transfer of Residual Certificates, no partnership or other entity treated as a
partnership for United States federal income tax purposes shall be treated as a
United States Person unless all persons that own an interest in such partnership
either directly or through any entity that is not a corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes are required by the applicable operative
agreement to be United States Persons, or an estate whose income is subject to
United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court
within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. To the extent
prescribed in regulations by the Secretary of the Treasury, which have not yet
been issued, a trust which was in existence on August 20, 1996 (other than a
trust treated as owned by the grantor under subpart E of part I of subchapter J
of chapter 1 of the Code), and which was treated as a United States person on
August 20, 1996 may elect to continue to be treated as a United States person
notwithstanding the previous sentence. The term "United States" shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 7701 of the Code.
"Value": With respect to any Mortgaged Property, the lesser of
(i) the value thereof as determined by an appraisal made for the originator of
the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan by an
appraiser who met the minimum requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, and (ii) the purchase price paid for the
related Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor with the proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan, provided, however, in the case of a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, such value
of the Mortgaged Property is based solely upon the value determined by an
appraisal made for the originator of such Refinanced Mortgage Loan at the time
of origination of such Refinanced Mortgage Loan by an appraiser who met the
minimum requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 or, subject to the applicable Originator's underwriting
guidelines, an insured automated valuation model.
"Voting Rights": The portion of the voting rights of all of
the Certificates which is allocated to any Certificate. With respect to any date
of determination, 97% of all Voting Rights shall be allocated among the Holders
of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class CE
Certificates in proportion to the then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances of their respective Certificates, 1% of all Voting Rights shall be
allocated to the Holders of the Class P Certificates and 1% of all Voting Rights
shall be allocated among the Holders of the Residual Certificates. The Voting
Rights allocated to each Class of Certificate shall be allocated among Holders
of each such Class in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as
of the most recent Record Date.

I-LT1PF, in each case to the extent of one month's interest at the then
applicable respective REMIC I Remittance Rate on the respective Uncertificated

to the first three Distribution Dates, such amounts relating to the Initial
Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3
and such amounts relating to the Subsequent Group III Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3PF.

Interest for the REMIC II Regular Interests for any Distribution Date the
aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not
covered by payments by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03(e)) and any
Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall
be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest II-LT1, REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LT2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LT3, pro rata based on, and to the
extent of, one month's interest at the then
84
applicable respective REMIC II Remittance Rate on the respective Uncertificated
Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated
Interest for the REMIC III Regular Interests for any Distribution Date:

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
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 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 the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, all other assets included or to be included in
REMIC I, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement certain payments made under the Swap
Administration Agreement and the Swap Account. Such assignment includes all
interest and principal received by the Depositor or the Master Servicer on or
with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and
interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The
Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Original Pre-Funded Amounts and the required deposit to
the Interest Coverage Accounts, and the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, acknowledges receipt of the same.
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 Initial Mortgage
Loan so transferred and assigned, and the Depositor shall, in accordance with
Section 2.09, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, the following
documents or instruments (a "Mortgage File"):
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank,
without recourse, or in the following form: "Pay to the order of Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without
recourse," with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a
complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so
endorsing to the Trustee, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an
original Lost Note Affidavit; provided however, that such substitutions
of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with
respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the
Cut-off Date;
(ii) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording
thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of
the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant
to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
recourse;
(iv) the original recorded intervening Assignment or
Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator
to the Person
86
assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the
immediately preceding clause (iii) or the original unrecorded
intervening Assignments;
(v) the original or copies of each assumption,
modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or an
attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to
mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which
were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, or in
the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written
commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by
the title insurance or escrow company.
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) 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
Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of
each such document certified by the applicable 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 applicable Originator, delivery to the Trustee,
or to the appropriate 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 was not delivered
pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance
policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or
to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof any other original 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.
87
The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the
Seller and the Trustee), following the later of (i) the Closing Date (or the
related Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans), (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the
Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording
information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee in the appropriate public office for
real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and
(iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in Section
2.01(iii) above in the following form: "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.", as Trustee
under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such Assignment is lost
or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be
cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment
to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments 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 further, however, each Assignment shall
be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i)
reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) [reserved], (iii) the occurrence of a
bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) with respect to
any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Seller is unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments,
such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the
Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original
document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a
Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee, or to
the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. Any such original document
delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms
of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to
the Master Servicer.
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 HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive
lending laws.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below,
the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to
a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed
agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii),
(iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account)
and declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or shall hold all such assets and such other assets included
in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
NIMS Insurer an acknowledgment of receipt of the
88
Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C-3 hereto.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note
within 45 days of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent Transfer Date,
with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) and to certify in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in
the form of the Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) that,
as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the
exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification),
(i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such
documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant
to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by it or such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed
by the related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or
the Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3),
(6), (9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is
herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or such
Custodian was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any
such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether
they are genuine, enforceable, 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 Mortgage File
should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in
the form attached to the Custodial Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to
all of the Initial Mortgage Loans and Subsequent Mortgage Loans. Upon the
request of the Master Servicer, any exception report related to the final
certification shall be provided in an electronic computer readable format as
mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee).
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 any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of
a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to
the requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee
(or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan 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 other parties.
89
The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall,
at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, provide a written report to such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
of all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice
under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document
is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
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 shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from
the date the Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document,
defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase
Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to
Section 2.03(d)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the
extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer
of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall
request the Trustee to (and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above,
if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause
such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (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(c).
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
(b)(i) Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Master
Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section
2.05, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such
breach in all material respects.
90
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i)
above, on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following
the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant made by the Master Servicer in
Section 2.05(viii), which breach materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the
Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating to
such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, as
a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the amount of the waived
Prepayment Charge.
(c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case
of the Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be
effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the
Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may
be, 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, the Assignment to the Trustee, 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 Shortfall Amount (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 ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, 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 Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto 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 REMIC I and shall be
retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given
written notice to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, 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, in the case of a
substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
including all applicable representations and warranties thereof.
91
For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution
Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date
of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution,
the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall cause the Custodian
to release to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related
Mortgage File or Files and shall request the Trustee to (and the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall) execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or
the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
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 shall not cause (a)
any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation,
any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of
the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1)
of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller
or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt

Agreement and has duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on

of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery thereof by the Depositor and the Trustee,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master
Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with
its terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability thereof may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and
other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and (b) the
remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought;
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Master Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
Servicer hereunder, the consummation of any other of the transactions
herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the
terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
Servicer and shall not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
of the organizational documents of the Master Servicer or (B) conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a
default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument
to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or
any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer of
any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master Servicer
is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture
or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any
statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it,

93
Agreement or the ability of the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage

accordance with the terms hereof;
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of, or compliance by
the Master Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained
prior to the Closing Date;

law, (iii) in the Master Servicer's reasonable judgment as described in
Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would maximize recovery
of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is standard and
customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of
a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan
that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default) or
(iv) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered
"predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit
of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its
reasonable judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage
Loans and any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable
Regulations, (iii) the terms of this Agreement and (iv) to the extent consistent
with the preceding requirements, 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 prudent mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master
Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the Master 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 Master
Servicer shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans.
Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this
Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 6.06, 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 Master Servicer in its own
name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee, in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, (i) 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, or of forbearance, or of modification and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause
to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell and transfer title
of REO Properties held in the name of the Trust Fund to third party purchasers
upon terms and conditions the Master Servicer deems
101
reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond to civil
actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or
REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other document
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing
Standard.
At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all
servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and
transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph
along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to
this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or
recording purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in
effecting the timely 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.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to
the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that:
(A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances
(except as provided in Section 4.03);
(B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate,
defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments,
reduce the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section
3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or (ii) such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial
releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or
division of properties subject to Mortgages,
102
(iv) modification or (v) second mortgage subordination agreements with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the
status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC,(ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange
or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust
REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC
Provisions.
To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may 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, (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
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
collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered "predatory" pursuant to
written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed
to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provisions of
any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory
arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder. 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. In the event
of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer
shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant
to Section
103
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, 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"). The Master Servicer's
analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance
meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the
Mortgage File.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances
that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon
discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee
for deposit in the Distribution 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 master servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement.

(x) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
(if the Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller) or the

obligation under Section 2.03 that were included in the Purchase Price

(xii) to transfer funds in the Collection Account

the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the next succeeding Master

(b) ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Escrow Account for the following purposes:
(i) to effect payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable
items;
109
(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Servicing
Advance made by the Master Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage

withdraw such amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer
shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the
extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient,
shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

the Escrow Account, the REO Account and the
Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to
Section 3.05(b)) and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.06, each an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment
Account 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, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. 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, the Escrow Account, and the
REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on
funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account)
the income thereon, 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:
(i) 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
(ii) 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 in the nature of interest from the
investment of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to
Section 3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as compensation for the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the
Escrow Account, and the REO Account, as applicable, from its own funds the
amount of any
111
loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in
such account immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from
the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of
the Trustee as compensation for the Trustee's services pursuant to this
Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own
funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the
Distribution Account.
(d) Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts, the
Interest Coverage Accounts and the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be
invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with this Section 3.06 subject
to any limitations set forth in Section 4.07 (with respect to the Pre-Funding
Accounts), Section 4.08 (with respect to the Interest Coverage Accounts) and
Section 4.10 (with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) and
any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in
the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on
Permitted Investments in such account.
(e) 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.
SECTION 3.07. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and,
as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including
renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the
Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master
Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of
the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent
that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become
due and shall ensure that the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a
result of nonpayment and that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.
112
SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of
such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended
coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing
Advances (each measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master
Servicer shall 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 Master 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 Master 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 3.05, if received in respect of a
Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.13, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance 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. 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, the
Master Servicer shall 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (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) and (iii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related
Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:V
or better in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to
such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in
the first two sentences of Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall
113
not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a
policy complying with the first two sentences of Section 3.08, and there shall
have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Master 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 Master 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 Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements
of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon reasonable request,
the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer with copies
of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master
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 Master 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. The Master 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 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer shall, 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 Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if
prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master 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 Master Servicer is authorized to 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 Master Servicer is also
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note, provided that no
114
such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the
underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption
or substitution, the Master 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 Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption
and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting
the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall be retained by the Master 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 or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian that any
such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, the executed original of
such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master 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 Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11,
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 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, 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 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall be recoverable as
Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and
Section 3.13. The foregoing is subject to the provision that: (i) in any case in
which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the
Master 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 shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) with
respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan for which the related first lien
mortgage loan is not included in the Trust Fund, if, after such Mortgage Loan
becomes 180 days or more delinquent and the Master Servicer, after making a
Final Recovery Determination, determines that a net recovery that would
eliminate or reduce a Realized Loss by more than an immaterial amount is not
possible through foreclosure, such
115
Mortgage Loan may be charged off and such Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.12 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Master 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 Master 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 Master 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:
(1) 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
(2) 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 Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such
Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the
Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure
without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld).
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), 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 Master 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
116
Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated
in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure, exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost
of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by
the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), 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) Proceeds received in connection with any Final
Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial
collection of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds,
in respect of any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(ii); second, 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 third, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to
interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such
Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery shall be allocated by the Master
Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance
of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to
unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii).
SECTION 3.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in
Section 3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of
any REO Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser
pursuant to this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as
attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the
third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund 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 the three-year
grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition shall not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the
117
Certificateholders and 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 Trust REMIC 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 Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all
funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO
Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain 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 Master Servicer shall be permitted to
allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate
ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain
or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Master 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 Master Servicer manages and operates
similar property owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on
such terms and for such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best
interests of Certificateholders and appropriate to effect the prompt disposition
and sale of the REO Property. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in
no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, 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 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 Master
Servicer shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such
purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the
Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer's judgment,
the payment of such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or sale of the
REO Property.
118
Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the
Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from
existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to
the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the
date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:
(i) 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 shall give rise to any income that does not constitute
Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under
any New Lease other than amounts that shall constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(iii) 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
(iv) 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 Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
action shall 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 Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written
notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific
action may be taken.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall
not be inconsistent herewith;
(ii) 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 Master
Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days
following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c)
relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such
Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master 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
119
(iv) the Master 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 Master 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 Master Servicer
by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is
sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent
Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be
permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under
Section 3.13(c), the Master 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from
each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in
accordance with Section 3.04(g)(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 3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.13(a) (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each
REO Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition"), each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing
activities for similar properties.
(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 Master Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution
Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master 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).
SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.15. Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of
Mortgaged Properties.
The Master 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
120
any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to
any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to
meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P
of the Code.
SECTION 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may, at its option,
purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for
which the Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to
purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Master Servicer shall be required to
continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Neither the NIMS Insurer nor
the Master Servicer shall use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
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 shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall immediately effectuate
the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary, as requested, and the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly deliver all
documentation to the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer as applicable, and as
shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property released pursuant hereto.
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 Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the
form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided
that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E (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 3.04(b) have been or
shall be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it
of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no
event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. 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
Trustee and any related Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master
Servicer provided that it does not differ from the substantive content of
Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such
121
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and
the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian when the need therefor by the
Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been charged off
or 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 Master Servicer has delivered to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was charged off or 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, upon
request, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or
such Custodian to the Master Servicer.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court
pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary
to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request
that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as
to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution
and delivery thereof by the Trustee shall 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.
(d) The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on policies and procedures
(commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the submission of any and all
requests for the release of a Mortgage File electronically with a digital
signature or other identifier to designate the Servicing Officer of the Master
Servicer requesting such collateral.
SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master 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 4.03(e). In addition, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account
to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in
122
whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment
Interest Excess, assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees,
reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Master Servicer only to the extent such
amounts, fees or charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from
the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h) to withdraw from any Escrow
Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.06. The Master 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 3.08,
Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the
related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each
Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.19. Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency on or before March 15th of each
calendar year commencing in 2005, an Officers' Certificate, in a form similar to
Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the parties hereto, stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master 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 Master Servicer has fulfilled all
of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation
is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may
123
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer
shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and each
Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner upon request at the expense of the
requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public
accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such
firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it
being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such letter of
agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and
the Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and
shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity
or correctness of such procedures.
SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master 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 or
Certificate Owner, 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 Master Servicer designated by it. In addition,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to
the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee upon reasonable request during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of
the Person requesting such access. In each case, access to any documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party's
acknowledgment in writing of a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory
to the Master Servicer regarding any information that is required to remain
confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999. Nothing in this Section
3.21 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the borrowers and the
failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
3.21 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.22. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.
(a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the
Master Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a
facility (an "Advance Facility") with any Person which provides that such Person
(an "Advancing Person") may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust
Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise
affect the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant
to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the
Trustee shall execute a letter of
124
acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such
Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or
any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the
Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly
from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing
Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for
such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice from the
Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of
this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be
reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing
Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Master
Servicer, and include the Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of
an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty
or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to
an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06
hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. 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.
(b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an
Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then
the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii)
prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall
include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant
to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized
to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing
Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms
of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been
permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v),
as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any
advancing facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trustee.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a
"first in first out" (FIFO) basis.
(d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated
pursuant to Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated
Master Servicer's right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the
extent of such Advancing Person's financing of Advances or Servicing Advances
hereunder then remaining unreimbursed.
(e) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a
125
successor master servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master
Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder but with the consent of
the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
amendment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then-current
ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates or any other notes secured by
collateral which includes all or a portion of the Class CE Certificates, the
Class P Certificates and/or the Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement.

Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer may agree from time to time) a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance
Report shall include (i) the amount of Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of
Advances outstanding after giving effect to such Advances, and the aggregate
amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii)
such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may
reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to
Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The Trustee shall not be
responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it
by the Master Servicer.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, Ameriquest Mortgage Company, the
NIMS Insurer a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the
status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement
information regarding the Collection Account that is mutually agreed upon by the
Master Servicer and the Seller. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder or the Certificate Owner 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 Master Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the
sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion
thereof net of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in
respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent 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 Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition
did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master 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
147
in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution
Date either (i) from its own funds, (ii) from the Collection Account, to the
extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it shall
cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account
that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this
Section 4.03, used by the Master 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 Master Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used
by the Master Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence
or withdrawn by the Master Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in
reimbursement of Advances previously made shall be appropriately reflected in
the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in
the Collection Account on or before any future Master 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 Master 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 shall provide notice to the Master Servicer,
Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by the close of
business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the
Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution
Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master 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 or REO Property,
shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or
the removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination
by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating
Interest") equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal
Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its
aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month. The Master
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Such amounts so
remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on
the next Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
any amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
148
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final
Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether
and the extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and
(iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect
of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described
in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the
Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the
end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of
all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized
Loss was incurred.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, in
reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE
Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal
on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i)
under Section 4.01 hereof; second, in reduction of interest accrued on and
otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii)
through (vi) of Section 4.01(a)(4) hereof; and third, in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after
taking into account all distributions made on the Certificates on such
Distribution Date), until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero. If on any Distribution Date, after all distributions are made
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and
the Class P Certificates exceeds the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period (after taking into
account prepayments during the related Prepayment Period), the amount of such
excess shall be allocated: first, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the
Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-7
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero, eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to
the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero and tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.
149
Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on
any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the
amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v).
No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro
rata basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) All Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LT1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF, until the
Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to
zero; provided however, with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all
Realized Losses on the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-LT1, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group I Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF until the
Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on
the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT2PF, until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular
Interest has been reduced to zero; provided however, with respect to the first
three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses on the Initial Group II Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2, until the
Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses
on the Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT2PF until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero. All Realized Losses on the Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trustee on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3
and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3PF, until the Uncertificated Balance of each
such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided however, with
respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses on the
Initial Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LT3, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and
all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group III Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT3PF until the Uncertificated Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero.
(d) All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date, to the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LT1, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LT1 has been reduced to
zero. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LT2, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LT2 has been reduced to
150
zero. All Realized Losses on the Group III Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LT3, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LT3 has been reduced to zero.
(e) (i) The REMIC III Marker Allocation Percentage of all
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC III Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
III Regular Interest III-LTAA and REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTZZ up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC III Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and
2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC III
Regular Interest III-LTAA and REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTZZ up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC III Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98%
and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC III Regular

fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTAA,

98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC III
Regular Interest III-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTAA, REMIC III
Regular Interest III-LTM5 and REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and
1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC III Regular Interest
III-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTAA, REMIC III Regular Interest III-LTM4 and

The REMIC III Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the
151
Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC III Regular Interest ending with the
designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC III Regular
Interest ending with the designation "SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance
of each such REMIC III Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x)
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of
Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC III Regular Interests such that
the REMIC III Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any
remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC III Regular Interest
III-LTXX.
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The
Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K (or other
comparable required form containing the same or comparable information or other
information mutually agreed upon) customary for similar securities as required
by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder,
and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the
Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the Commission's Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or
such other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power
of attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the
Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible
for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a
Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent
they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such
152
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 obtain any information not resulting from its
own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the "Certification"),
which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization.
(c) In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a
certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain
aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (the "Trustee's
Certification") (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an
analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K) and
(y) the Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit J-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their
officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Master Servicer Certification"). The Master Servicer
Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee no later than
March 15th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day). The Trustee's Certification shall be delivered to the
Depositor by no later than March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall
deliver the Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day).
In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its 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 a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its 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 a breach of the
Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Depositor's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the other party, in connection
with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 4.06 or its
respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith,
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
(d) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee
shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement
or information.
(e) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
153
(f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate
to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01)
in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment
of this Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the
reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment
pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities
under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.07. Pre-Funding Accounts.

155
Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises

required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment
direction of the Depositor with respect to the Interest Coverage Accounts is

right of reimbursement therefor. The Interest Coverage Accounts shall not be
assets of any Trust REMIC.
(c) On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period
and on the last day of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
related Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount equal to 30 days' interest on the excess, if any, of the related Original
Pre-Funded Amount, over the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of related
Subsequent Mortgage Loans that both (i) had a Due Date during the Due Period
relating to such Distribution Date and (ii) had a Subsequent Cut-off Date prior
to the first day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, at a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the related Class
A and Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution Date, with the Pass-Through
Rate on the related Class A and Mezzanine Certificates, solely for the purposes
of the foregoing calculation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period for such Class for
such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is 30. Such withdrawal and
deposit shall be treated as a contribution of cash by the Depositor to REMIC I.
Immediately following any such withdrawal and deposit, and immediately following
the conveyance of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund on any
Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Coverage
Accounts and remit to the Depositor or its designee an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the amount remaining in such Interest Coverage Account over
the amount that would be required to be withdrawn therefrom (assuming sufficient
funds therein) pursuant to the second preceding sentence on each subsequent
Distribution Date, if any, that shall occur during the Funding Period or that
shall be the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding
Period, if no Subsequent Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Trust Fund after
the end of the Prepayment Period relating to the current Distribution Date
(assuming that LIBOR remains constant at the level of LIBOR applicable to the
calculation of the Pass-Through Rate for the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates for the current Distribution Date).
(d) Upon the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date
immediately following the end of the Funding Period, (ii) the reduction of the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates to zero or (iii) the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.01, any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest
Coverage Accounts after distributions pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee and paid to the Depositor or its designee.
156
SECTION 4.09. Swap Account
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Swap Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as
Trustee, in trust for the Swap Provider and the registered holders of Park Place
Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-WHQ2."
Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held
uninvested.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution
to any Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account pursuant to
3.05(c)(i): (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider from funds collected and received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts
received by the Trustee from the Swap Administrator pursuant to the swap
administration agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Trustee, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacity as
Swap Administrator and Ameriquest Mortgage Company (the "Swap Administration
Agreement").
(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap
Administration Account shall be owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE
Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for federal income tax
purposes, the calculations of Uncertificated Interest accrued on the Class
SWAP-IO Interest shall be shall be deemed to have been paid to the Swap Account
regardless of any reduction in the actual amounts paid to the Swap Account
resulting from the calculation of the Net Swap Payment.
SECTION 4.10. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of Park Place
Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-WHQ2."
(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b).
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class
CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as
157
amounts distributed by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE Interest and by
REMIC V to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the
Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE
Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to
the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with respect to a "regular
interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
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 CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
(e) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority
in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct
any depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account to invest the funds in such account 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 or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment, 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 or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with
respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments. Interest earned on such investment shall be
deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(f) For federal income tax return and information
reporting, the value assigned to the right of the Holders of the Class A and
Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be de
mnimis.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-25. The Certificates of each Class shall be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the
Trustee, and delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the
Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the
order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by
manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized
signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the
Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication 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.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the
Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided
below, the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold
such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby
initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such
in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it
159
has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian
may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian
shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository), to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the
Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms
hereof, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its
predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right
to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee
through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the
Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the
Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the case of the Class M-10 Certificates),
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates,
160
and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Depositor, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under
such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the
Trustee shall at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall
have and maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a
copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a
certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the
Certificate Register.
(b) No transfer of any Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private
Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of
a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other
than 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
CE, 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 CE,
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), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt
of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring
to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other
cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, or the Trust Fund), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Private Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take
any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. If a transfer of an
Ownership Interest in the Class M-10 Certificates is to be made without
registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer
unless it receives (and upon receipt,
161
may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the
Certificateholder and the Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be
deemed to have represented such certification), to the effect that, among other
things, the transfer is being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined
in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) shall 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(d) of the 1933 Act.
(c) No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made to any 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
acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101
("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G,
unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the
Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer and on which they
may rely, which shall be to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates is permissible under applicable law, shall not constitute or result
in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
and shall not subject the Depositor, the Master 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 Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification shall 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 CE, 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 CE, 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 it is not purchasing with 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 Depositor of the status
of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall 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 preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Trust Fund from and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those
parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
162
(d)(i) 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 authorized the Certificate
Registrar or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a
Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale
under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or
impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar
shall require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
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 that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it shall endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees
to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to
this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it
provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F-2), to the Certificate Registrar stating that, among other things, it
has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest
in such Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written
notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning
of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
163
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been
reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such
registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made
unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter
from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a
Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate
Registrar 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
5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the
Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate
Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate
Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or
any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale,
net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if
any, shall be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate
Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal
Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury
regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the
"excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record Holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the
Trustee.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth
prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the
164
Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any
such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the
effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
provisions shall not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its
then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions shall not cause any Trust
REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust
REMIC, as the case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a
Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the
items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate
may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and cause the Certificate
Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R Certificate for three
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III
Interest, respectively, in each case 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 two separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's
respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-IV Interest and the Class R-V
Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X
Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be
made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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.
165
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and
exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in
accordance with its customary procedures.
(i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar
(unless the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the
Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an
updated copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and
August of each year, commencing in March 2005.
(j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any
Certificate in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be
void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held
continuously by the prior permitted Holder.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, 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 actual knowledge by the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created
hereunder, 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person 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 Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the NIMS Insurer or any agent
of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the
Private Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall
166
deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement memorandum or
disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall
maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge
during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate,
Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in
the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the
private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such
Certificate, if any, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii)
in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant
to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the
Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written
communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications
delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered
to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the
Master Servicer's determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
respectively, and (E) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered to the
Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section
4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items shall be
available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the person requesting
the same.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall keep
in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following
paragraph, the Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties
under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, 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; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall not be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such
effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of
warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific
liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant
168
hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie,
is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder.
The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates and any breach of a
representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans, other than in the case
of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and
the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of
the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of
litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or
defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer.
The Master 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 (ii) with the
written consent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from
each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating
Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates or the
Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding sentence, permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the
Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
169
liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of
such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall
not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable advance notice in writing, during
normal business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer, access to
all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in
respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations with respect to the
Mortgage Loans hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and
those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. To the extent
such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained
pursuant to the preceding sentence without the Master Servicer's (or any such
Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement
or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal
counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating
agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in
either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but
is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and
the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
170
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which 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, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan
originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit
accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) 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 6.11
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement
and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make
amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered
into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions
relating to insurance in Section 3.10 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 Master Servicer, are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that
until the related Servicing Transfer Date, Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall be
a Sub-Servicer of the Mortgage Loans.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Master 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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, 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.
171
SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master 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 Master Servicer without any
act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the
Master 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 6.06.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including
termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 6.08. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master 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 Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 6.09. 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
Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and 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 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master
Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.
172
SECTION 6.10. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause
its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have
entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption,
the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master 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 Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.
The Master 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.
SECTION 6.11. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the 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 deposit of such funds
into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such
proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master 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 Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
173
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the
Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other
than an Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master
Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made
under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the
Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly
to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this
Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the Seller, the failure of the
Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has been
established that requires a repurchase pursuant to the terms of Section
7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) which continues unremedied
for a period of 45 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the
Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by
the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master
Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master
Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in
the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or
appointment; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to
all or substantially all of its property; or
174
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a
petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) [reserved]; or
(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any
Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from
its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until
1:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the
Master Servicer Remittance Date.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, and at the written direction
of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights or at
the direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If
a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur,
the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the
Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer
appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance
(subject to its own determination as to recoverability, which Advance shall be
part of Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to
Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt
by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section
and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the
expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
(and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to
provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it
to assume the Master Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by
or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer
(provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to
receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to
the date
175
of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any
such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination).
For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is received by the Trustee of
any such event and such notice references the Certificates, REMIC I or this
Agreement.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master
Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or
expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master 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 and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to
make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee, as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from
making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer
so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to each Rating Agency (with confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and the NIMS Insurer and
having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master
176
Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
(b) [reserved]
(c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to
reimburse itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if
the Master Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing
Advances, but instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts
in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to
the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with
Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself
for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be. All
Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first in-first out" (FIFO)
basis. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related Advancing Person) has
been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances made by it, the
successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit in accordance
with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be permitted to
reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section
3.05(a)(vii).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree that Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall immediately
succeed as successor Master Servicer if HomEq Servicing Corporation resigns or
is removed as Master Servicer under this Agreement, subject to removal by the
Trustee upon failure to provide to the Trustee within 60 days, written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such appointment shall
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class
of Certificates.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above,
177
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the
occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days
after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of
such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer and to all
Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or
Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
(with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates
affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive
such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a
default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section
7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates (with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.
178
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event
of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
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 on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face 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 its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall 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 Master Servicer Event of
Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of
Default 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 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 that conform 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 or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(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
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
179
the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement.
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 it
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
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;
(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;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts 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 security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(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;
180
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
Default 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 document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; 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 such Certificateholders, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or
liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) 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; and
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection
Account, the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under
any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it
without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at
the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee
for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and
the Swap Administration Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf
of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and
Ameriquest Mortgage Company. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the 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 of the Trust Fund 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 8.03. The Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of
181
the Trustee in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement (other than as specifically set forth with respect to such party in
Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee
and authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer,
other than, subject to Section 8.01, any funds held by or on behalf of the
Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date reinvestment earnings on
funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, which have been earned during the
period commencing on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and ending on
such Distribution Date, shall be paid to the Trustee, as compensation for its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Distribution Account (but not from such reinvestment earnings) amounts
required to pay the Custodian the Custodian Fee or to reimburse the Custodian
for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred or reimbursable to it, as such
Custodian Fee and expenses (listed separately) are set forth in writing by the
Custodian to the Trustee by the related Determination Date pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement. The Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee shall be indemnified by REMIC I and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
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 Master Servicer's obligations and
duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans (for which the Master
Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) that constitutes a
specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of its obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the
Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee in respect of
the indemnification provided by this paragraph (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.
182
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee
from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting
from a breach of the Master 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. Any payment hereunder
made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer's
own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
(c) The Seller shall pay any annual rating agency fees of
the Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without right of
reimbursement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
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, or if at any time
the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its respective property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
183
If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have
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.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to
the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 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 Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Master 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 as
applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it
hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which
Custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the
Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 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 any Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
184
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, 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 hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee 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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master 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 case a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to the Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, 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, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether
as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the 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 trust 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
185
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 Master 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. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement.
The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer
to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall pay any and all fees and expenses of
the Custodian in accordance with Section 8.05 and the Custodial Agreement. The
Trustee initially appoints the Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the
Master Servicer consent to such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the
Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to
enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit
of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined
capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall
the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee shall designate an office or agency where the
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and
presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the
Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be delivered. As
of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates its Corporate Trust Office in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States.
186
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it,
and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by
it, shall not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or
an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute
a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or
other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal
and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with
the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law,
any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation
or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory
authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment,
is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge,
threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this
Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
187
ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations
and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain
payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the
obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so
paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the
earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last

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. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination
Price") equal to greater of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the
assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of 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 fair market value of the REO Properties plus accrued
interest through the end of the calendar month preceding the month of the final
Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing
Advances(in the case of fair market values required to be determined under (A)
or (B) above, as determined by the Terminator, the Trustee, and, if the
Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Certificateholders pursuant to the third
paragraph of this Section 9.01); provided, however, such option may only be
exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on,
as well as amounts necessary to retire the note balance of, each class of notes
issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the
time the option is exercised.
(b) Holders of at least 76% of the Voting Rights of the
Class CE Certificates, the Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer), in that order, shall have the right (the
party exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only (A) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election
is less than 10% of the sum of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
188
Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (y) the Original Pre-Funded
Amounts and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of
the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer a written certification that the burdens of servicing the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the benefits of the Servicing
Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if it continued to service
such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. 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 par,
and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such
amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular
Interests shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders
mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the
15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month
of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund shall
terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the
REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Certificates
shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the
office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular Interests or
the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the
final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the
time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is
given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last
Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon
the making of such final deposit, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the
Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on
such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the
189
final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to
remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the
Underwriters all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements:
(i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or
prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates,
the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator
for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the applicable Terminator (or in
the event of termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the
Trustee), the Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation
required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust
REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders
thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation
period for each Trust REMIC which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Certificateholders.

any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel except as specified herein. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust REMIC's

tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or

191
(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the
Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any
right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely

of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee
to enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust
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, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not
a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who shall
serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall
provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the
assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as
is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable each of
them to perform their respective obligations under this subsection. In addition,
the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee within ten
(10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee
reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and
issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause
each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create
or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action shall not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust
REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any
action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall consult with the Trustee, and the NIMS Insurer, or its designee,
in writing, with respect to whether such
192
action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust
REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust
REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee or
the NIMS Insurer may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the
cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not
permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of
the Trustee. The Trustee, upon discovery that any of the Mortgage Loans is not a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, shall enforce
the Seller's obligation to repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. The Trustee shall at all times ensure that all of the assets of any
Trust REMIC (other than the Mortgage Loans) are "permitted investments" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, as applicable.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year,
commencing April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than
the Trustee, the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification
Number for the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or
such other form as is appropriate.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not
accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection
with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section
2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund shall not cause the related REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall
enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than the Mortgage Pool
193
which are deemed to constitute "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in
connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not
limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of
REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), or acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), or
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, or accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party
seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution shall not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs
including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, caused solely
by the Trustee's failure to act in accordance with its standard of care set
forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the
Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust
Fund, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs
including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a
breach of the Master Servicer's covenants set forth in Article III or this
Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a
result of the location of the Master Servicer or any subservicer.

questions arising under this Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which shall

respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by either (i) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Master Servicer the Trustee to such effect
or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment shall not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of

amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trustee and, if applicable, the Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer
and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Swap Provider or Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Swap Provider or Holders of any Class of

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 (i), or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding
clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then
outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes
of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01,
Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Master Servicer or
any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters
affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, none
of the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment shall not result in the
imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
195
REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter

and the Holders of Certificates that represent more than 50% of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its respective rights, duties
and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is

appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but
only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such

take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor

to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in

default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in the name of the Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.

SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor or the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
or the Seller and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01
199
hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller and the Depositor to the
Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller's and the Depositor's right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the
Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee.
SECTION 11.10. Third Party Rights.
The NIMS Insurer and the Swap Provider shall be third-party
beneficiaries of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were parties
hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, provisions herein that refer
to the "benefit" of Certificateholders or the "interests" of the
Certificateholders or actions "for the benefit of" Certificateholders also
include an implicit reference to the benefits or interests of the NIMS Insurer,
if any.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in

Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of

This certifies that Ameriquest Mortgage Company is the
registered owner of a Percentage Interest specified above in that certain
beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class R-X Certificates in a
REMIC created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified
above (the "Agreement"), among Park Place Securities, Inc. (hereinafter called
the "Depositor," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement),
the Master Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the 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 the Holders of Class R-X Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at
least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called
A-25-3
the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on
the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer,(if any) and
the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the
Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. 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 herefor 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other 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 evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
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 evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification (other
than 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
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate
A-25-4
of the Depositor). In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to
be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in their respective
capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's
prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to 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 made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as residual
interests in three REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
A-25-5
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) or the Certificate Registrar may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any

If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), 4(b)(iii) or
4(b)(iv) above has been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the

Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:
(1) Each Group I Mortgage Loan is in compliance
with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Xxxxxx
Mae's Selling Guide;
(2) The methodology used in underwriting the
extension of credit for each Group I 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 Group I
Mortgage Loan;
(3) With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan
that contains a provision permitting imposition of a charge upon a prepayment
prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, the
Mortgagor agreed to such charge in exchange for a monetary benefit, including
but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage
Loan's origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage
loan that did not require payment of such a charge, (iii) the prepayment charge
is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state
and federal law, (iv) for loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the
duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date
of the Mortgage Note, unless the loan was modified to reduce the prepayment
period to no more than three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the
borrower was notified in writing of such reduction in the prepayment period, and
(v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not impose such prepayment charge in any instance when the
mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default in making
the loan payments;
(4) All points and fees related to each Group I
Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Group I
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 such loan and such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance
with Xxxxxx Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx
Xxx Selling Guide;
-14-
(5) All fees and charges (including finance
charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
connection with the origination and servicing of each Group I Mortgage Loan
haves been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and regulation;
(6) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was
encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the
Originator which is a higher cost product designed for a less creditworthy
Mortgagor, 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 Originator;
(7) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was
required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g. life,
disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy (e.g. life,
disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance) in connection
with the origination of the Group I Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Group I
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or
debt cancellation agreement as part of the origination of, or as a condition to
closing, such Group I Mortgage Loan
(8) The Master Servicer will transmit full-file
credit reporting data for each Group I Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Mae
Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Group I Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, or charged-off;

(16) No Mortgage Loan is a balloon mortgage loan
that has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years; and
(17) No Mortgage Loan is subject to mandatory
arbitration except when the terms of the arbitration also contain a waiver
provision that provides that in the event of a sale or transfer of the Mortgage
Loan or interest in the Mortgage Loan to Xxxxxx Mae, the terms of the
arbitration are null and void. The seller hereby covenants that the seller or
servicer of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, will notify the borrower in
writing within 60 days of the sale or transfer of the Mortgage Loan to Xxxxxx
Xxx that the terms of the arbitration are null and void.

or designee (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (43), (44), and (46) of Section 6(a)
herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and of itself

and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee), the party discovering the
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within ninety (90) days of
its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation which
was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or materially defective
documentation or any such breach of a representation and warranty (it being
understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
(39), (40), (41), (43), (44) and (46) of Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any
such representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
assignee, transferee or designee), the Seller promptly shall deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in
the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or such defect or
breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within ninety (90) days of its
discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
at a price equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from

and warranty (37) and (45) in Section 6(a) resulting in the Master Servicer's
inability to collect all or part of the
-16-
Prepayment Charge from the Mortgagor, in lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be
obligated to remit to the Master Servicer (for deposit in the Collection
Account) any shortfall in the Prepayment Charge collected upon the Mortgagor's
voluntary Principal Prepayment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the

Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net
of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect
of such Prepayment Charge.

Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended
Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any
such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be

written notice within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90)
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall either

defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such

shortfall, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the

defective material document or a breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and
remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the purchase price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the purchase price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 13
shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION 14. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if

by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller and the Purchaser
agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of
the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be

warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any

-21-
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. The
NIMS Insurer, if any shall be a third party beneficiary hereof and may enforce
the terms hereof as if a party hereto.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession" for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the
-22-
interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed
to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the
Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed
to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused
their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized
as of the date first above written.

obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party

COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
____________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of
____________________________ (the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of ______________, the record owner of Park Place
Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-WHQ2,
Class [R] [R-X] (the "Residual Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this
affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee"
as of ____________________, 2004 and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates
for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has
received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A
"Permitted Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or
a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified
organization" means the United States, any state or political subdivision
thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except
for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be
imposed on transfers of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended that applies to all
transfers of the Residual Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax
would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which
person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee,
on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be
relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an
affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false; and (iv) that each of the Residual Certificates may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated under 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 is to
impede the assessment or collection of tax.
F-2-1
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a
"pass-through entity" holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the
record holder of an interest in such entity. (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.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Certificate Registrar
will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee,
or the transferee's agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other
things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner
expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or
believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and
agreement are false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is
____________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on
the face of the Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were
issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which
authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and
negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such
Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly
agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the
Residual Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it
holds the Residual Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by
the holder of such Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Residual Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation
that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any
of the Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates
with the intent to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity
that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Residual Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.
F-2-2
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that
it makes of the Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that
it makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar an
affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the
Residual Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that
it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a
"Permitted Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation or partnership (or other entity treated as a corporation
or partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or
under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia (except, in the case of a partnership or entity treated as a
partnership, to the extent provided in regulations), an estate the income of
which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source or a trust other than a "foreign trust" described in section 7701(a)(31)
of the Code.
