It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Conveyance of
the Conveyed Assets to the Trustee by the Company as provided in this Section

the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyed Assets
are held to be the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Conveyed
Assets, then
(a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement;
(b) the Conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Company to the Trustee of, and the Company hereby grants to

or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with
respect to, or claims against other persons with respect to, all or any
part of the collateral described in (I) above (including any accrued
discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a
discount);

instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, goods, letters of
credit, letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and other minerals, and
investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of
the foregoing; and
(IV) All proceeds of the foregoing;
(c) the possession by the Trustee of any of the foregoing property
shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a
purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the

thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction; and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and

the Trustee at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent consistent with
this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Conveyed Assets,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment referred to in the
third paragraph of this Section 2.01, the Company, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be
delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee or Custodian the Mortgage Files,
which shall at all times be identified in the records of the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, as being held by or on behalf of the Trustee.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall
cause to be filed the UCC assignment or amendment referred to in clause (Y)(vii)
of the definition of "Mortgage File." In connection with its servicing of
Cooperative Loans, the Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely
continuation statements, if necessary, with regard to each financing statement
and assignment relating to Cooperative Loans.
In instances where the original recorded Mortgage or any intervening
assignment thereof (recorded or in recordable form) required to be included in
the Mortgage File pursuant to the definition of "Mortgage File" relating to a
Mortgage Loan is not included in the Mortgage File delivered to the Trustee
prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof (due to a delay
on the part of the recording office), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
fully legible reproduction of the original Mortgage (which may be in electronic
form) or intervening assignment provided that the originator, the related Lender
or the escrow or title company which provided closing services in connection
with such Mortgage Loan certifies on the face of such reproduction(s) or copy as
follows: "Certified true and correct copy of original which has been transmitted
for recordation." For purposes hereof, transmitted for recordation means having
been mailed or otherwise delivered for recordation to the appropriate authority.
In all such instances, the Company shall transmit the original recorded Mortgage
and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon (or a copy of
such original Mortgage or intervening assignment certified by the applicable
recording office) (collectively, "Recording Documents") to the Trustee within
270 days after the execution and delivery hereof. In instances where, due to a
delay on the part of the recording office where any such Recording Documents
have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered
to the Trustee within 270 days after execution and delivery hereof, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee within such time period a certificate (a "Company
Officer's Certificate") signed by the Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice
President or Treasurer of the Company stating the date by which the Company
expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable recording
office. In the event that Recording Documents have still not been received by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee by the date specified in its previous
Company Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee by such date an additional Company Officer's Certificate
stating a revised date by which the Company expects to receive the applicable
93
Recording Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording
Documents have been received by the Company and delivered to the Trustee.
For Mortgage Loans for which the Company has received a Payoff after
the Cut-Off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery hereof, the
Company, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the
Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer of the nature set forth in
Section 3.10.
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to
appoint any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master
Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this
Section 2.01, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose,
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for the acts of
any such Custodian only to the extent that it is responsible for its own acts
hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to the
Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all
purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall be
deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder.
On or promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause
the MERS'r' System to indicate that each MERS Loan, if any, has been assigned to
"State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Custodian/Trustee, without recourse" or
"State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
from time to time of Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. Washington
Mutual MSC Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-MS12, without
recourse" by including in the MERS'r' System computer files (a) the code
necessary to identify the Trustee and (b) the code necessary to identify the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that in the event the Company acquired such Mortgage Loans
from an affiliate of the Company, then the Master Servicer need not cause the
MERS'r' System to indicate such assignment. The Master Servicer shall not alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any MERS Loan during the
term of this Agreement except in connection with an assignment of such MERS Loan
or de-registration thereof from the MERS'r' System in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of the REMIC I Trust Fund,
elect to treat the REMIC I Trust Fund as a REMIC within the meaning of Section
860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election
shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed
on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC I
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the
Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to the REMIC I Trust Fund are hereby
designated as "regular interests" for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the
Code. The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of
"residual interest" in the REMIC I Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2)
of the Code.
94
The parties intend that the affairs of the REMIC I Trust Fund formed
hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the REMIC I Trust Fund shall
be conducted so as to qualify the REMIC I Trust Fund as a REMIC. In furtherance
of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of the REMIC I Trust
Fund: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax
return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of
accounting for the REMIC I Trust Fund when and as required by the REMIC
Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election,
on behalf of the trust, for the REMIC I Trust Fund to be treated as a REMIC on
the federal tax return of the REMIC I Trust Fund for its first taxable year, in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be
prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all information reports as and when
required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, and
make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e)
of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of the REMIC I Trust Fund at all times that
any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to maintain the status of
the REMIC I Trust Fund as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not knowingly
or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of the REMIC I Trust Fund; and (f) pay the
amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on the REMIC
I Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting
any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be
indemnified by the REMIC I Trust Fund for any such prohibited transaction
penalty taxes if the Company's failure to exercise reasonable care was not the
primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes.
The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company
with such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer,
respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of
enabling the Company to prepare tax returns.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which,
had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented
such Mortgage Loan from being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such
Mortgage Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion,
determines to be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof
within 90 days of such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan
will not adversely affect the status of the electing portion of the REMIC I
Trust Fund as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
the REMIC I Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by
the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the third preceding paragraph, such tax
shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1
Residual Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable
to the Class R-1 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to
reimburse the Tax
95
Matters Person (or any agent therefor appointed in accordance with the
definition of "Tax Matters Person" herein, if applicable), for the payment of
such tax (upon the written request of the Tax Matters Person or its agent, to
the extent reimbursable, and to the extent that the Tax Matters Person or its
agent has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges receipt
(or with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt
by the Custodian thereunder) of the documents (or certified copies thereof as
specified in Section 2.01) referred to in Section 2.01 above, but without having
made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to this Section
2.02. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, to review or cause the Custodian
to review each Mortgage File within 45 days after the Closing Date and deliver
to the Company a certification in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto, to the
effect that, except as noted, all documents required (in the case of instruments
described in clauses (X)(iv) and (Y)(ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File,"
known by the Trustee to be required) pursuant to the definition of "Mortgage
File" and Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In
performing such review, the Trustee may rely upon the purported genuineness and
due execution of any such document, and on the purported genuineness of any
signature thereon. The Trustee shall not be required to make any independent
examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review
specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no representations as to: (i)
the validity, legality, enforceability or genuineness of any of the Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to
have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall promptly so notify
the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such defect
cannot be corrected or cured, the Company shall, not later than 60 days after
the Trustee's notice to it respecting such defect, within the three-month period
commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on the
Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective obligation" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(f)), either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trustee
at the Purchase Price, or (ii) substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such
defect relates a different mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") which is
a "qualified replacement mortgage" (as defined in the Code) and, (iii) after
such three-month or two-year period, as applicable, the Company shall repurchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price but only if the
Mortgage Loan is in default or default is, in the judgment of the Company,
reasonably imminent. If such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the
previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner
of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered or (ii) in the case of
substitution, two years from the Closing Date.
Such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall mature no later than, and not more
than two years earlier than, have a principal balance and Loan-to-Value Ratio
equal to or less than, and have a Pass-Through Rate on the date of substitution
equal to or no more than 1 percentage point greater than the Mortgage Loan being
substituted for. If the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute
Mortgage Loans substituted for a Mortgage Loan is less than the Principal
Balance of
96
such Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay the difference in cash to the Trustee
for deposit into the Certificate Account, and such payment by the Company shall
be treated in the same manner as proceeds of the repurchase by the Company of a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02. Furthermore, such Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall otherwise have such characteristics so that the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.03 hereof
would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been
a Mortgage Loan, and the Company shall be deemed to have made such
representations and warranties as to such Substitute Mortgage Loan. A Substitute
Mortgage Loan may be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan whether or not
such defective Mortgage Loan is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Substitute Mortgage Loan
shall be deemed to have the same Pass-Through Rate as the Mortgage Loan for
which it was substituted.
The Purchase Price for each purchased or repurchased Mortgage Loan
shall be deposited by the Company in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt
by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the Custodian to)
release to the Company the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
(or, in the event that the Mortgage Files are held in the name of the Custodian,
shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Company or its designee or assignee title to any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if such Mortgage Loan is a
MERS Loan and as a result of the repurchase thereof such Mortgage Loan shall
cease to be serviced by a servicer that is a member of MERS or if the Company or
its assignee shall so request, the Master Servicer shall cause MERS to execute
and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form from MERS to the
Company or its assignee and shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be removed from
registration on the MERS'r' System in accordance with MERS' rules and
procedures. The obligation of the Company to repurchase or substitute any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Holders of
the REMIC I Regular Interests or the Class R-1 Residual Interest or the Trustee
on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the Class R-1
Residual Interest.
Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Company Concerning

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loans or the interests of the
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans, the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within 90 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Company shall repurchase,
subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of "Purchase Price," or
substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property
acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee, unless it has cured such breach in
all material respects. After the end of the three-month period beginning on the
"start-up day," any such substitution shall be made only if the Company provides
to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee that each Substitute Mortgage Loan will be a
"qualified replacement mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the
Code. Such substitution shall be made in the manner and within the time limits
set forth in Section 2.02. Any such repurchase by the Company shall be
accomplished in the manner and at the Purchase Price, if applicable, but shall
not be subject to the time limits, set forth in Section 2.02. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Company to provide such substitution or to
make such repurchase of any affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any
property acquired in respect thereof as to which a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest
or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.04. Acknowledgment of Transfer of Trust Fund. The Trustee
hereby accepts the Trust created hereby, acknowledges and accepts the transfer
and assignment to it of the property constituting the Trust Fund, but without
having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to Section
2.02, and declares that as of the Closing Date it holds and shall hold any
documents constituting a part of the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund, as Trustee
in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all
present and future Holders of
101
the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest. In connection
therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the property constituting the
Trust Fund, the Trustee does hereby convey to the Company the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.05. Conveyance of REMIC II; REMIC Election and Designations.
A trust ("REMIC II") of which the Trustee is the trustee is hereby created for
the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2
Residual Interest. The purpose of REMIC II is to hold the REMIC II Trust Fund
and provide for the creation of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2
Residual Interest. The assets of REMIC II shall consist of the REMIC II Trust
Fund. REMIC II shall be irrevocable.
The assets of REMIC II shall remain in the custody of the Trustee, on
behalf of REMIC II, and shall be kept in REMIC II. Moneys to the credit of REMIC
II shall be held by the Trustee and invested as provided herein. All assets
received and held in REMIC II will not be subject to any right, charge, security
interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of State Street Bank and Trust
Company in its own right, or any Person claiming through it. The Trustee, on
behalf of REMIC II, shall not have the power or authority to transfer, assign,
hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of REMIC II to any
Person, except as permitted herein. No creditor of a beneficiary of REMIC II, of
the Trustee, of the Master Servicer or of the Company shall have any right to
obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with
respect to, the property of REMIC II, except in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does
hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC II Regular
Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest, without recourse, all the
Company's right, title and interest in and to the REMIC II Trust Fund, including
all interest and principal received by the Company on or with respect to the
REMIC I Regular Interests after the Cut-Off Date. The Trustee hereby accepts
REMIC II created hereby and accepts delivery of the REMIC II Trust Fund on
behalf of REMIC II and acknowledges that it holds the REMIC I Regular Interests
for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class
R-2 Residual Interest. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the REMIC II Trust Fund to the Trustee by the Company as provided
in this Section 2.05 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the REMIC II
Trust Fund. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed the grant of a security interest in the REMIC II Trust Fund
by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
the REMIC II Trust Fund is held to be the property of the Company, or if for any
other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
the REMIC II Trust Fund, then
(a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement;
(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Company to the Trustee of, and the Company hereby grants to

shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for,

under applicable law.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and
the Trustee at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent consistent with
this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the REMIC II Trust
Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest
of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all
of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
103
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to
appoint any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master
Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this
Section 2.05, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for actions of
any such Custodian only to the extent it would otherwise be responsible for such
acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to
the Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for
all purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall
be deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder.
The Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of the REMIC II Trust Fund,
elect to treat the REMIC II Trust Fund as a REMIC within the meaning of Section
860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election
shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed
on behalf of REMIC II for its first taxable year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC II
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the
Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to the REMIC II Trust Fund are hereby
designated as "regular interests" for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the
Code. The Class R-2 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of
"residual interest" in the REMIC II Trust Fund for purposes of Section
860G(a)(2) of the Code.
The parties intend that the affairs of the REMIC II Trust Fund formed
hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the REMIC II Trust Fund
shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC. In furtherance of such
intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of the REMIC II Trust Fund:
(a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return
using a calendar year as the taxable year for the REMIC II Trust Fund when and
as required by the REMIC provisions and other applicable federal income tax

take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the
REMIC II Trust Fund; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited
transaction penalty taxes imposed on the REMIC II Trust Fund when and as the
same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company
or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided,
that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified from the REMIC II Trust
Fund for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company's failure
to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such
prohibited transaction penalty taxes.
104
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
the REMIC II Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by
the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the preceding paragraph, such tax shall be
charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2
Residual Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Company is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable
to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date
sufficient funds to reimburse the Company for the payment of such tax (to the
extent that the Company has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.06. Acceptance by Trustee . The Trustee hereby accepts the
REMIC II Trust created hereby, acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of
the property constituting the REMIC II Trust Fund and declares that as of the
Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents constituting a part of the
REMIC II Trust Fund, and the REMIC II Trust Fund, as Trustee in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future
Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest.
In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the property
constituting the REMIC II Trust Fund, the Trustee does hereby convey to the
Company the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest.
Section 2.07. Conveyance of REMIC III; REMIC Election and Designations.
A trust ("REMIC III") of which the Trustee is the trustee is hereby created for
the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R
Certificates) and the Class R-3 Residual Interest. The purpose of REMIC III is
to hold the REMIC III Trust Fund and provide for the issuance, execution and
delivery of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) and the
creation of the Class R-3 Residual Interest. The assets of REMIC III shall
consist of the REMIC III Trust Fund. REMIC III shall be irrevocable.
The assets of REMIC III shall remain in the custody of the Trustee, on
behalf of REMIC III, and shall be kept in REMIC III. Moneys to the credit of
REMIC III shall be held by the Trustee and invested as provided herein. All
assets received and held in REMIC III will not be subject to any right, charge,
security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of State Street Bank and
Trust Company in its own right, or any Person claiming through it. The Trustee,
on behalf of REMIC III, shall not have the power or authority to transfer,
assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of REMIC
III to any Person, except as permitted herein. No creditor of a beneficiary of
REMIC III, of the Trustee, of the Master Servicer or of the Company shall have
any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable
remedies with respect to, the property of REMIC III, except in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does
hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the
Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates (other than
the Class R Certificates) and the Class R-3 Residual Interest, without recourse,
all the Company's right, title and interest in and to the REMIC III Trust Fund,
including all interest and principal received by the Company on or with respect
to the REMIC II Regular Interests after the Cut-Off Date. The Trustee hereby
accepts REMIC III created hereby and accepts delivery of the REMIC III Trust
Fund on behalf of REMIC III and acknowledges that it holds the REMIC II Regular
Interests for the benefit of the
105
Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) issued
pursuant to this Agreement and the Class R-3 Residual Interest. It is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the REMIC III Trust
Fund to the Trustee by the Company as provided in this Section 2.07 be, and be
construed as, an absolute sale of the REMIC III Trust Fund. It is, further, not
the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed the grant of a
security interest in the REMIC III Trust Fund by the Company to the Trustee to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the REMIC III Trust Fund is held to
be the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in the REMIC III Trust Fund, then
(a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement;
(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Company to the Trustee of, and the Company hereby grants to

or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(I) The REMIC II Regular Interests, including without limitation
all rights represented thereby in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related

Mortgage Loans payable on and after the Cut-Off Date, (ii) the

deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans); (iii) the
Certificate Insurance Policy and amounts paid or payable by the insurer
under any FHA insurance policy or any Primary Insurance Policy and
proceeds of any VA guaranty and any other insurance policy related to
any Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool; and (iv) all rights arising
from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with respect
to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against
other persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral
described in (i)-(iii) above (including any accrued discount realized
on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount);
(II) All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, goods, letters of
credit, letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and other minerals, and
investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of
the foregoing; and
(III) All proceeds of the foregoing;
(c) the possession by the Trustee of any of the foregoing property
shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a
purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314
thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction; and
106
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for,
the Trustee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest
under applicable law.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and
the Trustee at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent consistent with
this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the REMIC III Trust
Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest
of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all
of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to
appoint any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master
Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this

provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for actions of
any such Custodian only to the extent it would otherwise be responsible for such
acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to
the Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for
all purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall

on behalf of REMIC III for its first taxable year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC III
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table and the notes thereto
contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to the REMIC III Trust
Fund are hereby designated as "regular interests" for purposes of Section
860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-3 Residual Interest is hereby designated as
the sole class of "residual interest" in the REMIC III Trust Fund for purposes
of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code.
The parties intend that the affairs of the REMIC III Trust Fund formed
hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the REMIC III Trust Fund

would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the REMIC III Trust Fund; and
(f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed

the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled
to be indemnified from the REMIC III Trust Fund for any such prohibited
transaction penalty taxes if the Company's failure to exercise reasonable care
was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction
penalty taxes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of

ARTICLE III
Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
Section 3.01. The Company to Act as Master Servicer. The Company shall
act as Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of
the Trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the
terms hereof, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices and
(unless inconsistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing
108
practices) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence
and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for
other portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be
done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration
which a prudent servicer of mortgage loans would do under similar circumstances,
including, without limitation, the power and authority to bring actions and
defend the Trust Fund on behalf of the Trustee in order to enforce the terms of
the Mortgage Notes. The Master Servicer may perform its master servicing
responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not
thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the Master
Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or
independent contractors.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause
to be collected 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 Primary Insurance Policy, any
FHA insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal
flood insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed
with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in
portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each
Mortgaged Property is located. The Master Servicer shall enforce "due-on-sale"
clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by
law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, in accordance
with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived
any assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of
any Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any
applicable insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be
materially adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180
days after the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent
installment on any Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items.
Subject to the fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90
consecutive days or more for an amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the aggregate Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so purchased
pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of
the aggregate Principal Balance, as of the Cut-Off Date, of all Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall also
have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, for an amount equal to its
Purchase Price, any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or more, for
the purpose of requiring the Person who sold such Mortgage Loan to the Company
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan based on a breach of a representation or
warranty made by such Person in connection with the Company's purchase or
acquisition of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two
sentences, the Master Servicer's right to purchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
either of such preceding sentences shall be subject to the following additional
conditions: (x) if the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 90-day
delinquent (the "Initial Delinquency Date") occurred during the first two
calendar months of a calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the
purchase right during the period commencing on the Initial Delinquency Date and
ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day of such calendar quarter, (y) if
the Initial Delinquency Date occurred during the third calendar month of a
calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the
109
purchase right during the period commencing on the first day of the immediately
succeeding calendar quarter and ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day
of such succeeding calendar quarter and (z) if the Master Servicer does not
exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period
specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, such Mortgage Loan shall
thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding two
sentences only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 90-day delinquent and
thereafter becomes 90-day delinquent again. For purposes of this paragraph, a
Mortgage Loan is considered delinquent for 90 consecutive days if a Monthly
Payment is not received by the first day of the third month following the month
during which such payment was due.
Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, 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 it has determined, exercising its good faith
business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that
(unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer such default is imminent) the Master
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal
balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity
date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms
of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty,
hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to
any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage
Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed,
temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection
with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated
as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail
to qualify as such under the Code. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related
Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another
Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other
similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business
judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related
Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of,
such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that the
applicable trust fund would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the
Code as a result thereof and that no tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result
thereof.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee
to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest,
and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification,
assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with
refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and
usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
110
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer is hereby further
authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests
and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, or any of them, such
instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Master Servicer
shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS'r' System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from
registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions
described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer with
no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as
a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS'r' System shall be reimbursable
to the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Master
Servicer, at the Master Servicer's direction, any powers of attorney and other
documents prepared by the Master Servicer and determined by the Master Servicer
to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall obtain (to the extent
generally commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and
omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac with respect to their
obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Selling and Servicing
Contract, respectively. The Master Servicer or each Servicer, as applicable,
shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance),
any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties that are not paid by
the Mortgagors when due to the extent that any such payment would not constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance when made.
In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer and any affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may
perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of
affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by
servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trustee,
obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit
repository.
Section 3.02. Custodial Accounts and Buydown Fund Accounts. The Master
Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained by each Servicer under the
Master Servicer's supervision the Custodial Account for P&I, Buydown Fund
Accounts (if any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall deposit
or cause to be deposited therein daily the amounts related to the Mortgage Loans
required by the Selling and Servicing Contracts to be so deposited. Proceeds
received with respect to individual Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard, or
FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, Primary Insurance Policy or other insurance
policy (other than any Special Primary Insurance Policy) covering such Mortgage
Loans, if required for the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
Property, may be deposited either in the Custodial Account for Reserves or the
Custodial Account for P&I. Such proceeds (other than proceeds from any Special
Primary Insurance Policy), if not required for the restoration or repair of the
related Mortgaged Property, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I,
and shall be applied to the balances of the related Mortgage Loans as payments
of interest and principal.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and
to issue drafts against the Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Custodial
Accounts for Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement.
Each Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial
111
Account for Reserves shall bear a designation clearly showing the respective
interests of the applicable Servicer, as trustee, and of the Master Servicer,
in substantially one of the following forms:
(a) With respect to the Custodial Account for P&I: (i) [Servicer's
Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest
custodial account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its
successors and assigns, for various owners of interests in Washington
Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. mortgage-backed pools or (ii)
[Servicer's Name] in trust for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities
Corp.;
(b) With respect to the Custodial Account for Reserves: (i)
[Servicer's Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and
insurance custodial account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities
Corp., its successors and assigns for various mortgagors and/or various
owners of interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.
mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in trust for Washington
Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. and various Mortgagors.
The Master Servicer hereby undertakes to assure remittance to the
Certificate Account of all amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that have been
collected by any Servicer and are due to the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 4.01 of this Agreement.
Funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I and the Custodial Account
for Reserves may, at the Master Servicer's option, be invested in (i) one or
more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business
Day prior to the related Withdrawal Date (except if such Eligible Investments
are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the
Withdrawal Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to
maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.03. The Investment Account; Eligible Investments. (a) Not
later than the Withdrawal Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw or direct the
withdrawal of funds in the Custodial Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the
Investment Account, in an amount representing:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans received or advanced by the applicable Servicers which
were due on the related Due Date, net of Servicing Fees due the
applicable Servicers and less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the
applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts;
(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of liquidations of
the Mortgage Loans received by the applicable Servicer for such
Mortgage Loans during the applicable Payoff Period, with interest to
the date of Payoff or liquidation less any amounts to be withdrawn
later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund
Accounts; and
(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable Servicers in the
Prior Period.
At its option, the Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from the
Custodial Accounts for P&I, as well as any Buydown Funds, Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds
112
previously received by the Master Servicer (including amounts paid by the
Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation or its substitution obligations
set forth in Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 or in connection with the exercise of
the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01) for its own
account and at its own risk, during any period prior to their deposit in the
Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any funds which were withdrawn from
the Custodial Accounts for P&I on or before the Withdrawal Date, but not yet
deposited into the Certificate Account, shall immediately be deposited by the
Master Servicer with the Investment Depository in an Investment Account in the
name of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for investment only as set forth in
this Section 3.03. The Master Servicer shall bear any and all losses incurred on
any investments made with such funds and shall be entitled to retain all gains
realized on such investments as additional servicing compensation. Not later
than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
deposit such funds, net of any gains (except Payoff Earnings) earned thereon, in
the Certificate Account.
(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i) one
or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible
Investments are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature
on the Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required
to maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.04. The Certificate Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Certificate Account, which shall be entitled "Washington Mutual Mortgage
Securities Corp. Certificate Account under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of October 1, 2001, between Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities
Corp., as Depositor and Master Servicer, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company, as the Trustee, for the benefit of State Street Bank and Trust Company,
Trustee, on behalf of the Series 2001-MS12 Certificateholders." Promptly after
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall communicate to the Master Servicer the
account number and wiring instructions for the Certificate Account.
Not later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date,
the Master Servicer shall direct the Investment Depository to deposit into the
Certificate Account the amounts previously deposited into the Investment Account
(which may include a deposit of Eligible Investments) to which the Holders of
the REMIC I Regular Interests, the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the
Certificate Insurer are entitled or which are necessary for payment of any
Special Primary Insurance Premiums. In addition, not later than the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the
Certificate Account any Monthly P&I Advances or other payments required to be
made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement and any
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (including amounts paid by the
Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation) not previously deposited in the
Custodial Accounts for P&I or the Investment Account, and any amounts paid by
the Master Servicer in connection with the exercise of its option to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or any other purchase of Mortgage Loans
permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit into the Certificate
Account amounts received under the Certificate Insurance Policy in accordance
with Section 3.21(b) hereof.
113
(b) Funds held in the Certificate Account shall be invested at the
written direction of the Master Servicer in (i) one or more Eligible Investments
which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the
Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii)
such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive any gains earned on such Eligible
Investments and shall bear any losses suffered in connection therewith. If the
Trustee has not received such written investment directions from the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall not invest funds held in the Certificate Account.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses on investments of funds held
in the Certificate Account.
Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the
Investment Account and Custodial Accounts for P&I and of Buydown Funds from the
Buydown Fund Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals (or, in the
case of the Certificate Account, to direct the Trustee to make withdrawals),
from time to time, from the Investment Account, the Certificate Account or the
Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers of amounts deposited
therein in respect of the Certificates (and, to the extent applicable, to make
deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
(i) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for Monthly P&I
Advances made pursuant to Section 4.02 or a Selling and Servicing
Contract, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph (i)
being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans
(including, for this purpose, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of principal and/or interest
respecting which any such Monthly P&I Advance was made;
(ii) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for amounts
expended by or for the account of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09 or amounts expended by such Servicer pursuant to the
Selling and Servicing Contracts in connection with the restoration of
property damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan;
(iii) To pay to itself, with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicing Fee (net of Compensating Interest reduced
by Payoff Earnings and Payoff Interest) as to which no prior
withdrawals from funds deposited by the Master Servicer have been made;
(iv) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for advances
made with respect to related Mortgage Loans (except for Mortgage Loans
purchased pursuant to a Purchase Obligation or pursuant to the second
or third sentence of the third paragraph of Section 3.01) which the
Master Servicer has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances;
(v) To pay to itself reinvestment earnings deposited or earned in
the Investment Account and the Certificate Account to which it is
entitled and to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and
reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.03;
114
(vi) To deposit to the Investment Account amounts in the
Certificate Account not required to be on deposit therein at the time
of such withdrawal;
(vii) To deposit in the Certificate Account, not later than the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the amounts in the
Investment Account specified in Section 3.04(a);
(viii) To pay on behalf of the Trustee any Special Primary
Insurance Premium payable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.05(a);
provided, the Master Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the
Trustee prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to the
applicable Distribution Date; and
after making or providing for the above withdrawals
(ix) To clear and terminate the Investment Account and the
Certificate Account following termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.01.
Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to paragraphs (i) and
(ii), the Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or
other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the
applicable Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each
Mortgage Loan, for the purpose of justifying any such withdrawals.
(b) The Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer, if such Servicer
holds and maintains a Buydown Fund Account) is authorized to make withdrawals,
from time to time, of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Account or Custodial
Account for P&I established by any Servicer under its supervision (and, to the
extent applicable, to make deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
(i) To deposit each month in the Investment Account the amount
necessary to supplement payments received on Buydown Loans;
(ii) In the event of a Payoff of any Mortgage Loan having a
related Buydown Fund, to apply amounts remaining in Buydown Fund
Accounts to reduce the required amount of such principal Payoff (or, if
the Mortgagor has made a Payoff, to refund such remaining Buydown Fund
amounts to the Person entitled thereto);
(iii) In the event of foreclosure or liquidation of any Mortgage
Loan having a Buydown Fund, to deposit remaining Buydown Fund amounts
in the Investment Account as Liquidation Proceeds; and
(iv) To clear and terminate the portion of any account
representing Buydown Funds following termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01;
(c) The Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from time to time
from the Certificate Account to reimburse itself for advances it has made
pursuant to Section 7.01(a) hereof that it has determined to be Nonrecoverable
Advances.
115
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections
Thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep, and to cause the Servicers to keep, in full force and effect each Primary
Insurance Policy (except any Special Primary Insurance Policy) required with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, in the manner set forth in the applicable Selling
and Servicing Contract, until no longer required, and the Master Servicer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect each
Special Primary Insurance Policy, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall have no obligation to maintain any Primary Insurance
Policy for a Mortgage Loan for which the outstanding Principal Balance thereof
at any time subsequent to origination was 80% or less of the Appraised Value of
the related Mortgaged Property, unless required by applicable law.
Unless required by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not cancel
or refuse to renew, or allow any Servicer under its supervision to cancel or
refuse to renew, any Primary Insurance Policy in effect at the date of the
initial issuance of the Certificates that is required to be kept in force
hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer
shall advance funds for the payment of any premium due under (i) any Primary
Insurance Policy (other than a Special Primary Insurance Policy) if it shall
determine that such an advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) any
Special Primary Insurance Policy.
Section 3.07. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Master Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative
Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than
the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, except in cases approved
by the Master Servicer in which such amount exceeds the value of the
improvements to the Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall also require
fire insurance with extended coverage in a comparable amount on property
acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan
(other than a Cooperative Loan). Any amounts collected under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property) shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract
and pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.05. Any unreimbursed costs incurred
in maintaining any insurance described in this Section 3.07 shall be recoverable
as an advance by the Master Servicer from the Investment Account or the
Certificate Account. Such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the
Master Servicer and Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Other additional insurance may be
required of a Mortgagor, in addition to that required pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. Where any part of any improvement to the
Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property secured by a Cooperative
Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area and in a
community which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program at the time
of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause
flood insurance to be provided. The hazard insurance coverage required by this
Section 3.07 may be met with blanket policies providing protection equivalent to
individual policies otherwise required. The Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer shall be responsible for paying any deductible amount on any such
blanket policy. The Master Servicer agrees to present, or cause to be presented,
on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
claims under the hazard insurance policy respecting any Mortgage Loan, and in
this regard to take such reasonable actions as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under such policy.
116
Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. When any Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such
prospective conveyance and prior to the time of the consummation of such
conveyance, exercise on behalf of the Trustee the Trustee's rights to accelerate
the maturity of such Mortgage Loan, to the extent that such acceleration is
permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note, under any "due-on-sale"
clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not
exercise any such right if the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Master Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law or if such exercise
would result in non-coverage of any resulting loss that would otherwise be
covered under any insurance policy. In the event the Master Servicer is
prohibited from exercising such right, the Master Servicer is authorized to take
or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person
to whom a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to
which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited
by applicable state law or unless the Mortgage Note contains a provision
allowing a qualified borrower to assume the Mortgage Note, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if
so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by any related
Primary Insurance Policy. 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
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall
not enter into any substitution or assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause the REMICs
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the
startup day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement and other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the terms of the
related Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the applicable
Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
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 any assumption which the Master Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, or cause to be
foreclosed upon or comparably converted, the ownership of any Mortgaged Property
securing a Mortgage Loan which comes into and continues in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.01. In lieu of such foreclosure or other
conversion, and taking into consideration the desirability of maximizing net
Liquidation Proceeds after taking into account the effect of Insurance Proceeds
upon Liquidation Proceeds, the Master Servicer may, to the extent consistent
with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices,
117
accept a payment of less than the outstanding Principal Balance of a delinquent
Mortgage Loan in full satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced by the related
Mortgage Note and release the lien of the related Mortgage upon receipt of such
payment. The Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert a Mortgaged Property if the Master Servicer is aware of evidence of
toxic waste, other hazardous substances or other evidence of environmental
contamination thereon and the Master Servicer determines that it would be
imprudent to do so. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the
Master Servicer shall cause to be followed such practices and procedures as it
shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in general
mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the provision that,
in the case of damage to a Mortgaged Property from an Uninsured Cause, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to advance its own funds towards the
restoration of the property unless it shall be determined in the sole judgment
of the Master Servicer, (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof (as well as its
normal servicing compensation) as an advance. The Master Servicer shall maintain
information required for tax reporting purposes regarding any Mortgaged Property
which is abandoned or which has been foreclosed or otherwise comparably
converted. The Master Servicer shall report such information to the Internal
Revenue Service and the Mortgagor in the manner required by applicable law.
The Master Servicer may enter into one or more special servicing
agreements with a Lowest Class B Owner, subject to each Rating Agency's
acknowledgment that the Ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior
to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or
withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status
(except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such
agreement may contain provisions whereby such Lowest Class B Owner may (a)
instruct the Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in
the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract to commence or delay foreclosure
proceedings with respect to related delinquent Mortgage Loans, provided that the
Lowest Class B Owner deposits a specified amount of cash with the Master
Servicer that will be available for distribution to Certificateholders if
Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer
acted pursuant to its normal servicing procedures, (b) purchase such delinquent
Mortgage Loans from the REMIC I Trust Fund immediately prior to the commencement
of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month in which
such Mortgage Loans are purchased and/or (c) assume all of the servicing rights
and obligations with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as (i)
the Master Servicer has the right to transfer the servicing rights and
obligations of such Mortgage Loans to another servicer and (ii) such Lowest
Class B Owner will service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the applicable
Selling and Servicing Contract.
REMIC I shall not acquire any real property (or personal property
incident to such real property) except in connection with a default or imminent
default of a Mortgage Loan. In the event that REMIC I acquires any real property
(or personal property incident to such real property) in connection with a
default or imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, such property
118
shall be disposed of by the Master Servicer as soon as practicable in a manner
that, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, maximizes the
net present value of the recovery to the Trust, but in any event within three
years after its acquisition by the Master Servicer for REMIC I unless the Master
Servicer provides to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or under the law of any state in which real property
securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is located or cause REMIC I to fail to
qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or for state tax purposes
under the laws of any state in which real property securing a Mortgage Loan
owned by REMIC I is located at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Master Servicer shall conserve, protect and operate each such property for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the
receipt by the 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. Pursuant to
its efforts to sell such property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or
through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such
property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality
where such property is located and may, incident to its conservation and
protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any
part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Master Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such property. Additionally, the Master Servicer shall perform the tax
withholding and shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of
mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures
and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating
to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and
deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each
year stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form
and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall comply with all federal
withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of
interest or original issue discount that the Master Servicer or the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer agrees that it will not withhold
with respect to payments of interest or original issue discount in the case of a
Certificateholder that has furnished or caused to be furnished an effective Form
W-8 or an acceptable substitute form or a successor form and who is not a "10
percent shareholder" within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a
"controlled foreign corporation" described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with
respect to REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or the depositor. In the event the
Trustee withholds 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
Certificateholder.
119
Section 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the
Payoff or scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
cause such final payment to be immediately deposited in the related Custodial
Account for P&I or the Investment Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee thereof by a certification (which certification shall include
a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in either such account have been so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File; provided, however, that such certification shall not be required
if the Mortgage File is held by a Custodian which is also the Servicer of the
Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall, not later than the fifth succeeding Business Day, release, or cause to be
released, the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer indicated in such request. With any such Payoff or other final payment,
the Master Servicer is authorized (i) to prepare for and procure from the
trustee or mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note a deed
of full reconveyance or other form of satisfaction or assignment of Mortgage and
endorsement of Mortgage Note in connection with a refinancing covering the
Mortgaged Property, which satisfaction, endorsed Mortgage Note or assigning
document shall be delivered by the Master Servicer to the person or persons
entitled thereto, and (ii) with respect to any MERS Loan, to cause the removal
of such Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS'r' System. No expenses
incurred in connection with such satisfaction or assignment shall be payable to
the Master Servicer by the Trustee or from the Certificate Account, the related
Investment Account or the related Custodial Account for P&I. From time to time
as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including,
for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Trustee
shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to it of a trust receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer, release not later than the fifth Business Day
following the date of receipt of such request and trust receipt the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as indicated by the
Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be
released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.11. Compensation to the Master Servicer and the Servicers. As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive from the Investment Account or the Certificate Account the amounts
provided for by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The Master Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided
herein.
As compensation for its activities under the applicable Selling and
Servicing Contract, the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to withhold or
withdraw from the related Custodial Account for P&I the amounts provided for in
such Selling and Servicing Contract. Each Servicer is required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under its
Selling and Servicing Contract (including payment of premiums for Primary
Insurance Policies, other than Special Primary Insurance Policies, if required)
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in such Selling and Servicing Contract and not inconsistent with this
Agreement.
120
Section 3.12. Reports to the Trustee; Certificate Account Statement.
Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
forward a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer setting forth the status of the Certificate Account as of
the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period
covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from
the Certificate Account for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.04
and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.05, and stating that all
distributions required by this Agreement have been made (or if any required
distribution has not been made, specifying the nature and amount thereof). The
Trustee shall make available such statements to any Certificateholder upon
request at the expense of the Master Servicer. Such statement shall also, to the
extent available, include information regarding delinquencies on the Mortgage
Loans, indicating the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans
which are one, two, three or more months delinquent, the number and aggregate
Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure
proceedings have been initiated and the book value of any Mortgaged Property
acquired by the REMIC I Trust Fund through foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or other exercise of the REMIC I Trust Fund's security interest in
the Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, on or before April 30
of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding the Cut-Off Date by
at least six months, an Officer's Certificate stating as to the signer thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding
calendar year and performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based
on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all 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 such statement shall be
provided by the Master Servicer to Certificateholders upon request or by the
Trustee (solely to the extent that such copies are available to the Trustee) at
the expense of the Master Servicer, should the Master Servicer fail to so
provide such copies.
Section 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Certificates are legal for investment
by federally-insured savings associations, the Master Servicer shall provide to
the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the
FDIC access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS or the FDIC, as applicable, and shall in
any event provide such access to the documentation regarding such Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee and its representatives, such access being afforded without
charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the
offices of the Master Servicer designated by it.
Section 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding
the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, the Master Servicer, at its expense,
shall cause a firm of independent public accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer to the effect that, in connection with
the firm's examination of the financial statements as of the previous December
31 of the Master Servicer's parent corporation (which shall include a limited
examination of the Master Servicer's financial statements), nothing came to
their attention that indicated that the
121
Master Servicer was not in compliance with Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section
3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.11, Section 3.12 and Section 3.13 of this
Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be
immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement.
Section 3.16. Maintenance of the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund. On or
prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be established and
maintained the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund, into which an amount equal to $2,000
shall be contributed by the Underwriter, to provide coverage with respect to any
Class III-A-7 Covered Interest Shortfall Amount. For each Distribution Date, so
long as funds remain on deposit in the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund, the Master
Servicer shall calculate the Class III-A-7 Covered Interest Shortfall Amount for
such Distribution Date, and shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer
by noon New York City time two Business Days prior to the Distribution Date of
such amount. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall then withdraw
from the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund, to the extent funds are available therein,
the Class III-A-7 Covered Interest Shortfall Amount, and deposit such amount in
the Certificate Account for payment to the Class III-A-7 Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.05(a) (and shall be deemed to have distributed such amount
to the Class III-A-7-L Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.04).
The Trustee shall withdraw from the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund and pay
to the Underwriter any amounts remaining in the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund on
the Distribution Date on which the Class III-A-7 Principal Balance has been
reduced to zero.
Amounts on deposit in the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund shall not be
invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.
To the extent that it constitutes a "reserve fund" for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions, the Class III-A-7 Reserve Fund established hereunder shall be
an "outside reserve fund" as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), and in
that regard (i) such fund shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of
any REMIC, (ii) such fund shall be owned for federal tax purposes by the
Underwriter, and the Underwriter shall report all amounts of income, deduction,
gain or loss accruing therefrom, and (iii) amounts transferred by the REMIC to
the fund shall be treated as distributed by the REMIC to the Underwriter.

Section 3.18. [Reserved.]
Section 3.19. [Reserved.]
Section 3.20. Assumption or Termination of Selling and Servicing
Contracts by Trustee. In the event the Master Servicer, or any successor Master
Servicer, shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by
reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee as trustee hereunder or its designee
shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans unless the Trustee elects to terminate the Selling and Servicing Contracts
with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor
122
servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master
Servicer's interest therein with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and to
have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Selling and Servicing
Contracts to the same extent as if the rights and duties under the Selling and
Servicing Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with
respect to the Master Servicer's duties to be performed prior to its termination
hereunder.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Selling
and Servicing Contracts and the Mortgage Loans then being master serviced by the
Master Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the rights and duties under the related Selling and Servicing
Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party.
Section 3.21. Maintenance of the Certificate Insurance Policy;
Collections Thereunder.
(a) Prior to noon New York City time on the third Business Day prior to
each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, with respect to the Insured
Certificates, determine if a Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date exists
and, if so, shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing of such amount; the
Trustee, upon receipt of such notice, shall complete the Notice and submit such
Notice in accordance with the Certificate Insurance Policy to the Certificate
Insurer no later than noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day
immediately preceding such Distribution Date, as a claim for an Insured Payment
in an amount equal to such Deficiency Amount. If at any time the Trustee
receives a certified copy of an order of an appropriate court that any payment
of principal and interest on the Insured Certificates constitutes a Preference
Amount, the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust, shall take the actions
required on its part by the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy to obtain
payment of such Preference Amount by the Certificate Insurer.
(b) Upon receipt of an Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer on
behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit
such Insured Payment in the Certificate Account. All such amounts on deposit in
the Certificate Account shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall include on
each Distribution Date any amounts received by it from or on behalf of the
Certificate Insurer with respect to a Deficiency Amount for such Distribution
Date (i) in the amount distributed to the Holders of the Insured Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.05 and (ii) in the amount deemed to have been distributed
to the Class III-A-7-L Regular Interest and deposited for its benefit into the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04). If on any Distribution Date the
Trustee or the Master Servicer determines (the Master Servicer having notified
the Trustee of such determination) that the Certificate Insurer has paid more
under the Certificate Insurance Policy than is required by the terms thereof,
the Trustee shall promptly return the excess amount to the Certificate Insurer.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of the Holders of
the Insured Certificates any Insured Payment delivered to it by the Certificate
Insurer for payment to such Class and (ii) distribute such Insured Payment to
such Holders as set forth in subsection 3.21(b) above. Insured Payments
disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance
123
Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust Fund with respect to the
Insured Certificates, nor shall such disbursement of Insured Payments discharge
the obligations of the Trust Fund with respect to the amounts thereof, and the
Certificate Insurer shall become owner of such amounts to the extent covered by
such Insured Payments as the deemed assignee of such Holders. The Trustee hereby
agrees on behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates (and each such
Holder, by its acceptance of its Insured Certificates, hereby agrees) for the
benefit of the Certificate Insurer that, to the extent the Certificate Insurer
makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying through the
Trustee), to the Holder of an Insured Certificate, the Certificate Insurer will
be subrogated to any rights of the Holder of such Insured Certificate to receive
(pursuant to the definition of "REMIC III Distribution Amount") the amounts for
which such Insured Payments were made, to the extent of such payments, and the
Trustee shall pay such amounts to the Certificate Insurer to the extent included
in the REMIC III Distribution Amount (as notified to the Trustee by the Master
Servicer in the written statement required pursuant to Section 4.02(b)).
(d) On each Distribution Date and prior to making any distributions on
such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.04, the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Certificate Account and pay to the Certificate Insurer the Certificate
Insurer Premium as set forth in the statement delivered to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.02(b).
Section 3.22. Maintenance of the Rounding Accounts; Collections
Thereunder. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Rounding Accounts, and the Underwriter shall deposit $999.99 in each such
Rounding Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain such accounts to provide,
if needed, the applicable Rounding Amount on any Distribution Date. For each
Class of Special Retail Certificates, on the first Distribution Date with
respect to which the Master Servicer determines that principal is required to be
distributed to such Class pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(ii), and the aggregate
amount of such principal is not an amount equal to an integral multiple of
$1,000, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee by Noon New York City time
two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date of the applicable Rounding
Amount, and the Trustee shall withdraw such Rounding Amount from the applicable
Rounding Account. On each succeeding Distribution Date, prior to the earlier of
(i) the Credit Support Depletion Date and (ii) the date on which any loss is
allocated to such Class of Special Retail Certificates or its Corresponding
Class, with respect to which the Master Servicer determines that principal is
required to be distributed to such Class pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(ii), the
aggregate amount of such principal will be applied first to repay to the
applicable Rounding Account any funds withdrawn from such Rounding Account on
prior Distribution Dates which have not been repaid. If the remainder of such
aggregate amount of principal is not an amount equal to an integral multiple of
$1,000, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee by Noon New York City time
two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date of the applicable Rounding
Amount, and the Trustee shall withdraw from the applicable Rounding Account, to
the extent funds are available therein, the amount so notified by the Master
Servicer.
Any amounts withdrawn by the Trustee from any Rounding Account shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account for distribution to the Holders of the
applicable Class of Special Retail Certificates as described in the immediately
preceding paragraph (and shall be deemed to have been distributed to the
Corresponding Class of each such Class of Special Retail Certificates, as
124
applicable, and deposited for its benefit into the Certificate Account in
accordance with Section 4.01(i)).
Amounts on deposit in the Rounding Accounts shall not be invested.
On the first Distribution Date after the earliest of (i) the Credit
Support Depletion Date, (ii) the date on which any loss is allocated to the
Special Retail Certificates or their Corresponding Classes and (iii) the date on
which the applicable Class Principal Balance of such Class of Special Retail
Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Trustee shall remit any amounts then
remaining on deposit in the applicable Rounding Account or Accounts to the
Holders of the Class R-3 Residual Interest.
ARTICLE IV

Section 4.01. Distributions to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests and
Class R-1 Residual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly
appointed paying agent) (i) shall be deemed to have distributed from the
Certificate Account (A) the REMIC I Distribution Amount to the Holders of the
REMIC I Regular Interests and (B) the applicable Rounding Amount or Amounts, if
any, to the holders of the Corresponding Class of each Class of Special Retail
Certificates, and to have deposited such amounts for their benefit into the
Certificate Account and (ii) from the Certificate Account shall distribute to
the Class R Certificateholders, in accordance with the written statement
received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b), the sum of (a)
the Excess Liquidation Proceeds and (b) the amounts to be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R-1 Residual Interest pursuant to the definition of "REMIC
I Distribution Amount" for such Distribution Date. Amounts distributed pursuant
to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately
available funds for the account of each Class R Certificateholder, or by any
other means of payment acceptable to each Class R Certificateholder of record on
the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01
respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder
and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no actual distributions
pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.01 shall be made on account of the
deemed distributions described in this paragraph except in the event of a
liquidation of REMIC III and REMIC II and not REMIC I.
Section 4.02. Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to
the Trustee.
(a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to
advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between
(i) payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the
amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such
payments; provided that, with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on
its maturity date, the Master Servicer will not be required to advance the
related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in
accordance with this
125
Section 4.02 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to one month's
interest on the unpaid principal balance at the applicable Pass-Through Rate for
each Distribution Date to the extent the Master Servicer deems such amount to be
recoverable. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances
described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance
is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the
second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as
late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise.
Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will
make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date
(in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and
shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and
to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount
to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, stated separately.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a
Monthly P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal
to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of
the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future
distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by
the Master Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in
the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such
Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to
Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by
deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any
future Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on
such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master
Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established
by the Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular
Mortgage Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or
Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an
unreimbursed advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also
entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I
established by the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable
Advances respecting Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master
Servicer shall deposit these amounts in the Investment Account prior to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.
In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable
to the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate
Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such
advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
(b) Prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide (x) the Trustee, (y) the
Certificate Insurer and (z) the Company (if the Company is no longer acting as
Master Servicer) with a statement in writing of
126
(1) the amount, if any, of the Certificate Insurer Premium for the Class III-A-7
Certificates, (2) the amounts to be distributed to the Certificate Insurer
pursuant to the definition of "REMIC II Distribution Amount," (3) the Deficiency
Amount, if any, to be paid by the Certificate Insurer, (4) the Class III-A-7
Covered Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, to be withdrawn from the Class
III-A-7 Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 3.16, (5) the Rounding Amount, if any,
to be withdrawn from the Rounding Accounts pursuant to Section 3.22; (6) the
amounts to be applied to repay any funds withdrawn from the Rounding Accounts on
prior Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 3.22; (7) the amount, as
applicable, of (i) interest, (ii) the interest portion, if any, of Realized
Losses, (iii) Uncompensated Interest Shortfall, (iv) scheduled principal, (v)
Principal Prepayments, (vi) the principal portion of Realized Losses, (vii) the
Residual Distribution Amount and (viii) the Excess Liquidation Proceeds to be
distributed to each Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
amounts to be determined in accordance with the definitions of "REMIC I
Distribution Amount," "REMIC II Distribution Amount" and "REMIC III Distribution
Amount," Section 4.01, Section 4.04 and Section 4.05 hereof and other related
definitions set forth in Article I hereof); (8) the applicable Class Principal
Balance after giving effect to such distributions; and (9) the amount of any
Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date.
Section 4.03. Nonrecoverable Advances. Any advance previously made by a
Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or by the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer shall determine
in its good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan
or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it or
the applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee on the Determination
Date and detailing the reasons for such determination. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage
Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the
Company or the Master Servicer is a party, (a) the Master Servicer and each
Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that, after
reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, the Master Servicer or such
Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) the Master
Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any advance as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Agreement.
Section 4.04. Distributions to Holders of REMIC II Regular Interests
and Class R-2 Residual Interest; Payments to Certificate Insurer. On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) (i) shall
withdraw from the Certificate Account the Certificate Insurer Premium payable on

Certificate Account (A) the REMIC II Distribution Amount (other than any Class
III-A-7 Reimbursement Amount) to the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests,
(B) the Class III-A-7 Covered Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, and the
Deficiency Amount, if any, to the Class III-A-7-L Regular Interest and (C) the

of Special Retail Certificates, and to have deposited such amounts for their
benefit into the Certificate Account, (iii) from the Certificate Account shall
distribute to the Certificate Insurer, in accordance with the written statement

127
pursuant to Section 4.02(b), any Class III-A-7 Reimbursement Amount to be
distributed to the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the definition of "REMIC II
Distribution Amount" for such Distribution Date and (iv) shall distribute from
the Certificate Account to the Class R Certificateholders, in accordance with
the written statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section

Interest pursuant to the definition of "REMIC II Distribution Amount" for such
Distribution Date. Amounts distributed to the Class R-2 Certificateholders
pursuant to clause (iv) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in
immediately available funds for the account of each Class R-2 Certificateholder,
or by any other means of payment acceptable to each Class R-2 Certificateholder
of record on the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution), as specified by each Class R-2
Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate
Register. Amounts distributed to the Certificate Insurer pursuant to clause (i)
or (iii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately available

by first class mail to such address as the Certificate Insurer shall designate
in writing to the Trustee from time to time at least one Business Day before any

Special Primary Insurance Policy and (ii) withdraw from the Certificate Account

distribute, from the amount so withdrawn, to the extent of the REMIC III

Certificates shall be used first to pay any amount payable to the applicable
Rounding Account pursuant to Section 3.22) and to the Certificate Insurer in
respect of the Certificate Insurer's subrogation to certain rights to payment

Section 4.07. Principal Distributions on the Special Retail
Certificates. With respect to each Class of Special Retail Certificates, prior
to the earlier of (i) the Credit Support Depletion Date and (ii) the date on
which any loss is allocated to such Class or its Corresponding Class by Pro Rata
Allocation, distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such
Class will be made in integral multiples of $1,000 at the request of the
appropriate representatives of Deceased Holders of Certificates of such Class
and at the request of Living Holders of Certificates of such Class or by
mandatory distributions, pursuant to Section 4.07(a) and Section 4.07(d). On and
after the earlier of (i) the Credit Support Depletion Date and (ii) the date on
which any loss is allocated to such Class or its Corresponding Class by Pro Rata
Allocation, distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such
Class will be made on a pro rata basis pursuant to Section 4.07(e).
(a) On each Distribution Date (prior to the earlier of (i) the Credit
Support Depletion Date and (ii) the date on which any loss is allocated to the
Special Retail Certificates or their Corresponding Classes by Pro Rata
Allocation) on which principal distributions to a Class of Special Retail
Certificates are made, such distributions will be made in the following
priority:
(i) first, to requesting Deceased Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by DTC, but not exceeding an aggregate
amount of $100,000 for each requesting Deceased Holder; and
(ii) second, to requesting Living Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by DTC, but not exceeding an aggregate
amount of $10,000 for each requesting Living Holder.
Thereafter, distributions will be made, with respect to such Class of Special
Retail Certificates, as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above up to a second
$100,000 and $10,000, respectively. This sequence of priorities will be repeated
until all requests for principal distributions by Deceased Holders and Living
Holders of such Class have been honored, to the extent of amounts available for
principal distributions to such Class.
All requests for principal distributions to Special Retail Certificates
will be accepted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.07(c).
Requests for principal distributions that are received by the Trustee after the
related Record Date and requests for principal distributions received in a
timely manner but not accepted with respect to any Distribution Date, will be
treated as requests for principal distributions to Special Retail Certificates
on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each succeeding Distribution Date
thereafter, until each such request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided in
Section 4.07(c). Such requests as are not so withdrawn shall retain their order
of priority without the need for any further action on the part of the
appropriate Holder of the related Special Retail Certificate, all in accordance
with the procedures of DTC and the Trustee. Upon the transfer of beneficial
ownership of any Special Retail Certificate, any distribution request previously
submitted with respect to such Certificate will be deemed to have been withdrawn
only upon the receipt by the Trustee on or before the Record Date for such
Distribution Date of notification of such withdrawal in the manner set forth in
Section 4.07(c) using a form required by DTC.
131
Distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of any Class
of Special Retail Certificates will be applied in an amount equal to the portion
of the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount allocable to such Class pursuant
to Section 4.04, plus any amounts available for distribution from the applicable
Rounding Account established as provided in Section 3.22, provided that the
aggregate distribution of principal to such Class on any Distribution Date shall
be made in an integral multiple of $1,000.
To the extent that the portion of the Senior Principal Distribution
Amount allocable to the Corresponding Class of any Class of Special Retail
Certificates on any Distribution Date exceeds the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of Special Retail Certificates of such Class with respect to
which principal distribution requests, as set forth above, have been received,
principal distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such
Class of Special Retail Certificates will be made by mandatory distribution
pursuant to Section 4.07(d).
(b) A Special Retail Certificate shall be deemed to be held by a
Deceased Holder for purposes of this Section 4.07 if the death of the Holder
thereof is deemed to have occurred. Special Retail Certificates beneficially
owned by tenants by the entirety, joint tenants or tenants in common will be
considered to be beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by
the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed to be the death of
the Holder, and the Special Retail Certificates so beneficially owned will be
eligible for priority with respect to principal distributions, subject to the
limitations stated above. Special Retail Certificates beneficially owned by a
trust will be considered to be beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the
trust to the extent of such beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no
event will a trust's beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Holders of a
number of Special Retail Certificates greater than the number of Special Retail
Certificates of which such trust is the owner. The death of a beneficiary of a
trust will be deemed to be the death of a Holder of the Special Retail
Certificates beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of such beneficiary's
beneficial interest in such trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant
by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy which is the
beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the beneficiary of such
trust. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to
substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in a Special Retail
Certificate will be deemed to be the death of the Holder of such Special Retail
Certificate regardless of the registration of ownership, if such beneficial
ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. Such
beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of street name or
nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act and community property or other joint ownership arrangements between
a husband and wife. Beneficial interest shall include the power to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of a Special Retail Certificate and the right to
receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and principal distributions,
as applicable, payable with respect thereto. The Trustee may rely entirely upon
documentation delivered to it in establishing beneficial ownership interests in
Special Retail Certificates. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to
determine independently the occurrence of the death of any deceased Holder. The
Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to Section
4.07(c) in establishing the eligibility of any Holder to receive the priority
accorded Deceased Holders in Section 4.07(a).
(c) Requests for principal distributions to any Special Retail
Certificate must be made by delivering a written request therefor to the DTC
Participant or Indirect DTC Participant that
132
maintains the account evidencing such Holder's interest in such Certificate. In
the case of a request on behalf of a Deceased Holder, appropriate evidence of
death and any tax waivers are required to be forwarded to the Trustee under
separate cover. The DTC Participant should in turn make the request of DTC (or,
in the case of an Indirect DTC Participant, such Indirect DTC Participant must
notify the related DTC Participant of such request, which DTC Participant should
make the request of DTC) on a form required by DTC and provided to the DTC
Participant. Upon receipt of such request, DTC will date and time stamp such
request and forward such request to the Trustee. DTC may establish such
procedures as it deems fair and equitable to establish the order of receipt of
requests for such distributions received by it on the same day. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of requests for distributions or withdrawals of such requests by DTC, a
DTC Participant or any Indirect DTC Participant.
The Trustee shall maintain a list of those DTC Participants
representing the appropriate Holders of Special Retail Certificates that have
submitted requests for principal distributions, together with the order of
receipt and the amounts of such requests. Subject to the priorities described in
Section 4.07(a) above, DTC will honor requests for distributions in the order of
their receipt. The Trustee shall notify DTC as to which requests should be
honored on each Distribution Date at least two Business Days prior to such
Distribution Date and shall notify DTC as to the portion of the REMIC II
Available Distribution Amount (together with any amounts available for
distribution from the applicable Rounding Account) to be distributed to the
Special Retail Certificates by mandatory distribution pursuant to Section
4.07(d). Requests shall be honored by DTC in accordance with the procedures, and
subject to the priorities and limitations, described in this Section 4.07. The
exact procedures to be followed by the Trustee and DTC for purposes of
determining such priorities and limitations will be those established from time
to time by the Trustee or DTC, as the case may be. The decisions of the Trustee
and DTC concerning such matters will be final and binding on all affected
persons.
Special Retail Certificates that have been accepted for a distribution
shall be due and payable on the applicable Distribution Date. Such Certificates
shall cease to bear interest after the last calendar day of the month preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.
Any Holder of a Special Retail Certificate that has requested a
principal distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the
DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participant that maintains such Holder's
account. In the event that such account is maintained by an Indirect DTC
Participant, such Indirect DTC Participant must notify the related DTC
Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such request, on a form
required by DTC, to DTC to be forwarded to the Trustee. If such notice of
withdrawal of a request for distribution has not been received by DTC and
forwarded to the Trustee on or before the Record Date for the next Distribution
Date, the previously made request for a principal distribution will be
irrevocable with respect to the making of principal distributions on such
Distribution Date.
In the event any requests for principal distributions are rejected by
the Trustee for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.07,
the Trustee shall return such request to the appropriate DTC Participant with a
copy to DTC with an explanation as to the reason for such rejection.
133
(d) To the extent, if any, that principal distributions to be made to
any Class of Special Retail Certificates on a Distribution Date exceed the
aggregate amount of principal distribution requests for such Class which have
been received on or before the applicable Record Date, as provided in Section
4.07(a) above, additional Special Retail Certificates of such Class will be
selected to receive mandatory principal distributions in lots equal to $1,000 in
accordance with the then-applicable Random Lot procedures of DTC, and the
then-applicable procedures of the DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants
representing the Holders (which procedures may or may not be by random lot). The
Trustee shall notify DTC of the aggregate amount of the mandatory principal
distribution to be made on the next Distribution Date. DTC shall then allocate
such aggregate amount among the DTC Participants on a Random Lot basis. Each DTC
Participant and, in turn, each Indirect DTC Participant will then select, in
accordance with its own procedures, Special Retail Certificates from among those
held in its accounts to receive mandatory principal distributions, such that the
total amount of principal distributed to the Special Retail Certificates so
selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such mandatory distributions
allocated to such DTC Participant by DTC and to such Indirect DTC Participant by
its related DTC Participant, as the case may be. DTC Participants and Indirect
DTC Participants that hold Special Retail Certificates selected for mandatory
principal distributions are required to provide notice of such mandatory
distributions to the affected Holders. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee of the amount of principal distributions to be made on each Distribution
Date in a timely manner such that the Trustee may fulfill its obligations under
the Depositary Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Distribution Date on and after the earlier of (i) the Credit Support Depletion
Date and (ii) the date on which any loss is allocated to a Class of Special
Retail Certificates or its Corresponding Class by Pro Rata Allocation,
distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such Class will be
made pro rata among the Holders of the Certificates of such Class and will not
be made in integral multiples of $1,000 nor pursuant to requests for
distribution as permitted by Section 4.07(a) or by mandatory distributions as
provided for by Section 4.07(d).
(f) In the event that Definitive Certificates representing Special
Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.09, an amendment to this
Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any Certificateholders,
shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which distributions in
reduction of the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Special Retail
Certificates are to be made; provided that such procedures shall be consistent,
to the extent practicable and customary for certificates similar to the Special
Retail Certificates, with the provisions of this Section 4.07.
ARTICLE V
The Certificates
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in
Exhibit A and B with the additional insertion from Exhibit H attached hereto,
and shall be executed by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee (or any duly
appointed Authenticating Agent) and
134
delivered (i) upon and pursuant to the order of the Company and (ii) upon
receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The
Certificates shall be issuable in Authorized Denominations evidencing Percentage
Interests. Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by authorized officers of the Trustee. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time
of execution 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 for herein executed by the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The following definitions apply for purposes of this Section 5.01:
"Disqualified Organization" means any Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee, but does not include any "Pass-Through Entity" which owns or holds a
Residual Certificate and of which a Disqualified Organization, directly or
indirectly, may be a stockholder, partner or beneficiary; "Pass-Through Entity"
means any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common
trust fund, partnership, trust or estate, and any organization to which Section
1381 of the Code applies; "Ownership Interest" means, with respect to any
Residual Certificate, any ownership or security interest in such Residual
Certificate, including any interest in a Residual Certificate as the Holder
thereof and any other interest therein whether direct or indirect, legal or
beneficial, as owner or as pledgee; "Transfer" means any direct or indirect
transfer or sale of, or directly or indirectly transferring or selling any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate; and "Transferee" means any Person
who is acquiring by Transfer any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate.
(c) Restrictions on Transfers of the Residual Certificates to
Disqualified Organizations are set forth in this Section 5.01(c).
(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 Trustee
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 Trustee of any change
or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
135
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to a U.S. Person,
the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its
receipt of (1) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transferee
Affidavit and Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit J from
the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company, representing and warranting, among other things,
that it is not a Non-U.S. Person, 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 who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as
it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it
has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.01(c) and agrees
to be bound by them, and (2) a certificate, attached hereto as
Exhibit I, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Residual
Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company, representing and warranting, among other things, that
no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to
impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause
(B) above, if the Trustee 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 agrees by holding or
acquiring such Ownership Interest (i) to require a Transferee
Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest and to
provide a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J; (ii) to obtain the express written
consent of the Company prior to any transfer of such Ownership
Interest, which consent may be withheld in the Company's sole
discretion; and (iii) to provide a certificate to the Trustee
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J and all of such other documents as
shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to
such registration.
(iii) (A) If any "disqualified organization" (as defined in
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law,
to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of registration of
136
such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any Non-U.S.
Person shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then
the last preceding holder which is a U.S. Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of the Transfer to such Non-U.S. Person of such
Residual Certificate. If a transfer of a Residual Certificate
is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 5.01(c) 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 5.01(c) 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 Company 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 Company on such terms as the
Company may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Company. Such purchaser may be
the Company itself or any affiliate of the Company. The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Company or its affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the
Company 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 Company, and the Company 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 Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make
available, upon written request from the Trustee, 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
not a Permitted Transferee, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Residual Certificates required to be provided to
the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(5), and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common
trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organizations described in
Section 1381 of the Code having as among its record holders at any time
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee. Reasonable compensation
for providing such information may be required by the Company from such
Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.01 set forth prior to
this Section (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated by the Company
and the Trustee, provided that there shall have been delivered to the
Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each of the Rating
Agencies to the effect that the modification, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause
137
such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current Ratings of
the Certificates (determined in the case of the Insured
Certificates, without giving effect to the Certificate
Insurance Policy); and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company (as evidenced by a certificate of
the Company), to the effect that such modification, addition
to or absence of such provisions will not cause REMIC I, REMIC
II and REMIC III to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not
create a risk that (1) REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III may be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee or (2) a Certificateholder or another Person will
be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a
Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(vi) The following legend shall appear on all Residual
Certificates:
ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE
MADE ONLY IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT TO
THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT EITHER (A)
THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY
FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR
INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY ORGANIZATION (OTHER
THAN A COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE) WHICH IS
EXEMPT FROM THE TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH
ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 511 OF THE CODE,
(C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE
(ANY SUCH PERSON DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A), (B), OR (C)
BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A "DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION"), OR (D)
AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO PURPOSE OF SUCH
TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR TO IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR
COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS
AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY
TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CLASS R CERTIFICATE TO A
DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT 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 HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE. EACH HOLDER OF
THE CLASS R CERTIFICATE BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE
DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(vii) The Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and
REMIC III, while not a Disqualified Organization, shall be the tax
matters person for the related
138
REMIC within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d).
(d) In the case of any Junior Subordinate Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) an
officer's certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company, which officer's certificate shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Company, and (ii) only if such officer's certificate
indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a
Benefit Plan Opinion.
In the case of any Residual Certificate presented for registration in
the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement which includes the representation set forth in paragraph 18 of the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (ii) only if the representation set forth
in such paragraph 18 indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in
connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.
(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition is made in accordance with this Section 5.01(e) or Section
5.01(f). Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership interest in any
Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition
of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions of this Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f), as applicable. No
transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in
accordance with this Section 5.01(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee
is provided with the certificates and an Opinion of Counsel, if required, on
which the Trustee may conclusively rely, to the effect that such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, as follows:
In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from
the Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer certify to the Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications
to such Exhibit F as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the
proposed transfer, and that the Certificateholder's proposed transferee certify
to the Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit G
as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer. If
such certificate of the proposed transferee does not contain substantially the
substance of Exhibit G, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made without registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC
II Trust Fund, the REMIC III Trust Fund or the Company. Such Opinion of Counsel
shall allow for the forwarding, and the Trustee shall forward, a copy thereof to
the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Subordinate
Certificate may be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5.01(f).
(f) To effectuate a Certificate transfer of a Junior Subordinate
Certificate in accordance with this Section 5.01(f), the proposed transferee of
such Certificate must provide the Trustee and the Company with an investment
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Company,
139
and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i)
is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its
own account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely
on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed transferee of
such Certificate shall not be required to provide the Trustee or the Company
with Annex 1 or Annex 2 to the form of Exhibit L attached hereto if the Company
so consents prior to each such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of this Section 5.01(f). The Holder of a
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the
Trustee, the Company, and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that
may result if transfer is not made in accordance with this Agreement.
(g) (1) In the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, the prospective transferee shall be
required to provide the Trustee and the Company (A) an officer's certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer's
certificate shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Company, and (B) only if such officer's certificate indicates that a Benefit
Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification (and, if
applicable, a Benefit Plan Opinion) as described in Section 5.01(g)(1)
above will not be required with respect to the transfer of any ERISA
Restricted Certificate to a Clearing Agency, or for any subsequent
transfer of any interest in a ERISA Restricted Certificate for so long
as such Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate (each such ERISA
Restricted Certificate, a "Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate").
Any transferee of a Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate will be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of
such Certificate (or interest therein), that either (i) such transferee
is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any
person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of any such plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing such Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan (a
"Plan Investor"), (ii) such transferee is an insurance company, the
source of funds to be used by it to acquire or hold such Certificate is
an "insurance company general account" (within the meaning of
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
95-60), and the conditions in Section I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (ii), a "Complying
Insurance Company") or (iii) such Certificate was rated "BBB-" or
better (or its equivalent) by at least one of the Rating Agencies at
the time of such transferee's acquisition of such Certificate (or
interest therein).
(3) If any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or any
interest therein) is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of
Section 5.01(g)(2) above, then the last preceding transferee that
either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii) is a Complying Insurance
Company or (iii) acquired such Certificate at a time when such
Certificate was rated "BBB-" or better (or its equivalent) by at least
one of the Rating Agencies shall be restored, to the extent permitted
by law, to all rights and obligations as Beneficial Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of transfer of such Certificate by such
preceding transferee.
140
The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for making any
payments due on such Certificate to such preceding transferee.
(4) Any purported Beneficial Holder whose acquisition or
holding of any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or interest
therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.01(g) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Trust and the Underwriter from and against any and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as
a result of such acquisition or holding.
Section 5.02. Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of
Principal and Interest; Authorized Denominations. The aggregate principal amount
of the Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement
is limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date (and, with respect to the November Loans, after the deduction of
the principal portion of the November 1, 2001, scheduled monthly payments), as
specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, except for
Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03. Such
aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or more Classes having
designations, types of interests, initial per annum Certificate Interest Rates,
initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity Dates as specified in the
Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate Percentage Interest of
each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal Balance equals zero as
of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement
is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.
Section 5.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
The Trustee shall cause to be maintained at one of its offices or at its
designated agent, a Certificate Register in which there shall be recorded the
name and address of each Certificateholder. Subject to such reasonable rules and
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall be
amended from time to time by the Trustee or its agent to reflect notice of any
changes received by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to Section 10.06. The
Trustee hereby appoints itself as the initial Certificate Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of State
Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., 00 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Corporate Trust Window, or such other address or agency as may
hereafter be provided to the Master Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations of like
Percentage Interest. At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may
be exchanged for other Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like
Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee, or any Authenticating
Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so required by the Trustee or
any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form
141
satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or
transfer of Certificates, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange or transfer of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be
cancelled by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.
Section 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent, or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
there is delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent (and with respect
to the Insured Certificates, the Certificate Insurer) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence
of notice to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a
new Certificate of like Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the REMIC
III Trust Fund (or with respect to the Class R Certificates, the residual
ownership interests in the REMIC I Trust Fund, REMIC II Trust Fund and REMIC III
Trust Fund) as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer (with respect to the Insured Certificates)
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, Section 4.04 and Section 4.05 and for
all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.06. Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the
Certificates, the Trustee may execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any Authorized Denomination,
of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and
with such variations in form from the forms of the Certificates set forth as
Exhibits A, B, C and H hereto as the Trustee's officers executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates may remain in the form of
temporary Certificates.
142
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days after the
Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of
definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10
hereof, without charge to the holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any such exchange shall be borne by the Master
Servicer. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.
Section 5.07. Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized
Denomination representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Book-Entry
Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the
name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Beneficial Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such
Beneficial Holder's interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as
provided above and in Section 5.09. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the
following legend:
Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the
Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or
payment, and any Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative
of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity
as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an
interest herein.
Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant
to Section 5.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall be in full force
and effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Master Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry
Certificates) as the sole Certificateholder;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.07
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 5.07 shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised
only through the Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be
limited to those established by
143
law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Clearing
Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the Depositary
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant
to Section 5.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the DTC Participants and receive and transmit
distributions of principal and interest on the related Class of
Book-Entry Certificates to such DTC Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or
consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial
Holders owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest represented by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may
take conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the
extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.09, the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related DTC Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
Section 5.09. Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Master Servicer
notifies the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depositary Agreement
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trustee or the Master
Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Master Servicer, at
its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the
Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Certificateholders holding Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 66% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of such Certificates advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through DTC
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificateholders with respect to such
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify all Certificateholders of Book-Entry
Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions
from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall execute and the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for all of the Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the
extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
144
Section 5.10. Office for Transfer of Certificates. The Trustee shall
maintain in Massachusetts and in New York, New York, an office or agency where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Corporate Trust Office and State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., 00
Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Window are initially
designated for said purposes.
ARTICLE VI
The Company and the Master Servicer
Section 6.01. Liability of the Company and the Master Servicer. The
Company and the Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the

Servicer. Any Corporation into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be

or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or any Corporation succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer
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.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master
Servicer and Others. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer

by a Servicer or for such Person's or Servicer's 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 Company, the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of duties and
obligations hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer may rely in

Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense relating to any Mortgage Loan (other than as otherwise permitted in
this Agreement) or incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company and the Master
Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to the Mortgage Loans, this
145
Agreement, the Certificates or the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Company and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate
Account, as provided by Section 3.05.
Section 6.04. The Company and the Master Servicer not to Resign. The
Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties (including, without
limitation, its obligations and duties as initial Master Servicer) hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any successor Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Company or any successor
Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.
If the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer, then the
successor Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any
information received by such successor Master Servicer which affects or relates
to an ongoing obligation or right of the Company under this Agreement.
Section 6.05. Trustee Access. The Master Servicer shall afford the
Company and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours
access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer, in respect of the
Mortgage Loans and in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access
to such of its officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable
request, the Master Servicer, shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with its
most recent financial statements (or, for so long as the Company is the Master
Servicer, the most recent consolidated financial statements for the Company
appearing in the audited financial statements of Washington Mutual, Inc., or the
entity with whose financial statements the financial statements of the Company
are consolidated) and such other information as it possesses, and which it is
not prohibited by law or, to the extent applicable, binding obligations to third
parties with respect to confidentiality from disclosing, regarding its business,
affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
Default
Section 7.01. Events of Default. (a) In case one or more of the
following Events of Default by the Master Servicer or by a successor Master
Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the
Certificate Account any payment required to be deposited therein by the
Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of ten days after the date upon which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been
146
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund; or
(ii) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a
period of 60 days after 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 Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund; or
(iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling 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
(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 bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) Any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Monthly
P&I Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) which continues
unremedied at the opening of business on the Distribution Date in
respect of which such Monthly P&I Advance was to have been made;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund,
by notice in writing to the Company and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee
if given by the Certificateholders, in which case such notice shall set forth
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such Event of Default has
occurred and shall not have been remedied) may terminate all of the rights
(other than its right to reimbursement for advances) and obligations of the
Master Servicer, including its right to the Master Servicing Fee, under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, if any.
Such determination shall be final and binding. 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 or the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
147
the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall
at the time be credited by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Account or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as
a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Monthly P&I Advances and other
advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.02
to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make
any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default
described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the
Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date. If
the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days following such suspension
remit to the Trustee the amount of any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of
which by the Master Servicer was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of
this Section 7.01(a), the Trustee, subject to the last sentence of this
paragraph, shall permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer agrees that it will reimburse
the Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee
because of action taken pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). The
Master Servicer agrees that if an Event of Default as described in clause (vi)
of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur more than two times in any twelve month
period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer
to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.
(b) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the
Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Company contained in the Certificates or in this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to
the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III
Trust Fund; or
(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Company
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
148
(iii) The Company shall consent to the appointment of a
trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Company or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(iv) The Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund, by notice
in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may direct the Trustee in accordance
with Section 10.03 to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder to enforce the Company's obligations hereunder.
(c) In any circumstances in which this Agreement states that
Certificateholders owning Certificates evidencing a certain percentage
Percentage Interest in the REMIC III Trust Fund may take certain action, such
action shall be taken by the Trustee, but only if the requisite percentage of
Certificateholders required under this Agreement for taking like action or
giving like instruction to the Trustee under this Agreement shall have so
directed the Trustee in writing.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the date on which the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Master Servicer resigns
pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to
the Master Servicer under this Agreement and under the Selling and Servicing
Contracts with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool and with
respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all
the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto arising on or after such date of termination or
resignation placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and
thereof, and shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the
Master Servicer; provided, that the Trustee shall not under any circumstances be
responsible for any representations and warranties or any Purchase Obligation of
the Company or any liability incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such date
of termination or resignation and the Trustee shall not be obligated to make a
Monthly P&I Advance if it is prohibited by law from so doing. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain or to
withdraw from the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to
act hereunder, except for those amounts due to the Master Servicer as
reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts previously expended and
are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee is
obligated to act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make
149
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, together with the compensation to the Trustee, be in
excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such
successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) In connection with any termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, in the event that any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Loans,
either (i) the successor Master Servicer (including the Trustee if the Trustee
is acting as successor Master Servicer) shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the MERS Loans, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Master Servicer in registering the transfer of servicing of
the MERS Loans to the successor Master Servicer on the MERS'r' System in
accordance with MERS' rules and procedures, or (ii) if the successor Master
Servicer is not a member of MERS, the predecessor Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in (A) de-registering the MERS
Loans from the MERS'r' System and (B) causing MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment from MERS to the Trustee of the Mortgage securing each MERS Loan in
recordable form and in the form otherwise provided under clause (X)(iii) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" herein and to execute and deliver such other
notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
effect such de-registration and assignment. The successor Master Servicer shall
promptly cause the assignments referred to in clause (ii)(B) of the immediately
preceding sentence to be recorded or filed, except in states where, in the
opinion of counsel admitted to practice in such state acceptable to the Company,
the Trustee and the Rating Agencies submitted in lieu of such recording or
filing, such recording or filing is not required to protect the Trustee's
interest in such Mortgage Loans against creditors of, or against sale, further
assignments, satisfaction or discharge by, the Lender, a Servicer, the Company
or the Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all
fees of MERS and all fees and costs of preparing and recording any assignments
of Mortgages as required under this Section 7.02(b).
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such
termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
ARTICLE VIII
Concerning the Trustee
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) 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 its exercise as a
150
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) 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 are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such certificate,
statement, opinion, report, or other order or instrument furnished by the
Company or Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement,
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee, and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders holding
Certificates which evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or relating to the exercise of any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee under this Agreement.
(d) Within ten days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Rating Agencies notice
of each Event of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) notice of each Event of
Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Certificateholders;
and provided, further, that in the case of any Event of Default of the character
specified in Section 7.01(i) and Section 7.01(ii) no such notice to
Certificateholders or to the Rating Agencies shall be given until at least 30
days after the occurrence thereof.
151
(e) Concurrently with the execution hereof, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Certificate Insurer the Insurance Agreement dated of even
date herewith and shall perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with
the terms thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to review or otherwise
determine the adequacy of the Insurance Agreement on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. 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,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(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 personally liable for any
action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder
and after the curing of all 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 Holders of Certificates (including the Certificate Insurer, with
respect to the Insured Certificates) evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security, if any, afforded to
it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
proceeding;
(v) The Trustee may execute the trust or any of the powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys;
(vi) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of any matter, including without limitation an Event of Default,
unless actually known by a Responsible Officer, or unless written
notice thereof referencing this Agreement or the Certificates is
received at the Corporate Trust Office at the address set forth in
Section 10.06;
(vii) In no event shall the Trustee be held liable for acts or
omissions of the Master Servicer (excepting the Trustee's own actions
as Master Servicer). No provision
152
of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder (except for the giving of required
notices), or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing the repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it; and
(viii) When the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.02, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the
Trustee is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment
permitted hereunder, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity)
or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or its affiliate
is acting as an agent of the Trustee or of any third person or dealing
as principal for its own account.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein (other than those relating to the due
organization, power and authority of the Trustee) and in the Certificates (other
than the execution of, and certificate of authentication on, the Certificates)
shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or any
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Master
Servicer, the Servicers or the Company in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited into the Custodial Accounts for P&I, any Buydown Fund Account, or the
Custodial Accounts for P&I by any Servicer or into the Investment Account, or
the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or the Company.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee or any agent or
affiliate of the Trustee, in its individual 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. The Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
Subject to any separate written agreement with the Trustee, the Master Servicer
covenants and agrees to, and the Master Servicer shall, pay the Trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to payment, for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon the Trustee's request for all reasonable expenses and
disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement and indemnify the Trustee from any loss, liability
or expense incurred by it hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly
in its employ) except any such expense or disbursement as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith. Such obligation shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company shall, at its
expense, prepare or cause to be prepared all federal and state income tax and
franchise tax and information returns relating to the REMIC I Trust Fund, the
REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund required to be prepared or filed
by the Trustee and shall indemnify the Trustee for any liability of the Trustee
arising from any error in such returns.
153
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be (i) an institution insured by the FDIC, (ii) a
corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and (iii) acceptable to the Rating Agencies. If such corporation or
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of any aforementioned supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall 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.
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 Master Servicer, 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 property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating
more than 50% of the REMIC III Trust Fund may at any time remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate,
signed by such Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the resignation of the
Trustee shall be borne by the Trustee, and any expenses associated with the
removal of the Trustee shall be borne by the Master Servicer.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master
Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
154
of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor shall
deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files, related documents,
statements and all other property held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer
and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties
and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to (i) all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown
in the Certificate Register, (ii) the Certificate Insurer and (iii) the Rating
Agencies. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed.
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 resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such resulting or successor
corporation 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 the
REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund 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 to act as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III
Trust Fund and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund,
or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable; provided, that the Trustee
shall remain liable for all of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to
make such appointment; provided, that the Trustee shall remain liable for all of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
155
successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Certificateholders 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 and severally, 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 the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or the
REMIC III Trust Fund 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 trustee(s) and
co-trustee(s), as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee(s) or co-trustee(s) shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee.
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 the trust 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. Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or
more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Master
Servicer and must be a corporation, trust company or banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state, having a principal office and place of business in New York, New
York or a principal office and place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and a
place of business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or
156
consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent so long as it shall be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this
Section 8.11 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. The Trustee may,
upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the
agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.11, the Trustee may appoint,
upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Authenticating
Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating
Agent. Any reasonable compensation paid to an Authenticating Agent shall be a
reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.
Section 8.12. Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more Paying
Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in making
withdrawals from the Certificate Account, and distributions to
Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.01, Section 4.04, Section 4.05(a)
and Section 9.01(b) to the extent directed to do so by the Master Servicer.
Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the
Certificate Account by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include
such a withdrawal on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Whenever reference
is made in this Agreement to a distribution by the Trustee or the furnishing of
a statement to Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed
to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Trustee by a
Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Trustee such information
concerning the Certificate Account as the Trustee shall request from time to
time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and
must be a corporation, trust company or banking association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having
a principal office and place of business in New York, New York or a principal
office and place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and a place of business in
New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Paying
Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such corporation
after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession
meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 8.12.
157
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Master Servicer; provided, that the Paying
Agent has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise accounted, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Master Servicer, for all amounts it has withdrawn
from the Certificate Account. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of
the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Master
Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may
appoint, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Paying
Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Paying Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. Any
reasonable compensation paid to any Paying Agent shall be a reimbursable expense
pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.
ARTICLE IX
Termination
Section 9.01. Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to
Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby shall terminate upon (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to
the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of all Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at
a price equal, after the deduction of related advances, to the sum of (x) the
excess of (A) 100% of the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than
a Liquidated Mortgage Loan) through the last day of the month of such purchase,
over (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Liquidated Mortgage
Loan, the amount of the Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage
Loan as of the date of such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that
the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by
such Bankruptcy Loss, and (y) the appraised fair market value as of the
effective date of the termination of the trust created hereby of (A) all
property in the Trust Fund which secured a Mortgage Loan and which was acquired
by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the Cut-Off Date, including
related Insurance Proceeds, and (B) all other property in the Trust Fund, any
such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, or (ii) the later of the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and the payment to the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer of all amounts required to be
paid to them hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the trusts
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
survivor of
158
the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call
Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and any Mortgaged Properties acquired by the Trust Fund at the price stated in
clause (i) of the preceding paragraph. If such right is exercised, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer (and to the
Master Servicer, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the
written certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in
order to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate
Account) and the Trustee shall promptly execute all instruments as may be
necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files and
any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust Fund.
In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts
other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in
order to terminate the Trust Fund or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this
Section 9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any
amounts in connection with such termination or purchase.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to
Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final
distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the "Termination Date"),
(ii) the amount of such final payment (the "Termination Payment") and (iii) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the
Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate
Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall
terminate subject to the Master Servicer's obligation to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination
Date, the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in
trust hereunder.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 9.01, the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund and
the REMIC III Trust Fund
159
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Master Servicer, at its own expense, obtains for the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the
REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund and REMIC III Trust Fund to comply
with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II
Trust Fund and the REMIC III Trust Fund as described in Section 860F of the
Code, or (ii) cause the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC
III Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set
forth in the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.01, the Tax
Matters Person shall prepare the documentation required and the Tax
Matters Person and the Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete
liquidation on behalf of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust
Fund and the REMIC III Trust Fund meeting the 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 Master Servicer, on behalf of the REMIC I Trust
Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund and the REMIC III Trust Fund; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
the Master Servicer as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the
assets of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund and the REMIC
III Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in the amount specified
in Section 9.01.
(b) By its acceptance of any Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof
hereby agrees to authorize the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee to adopt such
a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Tax Matters
Person and the Trustee and to take such other action in connection therewith as
may be reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Person or the Trustee.
Section 9.03. Trusts Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided herein,
the trusts created hereby are irrevocable.
ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 10.01. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, but with the prior written consent of the Certificate
Insurer with respect to any amendment that adversely affects the interests of
any of the Holders of the Insured Certificates: (i) to cure any ambiguity; (ii)
to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions herein; (iii) to comply with any
requirements imposed by the Code or any regulations thereunder; (iv) to correct
the description of any property at any time included in the REMIC I Trust Fund,
the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund, or to assure the
160
conveyance to the Trustee of any property included in the REMIC I Trust Fund,
the REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund; and (v) pursuant to Section
5.01(c)(v). No such amendment (other than one entered into pursuant to clause
(iii) of the preceding sentence) shall adversely affect in any material respect
the interest of any Certificateholder, and no such amendment shall change the
powers of the Master Servicer. Prior to entering into any amendment without the
consent of Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee may
require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted
under this paragraph. The placement of an "original issue discount" legend on,
or any change required to correct any such legend previously placed on a
Certificate shall not be deemed any amendment to this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of
the REMIC III Trust Fund for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Certificate affected thereby (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay
the timing of, distributions of principal or interest required to be made
hereunder or reduce the Certificateholder's Percentage Interest, the Certificate
Interest Rate or the Termination Payment with respect to any of the
Certificates, (ii) reduce the percentage of Percentage Interests specified in
this Section 10.01 which are required to amend this Agreement, (iii) create or
permit the creation of any lien against any part of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the
REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund, or (iv) modify any provision in
any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the Certificates.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Certificateholder. Any failure to provide such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 10.01 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.
Section 10.02. Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or the comparable
jurisdictions in which any Mortgaged Property is situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Company and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, but only
upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall make the
filings required by Chapter 182 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
161
Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement, the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or REMIC III Trust
Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding-up of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust Fund or
the REMIC III 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 or in any manner
otherwise to control the operation and management of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the
REMIC II Trust Fund or the REMIC III Trust Fund or the obligations of the
parties hereto (except as provided in Section 5.09, Section 7.01, Section 8.01,
Section 8.02, Section 8.07, Section 10.01 and this Section 10.03), nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing of
any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of the REMIC III Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding. However, the Trustee is under no obligation to
exercise any of the extraordinary trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at
the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders unless such
Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby. 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 whatever
by virtue or by availing 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 10.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
For so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists (and whether or
not any payments with respect to Deficiency Amounts or Preference Amounts have
been made), the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole Holder of all
outstanding Insured Certificates with respect to any rights hereunder (other
than the right to receive distributions on such Insured Certificates,
162
except as provided in Section 3.21); provided that such rights may not be used
to reduce the rights of the Holders of the Insured Certificates to receive
distributions or to otherwise impair their rights under this Agreement as
further described in the definition of "Certificateholder."
Section 10.04. Access to List of Certificateholders. The Certificate
Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within 30 days
after receipt of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as
the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of
distributions to such Certificateholders.
If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that
the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such list from the Certificate Registrar, afford such applicants access during
normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the
Trustee. If such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of
receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the
Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such
applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with
the Master Servicer and the Trustee that neither the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 10.05. Governing Law. This Agreement (including the creation of
the Trusts created hereunder) shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law) and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws without giving effect
to conflict of laws principles other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law.
Section 10.06. Notices. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered at or mailed by registered or certified mail to the
applicable Notice Address. Notices to the Rating Agencies shall also be deemed

Certificateholder receives such notice.
Section 10.07. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the
163
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 10.08. Counterpart Signatures. 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.

any Certificate, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the

Appendix 1: Definition of Class Y Principal Reduction Amounts
For any Distribution Date, the amounts by which the Class Principal
Balances of the Class C-Y-1 and Class C-Y-2 Regular Interests, respectively,
will be reduced on such Distribution Date by the allocation of Realized Losses
and the distribution of principal, determined as follows:
6.75% and 6.50% represent the Certificate Interest Rates applicable for
distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date on the Class
C-Y-1 and Class C-Y-2 Regular Interests respectively. 6.50%< 6.75%.
For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the
meanings set forth below:
P[u]I[u]I[u]B = the Groups II and III Subordinate Balance after the allocation
of Realized Losses and distributions of principal on such Distribution
Date.
P[u]I[u]B = the Group I Subordinate Balance after the allocation of Realized
Losses and distributions of principal on such Distribution Date.
R = the Class C-B Certificate Interest Rate = (6.75%P[u]I[u]B +
6.50%P[u]I[u]I[u]B)/ (P[u]I[u]I[u]B + P[u]I[u]B)
Y[u]1 = the Class C-Y-1 Principal Balance after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date.
Y[u]2 = the Class C-Y-2 Principal Balance after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date.
[D]Y[u]1 = the Class C-Y-1 Principal Reduction Amount.
[D]Y[u]2 = the Class C-Y-2 Principal Reduction Amount.
Z[u]1 = the Class C-Z-1 Principal Balance after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date.
Z[u]2 = the Class C-Z-2 Principal Balance after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date.
[D]Z[u]1 = the Class C-Z-1 Principal Reduction Amount.
[D]Z[u]2 = the Class C-Z-2 Principal Reduction Amount.
P[u]1 = the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class C-Y-1 and Class
C-Z-1 Regular Interests after distributions on the prior Distribution
Date, which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Group I
Loans reduced by the portion of the Class A-P-M Principal Balance
derived from Group I Loans.
P[u]2 = the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class C-Y-2 and Class
C-Z-2 Regular Interests after distributions on the prior Distribution
Date, which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Group II
and Group III Loans reduced by the Class II-P-M Principal Balance, the
portion of the Class A-P-M Principal Balance derived from Group III
Loans and the Class R-1 Principal Balance.
[D]P[u]1= the aggregate principal reduction resulting on such Distribution
Date on the Group I Loans as a result of principal distributions
(exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (d)(i) or
(d)(ii) of the definition of REMIC I Distribution Amount) to be made
and realized losses to be allocated on such Distribution Date, reduced
by the portion, if any, of such reduction allocable to the Class A-P-M
Regular Interest, which is equal to the aggregate of the Class C-Y-1
and Class C-Z-1 Principal Reduction Amounts.
[D]P[u]2= the aggregate principal reduction resulting on such Distribution Date
on the Group II and Group III Loans as a result of principal
distributions (exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses
(d)(i) or (d)(ii) of the definition of REMIC I Distribution Amount) to
be made and realized losses to be allocated on
1
such Distribution Date, reduced by the portion, if any, of such
reduction allocable to the Class A-P-M or Class II-P-M Regular
Interests or the Class R-1 Residual Interest, which is equal to the
aggregate of the Class C-Y-2 and Class C-Z-2 Principal Reduction
Amounts.
[a] = .0005
[g] = (R - 6.50%)/(6.75% - R). [g] is a non-negative number
unless its denominator is zero, in which event it is undefined.
If [g] is zero, [D]Y[u]1 = Y[u]1 and [D]Y[u]2 = (Y[u]2/P[u]2)[D]P[u]2.
If [g] is undefined, [D]Y[u]2 = Y[u]2, [D]Y[u]1 = (Y[u]1/P[u]1)[D]P[u]1.
In the remaining situations, [D]Y[u]1 and [D]Y[u]2 shall be defined as
follows:
1. If Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) >= 0, Y[u]2- [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2)
>= 0, and [g](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) < (P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1), [D]Y[u]1 = Y[u]1 -
[a][g](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) and [D]Y[u]2 = Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 -
[D]P[u]2).
2. If Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) => 0, Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) >= 0,
and [g](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) >= (P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1), [D]Y[u]1 = Y[u]1 -
[a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) and [D]Y[u]2 = Y[u]2 - ([a]/[g])(P[u]1 -
[D]P[u]1).
3. If Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) < 0, Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) >= 0,
and Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) >= Y[u]2 - (Y[u]1/[g]), [D]Y[u]1 =
Y[u]1 - [a][g](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) and [D]Y[u]2 = Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 -
[D]P[u]2).
4. If Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) < 0, Y[u]2 - (Y[u]1/[g]) >= 0, and Y[u]2 -
[a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) <= Y[u]2 - (Y[u]1/[g]), [D]Y[u]1 = 0 and [D]Y[u]2 =
Y[u]2 - (Y[u]1/[g]).
5. If Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) < 0, Y[u]2 - (Y[u]1/[g]) < 0, and Y[u]1 -
[a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) <= Y[u]1 - ([g]Y[u]2), [D]Y[u]1 = Y[u]1 - ([g]Y[u]2)
and [D]Y[u]2 = 0.
6. If Y[u]2 - [a](P[u]2 - [D]P[u]2) < 0, Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) >= 0,
and Y[u]1 - [a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) >= Y[u]1 - ([g]Y[u]2), [D]Y[u]1 = Y[u]1 -
[a](P[u]1 - [D]P[u]1) and [D]Y[u]2 = Y[u]2 - ([a]/[g])(P[u]1 -
[D]P[u]1).
The purpose of the foregoing definitional provisions together with the related
provisions allocating Realized Losses and defining the Class C-Y and Class C-Z
Principal Distribution Amounts is to accomplish the following goals in the
following order of priority:
1. Making the ratio of Y[u]1 to Y[u]2 equal to [g] after taking account of the
allocation of Realized Losses and the distributions that will be made
through end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate and
assuring that the Principal Reduction Amount for each of the Class C-Y-1,
Class C-Y-2, Class C-Z-1 and Class C-Z-2 Regular Interests is greater than
or equal to zero for such Distribution Date;
2. Making the Class C-Y-1 Principal Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of
the sum of the Class C-Y-1 and Class C-Z-1 Principal Balances and the Class
C-Y-2 Principal Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the
Class C-Y-2 and Class C-Z-2 Principal Balances in each case after giving
effect to allocations of Realized Losses and distributions to be made
through the end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate;
and
3. Making the larger of (a) the fraction whose numerator is Y[u]1 and whose
denominator is the sum of Y[u]1 and Z[u]1 and (b) the fraction whose
numerator is Y[u]2 and whose denominator is the sum of Y[u]2, and Z[u]2 as
large as possible while remaining less than or equal to 0.0005.
In the event of a failure of the foregoing portion of the definition of Class
C-Y Principal Reduction Amounts to accomplish both of goals 1 and 2 above, the
amounts thereof should be adjusted so as to accomplish such goals within the
requirement that each Class C-Y Principal Reduction Amount must be less than or
equal to the sum of (a) the principal portion of Realized Losses to be allocated
on the related Distribution Date for the related Loan Group remaining after the
allocation of such Realized Losses to the related Class P-M Regular Interest and
(b) the remainder of the REMIC I Available Distribution Amount for the related
Loan Group or Groups after reduction
2
thereof by the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date (i) to the
related Class P-M Regular Interest, if any, (ii) to the related Class X-M
Regular Interest, (iii) to the Class R-1 Residual Interest (if applicable) and
(iv) in respect of interest on the related Class C-Y and Class C-Z Regular
Interests, or, if both of such goals cannot be accomplished within such
requirement, such adjustment as is necessary shall be made to accomplish goal 1
within such requirement. In the event of any conflict among the provisions of
the definition of the Class C-Y Principal Reduction Amounts, such conflict shall
be resolved on the basis of the goals and their priorities set forth above
within the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence.
To calculate the initial balances for the Class C-Y-1, Class C-Y-2,
Class C-Z-1 and Class C-Z-2 Regular Interests, first calculate the Group I
Subordinate Balance and the aggregate Groups II and III Subordinate Balance as
of the Cut-Off Date. Then calculate R according to the definition above.
Calculate [g] according to the definition above. Calculate P[u]2 and P[u]1 as
the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Loans as of the Cut-Off Date
reduced by the portion of the Class A-P-M Principal Balance as of the Cut-Off
Date derived from Group I and the aggregate principal balance of the Group II
and Group III Loans as of the Cut-Off Date reduced by the Class II-P-M Principal
Balance, the portion of the Class A-P-M Principal Balance derived from Group III
and the Class R-1 Principal Balance each as of the Cut-Off Date, respectively.
If 0.0005 [g] P[u]2 <= 0.0005 P[u]1, Y[u]2 = 0.0005 P[u]2 and Y[u]1 = 0.0005 [g] P[u]2.
If 0.0005 [g] P[u]2 > 0.0005 P[u]1, Y[u]1 = 0.0005 P[u]1, Y[u]2 = 0.0005 P[u]1 /[g].
Then Z[u]2 = P[u]2 - Y[u]2 and Z[u]1 = P[u]1 - Y[u]1.

following labels; in any conformed copy of this Agreement, such symbols may be

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of or interest in
Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. or any of its affiliates. Neither
this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed by any agency
or instrumentality of the United States.
This certifies that the above-named Registered Owner is the registered
owner of certain interests in (i) a trust fund (the "REMIC I Trust Fund") whose
assets consist of, among other things, a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of

WASHINGTON MUTUAL MSC MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Washington Mutual MSC Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series and Class specified hereon (herein called the "Certificates") and
representing certain interests in the REMIC I Trust Fund, the REMIC II Trust
Fund and the REMIC III Trust Fund.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Company or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any
governmental agency. 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 Pooling Agreement. In the event funds
are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to
the Master Servicer from the related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from
other cash deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent that such advance
is not otherwise recoverable.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate
Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer
of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pooling Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of the Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of the REMIC III Trust Fund.
The Pooling 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 Pooling 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 of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by
the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized
Denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the portions of the
REMIC I Available Distribution Amount, the REMIC II Available Distribution
Amount and the REMIC III Available Distribution Amount distributable on this
Class of Certificate, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the
B-4
owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the trust funds
created thereby shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the REMIC I Trust Fund or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
and (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event
that the Company or the Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
the Pooling Agreement, the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee
distribute to the Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of
the unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest
thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in
which such purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require,
the Master Servicer to purchase from the REMIC I Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans
at the time subject thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
Loan upon payment to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the
Pooling Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the Certificates, the Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being
less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

is authorized to invest in the Purchased Certificates, and to enter into this

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.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL MSC MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Washington Mutual MSC Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series and Class specified hereon (herein called the "Certificates") and
representing certain interests in the REMIC III Trust Fund.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Company or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any
governmental agency. 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 Pooling Agreement. In the event funds
are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to
the Master Servicer from the related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from
other cash deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent that such advance
is not otherwise recoverable.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate
Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer
of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pooling Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of the Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of the REMIC III Trust Fund.
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 Pooling 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 Pooling 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 of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by
the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
[to be used only in the case of the Junior Subordinate Certificates:]
[No transfer of a Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from
or is made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and any applicable state
securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration
or qualification under applicable laws, (i) in the event such transfer is made
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Company and the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit L to the Pooling Agreement, which investment letter
shall not be an expense of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and
(ii) in the event that such a transfer is not made pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act, the Company may require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Company that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Company,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will
register the Certificate under the Securities Act, qualify the Certificate under
any state securities law or provide registration rights to any purchaser. Any
Holder
H-3
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Company 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.]
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized
Denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the portion of the REMIC
III Available Distribution Amount distributable on this Class of Certificate, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
[to be used only in the case of the Insured Certificates:] [Each Holder
of this Certificate hereby agrees for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer
that, to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either
directly or indirectly (as by paying through the Trustee), to the Holders of the
Insured Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be subrogated to the rights
of such Holder to the extent of such payments.]
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the trust funds
created thereby shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the REMIC I Trust Fund or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
and (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event
that the Company or the Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
the Pooling Agreement, the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee
distribute to the Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of
the unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest
thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in
which such purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require,
the Master Servicer to purchase from the REMIC I Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans
at the time subject thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
Loan upon payment to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the
Pooling Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the Certificates, the Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being
less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

6. The Purchaser has represented to the Seller that, if the

TRANSFEREE AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF )
) ss:
COUNTY OF )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or
beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate (the "Owner")), a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ] [the United States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and
agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and will endeavor
to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its
ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Class
R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from
which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form
as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or 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 or
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. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R 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 middle-man) for a disqualified
organization, 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 not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor
to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year
of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization 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.)
J-1
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
Transfer of the Class R-1 Certificates unless the transferee, or the
transferees' agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other
things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. 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. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Pooling
Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular,
clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.01(c) 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 the Owner holds such Certificates in violation of
Section 5.01). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
restrictions and provisions.
7. That 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 Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is __________________.
9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the purchase of the Class R
Certificates by the Owner is or will be to enable the transferor to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
10. That the Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder
of such Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person
from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay
taxes associated with holding such Certificates as they become due, fully
understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the Class R Certificates. That the Owner has provided financial
statements or other financial information requested by the transferor in
connection with the transfer of the Class R Certificates to permit the
transferor to assess the financial capability of the Owner to pay such taxes.
11. That 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 Class
R Certificates remain outstanding.
12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the
Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
13. That no purpose of the Owner relating to any sale of the Class R
Certificates by the Owner will be to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
14. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
15. The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company and to take
any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder
(whether now or hereafter promulgated) in
J-2
order to create or maintain the REMIC status of the REMIC I Trust Fund, the
REMIC II Trust Fund and the REMIC III Trust Fund (the "Trust Funds").
16. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that could
endanger the REMIC status of the Trust Funds or result in the imposition of tax
on the Trust Funds unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the Company has
provided an opinion that such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC
status or the imposition of such tax, as applicable.
17. The Owner as transferee of the Class R Certificates has represented
to their transferor that, if the Class R Certificates constitute a noneconomic
residual interest, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic
residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its
holding of the Class R Certificates as they become due.
18. That the Owner satisfies the condition in the paragraph marked
below [xxxx one paragraph only]:
___ The Owner is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a "Plan"), or any other person

144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or
made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other
manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the
Rule 144A Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), or that would render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a
violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto,
and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any person other
than the Buyer or another "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule
144A under the 0000 Xxx.
2. The Buyer warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the

144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other
similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general
solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or
taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the

disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the
1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor
has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such
manner with respect to the Rule 144A Securities.

an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Buyer, if the Buyer is a dealer,
(iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations,
(v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase
agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned
and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Buyer, the Buyer used the cost
of such securities to the Buyer and did not include any of the securities
referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate
amount, the Buyer may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the
Buyer, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Buyer in its
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the
Buyer's direction. However, such securities were not included if the Buyer is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Buyer is
not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Buyer acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands that the seller to it and other parties related to the Certificates
are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one
or more sales to the Buyer may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

Yes No Securities only for the Buyer's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the Buyer agrees
that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Buyer for the
account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule
144A, the Buyer will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the
time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A. In
addition, the Buyer agrees that the Buyer will not purchase securities for a
third party unless the Buyer has obtained a current representation letter from
such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.
7. The Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Buyer's purchase of Rule 144A Securities will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such
purchase.
