage File.

Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports
or
returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to
this
Agreement, other than for the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of
expenses.
(xii) The
duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly
set
forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this
Agreement
executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns. In the
event that any provision of this Agreement implies or requires that action
or
forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to which party has the
duty to
act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that the Custodian shall
not be
the party required to take the action or refrain from acting. In no event
shall the Custodial have any responsibility to ascertain or take actions
except
as expressly provided herein.
(xiii) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to
qualify

Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
[_] The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax
rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used
by the
Transferee.
[_] The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross
assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a
person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets
in
excess of $10 million;
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good
faith.
|
[_] None
of
the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I
of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this

Service, Inc. has been provided notice of the same and confirms in writing
(including by facsimile transmission) that it will not downgrade, qualify,

(iii) Additional
Termination Events. Additional
Termination Events will apply:

below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect
to
Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such
Additional Termination Event.
(iv) Rating
Agency Downgrade.
In
the
event that Party A’s short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is
reduced below "A-1" by S&P (or if its short-term rating is not available by
S&P, in the event that its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A+” by S&P), or Party A’s short-term
unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to or below “P1 on watch for
downgrade” by Moody’s or Party A’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
rating is reduced to or below “A1 on watch for downgrade” by Moody’s (or if its
short-term rating by Xxxxx’x is not available, in the event that its long-term
unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to or below “Aa3 on watch
for downgrade” by Moody’s) such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating
Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade
(unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal or downgrade S & P has
reconfirmed its rating for the Certificates which was in effect immediately
prior to such withdrawal or downgrade), Party A shall, subject to the Rating
Agency Condition, at its own expense:
(a) assign
this Transaction to another counterparty, which counterparty shall have
the
Approved Rating Thresholds and shall have been approved by Party B on terms
substantially similar to the terms of this Confirmation;
(b) obtain
a
guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved
Rating Thresholds, to honor Party A’s obligations under this Confirmation;
provided that such other person has been approved by Party B;
(c) post
collateral which will be sufficient to S & P and Moody’s to maintain or
restore the ratings of the Certificates existing immediately prior to such
withdrawal or downgrade of Party A’s ratings; or
(d) establish
any other arrangement satisfactory to S & P and Moody’s, in each case,
sufficient to maintain or restore the ratings of the Certificates existing
immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade of Party A’s
ratings.
Notwithstanding
the previous paragraph, in the event that Party A’s short-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A-3” by S&P or, if
there is no short-term rating, its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated
debt
rating is withdrawn or reduced below “BBB-” by S&P, then within 10 days of
such rating withdrawal or downgrade (unless, within 10 days after such
withdrawal or downgrade S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the Notes which
was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade), Party A
shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition, at its own expense, assign
this
Transaction to another counterparty with the Approved Rating Thresholds
on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation and obtain a confirmation from
S&P that such action is sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately
prior ratings of the Certificates.
For
purposes of these provisions, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to
any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder in connection
with a
withdrawal or downgrade of any of Party A’s ratings as described above that
Party A must consult with and receive from S
&
P
and Moody’s a written confirmation, prior to taking any such action, that such
withdrawal or downgrade of any of Party A’s ratings, after giving effect to any
such proposed action or omission, would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal
of
the ratings of the Certificates existing immediately prior to such withdrawal
or
downgrade of Party A’s ratings.

WHEREAS,
the Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and
for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which
are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of April 1, 2006 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among
Financial Asset Securities Corp., as Depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation,
as servicer, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee relating
to the

2006-OPT2 (the “Certificates”), or in the related Indenture as the case may be,

2. |
Swap
Administrator.
|
(a) The
Swap
Administrator is hereby irrevocably appointed to receive all funds paid
to the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee by HSBC, or its successors in interest
(the
“Swap Provider”) under the Swap Agreement (including any Swap Termination
Payment) and the Swap Administrator hereby accepts such appointment and
hereby
agrees to receive such amounts and to distribute on each Distribution Date

of the
following amounts remaining outstanding after distribution of the Net Monthly
Excess Cashflow: (A) Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amounts, (B) Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts; (C) an
amount
necessary to maintain or restore the Overcollateralization Target Amount;
and
(D) any
Allocated Realized Loss Amounts;
(ii) second,
to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., as majority holder of the Class C
Certificates, any amounts remaining after payment of (i) above, provided,
however,
upon the
issuance of notes by an issuer (the “Trust”), secured by all or a portion of the
Class C Certificates and the Class P Certificates (the “NIM Notes”), Greenwich
Capital Markets, Inc., as majority holder of the Class C Certificates,
hereby
instructs the Swap Administrator to make any payments under this clause
2(a)(ii):
(A) to
the
Indenture Trustee for the Trust, for deposit into the Note Account (each
as
defined in the related Indenture), for distribution in accordance with
the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement until satisfaction and discharge
of the
Indenture; and
(B) after
satisfaction and discharge of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the
Holders of the Class C Certificates, pro
rata
based on
the outstanding Notional Amount of each such Certificate.
(b) The
Swap
Administrator agrees to hold any amounts received from the Supplemental
Interest
Trust Trustee in trust upon the terms and conditions and for the exclusive
use
and benefit of the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable (in
turn for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders and the NIMS Insurer,
if
any) as set forth herein. The rights, duties and liabilities of the Swap
Administrator in respect of this Agreement shall be as follows:
(i) The
Swap
Administrator shall have the full power and authority to do all things
not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement that may be deemed advisable
in order to enforce the provisions hereof. The Swap Administrator shall
not be
answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct
or
negligence. The Swap Administrator shall not be required to take any action
to
exercise or enforce any of its rights or powers hereunder which, in the
opinion
of the Swap Administrator, shall be likely to involve expense or liability
to
the Swap Administrator, unless the Swap Administrator shall have received
an
agreement satisfactory to it in its sole discretion to indemnify it against
such
liability and expense.
(ii) The
Swap
Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted
to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of any party
hereto or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or otherwise as provided herein, relating
to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available
to the Swap Administrator or exercising any right or power conferred upon
the
Swap Administrator under this Agreement.
(iii) The
Swap
Administrator may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through
agents or attorneys of the Swap Administrator. The Swap Administrator shall
not
be liable for the acts or omissions of its agents or attorneys so long
as the
Swap Administrator chose such Persons with due care.
3. Swap
Account.
The
Swap Administrator shall segregate and hold all funds received from the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee (including any Swap Termination Payment)
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Swap Administrator one or more
segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the “Swap”) as described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
4. |
Replacement
Swap Agreements.
|
The
Trustee shall, at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, if any, or, with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, at the direction of Greenwich Capital
Markets, Inc., as majority holder of the Class C Certificates, enforce
all of
its rights and exercise any remedies under the Swap Agreement. In the event
the
Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party
thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined therein), Greenwich Capital
Markets, Inc., as majority holder of the Class C Certificates, shall find
a
replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement swap
agreement.
Any
Swap
Termination Payment received by the Swap Administrator shall be deposited
in the
Swap Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under
a
replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment received from the
counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap
Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement swap agreement
cannot
be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Swap Administrator of the
Swap
Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Provider, the Swap Administrator
shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into a separate, non-interest
bearing account, established by the Swap Administrator and the Swap
Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from such account,
an
amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid
to the
Trust by the original Swap Provider (computed in accordance with Exhibit
A) and
distribute such amount in accordance with Section 2(a) of this Agreement.
On the
Distribution Date immediately after the termination date of the original
Swap
Agreement, the Swap Administrator shall withdraw any funds remaining in
such
account and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 2(a)(ii)
of this
Agreement.
5. Representations
and Warranties of Deutsche Bank.
Deutsche Bank represents and warrants as follows:

CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Securities
Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes
the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
- safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.
