THIS
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2007, among CWALT,
INC., a
Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS,
INC. (“Countrywide”), a New York corporation, as a
seller (a “Seller”), PARK GRANADA LLC
(“Park Granada”), a Delaware limited liability
company, as a seller (a “Seller”), PARK MONACO INC.
(“Park Monaco”), a Delaware corporation, as a seller
(a “Seller”), PARK SIENNA LLC (“Park

“Seller”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING

WITNESSETH
THAT
In
consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties
to this Agreement agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trust Fund (excluding the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account
and the Carryover Reserve Fund), will consist of two real estate mortgage
investment conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Subsidiary
REMIC” and the “Master REMIC,” respectively). Each Certificate, other
than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more
regular interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the
sole Class of residual interest in each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master
REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Subsidiary REMIC Interests (other than the SR-A-R
Interest). The Subsidiary REMIC will hold as assets the all the
property of the Trust Fund (excluding the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized
Interest Account and the Carryover Reserve Fund). For federal income
tax purposes, each Subsidiary REMIC Interest and Master
REMIC Interest (except the SR-A-R Interest and the A-R Interest) is
hereby designated as a regular interest in its issuing REMIC. The
latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created hereby
shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The
Swap
Trust, the Swap Contracts and the Swap Accounts will not constitute any part
of
any REMIC.

Each
Class of Certificates will accrue interest at the related Pass-Through
Rate. Solely for federal income tax purposes: (i) the
Pass-Through Rate of each Class of Swap Certificates for each Distribution
Date will be the Pass-Through Rate at which such Certificates would
have
accrued interest in the event that the Swap Contract had been terminated
as of such Distribution Date, and (ii) Net Deferred Interest in
respect of
each Class of Swap Certificates for each Distribution Date will
be treated
in the manner Net Deferred Interest would have been treated in
respect of
such Certificates if the Swap Contract had been terminated as of
such
Distribution Date.
|

|
(2)
|
The
Class C-P Certificates will be comprised of two components (the
“PO
component” and the “IO component”), each of which is hereby designated as
a REMIC regular interest for federal income tax purposes. On
each Distribution Date, following the allocation of scheduled principal,
Principal Prepayments and Realized Losses, the PO component will
have a
principal balance equal to the Overcollateralized Amount for federal
income tax purposes. Distributions on the IO component are
described in Note (3) below).
|
|
(3)
|
For
each Interest Accrual Period the Class C-P Certificates are entitled
to the “Class C-P Distributable Amount,” which shall equal the sum of (i)
a specified portion of the interest on each of the Subsidiary REMIC
Regular Interests (excluding the SR-$100 and SR-A-R Interests)
in an
amount equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Adjusted Net
Mortgage
Rate of the Mortgage Loans over the product of two and the weighted
average of the pass-through rates of the related Subsidiary REMIC
interests, subjecting each such Class (other than the Class SR-Accrual
Interest) to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate in respect of
its
corresponding Class of Certificates and the Class SR-Accrual Interest
to a
cap equal to zero. The Class C-P Distributable Amount for any
Distribution Date is payable from current interest on the Mortgage
Loans
and any related Overcollateralization Reduction Amount for that
Distribution Date.
|
|
(4)
|
For
each Distribution Date the Class C-P Certificates are entitled to all
Prepayment Charge Amounts distributed with respect to the
Class SR-C-P Interests.
|
|
(5)
|
The
Class A-R Certificates represent the sole Class of residual interest
in each REMIC created hereunder. The Pass-Through Rate for the
Class A-R Certificates and any Interest Accrual Period will be a per
annum rate equal to the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate of the
Mortgage Loans.
|
It
is not
intended that the Class A-R Certificates be entitled to any cash flows pursuant
to this agreement except as provided in Sections 4.02(a) and 4.02(b) hereunder
(that is, its entitlement to $100.00 and interest thereon).
The
foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage
Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular
interest, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for
credit losses)—to any REMIC regular interest.

Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) Each
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby
sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor,
without recourse, all its respective right, title and interest in and to
the
related Initial Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received
or
receivable by such Seller, on or with respect to the applicable Initial
Mortgage
Loans after the Initial Cut-off Date and all interest and principal payments
on
the related Initial Mortgage Loans received prior to the Initial Cut-off
Date in
respect of installments of interest and principal due thereafter, but not
including payments of principal and interest due and payable on such Initial
Mortgage Loans, on or before the Initial Cut-off Date. On or prior to
the Closing Date, Countrywide shall deliver to the Depositor or, at the
Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor, the
Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(except that, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans (which may
include Countrywide Mortgage Loans, Park Granada Mortgage Loans, Park Monaco
Mortgage Loans or Park Sienna Mortgage Loans), such delivery may take place
within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date or twenty (20) days
following
the applicable Supplemental Transfer Date, as applicable). Such
delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor
of
the purchase price, previously agreed to by the Sellers and Depositor,
for the
Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Initial Mortgage Loan that does
not have a first payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of
the
first Distribution Date or any Supplemental Mortgage Loan that does not
have a
first payment date on or before the Due Date in the month after the related
Supplemental Transfer Date, Countrywide shall deposit into the Distribution
Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date relating to
the first
applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to one month’s interest at the
related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of
such
Mortgage Loan.
(b) Immediately
upon the conveyance of the Initial Mortgage Loans referred to in
clause (a), the Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to
the Trust Fund together with the Depositor’s right to require each Seller to
cure any breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement
by such
Seller or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in
accordance herewith.
(c) In
connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause (b) above,
the
Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee (or, in
the
case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans that are Initial Mortgage Loans,
will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days
following the Closing Date and in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans
that are Supplemental Mortgage Loans, will deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Trustee within twenty (20) days following the applicable Supplemental
Transfer Date) for the benefit of the Certificateholders the following
documents
or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
47
(i) (A) the
original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in blank
in the
following form: “Pay to the order of ____________ without recourse,” with all
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such endorsement
being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party
so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note);
or
(B) with
respect to any Lost
Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit from Countrywide stating that the
original
Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of such Mortgage
Note;
(ii) except
as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, (or, in the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged
Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a true copy of
the
Mortgage certified as such by the applicable notary) and in the case of
each
MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage or a copy of such mortgage, with
recording information, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans
and
either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the
Mortgage
Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination,
the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence
of
recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the
public
recording office in which such Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in
the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly
executed
assignment of the Mortgage or a copy of such assignment, with recording
information, (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments),
together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments
of
such mortgage or a copy of such assignment, with recording information,
(each
such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form
and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof,
under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if
the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to
be
provided by the recording office; provided, further, that such assignment
of
Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which the
related
Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
(iv) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance
or
substitution agreement, if any;
(v) except
as provided below, the original or a copy of lender’s title policy or a printout
of the electronic equivalent and all riders thereto; and
(vi) in
the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following documents
or
instruments:
48
(A) The
Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
(B) The
executed Security Agreement;
(C) The
executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) The
executed Recognition Agreement;
(E) The
executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of recording thereon which
have
been filed in all places required to perfect the applicable Seller’s interest in
the Coop Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and
(F) The
executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing
statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and unbroken line
from
the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in
a form
suitable for recordation).
In
addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan,
each
Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee’s expense, the MERS® System to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the Depositor have
been
assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
(and
any Supplemental Transfer Agreement, as applicable) for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer
files
the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. Each
Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master
Servicer
to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information
referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold by
such
Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless and until
such
Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
In
the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan
the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or a copy
of
such Mortgage, with recording information, (b) all interim recorded assignments
or a copy of such assignments, with recording information, or (c) the lender’s
title policy or a copy of the lender’s title policy (together with all riders
thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above,
respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement
because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable
public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because
the title policy has not been delivered to either the Master Servicer or
the
Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above,
the
Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause
(ii) or
(iii) above, such original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, or such interim assignment or a copy of such assignments,
with
recording information, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but
in no
event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date,
or, in
the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date;
provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver
by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of
the
fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing
an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and
in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and
the
public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments
affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the
Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance,
the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case
where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage
or in the
case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office,
Countrywide shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified
by
such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage.
49
As
promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and
in any
event, within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, the Trustee shall
(A) as
the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each assignment of
Mortgage: “CWALT, Inc., Series 2007-OA7, The Bank of New York, as
trustee”, (B) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records and (C) cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that (i)
with
respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not
received
the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form,
the
Trustee’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any
event
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (ii) the Trustee need
not
cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in any
jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which the recordation
of
such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the
Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan as evidenced by an
opinion of counsel delivered by Countrywide to the Trustee within 90 days
of the
Closing Date (which opinion may be in the form of a “survey” opinion and is not
required to be delivered by counsel admitted to practice law in the jurisdiction
as to which such legal opinion applies).
In
the
case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing
Date,
the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee,
will
deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is
required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after
the
Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, Countrywide (on
its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall
either
(i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the Depositor’s direction, to the
Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the Mortgage File as required
pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or
(ii) either (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan,
which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such
Section 2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a
Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30)
day
period provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best
reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of,
such
Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided
for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial
delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but
rather
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to
deliver.
At the end of such thirty (30) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay
Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered
during
such thirty (30) day period in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.02.
50
(d) Subject
to the execution and delivery of the related Supplemental Transfer Agreement
as
provided in Section 2.01(e) of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of
this Agreement, each Seller sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, on each Supplemental Transfer
Date,
with respect to each Supplemental Mortgage Loan sold by such Seller to
the
Depositor, all the right, title and interest of that Seller in and to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold by it identified in such Supplemental
Transfer
Agreement, including all interest and principal received and receivable
by such
Seller on or with respect to the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans on
and
after the related Supplemental Cut-off Date (to the extent not applied
in
computing the Cut-off Date Principal Balance thereof) or deposited into
the
Certificate Account by the related Seller, other than principal and interest
due
on such Supplemental Mortgage Loans prior to the related Supplemental Cut-off
Date.
Immediately
upon the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans referred to in the
preceding paragraph, the Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee for benefit of the Certificateholders,
without
recourse, all right title and interest in all of the Supplemental Mortgage
Loans.
Each
Seller has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase
of the
Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the Depositor and has agreed to take
the
actions specified herein. The Depositor, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby sells, transfers, assigns
and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and interest in the
portion of the Trust Fund not otherwise conveyed to the Trust Fund pursuant
to
Sections 2.01(a) or (b).
(e) Upon
five (5) Business Days written notice to the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Master
Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not a Seller) and the Rating Agencies,
on
any other Business Day during the Funding Period designated by Countrywide,
Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna, if applicable, the Depositor and
the
Trustee shall complete, execute and deliver a Supplemental Transfer Agreement
so
long as no Rating Agency has provided notice that the execution and delivery
of
such Supplemental Transfer Agreement will result in a reduction or withdrawal
of
the any ratings assigned to the Certificates. After the execution and
delivery of such Supplemental Transfer Agreement, on the Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall set aside in the Pre-Funding Account an amount
equal to
the Aggregate Supplemental Purchase Amount.
51
The
transfer of Supplemental Mortgage Loans and the other property and rights
relating to them on a Supplemental Transfer Date is subject to the satisfaction
of each of the following conditions:
(i) each
Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer Date
satisfies
the representations and warranties applicable to it under this Agreement;
provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a representation and
warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan, the obligation under
Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement of Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna, if applicable, to cure, repurchase or replace such Supplemental
Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy against such Seller respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee;
(ii) the
Trustee, the Underwriter and the Rating Agencies are provided with an Opinion
of
Counsel or Opinions of Counsel with respect to the tax treatment of the
Trust
Fund, to be delivered as provided pursuant to Section 2.01(f);
(iii) the
Rating Agencies and the Underwriter are provided with an Opinion of Counsel
or
Opinions of Counsel with respect to the validity of the conveyance of the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer Date,
to be
delivered as provided pursuant to Section 2.01(f);
(iv) the
execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer Agreement or conveyance
of
the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans does not result in a reduction
or
withdrawal of any ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating
Agencies;
(v) the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer Date
were
selected in a manner reasonably believed not to be adverse to the interests
of
the Certificateholders;
(vi) no
Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer date
was 30 or
more days delinquent;
(vii) following
the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans on such Supplemental
Transfer
Date to the Trust Fund, the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans will
comply
with the Pool Characteristics (including the permitted variances listed
therein); provided, that for the purpose of making these calculations,
the
characteristics for any Initial Mortgage Loan made will be taken as of
the
Initial Cut-off Date and the characteristics for any Supplemental Mortgage
Loan
will be taken as of the related Supplemental Cut-off Date;
52
(ix) none
of the Sellers or the Depositor shall be insolvent or shall be rendered
insolvent as a result of such transfer; and
(x) the
Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
confirming the satisfaction of each of these conditions precedent.
The
Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify compliance
with
these conditions, except for its own receipt of documents specified above,
and
shall be entitled to rely on the required Officer’s Certificate.
(f) Within
seven Business Days after each Supplemental Transfer Date, upon (1) delivery
to
the Trustee by the Depositor or Countrywide of the Opinions of Counsel
referred
to in Sections 2.01(e)(ii) and (iii), (2) delivery to the Trustee by Countrywide
of a revised Mortgage Loan Schedule reflecting the Supplemental Mortgage
Loans
conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer Date and (3) delivery to the Trustee
by
the Depositor of an Officer’s Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of
the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.01(f), the Trustee
shall
pay to each Seller the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount used to purchase
Supplemental Mortgage Loans from such Seller from those funds that were
set
aside in the Pre-Funding Account pursuant to Section 2.01(e). The
positive difference, if any, between the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer
Amount
and the Aggregate Supplemental Purchase Amount shall be reinvested by the
Trustee in the Pre-Funding Account.
(g) The
Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify compliance
with
the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, except for its own
receipt
of documents specified above, and shall be entitled to rely on the required
Officer’s Certificate.
Within
thirty days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee a letter of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants stating whether or not the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer Date conform to the characteristics
in
Section 2.01(e)(vi), (vii) and (viii).
(h) Neither
the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any Mortgage Loan that
would
violate the representations made by Countrywide set forth in clauses (50)
or
(51) of Schedule III-A hereto.

SECTION
2.02.
|
Acceptance
by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and declares that
it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in
the State
of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification in the form
annexed to this Agreement as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular
on
their face and relate to such Initial Mortgage Loans. The Trustee
shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that
the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are
other
than what they purport to be on their face.
53
On
or
about the thirtieth (30th) day
after the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco
and Park Sienna) a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Initial
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Not
later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification with respect
to the
Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting
a part of
a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the
Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer
all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer
to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates. Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall promptly correct or cure such
defect
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if
Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such period, Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park
Sienna)
shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute
Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date Countrywide
(on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
was
notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan;
provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or
purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if
the
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision
is
required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer
or
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded
document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days
from
the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each
Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage
Loan (a) that has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or
(b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase
pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form
of
Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The
Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide
(on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
in
the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit
Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and,
upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form
of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at Countrywide’s (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each
case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its
own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or
its
designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases an Initial
Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i)
cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee and
shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in
accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS® System Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of
such
Mortgage Loan.
54
(b) Upon
delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Supplemental
Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the documents identified
in
any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2
and
declare that it will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such other assets
as are
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit
of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that
it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California,
unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental Transfer Date
to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Supplemental Certification
in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Supplemental
Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents appear
regular
on their face and relate to such Supplemental Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that
the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are
other
than what they purport to be on their face.
On
or
about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer Date, the
Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on
its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Delay
Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
55
Not
later
than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own
behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final
Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
(c) If,
in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage
File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee
shall
list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however
that the
Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement
is
sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing,
as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii)
any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment
of
and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates. Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall promptly correct or cure such
defect
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if
Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such period, Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park
Sienna)
shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute
Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject
to the
conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan
from
the Trustee within 90 days from the date Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) was notified of such
defect
in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however,
that
in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days
from
the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery
of any
documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between
either the Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location
or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur
within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver
written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date
indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status
of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase
pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee
of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and
any
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form
of
Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide (on its own
behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) in the Certificate
Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form
of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at Countrywide’s (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each
case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its
own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or
a
designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases a Supplemental
Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i)
cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall cause such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with
MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.
56
(d) The
Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee,
upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents
or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession
of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(e) It
is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each Seller
to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by
it
which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor
and any Certificateholder against that Seller.

and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.
(c) Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation
or
warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
or a breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a Supplemental
Mortgage Loan under Section 2.01(e)(i) that materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties and the
NIM
Insurer. Each Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party
of a
breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan
sold by
it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and with respect to a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan
sold to
it under Section 2.01(e)(i) that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach
in
all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if
such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject
to
the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price
in the
manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any,
and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior
to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially
in
the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute
Mortgage Loan. The Seller repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With
respect to the representations and warranties described in this
Section which are made to the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by either the Depositor, a Seller or the Trustee that the substance
of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially
and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests
of
the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding that Seller’s lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty.
58
With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans sold to the Depositor
by a
Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment
of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as
required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be
made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such
month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund
and will
be retained by the related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution
Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted
Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter that Seller shall be entitled to retain
all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master
Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan
and the
substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer
shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to the
terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the related Seller shall be
deemed
to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as
of the
date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant
to
Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any
such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount
required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as
described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage
File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted
Mortgage Loan to the related Seller and shall execute and deliver at such
Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
title
in that Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage
Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For
any
month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine
the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Substitute
Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all
Deleted
Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after application of the scheduled
principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited
in the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or
replaced hereunder.
In
the
event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase
Price
therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which that Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan
and upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the
Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person
to
cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred
and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons
respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or
the
Trustee on their behalf.
59
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit
of the Certificateholders.

SECTION
2.04.
|
Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan as of the date of this Agreement or such other date set forth
in
this Agreement that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer
of the
Mortgage Loans to it by each Seller, the Depositor had good title to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses
or
counterclaims.
The
Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of its
rights
with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a), together with all rights of the Depositor to require a
Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any
affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in this
Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this
Section
2.04 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency
and the NIM Insurer.

2.05.
|
Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to
Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the
Closing Date unless Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution
will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited
transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as
defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or
(ii) cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
60
(b) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee
that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery)
give
written notice thereof to the other parties and the NIM Insurer. In
connection therewith, the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own
behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) at its option,
to
either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with
respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage
Loan
for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to Countrywide the
Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant to this Section in the same manner,
and on
the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for
breach of a representation or warranty contained in
Section 2.03.

ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
|
SECTION
3.01.
|
Master
Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service
and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan
servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, subject to the terms of this
Agreement (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders
and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and
documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and
assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the
manner
provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
other Liquidation Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section 3.01
includes
any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage
Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that
is
inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of
the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the
interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests
in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation
regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver
or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created under
this
Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of
any tax
under section 860F(a) or section 860G(d) of the
Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee,
is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when
the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to
execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall
prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents
requiring
execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate
to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
to
the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver
such
documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents
and
deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders
and
the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the
Master
Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate
in its
best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the
removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
or any
of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments
with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name
of
MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and
assigns.
62
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose
of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master
Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments
on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for
the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders,
be added
to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
|
SECTION
3.02.
|
Subservicing;
Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by
a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the
related
subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage
Loans in
a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated under
this
Agreement; provided, however, that the NIM Insurer shall have consented
to such
subservicing agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing
the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer
on
behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer
or
reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of
such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer
alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All
actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing
agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the
same
force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
received
any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans
that
are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted
by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
|
SECTION
3.03.
|
Rights
of the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee in Respect
of the Master
Servicer.
|
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Master
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in connection with any such defaulted obligation
to
exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement;
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. None of the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the
Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure
to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.

Trustee
to Act as Master Servicer.

In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
Servicer under this Agreement (including by reason of an Event of Default
or
termination by the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall then
assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for
losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer under this Agreement),
(ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of Mortgage Loans under this Agreement including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02. If the Master
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including
by
reason of any Event of Default or termination by the Depositor), the Trustee
or
its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer
under each subservicing agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of the
Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement
and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the
assuming
party.

Reserve
Fund.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary
and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect
all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans
to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the
terms and
provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, subject to Section 3.20, any Prepayment Charge or penalty
interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the
date on
which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as
of the
Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master
Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the
provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with
the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof
by
reason of such arrangements. In addition, the NIM Insurer’s prior
written consent shall be required for any waiver of Prepayment Charges
or for
the extension of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, if
the
aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans that have been granted such
waivers or extensions exceeds 5% of the aggregate number of Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under
a
Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant
to
which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
64
(b) The
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into
which
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later than
two
Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term credit rating
of
Countrywide is reduced below “A-” by S&P or “A3” by
Xxxxx’x, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, the following payments and collections remitted
by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent
to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts
required
to be deposited under this Agreement:
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal
Prepayments;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related
Master
Servicing Fee, Prepayment Interest Excess and any lender paid mortgage
insurance
premiums;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal
servicing procedures;
(iv) any
amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments for which it is
responsible;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO
Property pursuant to Section 3.11;
(vi) all
Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(viii) all
payments on account of Prepayment Charges on the Mortgage Loans;
and
(ix) any
other amounts required to be deposited under this Agreement.
65
In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds
to be
deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an
amount
of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the
amount of
interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due
Date at
the Mortgage Rate net of the related Master Servicing Fee.
The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption
fees, if
collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event
that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it
may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate
Account to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision
in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or
direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the
Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate Account which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds
deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the
Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution Account
the
following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to Section
3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments for which
it is
responsible; and
(iii) any
other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in
the
Distribution Account.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount
from the
Distribution Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the
Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at
the
direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each
institution at which the Certificate Account, the Pre-Funding Account,
the
Capitalized Interest Account or the Distribution Account is maintained
shall
invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master Servicer
in
Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of
the Certificate Account, the Pre-Funding Account or the Capitalized Interest
Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution
Account
Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation
of the
institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment
shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution
Account
Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the
Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such
Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund
or
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of
prior to
its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the
name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All
income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of
funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account, or the Distribution Account shall be
for the
benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted
to it monthly as provided in this Agreement. The amount of any
realized losses in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account
incurred
in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be
deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account or paid to
the
Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account, as applicable. The
amount of any losses in the Pre-Funding Account or the Capitalized Interest
Account incurred in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited
by the Depositor in the Pre-Funding Account or the Capitalized Interest
Account,
as applicable. All income or gain (net of any losses) realized from
any such investment of funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account
shall be credited to the Capitalized Interest Account. The Trustee in
its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred
in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Certificate Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest
Account
or the Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section
3.05.
66
(f) The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall
give notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and
the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account,
the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the Carryover
Reserve Fund prior to any change thereof.
(g) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the
Pre-Funding Account. On the Closing Date Countrywide shall remit the
Pre-Funded Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account. On each Supplemental Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the
conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(e),
with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee
shall
pay to each Seller selling Supplemental Mortgage Loans to the Depositor
on such
Supplemental Transfer Date the portion of the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer
Amount held in escrow pursuant to Section 2.01(e) as payment of the purchase
price for the Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller. If at
any time the Depositor becomes aware that the Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of
Supplemental Mortgage Loans reflected on any Supplemental Transfer Agreement
exceeds the actual Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the relevant Supplemental
Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may so notify the Trustee and the Trustee
shall
redeposit into the Pre-Funding Account the excess reported to it by the
Depositor.
67
If
any
funds remain in the Pre-Funding Account at the end of the Funding Period,
to the
extent that they represent earnings on the amounts originally deposited
into the
Pre-Funding Account, the Trustee shall distribute them to the order of
the
Depositor. The remaining funds shall be transferred to the
Distribution Account to be included as part of the Principal Remittance
Amount.
(h) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the
Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date, Countrywide shall
remit the Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for deposit in the
Capitalized Interest Account. On each Distribution Account Deposit
Date related to a Funding Period Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer
from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Distribution Account an amount
equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement (which, to the extent required,
may include investment earnings on amounts on deposit therein) for the
related
Distribution Date.
On
each
Supplemental Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions for such
Supplemental Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.l0(e), the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Capitalized Interest Account the Capitalized Interest
Release
Amount for such Supplemental Transfer Date and distribute the amount to
the
order of Countrywide.
If
any
funds remain in the Capitalized Interest Account at the end of the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the last Funding Period Distribution Date, the
Trustee
shall distribute any such remaining funds to the order of Countrywide on
the
last Funding Period Distribution Date.
(i) On
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name,
in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Offered Certificates, the Carryover
Reserve Fund and shall deposit $1,000 therein upon receipt from or on behalf
of
the Depositor of such amount. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without
limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.
Funds
in
the Carryover Reserve Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments at
the
direction of the Majority of the Holders of the Class C-P Certificates,
which
Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such investment
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains the Carryover Reserve Fund, then such Permitted Investment
shall
mature not later than such Distribution Date) and shall not be sold or
disposed
of prior to maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in
the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class C-P
Certificates. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the
Carryover Reserve Fund shall be invested by the Trustee in The Bank of
New York
cash reserves. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be
retained therein until withdrawn as provided in Section 3.08. Any
losses incurred in the Carryover Reserve Fund in respect of any such investments
shall be charged against amounts on deposit in the Carryover Reserve Fund
(or
such investments) immediately as realized. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
or lack
of investment of funds held in the Carryover Reserve Fund and made in accordance
with this Section 3.05. The Carryover Reserve Fund will not
constitute an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Class C-P
Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Carryover Reserve Fund for
federal
tax purposes.

Accounts.
|
(a) To
the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current
law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for
the
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable
items for
the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing in this Agreement shall
require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow
Account
in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals
of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium
or
PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer
out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09
(with
respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined
to
be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account
or to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement
in
accordance with Section 9.01. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a
part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a)
that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium
or
other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer
shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances,
in the
good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the
Master
Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or
otherwise.

SECTION
3.07.

Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Master Servicer shall afford each Seller, the Depositor, the NIM Insurer
and the
Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge,
but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Master Servicer.
Upon
reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide
to each
Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings and loan
association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access
to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to
permit
such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall
be
entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or Certificate
Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in providing
such
reports and access. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish
to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer its most recent publicly available financial
statements and any other information relating to its capacity to perform
its
obligations under this Agreement reasonably requested by the NIM
Insurer.

SECTION
3.09.
|
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance
Policies.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to
the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of
such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee
from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard
insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a
standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied
to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall
not, for
the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders
or
remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal
balance
of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan
so
permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of the proceeds of liquidation
of
the Mortgage Loan or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by
Section 3.08. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained
on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is
located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally
designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in
the
national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood
insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property,
and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) The
Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage
under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for
the
actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the
initial
issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
72
Except
with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
not be
required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% as of
any
date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance
of
such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value or
(ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is prohibited by
applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such
Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage Note
or
prohibited by law.
The
Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on
each
Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall
be
recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related proceeds of liquidation
and
Subsequent Recoveries.
(d) In
connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans,
the
Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary
to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted
Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account.

SECTION
3.10.
|
Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to the extent
that
it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained
in
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable
law and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement
will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance
Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not
required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the
Person
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed
to be
conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the
Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause,
or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer
is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption
and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such 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,
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 the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer,
subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of
the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under
this
Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
73
(b) Subject
to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent
set forth in Section 3.10(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has
been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into
an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from
liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver
or
cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall
direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments
as
are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
may
be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its
underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such
substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to
the
Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements
of this
subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement
has
been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution
or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added
to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part
of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer
for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

3.11.

Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall
follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable
and
as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities
and
meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend
its
own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration
of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will
be
recoverable to it through the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
and
Subsequent Recoveries (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes
of
withdrawals from the Certificate Account). 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
of
such costs and expenses from the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage
Loan
and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged Property,
as
provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master
Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer
is
contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure
is
located within a one-mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure
Plan for
the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the
Master
Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such
risks
and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review
procedures.
74
With
respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name
shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant
to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and
conserve
such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary
in the
locality where such REO 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 Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the
Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred
in
connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is
necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements
of the
REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such
REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than
the
close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer
shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445
and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the
tax
reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt
of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by
Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness
by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns
as
may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee
for filing.
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid
or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage
Loan,
the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as
practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds thereof,
but in
no event later than three years after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of
such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will
not
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are
outstanding, and that the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged
Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel)
after
the expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust
Fund
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used
for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner
or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail
to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to
the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income
earned
from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or
otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless
the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
75
In
the
event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not
a
United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that
no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure
are
required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
The
decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall
be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds
of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a
proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management
and
net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances,
shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage
Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes
in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on
the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan
for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment
of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The
proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income
from an
REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to
reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Certificate
Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were
previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued
and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount
or
any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in
the
month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth,
as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any,
from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by
the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.14.
76
The
Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase
for
its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 151 days
or more
delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
the
Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before the next to the
last
day of the calendar month which such Mortgage Loan became 151 days delinquent
(such month, the “Eligible Repurchase Month”); provided further, that any such
Mortgage Loan which becomes current but thereafter becomes delinquent may
be
purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section in any ensuing
Eligible Repurchase Month. The Master Servicer, in its sole
discretion, shall also have the right to purchase for its own account from
the
Trust Fund at a price equal to the Purchase Price any Eligible EPD Protected
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer’s right to purchase any such
Eligible EPD Protected Mortgage Loan shall expire on the 270th day
following the
date on which the related Mortgage Loan became an Eligible EPD Protected
Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased
under this Section 3.11 shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and
the
Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in the
form of
Exhibit N to this Agreement, shall release or cause to be released to the
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser
of
such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest
in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the
Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all
security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an
assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security
and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
(b) Countrywide
may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the “Modified Mortgage Loan”)
if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing, (ii) the Mortgage
Rate on
the Modified Mortgage Loan is approximately a prevailing market rate for
newly
originated mortgage loans having similar terms and (iii) Countrywide purchases
the Modified Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective
immediately after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business
Day
on which the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee in the Modified
Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to
Countrywide and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including
the
right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification and the
risk of
default thereon, shall pass to Countrywide. The Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect
that
all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to
the
Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee
shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the Modified
Mortgage
Loan.
Countrywide
shall remit to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deposit
the
Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 within one Business Day after the purchase of
the
Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of
any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release
to
Countrywide the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall
be necessary to vest in Countrywide any Modified Mortgage Loan previously
transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. Countrywide covenants and agrees
to
indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any “prohibited transaction”
taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed on the
Trust
Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a Mortgage
Loan
effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage
Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by
Countrywide (but such obligation shall not prevent Countrywide or any other
appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent Countrywide from withholding payment
of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). Countrywide
shall have no right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the
foregoing indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any
tax,
interest, and penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to
the
Trust Fund or Countrywide.

Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer
of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee
by
delivering, or causing to be delivered a “Request for Release” substantially in
the form of Exhibit N of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such
request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to
the
Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer’s direction
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance,
deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing
the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master Servicer,
together
with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation on the Mortgage
Note. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the
registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and
all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related
Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose,
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors
or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of
any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the
Trustee
of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to
the further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause
the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when
the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan
is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate
Account,
in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request
for
Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing
Officer.
If
the
Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding
in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the
Master
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature,
as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought
to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or
to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or
in equity.

Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transmit
to
the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments
in
respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer
from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
received
by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer
as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in
respect
of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage
Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or
from
Liquidation Proceeds and any Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited
to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall be held by the
Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole
and
exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions
of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any
funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the
benefit
of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action
or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any
funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
under
this Agreement.

|
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled
to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the
Master
Servicing Fee; provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect
to
any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to the aggregate
of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to such Distribution
Date, but not by more than the Compensating Interest for that Distribution
Date,
and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to
any
amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant
to Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds, Prepayment Interest
Excess, assumption fees, late payment charges and all income and gain net
of any
losses realized from Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Master
Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account
pursuant to Section 3.05. The Master Servicer shall be required
to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its master servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance
and
any Primary Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance
coverage required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall
be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written
request
and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the
Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer
to
provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation
shall
not constitute a breach of this Section.

regarding interest rate and/or monthly payment adjustments. The
Master Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of

a
Mortgage Rate or a monthly payment pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage

The
Swap Contracts.
|
Countrywide
shall cause The Bank of New York to enter into the Swap Contract Administration
Agreement and shall assign all of its right, title and interest in and
to the
interest rate swap transactions evidenced by the Swap Contracts to, and
shall
cause all of its obligations in respect of each such transaction to be
assumed
by, the Swap Contract Administrator, on the terms and conditions set forth
in
the Swap Contract Assignment Agreement. The Trustee’s rights to
receive certain proceeds of the Swap Contracts as provided in the Swap
Contract
Administration Agreement shall be rights of the Trustee as Swap Trustee
hereunder, shall be an asset of the Swap Trust and shall not be an asset
of the
Trust Fund or of any REMIC. The Swap Trustee shall deposit any
amounts received from time to time from the Swap Contract Administrator
with
respect to each Swap Contract into the related Swap Account. The
Master Servicer shall deposit any amounts received on behalf of the Swap
Trustee
from time to time with respect to each Swap Contract into the related Swap
Account.
Upon
the
Swap Contract Administrator obtaining actual knowledge of the rating of
the Swap
Counterparty falling below the Approved Ratings Threshold (as defined in
the
ISDA Master Agreement) or upon the Swap Contract Administrator obtaining
actual
knowledge of the rating of the Swap Counterparty falling below the Required
Ratings Threshold (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement), the Swap Trustee
shall direct the Swap Contract Administrator to (i) demand payment of the
Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) from the Swap
Counterparty on each Valuation Date (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement)
and to perform its other obligations in accordance with the ISDA Master
Agreement and (ii) take such other action required under the ISDA Master
Agreement. If a Delivery Amount is demanded, the Swap Contract
Administrator, in accordance with the Swap Contract Administration Agreement,
shall establish an account to hold cash and other eligible investments
pledged
under the ISDA Master Agreement. Any cash or other Eligible
Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) pledged under the
ISDA
Master Agreement shall not be part of the Distribution Account or any Swap
Account unless remitted to such accounts by the Swap Contract Administrator
in
accordance with the Swap Contract Administration Agreement. If
Eligible Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) with a value
equal
to the Delivery Amount is not delivered to the Swap Contract Administrator
by
the Swap Counterparty, the Swap Trustee shall direct the Swap Contract
Administrator to notify the Swap Counterparty of such failure.
81
Upon
the
Swap Trustee obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default (as defined
in
the ISDA Master Agreement) or Termination Event (as defined in the ISDA
Master
Agreement) for which the Swap Contract Administrator has the right to designate
an Early Termination Date (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement), the
Swap
Trustee shall act at the written direction of the Depositor as to whether
to
direct the Swap Contract Administrator to designate an Early Termination
Date;
provided, however, that the Swap Trustee shall provide written notice to
each
Rating Agency following the Event of Default or Termination
Event. Upon the termination of a Swap Contract under the
circumstances contemplated by this Section 3.19, the Swap Trustee shall
use its
reasonable best efforts to enforce the rights of the Swap Contract Administrator
as may be permitted by the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement and consistent
with the terms hereof.
Any
Swap
Termination Payment received from the Swap Counterparty shall be used to
pay any
upfront amount required under any replacement swap contract and any excess
shall
be distributed to Countrywide and will not be available to make distributions
in
respect of any Class of Certificates. In the event that a replacement
swap contract cannot be procured, any Swap Termination Payment received
from the
Swap Counterparty in respect of the termination of the original Swap Contract
shall, in accordance with the Swap Contract Administration Agreement, be
held in
the Swap Administration Account and distributed to the Swap Trustee on
future
Distribution Date for deposit into the related Swap Account to the extent
necessary to make distributions on the related Class of Swap
Certificates.
In
the
event that a replacement swap is procured and the replacement counterparty
pays
an upfront amount to the Swap Contract Administrator in connection with
the
execution of the replacement swap contract, the Swap Contract Administrator,
in
accordance with the Swap Contract Administration Agreement, shall remit
to the
Swap Trustee such upfront amount to be included in Interest Funds and the
Principal Distribution Amount for the following Distribution Date to the
extent
that a Swap Termination Payment is payable to the Swap Counterparty in
connection with the termination of the original Swap Contract (or was previously
paid to the Swap Counterparty and Interest Funds and the Principal Distribution
Amount for one or more preceding Distribution Dates were used to cover
such Swap
Termination Payment). Any upfront amount paid by a replacement
counterparty that is not remitted by the Swap Contract Administrator to
the Swap
Trustee to cover any Swap Termination Payment payable or previously paid
to the
Swap Counterparty in respect of the original Swap Contract for the following
Distribution Date shall be distributed to Countrywide and will not be available
to make distributions in respect of any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee shall provide the Swap Contract Administrator with all information
necessary to make payments to the Swap Trustee pursuant to this
paragraph.

Prepayment
Charges.

(a) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal
Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may
not
waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of
the
related Mortgage Note unless (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or the
Master
Servicer believes that such a default is imminent, and the Master Servicer
determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds
for
such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge,
or
(ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights
generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or
other
involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or

shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit T no later than the third Business Day following the immediately
succeeding Determination Date with a copy to the Class C-P
Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer has waived or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal
Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Master
Servicer, other than as provided above, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the
Trustee, together with the Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the
amount
of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived)
for
deposit into the Certificate Account (not later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific
time on
the immediately succeeding Master Servicer Advance Date, in the case of
such
Prepayment Charge) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
of a
breach of the foregoing subsection (a), the party discovering the breach
shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties.
(c) Countrywide
represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing
Date, that the information in the Prepayment Charge Schedule (including
the
attached prepayment charge summary) is complete and accurate in all material
respects at the dates as of which the information is furnished and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its
terms
under applicable state law, except as the enforceability thereof is limited
due
to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
payment.
(d) Upon
discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
of a
breach of the foregoing clause (c) that materially and adversely affects
the
right of the Holders of the Class C-P Certificates to any Prepayment
Charge, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice
to the
other parties. Within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master
Servicer
or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of breach, the Master Servicer
shall
cure the breach in all material respects or shall pay into the Certificate
Account the amount of the Prepayment Charge that would otherwise be due
from the
Mortgagor, less any amount representing such Prepayment Charge previously
collected and paid by the Master Servicer into the Certificate
Account.

DISTRIBUTIONS
AND
ADVANCES
BY THE MASTER SERVICER

SECTION
4.01.
|
Advances.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master Servicer Advance
Date
whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to the definition
thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to make an
Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date, either
(i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance or
(ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master
Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in
the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds
made
pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The
obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue
if
such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the
related
Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated.
(b) If
the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to comply with its
obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the second sentence
of
Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give written notice thereof
to
the Trustee (each such notice a “Trustee Advance Notice”; and such notice may be
given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business
Day
immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Advance Date, specifying
the
amount that it will be unable to deposit (each such amount an “Advance
Deficiency”) and certifying that such Advance Deficiency constitutes an Advance
hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Trustee
receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:30 P.M., New York time
on a
Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee shall, not later than 3:00 P.M.,
New
York time, on the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Distribution
Account
an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency identified in such Trustee Advance
Notice unless it is prohibited from so doing by applicable
law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required
to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written notification
from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited or caused
to be
deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Advance
Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustee Advance
Rate from and including the date such Advances are made to but excluding
the
date of repayment, with such interest being an obligation of the Master
Servicer
and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later than the fifth
day
following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the event that
the Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have the right,
but
not the obligation, to immediately (a) terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.04,
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder.
84
(c) The
Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on the second
Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, deliver to the
Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee)
that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Master
Servicer
has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be advanced and
(ii)
the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Master Servicer Advance Date
an
Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any
proposed Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

of Interest Funds. On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds for
such Distribution Date shall be allocated by the Trustee from the Distribution
Account in the following order:
(1) prior

the amount of the Swap Fee payable to the Swap Counterparty under the related
Swap Contract with respect to such Distribution Date, pro rata, based on

respectively;
87
(3) sequentially,
to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6,

up
to the Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for such Class;
(4) to
the Carryover Reserve Fund and then from the Carryover Reserve Fund,
concurrently, to each Class of MTA Certificates and each Swap Account,
as
applicable, and each Class of Subordinated Certificates, pro rata based
on their
respective Class Certificate Balances (or, in the case of the Swap Accounts,
the
Class Certificate Balance of the related Class of Swap Certificates) to
the
extent needed to pay any unpaid Net Rate Carryover for each such Class
and any
unpaid Swap Shortfall Amount for the related Swap Contract; and then any
Excess
Cashflow remaining will be distributed to each Class of MTA Certificates
and
each Swap Account, as applicable, and each Class of Subordinated Certificates
with respect to which there remains any unpaid Net Rate Carryover and any
unpaid
Swap Shortfall Amount, pro rata, based on the amount of such remaining
unpaid
Net Rate Carryover and remaining unpaid Swap Shortfall Amount; provided,
however, that prior to the termination of a Swap Contract, the related
Class of
Swap Certificates shall be not entitled to any distribution according to
this
priority and, provided, further, that if a Swap Termination Payment (other
than
a Swap Termination Payment due to a Swap Counterparty Trigger Event) is
due to
the Swap Counterparty, then any amounts of unpaid Net Rate Carryover that
would
be distributed to the related Class of MTA Certificates will instead be
distributed, up to the amount of such Swap Termination Payment, to the
related
Swap Account;
(5) concurrently,
to each Swap Account, pro rata based on their respective entitlements,
up to the
amount of any related unpaid Swap Termination Payment due to the Swap

each Distribution Date with respect to each of the Swap Contracts on or
prior to
the related Swap Contract Termination Date, following all deposits to the
Swap
Accounts and the distributions described under Sections 4.02(a) - (c),
the Swap

of (i)
the sum of (a) LIBOR and (b) the LIBOR Margin for such Class for such
Distribution Date, (ii) the Class Certificate Balance of such Class immediately
prior to such Distribution Date and (iii) the actual number of days in
the
related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360; and
(4) to
the Swap Contract Administrator for payment to the Swap Counterparty, only
to
the extent necessary to cover any Swap Termination Payment due to a Swap
Counterparty Trigger Event payable to the Swap Counterparty under the related
Swap Contract with respect to such Distribution Date.
(e) To
the extent that a Class of Offered Certificates receives interest in excess
of
the related Net Rate Cap, such interest shall be deemed to have been paid
to the
Carryover Reserve Fund and then paid by the Carryover Reserve Fund to those
Certificateholders. For purposes of the Code, amounts deemed
deposited in the Carryover Reserve Fund shall be deemed to have first been
distributed to the Class C-P Certificates.
(f) On
each Distribution Date, the Prepayment Charge Amount shall be distributed
to the
Class C-P Certificates.
(g) Application
of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. On each Distribution Date, the

sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-7, Class M-6, Class
M-5,
Class M-4, Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that order,
until
their respective Class Certificate Balances are reduced to zero; (2)
concurrently, to the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3 Swap Principal
Amount, if any, pro rata, based on Class Certificate Balance or Swap Principal
Amount, as applicable, until that Class Certificate Balance or Swap Principal
Amount, as applicable, is reduced to zero; (3) concurrently, to the Class
A-2-A
and Class A-2-B Certificates and the Class A-2-A Swap Principal Amount,
if any,
pro rata, based on Class Certificate Balances or Swap Principal Amount,
as
applicable, until each Class Certificate Balance or Swap Principal Amount,
as
applicable, is reduced to zero; and (4) concurrently, to the Class A-1-A
and
Class A-1-B Certificates and the Class A-1-A Swap Principal Amount, if
any, and
Class A-1-B Swap Principal Amount, if any, pro rata, based on Class Certificate
Balances or Swap Principal Amounts, as applicable, until each Class Certificate
Balance or each such Swap Principal Amount, as applicable, is reduced to
zero.
(h) Application
of Subsequent Recoveries. If Subsequent Recoveries have been received
with respect to a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Subsequent
Recoveries will be applied to increase the applicable Class Certificate
Balances
(or in the case of a Swap Principal Amount, to increase that Swap Principal
Amount) in the following order of priority: (1) concurrently, to the Class
A-1-A
and Class A-1-B Certificates and the Class A-1-A Swap Principal Amount,

an
amount up to their respective Unpaid Realized Loss Amounts.
89
Holders
of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of
Current
Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period
preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any
such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate Balance of
each
Certificate of such Class.
The
Swap
Counterparty will not be entitled to any payment in respect of interest
on the
related Swap Principal Amount at the related Swap Rate on the amount of
such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on
which such increase occurs.

Allocation
of Net Deferred Interest.
|
(a) For
any Distribution Date, Net Deferred Interest will be allocated among the
Classes
of interest-bearing Certificates in an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of
(i) the amount of interest that accrued on such Class of Certificates at
its
respective Pass-Through Rate during the Interest Accrual Period related
to that
Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of interest that accrued on such
Class of
Certificates at its respective Adjusted Cap Rate during the Interest Accrual
Period related to that Distribution Date.
(b) Any
Net Deferred Interest allocated to a Class of Certificates will be added
to the
Class Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates; provided, however,
that
for so long as the related Swap Contract is in effect, any Net Deferred
Interest
allocated to a Class of Swap Certificates will not increase the Class
Certificate Balance of that Class of Swap Certificates but will instead
increase
the related Swap Principal Amount.

Monthly
Statements to Certificateholders.

(a) Concurrently
with each distribution on a Distribution Date, the Trustee will forward
by mail
to each Rating Agency and make available to Certificateholders on the Trustee’s
website (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) a statement generally setting
forth the information contained in Exhibit U.
(b) The
Trustee’s responsibility for disbursing the above information to the
Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of
the information provided by the Master Servicer.
(c) On
or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each Prepayment Period
(but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (which
delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in substantially
the
form set forth as Schedule VI hereto.
90
(d) Within
a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set
forth
in items (1), (2) and (7) of Exhibit U aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to
have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code

Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for COFI
Certificates.
|
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest
Accrual
Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by
the
Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable
formulae
appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table
relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
Except
as
provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following
the
initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business
Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication
of the
applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall
accrue
in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual
Period.
Except
as
provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through
Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period
shall
be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date
for
such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for
any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding
such
Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI
for
the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If
COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside
Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference
Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent
Interest
Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third
calendar
month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar
month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar
month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the
event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth
calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published
on or
before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual
Period
and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR,
determined in the manner set forth below.
With
respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is
LIBOR,
LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee
on the
related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08.
91
In
determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or
any
Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the
Reuters
Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR
or the
Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City banks for purposes
of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following
a
good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference
Banks
or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as
provided
for in this Section 4.07.
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
|
SECTION
4.08.
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
|
(a) On
each Interest Determination Date, so long as any LIBOR Certificates or
Swap
Certificates are Outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis
of
the British Bankers’ Association (“BBA”) “Interest Settlement Rate” for
one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as quoted on the “BBAM” page of the Bloomberg
Terminal.
(b) If
on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as provided
in
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i) request
each
Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal
London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading
banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such
Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request,
rely on
such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters
Screen
LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc.
Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition),
to the
extent available. LIBOR for a Class of LIBOR Certificates for the
next Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on each
Interest
Determination Date as follows:
(i) If
on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide
such
offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period
shall
be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic
mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If
on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks
provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period
shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous
Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The
“Reserve Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines
to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar
lending
rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on
the
relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal London offices of
at
least two of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion
of
the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine
no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending
rate
which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks.
92
(iii) If
on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required but is unable
to
determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph
(b)
above, LIBOR for the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as
determined on the preceding applicable Interest Determination
Date. If on the initial Interest Determination Date the Trustee is
required but unable to determine LIBOR in the manner provided above, LIBOR
for
the next Interest Accrual Period will be the Initial LIBOR Rate.
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates and the Swap Certificates are paid in full, the
Trustee will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the
purpose
of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination
Date. The Master Servicer initially shall designate the Reference
Banks. For purposes of this Section 4.08, each “Reference Bank” shall
be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by,
or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place
of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or
unable to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment
as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank
for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least
four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest
Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination
Date so
long as the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of LIBOR Certificates
is
greater than zero, on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing
in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating
to
the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In
determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
(whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the
Interest
Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect
from
time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City
banks
or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.08.
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate, the Swap Counterparty and the
Trustee.

SECTION
4.09.
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for MTA
Certificates.
|
93
(a) On
each Interest Determination Date, so long as the MTA Certificates are
outstanding, the Trustee shall determine MTA by referencing the “12MTA INDEX HP”
page of the Bloomberg Terminal.
(b) If
on any Interest Determination Date, MTA cannot be determined as provided
in
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.09, the Trustee will shall request each
Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation of MTA. If four
or more Reference Banks provide such quotations, MTA will be the arithmetic
mean
of such quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary
to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%), without regard to the highest and lowest
of
such quotations. If exactly three Reference Banks provide such
quotations, MTA will be the rate remaining after disregarding the highest
and
lowest of such quotations. If fewer than three quotations are
provided by Reference Banks, MTA for the related Classes of Certificates
shall
be deemed as no longer being available.
If
on any
Interest Determination Date MTA is no longer available, the Trustee shall
select
a new index for the MTA Certificates that is based on comparable
information. When the Trustee selects a new index for the MTA
Certificates, the Pass-Through Margin for each Class of MTA Certificates
(both
for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate on the MTA Certificates
and
“Floating Amount II” (as defined in the related Swap Contract) for each Swap
Contract) will increase or decrease by the difference between the average
MTA
for the final three years it was in effect and the average of the most
recent
three years for the replacement index. The Pass-Through Margin for
each Class of MTA Certificates will be increased by that difference if
the
average MTA is greater than the average replacement index, and the Pass-Through
Margin for each Class of MTA Certificates will be decreased by that difference
if the replacement index is greater than the average MTA.
Until
all
of the MTA Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times
retain
at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining MTA with respect
to
each Interest Determination Date. The Master Servicer initially shall
designate the Reference Banks. For purposes of this Section 4.09,
each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in dealing in United
States Treasury Department securities, shall not control, be controlled
by, or
be under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established
place of
business in New York. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling
or unable to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause
to be
appointed another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability
or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference
Bank for
purposes of determining MTA or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of MTA Certificates for each Interest
Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination
Date so
long as the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of MTA Certificates is
greater
than zero, on the basis of MTA and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the MTA Certificates in the table relating to
the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In
determining MTA or any Pass-Through Rate for the MTA Certificates, the
Trustee
may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the quotations
(whether written or oral) from the Reference Banks as to MTA. The
Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for
the
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from the Reference Banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided
for in this Section 4.09.
94
The
determination of MTA and the Pass-Through Rates for the MTA Certificates
by the
Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and
binding upon each Holder of a MTA Certificate, the Swap Counterparty and
the
Trustee.

The
Swap Trust and Swap Accounts.
|
On
the
Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Swap Trust”),
the assets of which shall consist of the Trustee’s rights and obligations under
the Swap Contract Administration Agreement. The Swap Trust shall be
maintained by the Swap Trustee, who initially shall be the
Trustee. The Swap Trustee shall hold the assets of the Swap Trust in
trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Classes of Swap Certificates
and the
Swap Counterparty. No later than the Closing Date, the Swap Trustee
shall establish and maintain four separate, segregated trust accounts to
be held
in the Swap Trust, titled:
(i) “Class
A-1-A Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Swap Trustee, in trust for
the Swap
Counterparty and the registered holders the Class A-1-A Certificates of
CWALT,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OA7”;
(ii) “Class
A-1-B Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Swap Trustee, in trust for
the Swap
Counterparty and the registered holders the Class A-1-B Certificates of
CWALT,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OA7”;
(iii) “Class
A-2-A Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Swap Trustee, in trust for
the Swap
Counterparty and the registered holders the Class A-2-A Certificates of
CWALT,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OA7”; and
(iv) “Class
A-3 Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Swap Trustee, in trust for the
Swap
Counterparty and the registered holders the Class A-3 Certificates of CWALT,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OA7.”
Each
account shall be an Eligible Account and funds on deposit therein shall
be held
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys,
including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant
to this
Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held uninvested. Funds on deposit
in a Swap Account shall be distributed in the amounts and in the order
of
priority described under Section 4.02(d). For federal income tax
purposes, the Swap Trust, including the Swap Accounts, shall be owned by
the
Swap Counterparty.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the deposits to the Swap Accounts
required by Section 4.02.

Subject
to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at
a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related
Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount
Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of
Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal
Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first
class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf
of the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be
so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates
or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature,
and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign
the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any
affiliate of the Depositor.
96
The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous
basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
|
SECTION
5.02.
|
Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in
which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide
for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as provided in this Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in
the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to
be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied
by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed
by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with
the
Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b) No
transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is
made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities
Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such
laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set
forth
in Exhibit J-2 (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter
in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or
Exhibit L-1 (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be
delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel
that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities
Act;
provided, however, that in the case of the delivery of an Investment Letter
in
connection with the transfer of any Class C-P Certificate to a transferee
that
is formed with the purpose of issuing notes backed by such Class C-P
Certificate, as the case may be, clause (b) and (c) of the form of Investment
Letter shall not be applicable and shall be deleted by such
transferee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and
such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to
the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers, the NIM
Insurer
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.
97
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee
(in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement
is
satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L-1, or in
the
event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that (x) such transferee
is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of
ERISA
or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of
any such
plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (y) in the case of a Certificate
that is an ERISA-Restricted Certificate and that has been the subject of
an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an
insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate with funds contained
in
an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that
the purchase and holding of such Certificate satisfy the requirements for
exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) in the
case of
any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name
of an
employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement
subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a trustee or any other person acting on behalf of any such
plan
or arrangement, or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed
to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase and holding
of
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not
subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition
to
those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability (such
Opinion
of Counsel, a “Benefit Plan Opinion”). For purposes of the preceding
sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a
Residual
Certificate, in the event the representation letter or Benefit Plan Opinion
referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, one of the
representations in clause (i), as appropriate, shall be deemed to have
been made
to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance
of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else
to the contrary in this Agreement, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan or arrangement
subject
to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the Trustee
of a
Benefit Plan Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described
above
shall be void and of no effect.
98
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by
this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by
the
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
Until
the
Swap Trust is terminated, no transfer of a Covered Certificate (other than
a
transfer of a Covered Certificate to an affiliate of the Depositor (either
directly or through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance
of the
Certificates) shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a
representation letter from the transferee of such Covered Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 to the effect that (i) such transferee
is not a Plan, or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Covered Certificate
satisfies the requirements for exemptive relief under XXXX 00-00, XXXX
00-0,
XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 96-23, the service provider exemption provided
under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or
a
similar exemption. In the event that such representation letter is
not delivered, one of the foregoing representations, as appropriate, shall
be
deemed to have been made by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s)
acceptance of the Covered Certificate. In the event that such
representation is violated, such transfer or acquisition shall be void
and of no
effect.
(c) 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 the rights of
each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) Except
in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax Matters Person Certificate
in
the name of the Trustee or (ii) any registration in the name of, or transfer
of
a Residual Certificate to, an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly
or
through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates,
no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the
Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the
Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an
affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee in the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit I.
99
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to
whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee and to provide
to the
Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
J-1
stating that it has no knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under
no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after
receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either
the
Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter, if required. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder
of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after
either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be
paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee
of
such Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of
written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax
imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Master
Servicer or any Seller, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions
will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time
that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any
tax on
the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion
of
Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure
that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that
is not
a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not
a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
100
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain
registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository
shall
be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses
from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates
for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and
requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed
to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect
to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the
Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the
Trustee
and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that
the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer
in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event
and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the
“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer
of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates
all references in this Agreement to obligations imposed upon or to be performed
by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the
Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates
and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates
as
Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue
of
its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act
or
failure to act of the Depository.

Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of

SECTION
7.01.

Events
of Default.
|
“Event
of Default,” wherever used in this Agreement, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any
failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or
remit to
the Trustee any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement,
which failure shall continue unremedied for five days after the date upon
which
written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by
the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer,
the NIM
Insurer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less
than 25%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any
failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer
contained in this Agreement (except with respect to a failure related to
a
Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation), which failure materially affects
the
rights of Certificateholders, that failure continues unremedied for a period
of
60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have
been
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Depositor,
or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates; provided, however, that the sixty day cure period shall
not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu of delivery;
or
(iii) a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any 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 consecutive
days; or
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or all or
substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; 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, or commence a
voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute,
make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment
of its obligations; or
105
(vi) the
Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the Trustee within five
days of
the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued and unpaid interest.
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section shall
occur,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default
shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or, if an Event of Default described
in
clauses (i) to (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every
such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, at
the
direction of either the NIM Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights, evidenced by the Certificates,
the
Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy
to each
Rating Agency and the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations
of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. In addition, if during the period that the Depositor is
required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the
Master
Servicer shall fail to observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute
a Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth
in
Section 3.16(a) or Section 11.07(a)(1) and (2), and such failure continues
for
the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange
Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions),
so
long as such failure shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, but
only
at the direction of the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. The Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer if a failure of the Master
Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely
to the
role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans
other
than the Mortgage Loans.
On
and
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the
Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The
Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed
to
make subject to Section 4.01 whether or not the obligations of the Master
Servicer have been terminated pursuant to this Section. The Trustee
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the
Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such
written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the
Master
Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. 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 of all cash amounts which shall
at the
time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the
Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a
Scheduled
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating
such
Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer
would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),
and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement
to which arose prior to the termination of its activities under this
Agreement.
If
the
Master Servicer is terminated, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor
in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with
its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of
the
Master Servicer as set forth herein.

Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant
to
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in
Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as
master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided
for in this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms
and
provisions of this Agreement and applicable law including the obligation
to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that
the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account
or
Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become
the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is
otherwise unable to so act, (i) appoint any established mortgage loan servicing
institution reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer (as evidenced by the
prior
written consent of the NIM Insurer), or (ii) if it is unable for 60 days
to
appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer,
petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established mortgage loan
servicing institution, the appointment of which does not adversely affect
the
then-current rating of the Certificates and the NIM Insurer guaranteed
notes
(without giving any effect to any policy or guaranty provided by the NIM
Insurer) by each Rating Agency 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. Any successor to the
Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved
seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000,
and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and (i) executes and
delivers
to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation
and
assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights,
powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer
(other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred
prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided
further
that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates
in
effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be
qualified
or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation and (ii) provides
to
the Depositor in writing, fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date
of such
appointment, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply
with
its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a
replacement master servicer. The Trustee shall provide written notice
to the Depositor of such successor pursuant to this Section. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee,
unless
the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to
Section 3.04, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
the
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Master
Servicing Fee permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure
to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion
thereof
or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or
responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the
Master
Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
107
Any
successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to
the NIM
Insurer and the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during
the term
of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies
that
the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to
Section 3.09.
In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
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 Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the
predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer
either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage
in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to
execute
and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may
be
necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing
of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer or
(y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Master
Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor
Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in
the
appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer shall
cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt
of
the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by
the
public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.

be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.

liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except

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 the Trustee may conclusively rely, as

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 which it believed in good faith to be genuine
and
to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;

or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of

for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and

in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.01 or Section 8.02,
the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the information delivered
to
it by the Master Servicer in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether
it
is required to make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm any information contained in any
Trustee
Advance Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance under
Section
4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice or actual knowledge
of a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that (A) such Advance was not made by

Fees and Expenses.
|
The
Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled
to
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an amount
equal
to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any

covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the
Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement
or

and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would
not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw their respective
then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security
from
time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in
writing
by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of
this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or
association 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. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
and
its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided,
however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master
Servicer
other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master
Servicer.

and Removal of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created
by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified
in such
notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect,
and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no
successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed

days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee shall
provide
(x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section
and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order
to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
to
the resignation of the Trustee.
If
at any
time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request
thereto by the NIM Insurer or the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as 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,
(iii)(A)
a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the
Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and (B) the imposition of such tax
would be
avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, or (iv) during the period
that the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect
to the
Trust Fund, the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations under the

sentence of Section 7.01, in the preceding paragraph, Section 8.09 or Article
XI
and such failure is not remedied within the lesser of 10 calendar days
or such
period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed timely
(without
taking into account any extensions), then, in the case of clauses (i) through
(iii), the Depositor, the NIM Insurer or the Master Servicer, and in the
case of
clause (iv), the Depositor, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee, reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer, by written instrument,
in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee,
one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one copy of which
shall
be delivered to the NIM Insurer and one copy of which shall be delivered
to the
successor trustee.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may

time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor
Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed,
one
complete set to the NIM Insurer and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to
each Rating Agency by the successor trustee.

|
113
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and the
Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations
of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
in
this Agreement. The Depositor, 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.
In
addition, if a Swap Contract is still outstanding, the Person appointed
as
successor trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the predecessor
trustee, Countrywide and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting the
appointment as successor Swap Contract Administrator under the Swap Contract
Administration Agreement and as successor Swap Trustee.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, is reasonably acceptable to
the NIM
Insurer, its appointment shall not adversely affect the then-current ratings
of
the Certificates and has provided to the Depositor in writing and in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably
requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Trustee.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to the NIM Insurer and all Holders of
Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.

Any
corporation 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 business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee
hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything in this Agreement to
the
contrary notwithstanding.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any merger or consolidation, at least
15
calendar days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation

SECTION
8.10.
|
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
114
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the
Master
Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the
Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer to act as co-trustee
or
co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons,
in
such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title
to the
Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, 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. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so,
or in
the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders
of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required
under
Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To
the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance
funds
on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or
acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
to the
Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund
or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of
the Trustee;
(ii) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act
or
omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not,
and
shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee
as
agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee
or co-trustee; and
(iv) The
Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of
reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such
separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject
to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision
of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of,
or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer
and the
Depositor.
115
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent
not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall
die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised
by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.

Tax
Matters.
|
It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to
be made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify
such
assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent
(and the
Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC
and
that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared
and filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities
income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to
any such
REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as
may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules,
and
furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b)
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required
by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that
the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form,
and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by
the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a
REMIC on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared
and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service
and, if
necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for
the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee
or
other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity
in
which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the
reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to
the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under
its
control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under
the
REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or
omit to
take any action that would cause the termination of the tax status of any
REMIC;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the third paragraph of this Section
8.11,
the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction
taxes
as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination
when and
as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent
the
Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or
rules;
(j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited
to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market
value
and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be
required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request
an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter
into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute
of
limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act
on
behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving
it.
116
In
order
to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth in this Agreement,
the
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within
ten (10)
days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests
in
writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations
and
offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the
price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates
and
the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information
or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in
order to
enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth in this
Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any
losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising
from any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of
the
Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information
or data
to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code,
on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant
to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without
limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if
not
paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the
Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the
Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master
Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out
of or
results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any Seller, if any such tax arises
out
of or results from that Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the
event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax
will be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders,
as
provided in Section 3.08(b).
117
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the following items
as
specified. The Trustee shall treat each of the Carryover Reserve Fund
and the Swap Trust (including the Swap Accounts) as an outside
reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), neither
of
which is an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Carryover
Reserve Fund shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C-P
Certificates, and the Swap Trust (including the Swap Accounts) shall be
treated
as owned by the Swap Counterparty. The Trustee shall treat the rights
and deemed obligations of the Holders of the Offered Certificates and the
Class
C-P Certificates with respect the Carryover Reserve Fund as rights and
obligations with respect to a notional principal contract written by the
Holders
of the Class C-P Certificates in respect of any Net Rate Carryover distributed
pursuant to Section 4.02(c)(4) herein. The Trustee shall treat the
rights and deemed obligations of the Holders of a Class of Swap Certificates
with respect to the related Swap Contract as (i) the right to receive LIBOR
plus
the related LIBOR Margin on a notional amount equal to the principal balance
of
the related Master REMIC Interests, advances of unpaid Net Deferred Interest
and
unpaid Net Rate Carryover from the Swap Counterparty and as (ii) the deemed
obligation to (A) pay MTA plus the related margin on a notional amount
equal to
the principal balance of the related Master REMIC Interest, (B) return
the
amounts of any advances to the Swap Counterparty and (C) compensate the
Swap
Counterparty for standing ready to make, and forebear the return of, any
advances. Thus, the Offered Certificates and the Class C-P
Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC
regular
interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning
of
Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). For purposes of determining the issue
price of
each Class of Swap Certificates, the Trustee shall assume that the related
Swap
Contract was acquired without either the Holders of the related Certificates
or
the Swap Counterparty making any lump sum payment to the other. The Trustee
shall treat any amount of Net Rate Carryover payable from Excess Cashflow as
first paid to the Class C-P Certificateholder and as then deposited in
the
Carryover Reserve Fund. In addition, to the extent any amount payable with
respect to a Swap Certificate (as described in the Preliminary Statement)
is
used to make payments to the Swap Counterparty, the Trustee shall treat
the
amount as first payable to the Holders of the related Swap Certificates
and as
then paid by the Holders of the related Certificates with respect to their
deemed obligations to the Swap Counterparty as described above.
|
SECTION
8.12.
|
Monitoring
of Significance Percentage.
|
With
respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall calculate the “significance
percentage” (as defined in Item 1115 of Regulation AB) of each derivative
instrument, if any, based on the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of
the
related Classes of Swap Certificates for such derivative instrument and
Distribution Date (after all distributions to be made thereon on such
Distribution Date) and based on the methodology provided in writing by
or on
behalf of Countrywide no later than the fifth Business Day preceding such
Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
provide to Countrywide a written report (which written report may include
similar information with respect to other derivative instruments relating
to
securitization transactions sponsored by Countrywide) specifying the
“significance percentage” of each derivative instrument, if any, for that
Distribution Date. If the “significance percentage” of any derivative
instrument exceeds 7.0% with respect to any Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall
make a separate notation thereof in the written report described in the
preceding sentence. Such written report may contain such assumptions
and disclaimers as are deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Trustee.

Master
Servicer and the NIM Insurer shall have the option to purchase all the
Mortgage
Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to this

Final
Distribution on the Certificates.
|
(a) Timing
of Notice of Final Distribution, Auction or Optional Termination.
(i) If
on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are
no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund
other
than the funds in the Certificate Account, then the Master Servicer shall
direct
the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder in accordance with Section 9.02(b). In the event
such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the
Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date , net of any amounts permitted to be withdrawn pursuant
to
Section 3.08(a). Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust
Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor,
the
Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files
for the
Mortgage Loans.
(ii) If
the Directing Certificateholder chooses to exercise its right to cause
an
auction pursuant to Section 9.04, then the Directing Certificateholder
shall
provide written notice to the Master Servicer no later than the 1st day
of the
calendar month in which such auction is to be conducted. If a
Successful Auction is held pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.04,
then
the Trustee shall distribute the proceeds of the Successful Auction that
have
been remitted to the Distribution Account to the Certificateholders pursuant
to
Sections 4.02 and 9.04 hereof on the Distribution Date in the calendar
month
immediately following the calendar month in which the Successful Auction
occurs.
(iii) If
the Directing Certificateholder does not exercise its right to cause an
auction
pursuant to Section 9.04 and the Terminator (after prior written notice
to the
Master Servicer if the Terminator is the NIM Insurer) elects to terminate
the
Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, then at least 20 days prior to the
date
notice is to be mailed to Certificateholders in accordance with Section
9.02(b),
the Terminator shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of (a) its election
to
terminate the Trust Fund, (b) the Distribution Date on which it intends
to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 and (c) the applicable
purchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. In the event
such notice is given, the Terminator shall remit to the Master Servicer,
on or
before the Business Day prior to the final Distribution Date, for deposit
into
the Certificate Account, the Termination Price. The Master Servicer
shall cause all funds in the Certificate Account, including the Termination
Price, net of any amounts permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section
3.08(a),
be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on or
before
the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date. Upon such
final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee
of a
Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Master
Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans..
120
(b) Timing
of Notice to Certificateholders of Termination. Notice of any termination
of the
Trust Fund (whether because of a Successful Auction, Optional Termination
or
otherwise), specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders
may
surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than
the
15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (i) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein designated, (ii)
the
amount of such final distribution, (iii) the location of the office or
agency at
which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (iv) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer
will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is
given to
Certificateholders.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause
to be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the
final
Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02 (and with
respect
to the Class C-P Certificates after a Successful Auction, Section 9.04(g)
and
(k)), in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect
to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each
Class of
Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest
thereon (or on its Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest
bearing Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount,
if
any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the
amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i)
above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance
of any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, each Seller, the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) In
the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender their
respective Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the
applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the
Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to 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 a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year
after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for
cancellation, then the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to
all
unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject
to this
Agreement.

Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
(a) In
the event the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
9.01 or there is a Successful Auction pursuant to Section 9.04, the Trust
Fund
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the
expense
of the Terminator (or the Directing Certificateholder, in the case of a
Successful Auction), to the effect that the failure to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition
of taxes
on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the
Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
121
(1) The
Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and notify
the
Trustee thereof, which shall in turn specify the first day of such period
in a
statement attached to the Trust Fund’s final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Master Servicer shall prepare a plan
of complete liquidation and shall otherwise satisfy all the requirements
of a
qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations
thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee
and
the Depositor obtained at the expense of the Terminator (or the Directing
Certificateholder, in the case of a Successful Auction); and
(2) Within
90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation,
the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Terminator
(or the
Winning Bidder in the case of a Successful Auction) for cash in accordance
with
Section 9.01 and, if applicable, Section 9.04.
(b) The
Trustee, as agent for any REMIC created hereunder, hereby agrees to adopt
and
sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the
Master
Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section
9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may
be
reasonably requested by the Terminator or the Directing Certificateholder,
as
applicable.
(c) By
their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize
the
Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of
complete
liquidation.
|
SECTION
9.04.
|
Auction
of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.
|
(a) On
or after the Optional Termination Date, the Holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Class C-P Certificates (the “Directing Certificateholder”), at
its option, may by written instruction direct the Trustee to solicit bids
in a
commercially reasonable manner from Qualified Bidders for the purchase
of the
Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties owned by the Trust Fund. The
Directing Certificateholder shall provide written notice to the Master
Servicer
as provided in Section 9.02(a)(ii). Any such direction by the
Directing Certificateholder shall (i) be made in writing and (ii) include
contact information for the Directing Certificateholder. Upon receipt
of any direction from the Directing Certificateholder meeting the requirements
of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall commence the auction
process described in this Section 9.04. The Trustee may engage a
financial advisor, which financial advisor may be Countrywide or one of
its
affiliates, in order to perform any of the duties of the Trustee specified
in
Section 9.04. To effectuate such sale, the Trustee (or such financial
advisor) shall follow the procedures specified in Section 9.04(b)
below. The Trustee shall facilitate the sale of the assets in the
Trust Fund to the Winning Bidder so long as the Trustee (or any financial
advisor on its behalf) has received at least three bids from Qualified
Bidders
and at least one such bid is at least equal to the Acceptable Bid
Amount. In the event the auction is not a Successful Auction, the
Trustee may repeat this process periodically, at the direction of the Directing
Certificateholder until a Successful Auction is conducted or the Terminator
purchases all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section
9.01. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for its reasonable costs,
including expenses associated with engaging any financial advisor, from
the
Directing Certificateholder if the auction is not a Successful Auction,
and, if
the auction is a Successful Auction, from the proceeds of the auction before
the
proceeds are distributed to Certificateholders.
122
The
Trustee, upon inquiry from the Master Servicer, agrees to provide the Master
Servicer with the Percentage Interest of Class C-P Certificates held by
the
Directing Certificateholder.
If
Countrywide or any of its affiliates is the Directing Certificateholder,
such
Directing Certificateholder shall not have the right to direct the Trustee
to
solicit bids for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties
owned
by the Trust Fund.
(b) The
Trustee (or any financial advisor on its behalf) shall solicit bids for
the
purchase of assets owned by the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.04(a)
not
later than two Business Days following receipt of the Directing
Certificateholder’s written instruction by contacting by telephone or in writing
at least three Qualified Bidders and requesting that each Qualified Bidder
bid
on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties owned by the Trust Fund (on a
non-recourse basis with no representations or warranties of any nature
whatsoever made by the Trustee (or such financial advisor)) and providing
to the
Qualified Bidder any information relating to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties owned by the Trust Fund reasonably requested by such Qualified
Bidder, subject to the Qualified Bidder’s written agreement not to use such
information in the purchase or sale of Certificates (it being understood
no
Qualified Bidder shall be obligated to submit a bid or take any other action
in
connection with any auction). The Master Servicer shall cooperate
with the Trustee (and any financial advisor on its behalf) during the auction
process. At 1:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day after
the date on which bids are last solicited (such second day, the “Bid
Determination Date”), the Trustee (or any financial advisor on its behalf) shall
determine the highest bid based on the bids received by the Trustee (or
any
financial advisor on its behalf) on or before such time.
(c) If
the highest of the bids that are submitted by Qualified Bidders is less
than the
Minimum Auction Amount, then the Trustee shall promptly inform the Directing
Certificateholder of the amount of the shortfall and indicate that the
Directing
Certificateholder must notify the Trustee within 24 hours whether it will
contribute the amount of such difference (such difference being the “Auction
Supplement Amount”) so that the auction will be a Successful
Auction. If the highest of the bids that are submitted by Qualified
Bidders is equal to or greater than the Minimum Auction Amount, or if the
Directing Certificateholder notifies the Trustee within 24 hours of its
receipt
of notice as described in the previous sentence that it will contribute
the
Auction Supplement Amount, then the Trustee (or any financial advisor on
its
behalf) shall notify promptly (but in any event no later than 3:00 p.m.
New York
time on the Business Day following the Bid Determination Date) the Winning
Bidder that its bid was the highest bid and shall provide wiring instructions
for payment of the bid amount into the Certificate Account by 12:00 p.m.
New
York time on the second Business Day following the Bid Determination Date
and,
if applicable, provide the Directing Certificateholder with wiring instructions
for payment of the Auction Supplement Amount into the Certificate Account
by
such time.
123
(d) If
such Winning Bidder does not wire the bid amount so that it is received
in the
Certificate Account in immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m. New York
time
on the second Business Day following the Bid Determination Date, the Trustee
shall repeat the process specified in the preceding paragraph with respect
to
the second highest bid, but only if such bid is at least the Minimum Auction
Amount or the Directing Certificateholder agrees to pay the new Auction
Supplement Amount. If no other bids are available to be accepted
pursuant to the preceding sentence, or if the amount remitted by the Winning
Bidder plus any Auction Supplement Amount remitted by the Directing
Certificateholder is less than the Minimum Auction Amount, then the auction
shall be considered to have failed for all purposes.
(e) The
Trustee shall not be liable with regard to the selection or engagement
of, or
for any act or omission of, a financial advisor pursuant to this Section
9.04 if
the Trustee engages Countrywide to be such financial advisor.
(f) In
the event of a Successful Auction and so long as the Winning Bidder has
wired
its bid amount (and the Directing Certificateholder has wired any Auction
Supplement Amount, if applicable) to the Certificate Account as provided
above,
then the Trustee shall promptly convey to the Winning Bidder the Mortgage
Loans
and REO Properties owned by the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall
take all reasonable actions requested by the Trustee to effect such conveyance,
including remitting to the Distribution Account from the Certificate Account,
on
the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which final distribution
on
the Certificates is required to be paid under this Agreement, all amounts
on
deposit in the Certificate Account, net of any amounts permitted to be
withdrawn
pursuant to Section 3.08(a) and amounts owing to the Trustee in reimbursement
of
its reasonable costs, including expenses associated with engaging any financial
advisor, incurred in connection with the auction process. Such
amounts owed to the Trustee shall be withdrawn from the Certificate Account
by
the Master Servicer and paid to the Trustee.
(g) Any
amount paid by the Winning Bidder in excess of the Minimum Auction Amount
shall
be distributed by the Trustee pro rata to the Class C-P Certificates on
the
Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is
made.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) [Reserved].
(j) The
Master Servicer may purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties owned
by the
Trust Fund for its own account pursuant to Section 9.01 or consent to the
NIM
Insurer’s purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties owned by the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 only if (1) the Directing Certificateholder
chooses not to request an auction as described above or if the immediately
preceding auction is unsuccessful or (2) the Master Servicer notifies the
Directing Certificateholder no later than 30 days prior to the date on
which the
Master Servicer or the NIM Insurer, as applicable, intends to effect the
purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties owned by the Trust Fund
and
the Directing Certificateholder does not direct the Trustee to conduct
an
auction prior to the end of that 30-day period.
(k) If
the Directing Certificateholder pays any Auction Supplement Amount pursuant
to
Section 9.04(c), on the final Distribution Date any amounts to be distributed
to
the Class C-P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02 will be distributed
as
follows, first to the Directing Certificateholder, in an amount up to such
Auction Supplement Amount and second to the Class C-P Certificates, pro
rata. For federal income tax purposes, such Auction Supplement Amount
so distributed shall be deemed paid pro rata to the Class C-P Certificates,
and
the portion of such amounts deemed distributed to holders of the Class
C-P
Certificates other than the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed
paid
from such other holders to the Directing Certificateholder.

significantly changes the permitted activities of the trust created by
this
Agreement may be made without the consent of a Majority in Interest of
each
Class of Certificates affected by such amendment. Each party to this

substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Swap
Counterparty and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section

THIS

LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED

|
SECTION
10.04.
|
Intention
of Parties.
|
(a) It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
(i) Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor and (ii) Trust Fund
by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an
absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the
intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge
thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of
the parties, such assets are held to be the property of any Seller or the
Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement
or any
Supplemental Transfer Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest
in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer
Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement (within the meaning
of the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York) with respect to all such
assets and security interests and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this
Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be
an
assignment and a grant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (a) by each
Seller to the Depositor or (b) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty, of a security
interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now
owned
or hereafter acquired.
Each
Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the Swap
Counterparty shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to
create a security interest in the 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 the
Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
interest
granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and
the Swap Counterparty.
(b) The
Depositor hereby represents that:
(i) This
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined
in the
Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”)) in
the Mortgage Notes in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is
prior to
all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Depositor.
127
(ii) The
Mortgage Notes constitutes “instruments” within the meaning of the NY
UCC.
(iii) Immediately
prior to the assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, the Depositor
owns
and has good and marketable title to such Mortgage Loan free and clear
of any
lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
(iv) The
Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms
of the
Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the
Trustee.
(v) All
original executed copies of each Mortgage Note that are required to be
delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 have been delivered to the
Trustee.
(vi) Other
than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
in,
or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has
not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering
the
Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been
terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
filings against the Depositor.
The
parties to this Agreement shall not waive any of the representations set
forth
in this Section 10.04(b) without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current
ratings of the Certificates.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to maintain
the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in
the
Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the obligation to deliver the Mortgage
File to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be solely the Depositor’s
obligation and the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the safekeeping
of the Mortgage Files by the Trustee.
(d) It
is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
subsection (b) above shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in subsection
(b) above, which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of
the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.
|
SECTION
10.05.
|
Notices.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating
Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has actual
knowledge:
1. Any
material change or amendment to this Agreement;
128
2. The
occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;
3. The
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee and the
appointment of any successor;
4. The

6. Any

In
addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency copies
of the
following:
1. Each

outstanding or
(2) the
NIM Insurer is owed amounts paid by it with respect to that
guaranty.
(b) The
rights of the NIM Insurer under this Agreement are exercisable by the NIM
Insurer only so long as no default by the NIM Insurer under its guaranty
of
certain payments under notes backed or secured by the Class C-P Certificates
has
occurred and is continuing. If the NIM Insurer is the subject of any insolvency
proceeding, the rights of the NIM Insurer under this Agreement will be

(1) the
obligations of the NIM Insurer under its guaranty of notes backed or secured
by
the Class C-P Certificates have not been disavowed and

by the Trustee, or to the Trustee or the Rating Agencies, shall in each
case at
the same time also be delivered to the NIM Insurer. Any notices required
to be
given by the Trustee, or to the Trustee or the Rating Agencies, shall in
each
case at the same time also be given to the NIM Insurer. If the
Trustee receives a notice or document that is required hereunder to be
delivered
to the NIM Insurer, and if such notice or document does not indicate that
a copy
thereof has been previously sent to the NIM Insurer, the Trustee shall
send the
NIM Insurer a copy of such notice or document. If such document is an
Opinion of Counsel, the NIM Insurer shall be an addressee thereof or such
Opinion of Counsel shall contain language permitting the NIM Insurer to
rely
thereon as if the NIM Insurer were an addressee thereof.
(e) Anything
in this Agreement that is conditioned on not resulting in the downgrading
or
withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates by the Rating
Agencies shall also be conditioned on not resulting in the downgrading
or
withdrawal of the ratings then assigned by the Rating Agencies to the notes
backed or secured by the Class C-P Certificates (without giving effect
to any
policy or guaranty provided by the NIM Insurer).

thereof with respect to the Trust Fund.

Report
on Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation.
|
(a) On
or before March 15 of each calendar year, commencing in 2008:
(1) Each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the
Depositor) regarding the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable,
assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately
preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the
Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be
signed by an authorized officer of such Person and shall address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form
of
Exhibit W hereto delivered to the Depositor concurrently with the execution
of
this Agreement. To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not
applicable to such Person, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving such Person and that are backed by the same
asset
type backing the Certificates, such report shall include such a statement
to
that effect. The Depositor and the Master Servicer, and each of their
respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely on upon each
such
servicing criteria assessment.
(2) Each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and delivered
pursuant to the preceding paragraphs. Such attestation shall be in
accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation that
in the
event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public
accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express
such an
opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not
contain restricted use language. To the extent any of the Servicing
Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with respect to asset-backed
securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Person and that
are
backed by the same asset type backing the Certificates, such report shall
include such a statement to that effect.
(3) The
Master Servicer shall cause each Subservicer and each Reporting Subcontractor
to
deliver to the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountant’s
attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
11.07.
(4) The
Trustee shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the Depositor
and
the Master Servicer an assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as
and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.
(5) The
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute (and the Master Servicer
shall
cause each Subservicer to execute, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee
shall
cause each Reporting Subcontractor to execute) a reliance certificate to
enable
the Certification Parties to rely upon each (i) annual compliance statement
provided pursuant to Section 3.16, (ii) annual report on assessments of
compliance with servicing criteria provided pursuant to this Section 11.07
and
(iii) accountant’s report provided pursuant to this Section 11.07 and shall
include a certification that each such annual compliance statement or report
discloses any deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public
accountants of such Person to enable such accountants to render the
certifications provided for in this Section 11.07. In the event the
Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Trustee or Reporting Subcontractor
is
terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall
provide a certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section
11.07
with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or
provided
services with respect to the Trust Fund, the Certificates or the Mortgage
Loans.
136
(b) In
the event the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Trustee or Reporting
Subcontractor is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement,
such
Person shall provide documents and information required by this Section
11.07
with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or
provided
services with respect to the Trust Fund, the Certificates or the Mortgage
Loans.
(c) Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section
11.07(a)(3) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit W hereto delivered to
the
Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the
case of a
Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of
such
appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor
pursuant to Section 11.07(a)(3) or (4) need not address any elements of
the
Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 11.07(a)(1).

SECTION
11.08.
|
Use
of Subservicers and Subcontractors.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Master Servicer
(or by
any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions
of Section 3.16 and this Article XI to the same extent as if such Subservicer
were the Master Servicer (except with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties
with respect to preparing and filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the
Certifying Person). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Depositor any servicer
compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under
Section
3.16, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered
by
such Subservicer under Section 11.07 and any certification required to
be
delivered to the Certifying Person under Section 11.05 as and when required
to
be delivered. As a condition to the succession to any Subservicer as
subservicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which such Subservicer
may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor
to
any Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, at
least 15
calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment,
(x)
written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y)
in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with
its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K.
(b) It
shall not be necessary for the Master Servicer, any Subservicer or the
Trustee
to seek the consent of the Depositor or any other party hereto to the
utilization of any Subcontractor. The Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor (or
any
designee of the Depositor, such as the Master Servicer or administrator)
a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor)
of the
role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Person (or in
the case
of the Master Servicer, any Subservicer), specifying (i) the identity of
each
such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will
be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
137
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting

set forth in this Schedule III-A to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the
Trustee, with respect to all of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Closing
Date, and with respect to all of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans as of
the
related Supplemental Transfer Date or if so specified herein, as of the
related
Supplemental Cut-off Date. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined in this Schedule III-A shall have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) relating
to the above-referenced Series, among Countrywide, as a seller, Park Granada
LLC, as a seller, Park Monaco Inc., as a seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a
seller,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer, CWALT, Inc., as

(1) The
information set forth on Schedule I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with
respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material
respects as of the Closing Date and with respect to each Supplemental Mortgage
Loan is true and correct in all material respects as of the related Supplemental
Transfer Date.
(2) As
of the Cut-off Date, none of the Mortgage Loans is 30 days or more
delinquent.
(3) No
Initial Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess
of
100.00%.
(4) Each
Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property
subject
only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording
of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal
made
in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c)
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by
such
Mortgage.
(5) [Reserved].
(6) There
is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged
Property.
S-III-A-1
(7) There
is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of
or
interest on such Mortgage Note.
(8) There
are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with,
the lien
of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in item (12) below.
(9) As
of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and as of
the
related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage
Loans, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is free
of material damage and in good repair.
(10) Each
Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, usury, equal
credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending laws, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of
any such
laws.
(11) As
of the Closing Date, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and as
of the
related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage
Loans, neither the Sellers nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified
the
Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have
been
modified by a written instrument which has been recorded or submitted for
recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Certificateholders
and the original or a copy of which has been delivered to the Trustee);
satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part;
released
the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such
Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification
or
satisfaction with respect thereto.
(12) A
lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement,
adjustable rate rider, negative amortization endorsement and extended coverage
endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal to the Cut-off
Date
Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder)
to
issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, and
each
such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
FNMA or
FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which policy insures
Countrywide and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above and against any loss by reason
of
the invalidity or the unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of the Mortgage providing for adjustment of the mortgage interest rate
and/or
the monthly payment including any negative amortization
thereunder. To the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, no claims have
been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder
of the
related Mortgage, including Countrywide, has done, by act or omission,
anything
which would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance
policy.
S-III-A-2
(13) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, all mortgage rate and payment adjustments,
if
any, made on or prior to the Cut-off Date have been made in accordance
with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications, if any,
and
applicable law.
(14) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an entity that satisfied
at the
time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(15) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included
for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(16) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation. To the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to
all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use
and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
(17) Each
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms and under applicable law. To the best of Countrywide’s
knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity
to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(18) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements
as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees
and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the Mortgage Loans
were
paid.
(19) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render
the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against
the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i)
in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(20) With
respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly
qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are
or will become payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the
deed
of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
S-III-A-3
(21) Each
Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the forms acceptable
to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC,
as
the case may be.
(22) There
exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if
such are
required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not
been
made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due
Countrywide have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note.
(23) The
origination, underwriting and collection practices used by Countrywide
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.
(24) There
is no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing
the
Mortgagor’s obligations.
(25) No
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest
feature.
(26) Each
Mortgage Loan contains a customary “due on sale” clause.
(27) Approximately
83.99% of the Initial Mortgage Loans, by aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Initial Cut-off Date, provide for
a
Prepayment Charge.
(28) Each
Mortgage Loan that had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of
80% is
the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that portion of
the
principal balance equal to a specified percentage times the sum of the
remaining
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the accrued interest thereon
and
the related foreclosure expenses. The specified coverage percentage
for mortgage loans with terms to maturity between 25 and 30 years is 12%
for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01%
and
95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 95.01% and 100%. The
specified coverage percentage for mortgage loans with terms to maturity
of up to
20 years ranges from 6% to 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01%
and
85.00%, from 12% to 20% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00%
and
20% to 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and 95.00%. Each
such Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. All
provisions of any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being
complied
with, any such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary
Insurance Policy obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee thereunder
to
maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 3.09(b)
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Rate for each Mortgage
Loan is net of any such insurance premium.
(29) As
of the Closing Date or the related Supplemental Transfer Date, the improvements
upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard
insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for
fire and
extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customary
in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding
principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of
such
policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee
from
becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for
the
condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and all
flood policies referred to in item (30) below contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming Countrywide or the original mortgagee, and its successors
in
interest, as mortgagee, and Countrywide has received no notice that any
premiums
due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance including flood insurance at
the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
at
the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor.
S-III-A-4
(30) If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register
by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a
flood
insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of
the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged
Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage
not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance
of the
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage
or loss
on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that
is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
(31) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no proceeding occurring, pending
or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property.
(32) There
is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note and, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no material
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and Countrywide
has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(33) Each
Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling
including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs, which, to the best
of
Countrywide’s knowledge, does not include cooperatives or mobile homes and does
not constitute other than real property under state law.
(34) Each
Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master Servicer.
(35) Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal
amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master
Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the
Mortgagor.
S-III-A-5
(36) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due
and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an
amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has
been
assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in
the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date
of the
Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever
is
later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes
and
insurance payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage.
(37) Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects in accordance with
the
underwriting guidelines described in the Prospectus Supplement.
(38) Other
than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation Mortgage Loan as to
which the
loan-to-value ratio of the related Original Mortgage Loan was less than
90% at
the time of the origination of such Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged
Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the
originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property
or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is
not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal
is
in a form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.
(39) None
of the Initial Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment mortgage loan or a
growing
equity mortgage loan, and none of the Initial Mortgage Loans is subject
to a
buydown or similar arrangement.
(40) Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than five
years
in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(41) The
Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding adjustable-rate
one- to
four-family mortgage loans in the portfolios of the Sellers at the Closing
Date
as to which the representations and warranties made as to the Mortgage
Loans set
forth in this Schedule III-A can be made. Such selection was not made
in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests of
Certificateholders.
(42) Except
for 3.17% of the Initial Mortgage Loans, by aggregate Stated Principal
Balance
of the Mortgage Loans as of the Initial Cut-off Date, each Mortgage Loan
transferred and assigned to the Trustee on the Closing Date has a payment
date
on or before March 1, 2007.
(43) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has been delivered
to the
Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note is a Lost Mortgage Note,
if
such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in default, the enforcement of such
Mortgage
Loan or of the related Mortgage by or on behalf of the Trustee will not
be
materially adversely affected by the absence of the original Mortgage
Note. A “Lost Mortgage Note” is a Mortgage Note the original of which
was permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced.
S-III-A-6
(44) The
Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform in all material
respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus Supplement.
(45) No
Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003
is
governedby the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
(46) None
of the Mortgage Loans are “high cost” loans as defined by applicable predatory
and abusive lending laws.
(47) None
of the Mortgage Loans are covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection
Act of 1994 (“HOEPA”).
(48) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et
seq.).
(49) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan
Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx. §§ 58-21A-1 et
seq.).
(50) All
of the Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with all applicable
laws,
including, but not limited to, all applicable anti-predatory and abusive
lending
laws.
(51) No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and with
respect to the foregoing, the terms “High Cost Loan” and “Covered Loan” have the
meaning assigned to them in Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Version 5.7 Glossary
Revised, Appendix E which is attached hereto as Exhibit Q (the “Glossary”) where
(x) a “High Cost Loan” is each loan identified in the column “Category under
applicable anti-predatory lending law” of the table entitled “Standard &
Poor’s High Cost Loan Categorization” in the Glossary as each such loan is
defined in the applicable anti-predatory lending law of the State or
jurisdiction specified in such table and (y) a “Covered Loan” is each loan
identified in the column “Category under applicable anti-predatory lending law”
of the table entitled “Standard & Poor’s Covered Loan Categorization” in the
Glossary as each such loan is defined in the applicable anti-predatory
lending
law of the State or jurisdiction specified in such table.

Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on
the
face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date
specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the
Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant
to
the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
by
first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified
in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
E-1
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
in
New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and any agent
of the
Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance is less than
or
equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance,
the Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set
forth
in the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans
at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event
that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity 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 in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be
distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the
trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of
,
the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
(the
“Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of _________ __, 2___ (the “Agreement”), by and among CWALT, Inc., as depositor
(the “Depositor”), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (the “Company”), as a Seller,
Park Granada LLC, as a Seller, Park Monaco, Inc., as a Seller, Park Sienna
LLC,
as a Seller (and together with the Company, Park Granada and Park Monaco,
the
“Sellers”), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as Master Servicer and The Bank
of New York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined
herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in
the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make
this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, nor is it acting
on
behalf of or with plan assets of any such plan. The Transferee is, as of
the
date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted
Transferee. The Transferee will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in
the Certificate for its own account.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed
on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
(ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is
through
an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that
is
not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise
liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent
Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does
not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect
to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit
that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
I-1
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
(attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and
understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest
in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent
Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory
sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted
on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render
the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection
with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver
to
the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit
J-1 to
the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee
has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made
is
not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Class A-R
Certificates.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ______________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code section
7701(a)(30) and, unless the Transferor (or any subsequent
transferor) expressly waives such requirement, will not cause income from
the
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee
or another U.S. taxpayer.
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Class A-R Certificates may be “noneconomic residual
interests” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and
that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable
for
any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless
no
significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection
of tax. In addition, as the Holder of a noneconomic residual
interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows
generated by the interest and the Transferee hereby represents that it intends
to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as they become
due.
I-2
11. The
Transferee has provided financial statements or other financial information
requested by the Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Certificate
to permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the Transferee
to
pay such taxes. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as
they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the
future.
12. Unless
the Transferor (or any subsequent transferor) expressly waives such requirement,
the Transferee (and any subsequent transferee) certifies (or will certify),
respectively, that the transfer satisfies either the “Asset Test” imposed by
Treasury Regulation § 1.860E-1(c)(5) or the “Formula
Test” imposed by Treasury Regulation § 1.860E-1(c)(7).

The

EXHIBIT
I
Certain
Definitions
“Asset
Test”: A transfer satisfies the Asset Test if: (i) At
the time of the transfer, and
at the close of each of the transferee's two fiscal years preceding the
transferee's fiscal year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. The gross assets and net
assets
of a transferee do not include any obligation of any “related person” or any
other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the other asset
is
to permit the transferee to satisfy such monetary conditions; (ii) The
transferee must be
an “eligible corporation” and must agree in writing that any subsequent transfer
of the interest will be to another eligible corporation in a transaction
that
satisfies paragraphs 9 through 11 of this Transfer Affidavit and the Asset
Test.
A transfer fails to meet the Asset Test if the transferor knows, or has reason
to know, that the transferee will not honor the restrictions on subsequent
transfers of the Certificate; and (iii)
A
reasonable person would not conclude, based on the facts
and circumstances known to the transferor on or before the date of the transfer,
that the taxes associated with the Certificate will not be paid. The
consideration given to the transferee to acquire the Certificate is only
one
factor to be considered, but the transferor will be deemed to know that the
transferee cannot or will not pay if the amount of consideration is so low
compared to the liabilities assumed that a reasonable person would conclude
that
the taxes associated with holding the Certificate will not be
paid. For purposes of applying the Asset Test, (i) an “eligible
corporation” means any
domestic C corporation (as defined in section 1361(a)(2) of the Code) other
than (A) a
corporation which is exempt from, or is not subject to, tax under section
11 of
the Code, (B) an
entity described in section 851(a) or 856(a) of the Code, (C) A
REMIC, or (D) an
organization to
which part I of subchapter T of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code applies;
(ii) a
“related
person” is any person that (A)
bears
a relationship to the transferee enumerated in section
267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using “20 percent” instead of “50 percent”
where it appears under the provisions, or (B) is
under common
control (within the meaning of section 52(a) and (b)) with the transferee.
“Formula
Test”: A transfer satisfies the formula test if the present value of the
anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate does
not
exceed the sum of
(i) the present value of any
consideration given to the
transferee to acquire the Certificate; (ii)
the
present value of the expected future distributions
on the Certificate; and (iii) the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding the Certificate as the issuing REMIC generates
losses. For
purposes of applying the Formula Test: (i) The
transferee is assumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the
highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code. If the transferee
has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under section 55 of the Code
in
the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current
taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate, then the tax rate specified
in section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code; (ii)
The
transfer must satisfy paragraph 9 of the Transfer
Affidavit; and (iii) Present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to
the Federal short-term rate prescribed by section 1274(d) of the Code for
the
month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the
taxpayer.
I-6
“Ownership
Interest”: As to any Certificate, any ownership interest in such
Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder thereof
and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or
beneficial.
“Permitted
Transferee”: Any person other than (i) the United States, any State
or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any
of the
foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency
or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except
certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code) that is
exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed
by
section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess
inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to
any
Class A-R Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described
in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership” as
defined in section 775 of the Code, (vi) a Person that is not a citizen or
resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other entity
(treated as a corporation or a partnership for federal income tax purposes)
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate 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, or a trust if a court within
the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
of
the trust and one or more United States persons have authority to control
all
substantial decisions of the trustor unless such Person has furnished the
transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service
Form
W-8ECI, and (vii) any other Person so designated by the Trustee based upon
an
Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class
A-R

Section
5.02(c) of the Agreement
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(1) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R 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.
(2) Except
in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax Matters Person Certificate
in
the name of the Trustee or (ii) any registration in the name of, or transfer
of
a Class A-R Certificate to, an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly
or
through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates,
no Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be registered on the
Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register
the
Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate unless, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(3) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such
Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
of
a Class A-R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a
Class A-R Certificate, or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a
Class A-R Certificate to any other Person, if it has actual knowledge that
such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(4) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall
be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Class
A-R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that is
in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so
long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit and Transferor Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled
but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that
was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at
such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments
made on such Class A-R Certificate at and after either such time. Any
such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by
the
Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
I-8
(5) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Class A-R Certificate set forth in this section
5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on
a
Class A-R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Sellers or the Master Servicer, to
the
effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any constituent
REMIC of any REMIC formed hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time
that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any
tax on
the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of
Counsel
furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record
ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class A-R Certificate is not
transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class
A-R
Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to
a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

APPENDIX E
– Standard & Poor’s Predatory Lending Categories
Standard
& Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of
factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note
that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included
in
Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

1.
A
Principal Prepayment in full or in part was received during the related

As to
each Mortgage Loan set forth on the attached schedule for which all or part
