The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders
all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security
interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-off
Date Principal Balance, all interest accruing thereon after the Cut-off Date and
all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) property which secured each such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired
by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any
insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (iv) all other assets
included or to be included in the Trust Fund; (v) all proceeds of any of the
foregoing; (vi) the rights of the Depositor under the Consulting Agreement; and
(vii) the rights of the Depositor under the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such assignment includes all
interest and principal due to the Depositor or the Servicer after the Cut-off
Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, or its designated agent, the
following documents or instruments (a "Mortgage File") with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or with respect to
any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit, together with a
copy of the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and
the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed
pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon or, if
such Mortgage or power of attorney has been submitted for recording but
has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, has
been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power
of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true and complete copy
of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) an original Assignment (which may be in blank), in form and
substance acceptable for recording; provided, however, if the related
Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration
Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its designee, no Assignment in favor of the
Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the
Servicer shall take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust to be
shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for
purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS;
(iv) an original copy of any intervening assignment of Mortgage
showing a complete chain of assignments;
(v) the original or a certified copy of lender's title insurance
policy; and
(vi) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, on or prior to the Closing Date, an
acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Notes relating to the
Mortgage Loans (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or
(iv) above have as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either
(x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such
document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee no later than the
Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the
case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y)
above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the
Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such
document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller
shall have 120 days to cure such defect or 150 days following the Closing Date,
in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments or deliver such missing document
to the Trustee. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing
document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03.
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee executed copies of
the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations, on behalf of the Trust, under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement and to make the representations of the Trust contained therein. The
Servicer and the Depositor acknowledge and agree that (i) the Trustee shall
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee under the Agreement
and not in its individual capacity, and (ii) the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for the contents of such Interest Rate Swap Agreement, including,
without limitation, the representations and warranties contained therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to make any payments from
its own funds to the Swap Provider.
It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not
intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined in any of (i) the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003, (ii) the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act, effective
January 1, 2004, (iii) the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act,
effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act,
effective January 1, 2005.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Depositor shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Trustee shall provide a copy of the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to any Certificateholders upon written request made to it at the
addresses set forth on Exhibit D, as the same may be amended from time to time
by written notice from such party to the other parties hereto.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges the receipt of, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions
noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in
the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
review each Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day within 60 days of receipt and with respect to any Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan, within 60 days after the assignment thereof) and to certify in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in
its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on
its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1), (2), (10) and (22) of the
Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage
File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is
under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be
missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review
the Trustee shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Originator, the Seller, the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator in the Originator Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation with respect to a Group 1 Mortgage Loan or Group 2
Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect
such Mortgage Loan or the interest of the related Certificateholders therein.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
Section 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the
Originator or the Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation or warranty
under the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge
or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly
notify the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, the Servicer and the
NIMS Insurer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that, in the
case of a defective or missing document, the Seller cure such defect or deliver
such missing document within 120 days from the date the Seller was notified of
such missing document or defect or, in the case of a beach of a representation
or warranty, request the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, cure such
breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller, as the case
may be, was notified of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach
of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation with respect to a Group 1
Mortgage Loan or Group 2 Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such Mortgage Loan or the interest of the
related Certificateholders therein. If the Seller does not deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or if the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
does not cure such breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the Originator's or the Seller's obligation, as the case
may be, under the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and cause the Originator or the Seller,
as applicable, to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of
such period (subject to Section 2.03(d)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller,
as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee
shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu
of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator or the
Seller, as the case may be, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the
Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c).
With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the
Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement that are made to the best of the Originator's or the Seller's
knowledge, as applicable, or as to which the Originator or the Seller, as the
case may be, has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer 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, Prepayment Charge or
the interest therein of the Certificateholders then, notwithstanding the
Originator's or the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation
or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or warranty.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee and the Closing Date and shall inure to the benefit of the
Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or
assignment. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originator
and the Seller set forth in this Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or
repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and to pay the
Reimbursement Amount constitute the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders and to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in the Originator Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
The representations and warranties of the Originator with respect to
the Mortgage Loans in the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which
have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the dates specified
in the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. To the extent that any fact,
condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both
(i) a representation or warranty of the Originator under the Originator Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Seller
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (other than Seller's representations
with respect to predatory and abusive lending laws in Section 3.01(k) and
3.01(s) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), the only right or remedy of
the Trustee or of any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's right to enforce
the obligations of the Originator under any applicable representation or
warranty made by it. The Trustee acknowledges that the Seller shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or
warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as otherwise set
forth in this paragraph) if the fact, condition or event constituting such
breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by the
Originator in the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, without regard to
whether the Originator fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such
representation or warranty. In addition, to the extent that any fact, condition
or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (x) the
Option One Mortgage Corporation's representation with respect to predatory and
abusive lending laws in Section 3.03(i) or 3.03(ddd) of the Originator Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and (y) the Seller's representation with respect to
predatory and abusive lending laws in Section 3.01(k) or 3.01(s) of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator shall be obligated to pay the
Reimbursement Amount relating to such Mortgage Loan, and, to the extent the
Originator fails to do so, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the Seller's
obligation to pay such Reimbursement Amount. In any event, the Reimbursement
Amount shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account within 10 days from the date the Seller was notified by the Trustee of
the Reimbursement Amount.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior
to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to
any Defective Mortgage Loan for which an Originator or the Seller substitutes an
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected
by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee for
such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of
the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with
respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust
Fund and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the
Collection Period or Prepayment Period, as applicable, preceding the date of
substitution and the Depositor, the Originator or the Seller, as the case may
be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in
respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be
given written notice to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution
effected by the Originator or the Seller, the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Originator or the
Seller, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the
Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
as the case may be, as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Originator or the Seller substitutes one
or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution,
together with one month's interest on such principal balance at the applicable
Net Mortgage Interest Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator or
the Seller, as the case may be, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the
related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and notice by the Servicer of
such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or the
Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of
the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered,
then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion
of Counsel can be given.
(d) Upon discovery by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans
for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In addition,
upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that would cause it
to be a "defective obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
relating to REMICs, the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, shall cure
the defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90 days
after the discovery of the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be
made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be
released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.
(e) If a Mortgagor is forty-five (45) days or more delinquent with
respect to a Mortgage Loan's first Monthly Payment that was due after the
transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Seller under the Originator Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon direction of the Depositor, enforce
the Originator's obligation under Section 3.05 of the Originator Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan (an "EPD Loan") at the
purchase price set forth in the Originator Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;
provided, however, the Depositor shall not direct the Trustee to enforce the
Originator's obligation to repurchase any EPD Loan pursuant to this paragraph
that was originated more than six months prior to its purchase by the Seller
from the Originator unless the sum of (i) the repurchase price of such EPD Loan
and all other EPD Loans previously repurchased that were originated more than
six months prior to their purchase by the Seller from the Originator and (ii)
the fair market value of the Subordinate Certificates retained by the Seller or
its Affiliates (other than Banc of America Securities LLC) would not exceed 10%
of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance. To the extent that the purchase price of
any EPD Loan purchased by the Originator pursuant to this Section 2.03(e)
exceeds the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall remit such
excess to the Seller.
Section 2.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and
to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer that as of the Closing Date or as of such

and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has all

on the ability of the Servicer to conduct its business as it is presently
conducted, and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in the states
where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state require
licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type

National Housing Act and is in good standing to sell mortgage loans to and
service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, and no event has
occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,
which would make the Servicer unable to comply with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac eligibility requirements or which would require notification to either
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(iv) This Agreement, and all documents and instruments contemplated
hereby which are executed and delivered by the Servicer, constitute and
will constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Servicer,

ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now
conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer, or
that would draw into question the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the
obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or that would be likely
to impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform under the
terms of this Agreement;
(vii) No consent, approval or order of any court or governmental

material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ix) The Servicer has fully furnished, and shall continue to fully

of a servicing performance test or trigger;
(xiii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement,
no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with
respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving
the Servicer as a servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Servicer

(xiv) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no

Certificates; and

It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any

on behalf of the Certificateholders and to the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer as

equity);

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal
and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers servicing similar
mortgage loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own
portfolio, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause
to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement (the "Servicing Standard").
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future
advances and, except as set forth in the following sentence or Section 3.03, the
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment
thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal
amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity
date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) affect adversely the status of any
REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or (iii) cause any such
REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. In the event that the Mortgagor is in default
with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer may permit a modification of such
Mortgage Loan to reduce the Principal Balance thereof and/or extend the term,
but not beyond the latest maturity date of any other Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury
Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail
to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC
Provisions. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be required for any
modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding
Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the
number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Trustee, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make all
required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagor
any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Servicer within at least fifteen (15) Business Day of
receipt, upon request, any powers of attorney furnished to it by the Servicer
empowering the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon
or otherwise liquidate any Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or
defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged
Properties, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such other documents as the Servicer may request, necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Servicing
Standard (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers
of attorney by the Servicer). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Servicer shall not without the Trustee's written consent: (i)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without
indicating the Servicer's representative capacity or (ii) take any action with
the intent to cause, and which results in, the Trustee being registered to do
business in any state.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same
care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage
servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Certificateholders'
reliance on the Servicer.
The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action,
of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the
Trust Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the
terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i)(a) the Servicer determines that
such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans, (b)
such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and (c)
would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of
Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge, or (ii) 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. If the Servicer has waived or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer,
other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, on the date on which the
Principal Prepayment in full is remitted to the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee
the Servicer Prepayment Charge Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan for
distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that a Prepayment Charge due with respect to any
Mortgage Loan is not timely received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether the Originator is obligated
to pay an Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, and if the Servicer
determines that an Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amount is due, the
Servicer shall promptly notify the Originator, and the Servicer shall enforce
the Originator's obligations to pay in a timely manner any such Originator
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts and, to the extent that such amounts are
received by the Servicer, shall cause such amounts to be deposited into the
Collection Account within one Business Day of receipt.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest
on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full or as long as the Mortgage Loan remains
subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due
under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as it follows with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own
account. Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and
estimating on escrowed Mortgage Loans annual ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums,
and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and
payable to that end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be
sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
Section 3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not
paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails
to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such
failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take
such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders. With respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall have the right to review the status of the related forbearance plan and,
subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance
plan; including extending the Mortgage Loan repayment date for a period of one
year or reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate up to 50 basis points.
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer
shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and
consistent with Applicable Regulations and the Servicing Standards, including,
without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance
premiums.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice
of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain
title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the
Trust would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of,
or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer
has received the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer and has received a
prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits
using customary industry standards, that:
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the
Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
B. there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could
be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such
actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.05(iv).
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject
to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05.
Section 3.04 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection
Accounts. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis
and in no event more than one Business Day after receipt thereof in the clearing
account (which must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan
servicing activities, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in
no event more than one Business Day after deposit of such funds in the clearing
account, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or
made by it after the Cut-off Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than in respect of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate and any
Prepayment Interest Excess;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds and any Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.10, other than proceeds to be held in the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which
are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13;
(vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection
with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan, all
Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by the Originator and
all Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be paid by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 in connection with any such Principal
Prepayment; and
(viii) all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 2.03.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to Section 3.25, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(v). The foregoing requirements for
deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and
agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges, bad check fees, prepayment charges that are not
Prepayment Charges, Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts or Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, assumption fees and other similar fees need
not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. Amounts deposited in
the Collection Account in error may be withdrawn by the Servicer at any time.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of
the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York
time on the Servicer Remittance Date, (i) that portion of the Available Funds
(calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to
amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different
source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account, (ii) the
amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with
the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any of the Mortgage Loans then on
deposit in the Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Charges
received after the related Prepayment Period) and (iii) any Originator
Prepayment Charge Payment Amount or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amount. Amounts in the Distribution Account shall be deemed to be held on behalf
of the Grantor Trust and the related REMICs in accordance with the REMIC
distributions set forth in Section 4.08. The Trustee shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Distribution Account any amounts owing to it pursuant to
Section 8.05 and Section 9.01(c) prior to the distribution of any amounts on
deposit to the Certificateholders; provided, however, the Trustee shall provide
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer with a written account of such
amounts five Business Days prior to withdrawing such funds. In connection with
any failure by the Servicer to make any remittance required to be made by the
Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the day and
by the time such remittance is required to be made under the terms of this
Section 3.04(b) (without giving effect to any grace or cure period), the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Trustee interest at the
prime rate of United States money center commercial banks as published in The
Wall Street Journal on any amount not timely remitted from and including the day
such remittance was required to be made to, but not including, the day on which
such remittance was actually made.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may
be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth
in Section 3.25. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of the location of the
Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from
the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee
shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
(ii) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;
(iii) any amounts required to be delivered by the Servicer to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 2.03,
3.04, 3.13, 3.15, 3.16, 3.23, 3.24, 3.32, 4.07 or 10.01; and
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket
hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer's own
funds, without reimbursement therefor.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source,
the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in
the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder.
In addition, the Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts
required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.25(b) in connection with losses
realized on Eligible Investments with respect to funds held in the Distribution
Account.
(f) Any Prepayment Charges, Originator Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts deposited pursuant to
Section 3.04(a)(vii) shall not be assets of any REMIC created hereunder, but
shall be considered assets of the Grantor Trust held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Class P Certificateholders.
Section 3.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.
The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or
permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section
3.04(d);
(ii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and
Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances
were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07; (b) any
unreimbursed Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late
Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer
for such unreimbursed Advances; or (c) subject to Section 4.07(b), any
unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection
Account for future distribution that were not included in Available Funds
for the preceding Distribution Date;
(iii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any
unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but
only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, and (c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only
to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to
reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances;
(iv) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid or expenses incurred
pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(v) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest
earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be
withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date), (b) the
Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest
to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant to
Section 3.04(a)(ii) and (c) any Prepayment Interest Excess;
(vi) to pay or reimburse itself for any amounts payable or paid
pursuant to Section 6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed); and
(vii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow
Accounts.
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts (which may be evidenced by a
letter agreement), in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. A copy of
such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon request. The Escrow
Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis
and in no event more than one Business Day after receipt thereof in the clearing
account (which must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan
servicing activities, and shall thereafter deposit in the Escrow Account or
Accounts, in no event more than one Business Day after deposit of such funds in
the clearing account, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on
account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any
Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect
such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicer
shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow
Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds
required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the
related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest
on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is
non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such
purposes.
Section 3.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i)
to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates,
fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums and comparable items in a manner and
at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized
(or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids
the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a
result of a tax lien), (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance
made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or
Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder with respect to taxes and
assessments and with respect to hazard insurance, (iii) to refund to the
Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to
the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage
Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the
Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the
termination of this Agreement, or (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account
any insurance proceeds. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay
to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required
by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such
interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Collections Thereunder.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow
Payments, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of
ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may
become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire, flood and
hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner
and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not
jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time
that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien). To the extent that the Mortgage does not
provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to
determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they
first become due. If any such payment has not been made, the Servicer will
advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance
coverage on the Mortgaged Property and to assure that no Mortgaged Property is
lost to a tax sale or foreclosure as a result of a tax lien.
Section 3.09 Transfer of Accounts.
The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account and the Escrow
Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Upon such
transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor, a certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required
pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or
loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost
basis or (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an
area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under
the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also
maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal
to the lesser of (i) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, (y) public liability
insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided
above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than
amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or
maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than
pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed
with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall
provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The
Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless
such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:III or better in
Best's Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the
property subject to the policy is located.
Section 3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:III or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage
Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to
the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all
other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and
agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10,
and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause,
which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from the Trust Fund. In
connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer
thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially
modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond (the "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with
broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to
handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the
Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure
the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any
insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the
Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae MBS
Selling and Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Servicer's
Guide. Upon request of the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer shall cause
to be delivered to the requesting party a certified true copy of the Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety
and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty
days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the
Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of
the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or
permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is
located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws
of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an
Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to
practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or
Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing
that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of
the third taxable year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust
Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code unless the Servicer has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service of the
above-mentioned grace period such that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to such period will not: (i) result in the imposition of any
tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii)
cause any REMIC constituting any part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates)
are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO
Property.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of
the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income
earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections
860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related REMIC of
any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall cause each
REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and
shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The
Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written or electronic report of each
such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies
thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Trustee upon request. The
Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on
such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account
separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily
basis, within one Business Day of receipt, in the Collection Account, all
revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the
related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance
pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on
behalf of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, on each Servicer
Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the
operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement
shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably
request.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the
Certificateholders' interests.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO Property
was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, Servicing Fees and Advances with respect to the REO Property, the
Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees
and Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for transfer to the
Distribution Account on the succeeding Servicer Remittance Date in accordance
with Section 3.04(a)(vi).
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the
REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the
effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).
Section 3.14 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements.
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and
modification agreement 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 law or the Mortgage, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under
applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Note; provided that no such substitution will be
permitted unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer
and has a credit score at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. The
Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements,
representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not take or
enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the
extent practicable under the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation,
in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the
Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee to
the related Mortgage File and which 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. The Servicer shall be responsible for
recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any
such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related
Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately
prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding
principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any
required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any
fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering
into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.15 Notification of Adjustments.
On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Interest
Rate adjustments for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the
requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable
Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each
Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage
Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the Trustee
that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage
Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused
thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall be
held harmless with respect to any Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments made by any
servicer prior to the Servicer.
Section 3.16 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of the
Servicer
The Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any
Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under
this Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of this Section
3.16 and the proposed Subservicer (i) is an institution which is an approved
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer as indicated in writing, (ii)
represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state as
necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing
agreement and (iii) is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer.
The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the NIMS Insurer of the appointment of any Subservicer and shall
furnish to the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer a copy of any related
subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be
deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by
any Subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each
subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer or the Trustee
shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if
the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Servicer shall cause any
Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) to comply with the
provisions of this Section 3.16 and with Sections 3.19, 3.20 and 3.31 of this
Agreement (and shall amend, with the consent of the parties hereto, Exhibit Q to
reflect such Subservicer's Assessment of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria)
to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. The Servicer shall
be responsible for obtaining from each such Subservicer and delivering to the
applicable Persons any Assessment of Compliance and related Attestation Report
required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Sections 3.19 and 3.20 and
any certification required to be delivered under Section 3.31 to the Person that
will be responsible for signing the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification, in each case
as and when required to be delivered.
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16, the
Servicer is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain
of its obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide
to the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the
Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor that is a
Servicing Function Participant and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria
will be addressed in Assessments of Compliance provided by each Servicing
Function Participant. As a condition to the utilization by the Servicer of any
Servicing Function Participant, the Servicer shall cause any such Servicing
Function Participant for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Section 3.19 and 3.20 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
such Servicing Function Participant were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be
responsible for obtaining from each such Servicing Function Participant and
delivering to the applicable Persons any Assessment of Compliance and related
Attestation Report required to be delivered by such Servicing Function
Participant under Section 3.20, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer engages a
Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such
Subcontractor is an Additional Servicer.
Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a
Subservicer or a Subcontractor or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer, Subcontractor or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer or the Subcontractor and to the same extent and under the same terms
and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a Subservicer or Subcontractor for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Subservicer or Subcontractor and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor and the
Trustee and any of their directors, officers, employees or agents and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way
related to the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations under
Section 3.16, Section 3.19, Section 3.20 or Section 3.31.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any
liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, in written form (with two executed copies) or electronic form, of a
completed "Request for Release" in the form of Exhibit E. Upon receipt of such
Request for Release of Documents, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File within three (3) Business Days via overnight mail delivery (at the
expense of the Servicer), in trust, to (i) the Servicer, or (ii) such other
party identified in the related Request for Release. The Trustee agrees to
indemnify the Servicer, out of its own funds, for any loss, liability or expense
(other than special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages which will not
be paid by the Trustee) incurred by the Servicer as a direct result of the
negligence or willful misconduct by the Trustee in releasing the Mortgage File
as provided above. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such
notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Trustee hereby
authorizes and empowers the Servicer to execute an instrument of satisfaction
(or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment shall
be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor
of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may
be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any
Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable
conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any insurance policy relating
to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or
liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage File is released to an escrow
agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon written request of
the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in written form (with two executed
copies) or electronic form, of a "Request for Release" in the form of Exhibit E
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer
within three (3) Business Days and shall execute such documents as shall be
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without
limitation, an assignment without recourse of the related Mortgage to the
Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File
to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless
the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a Request
for Release evidencing such liquidation, the receipt shall be released by the
Trustee to the Servicer.
(c) Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to
accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of
Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties
subject to Mortgages, (iv) modifications, and (v) second mortgage subordination
agreements. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer
unless: (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
(which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not
affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as
a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to
a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions; (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been
complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any
release does not exceed the maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio
established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans;
and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt
by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer's certificate setting forth the action
proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying
that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been
satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or
partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or
partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer's
certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan (including REO Properties) and any Prepayment Interest Excess. The Servicer
shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the form of
release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension
fees, late payment charges, prepayment charges that are not Prepayment Charges,
Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts or Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts, or any other service-related fees and similar items, to the
extent collected from Mortgagors.
Section 3.19 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Trustee and the Servicer shall deliver, and shall cause each
Additional Servicer engaged by it to deliver, or otherwise make available to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency, no later than
March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officers' certificate in
the form required by Item 1123 of Regulation AB (each, a "Compliance
Statement"), signed by an officer of such party, stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (a) a review of the activities of such party during the preceding
calendar year or portion thereof and of the performance of such party under this
Agreement, or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, such other applicable
agreement, has been made by such officer or under such officer's supervision and
(b) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, such party
has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement, or, in the case of an
Additional Servicer, such other applicable agreement in all material respects
throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Each such
Compliance Statement shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.
The obligations of the Servicer and the Trustee under this Section apply to each
entity that acted as Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, during the applicable
period, whether or not such entity is acting as Servicer or Trustee at the time
such Compliance Statement is required to be delivered.
Section 3.20 Assessments of Compliance; Attestation Reports.
(a) Each of the Servicer and the Trustee, at its own expense, shall
furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to
furnish, at such party's expense, to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor in electronic form, on or before March 15th of each calendar year
beginning in 2007, a report on an assessment of compliance (each, an "Assessment
of Compliance") with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a
statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the
Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable
to it, (C) such party's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to it as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required
to be filed pursuant to Section 3.31, including, if there has been any material
instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, an
identification of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, (D) a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an Attestation
Report on such party's Assessment of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to such party as of and for such period and (E) a statement as to
which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to such party, which
statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to
asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such party, that
are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
Each such Assessment of Compliance shall be addressed to the
Depositor and the Trustee and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable
party, and shall address each of the Relevant Servicing Criteria set forth on
Exhibit Q hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor
and the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20(c). The Servicer and the Trustee hereby
acknowledge and agree that their respective Assessments of Compliance will cover
the items identified on Exhibit Q hereto as being covered by such party. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing
Criterion has multiple components, each party's assessment of compliance (and
related Attestation of Compliance) will relate only to those components that are
applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of such Assessments of
Compliance, the Trustee shall confirm that the Assessments of Compliance, taken
individually address the applicable Servicing Criteria for each party as set
forth on Exhibit Q and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
(b) Each of the Servicer and the Trustee, at its own expense, shall
cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it, at such
party's expense, to cause, on or before March 15th of each year, commencing in
2007, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services
to the Servicer, the Trustee, or such other Servicing Function Participants, as
the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish electronically a report (an "Attestation Report")
to the Trustee and the Depositor (with a hard copy to follow within 10 calendar
days), to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain
matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such
party has complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, and (ii) on the
basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for
attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party's
Assessment of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all
material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such
party's Assessment of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria. In the event that
an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such
report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use
language. If requested by the Depositor, such report shall contain or be
accompanied by a consent of such accounting firm to inclusion or incorporation
of such report in the Depositor's registration statement on Form S-3 relating to
the Offered Certificates and the Form 10-K for the Trust.
Promptly after receipt of such Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report, the Trustee shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance
is coupled with a related Attestation Report and shall notify the Depositor of
any exceptions.
(c) No later than 30 days following the end of each fiscal year for
the Trust for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed, (i) the Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee and Depositor the name of each Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it and what Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the
report on Assessment of Compliance prepared by such Servicing Function
Participant and (ii) the Trustee shall forward to the Depositor the name of each
Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in the report on Assessment of Compliance prepared by such Servicing
Function Participant, in each case to the extent of any change from the prior
year's notice, if any. When the Servicer and the Trustee submit their respective
Assessment of Compliance to the Depositor, the Servicer and/or Trustee, as
applicable, shall also at such time include the Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by the
Servicer and/or Trustee, as applicable.
(d) Beginning with fiscal year 2008 and thereafter, none of the
Servicer, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such
parties shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of any such
Assessments of Compliance or Attestation Reports until April 15 unless such
party has received written notice from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is
required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year.
Section 3.21 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, Certificateholders
that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the
foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be
required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the available
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, such access being afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable advance request and during normal business hours
at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
(b) The Servicer, in its capacity as the Originator and Servicer,

this Agreement.
Section 3.22 Duties of Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager shall
provide reports and recommendations as to loss mitigation activities concerning
Mortgage Loans that are past due, are in default, as to which there has been
commencement of foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise
of remedies, as to which any obligor is the subject of bankruptcy, receivership,
or an arrangement of creditors, or which have become REO Properties. Such
reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided pursuant to
the Credit Risk Management Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager shall look solely
to the Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) and loan-level information and data relating to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The Credit Risk Manager may be removed at any time by a vote of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing at least 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates. After any such termination, the
Credit Risk Manager shall have no further obligations hereunder, and shall no
longer be entitled to the Credit Risk Manager Fee.
Section 3.23 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating
Interest.
Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account an amount ("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the
aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the
related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments in full on the
Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) the sum of the
aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Collection Period and any
Prepayment Interest Excess for the related Distribution Date. The Servicer shall
apply Compensating Interest to offset any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
resulting from Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the
Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be
included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next
Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating
Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls resulting from partial
Principal Prepayments or Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
Section 3.24 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage
Interest Rates and Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Interest Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made
by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of
notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and
any successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.24 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.
Section 3.25 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining
the Collection Account and the Trustee may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.25, each an
"Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or
more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the
obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised by
the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee. All such Eligible Investments shall
be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an
Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or the Servicer, as
applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account) over each such
investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its
agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to
such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit
in an Investment Account are at any time invested in an Eligible Investment
payable on demand, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicer:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the
last day such Eligible Investment may otherwise mature
hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee that such Eligible Investment would not
constitute an Eligible Investment in respect of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account or (to the extent funds in the Escrow Account
are invested if permitted by applicable law) the Escrow Account, as applicable,
from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
Eligible Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization
of such loss. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any loss
incurred on Eligible Investments in the Distribution Account.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v),
upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or Holders of Certificates representing
more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any
insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment
loss on any Eligible Investment included therein (except to the extent that the
Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).
Section 3.26 Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
(a) Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer
(except the Trustee if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder)
indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trust
Fund harmless against any and all third party claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to
perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the
Servicing Standard, including, but not limited to the Servicer's obligation to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants' letter or other
material required to comply with Regulation AB or (b) any material breach by the
Servicer or any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04.
The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs,
fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the
Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection
therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and/or the Trust Fund in respect of
such claim. The provisions of this Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer, or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer
or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made by
such party herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer for
a breach of the Servicing Standard and/or this Agreement, or against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful
misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or
by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties
hereunder.
The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer,
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is
properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any
matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the NIMS
Insurer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to
this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its
respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a
representation or warranty made by such party hereunder or (in the case of the
Servicer) a breach of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its
respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective
obligations or duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, nor
the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this
Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer may in
their discretion undertake any action related to their obligations hereunder
which they may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and
the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. The Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses,
costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or
arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
Section 3.27 Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Properties.
Beginning in 2006, the Servicer shall file the reports of
foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J
of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service on or before the due date for any
such report. Not later than 90 days following the end of each calendar year,
beginning in 2006, the Servicer will deliver an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer certifying its compliance with this Section 3.27.
The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet
the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.
Section 3.28 Protection of Assets.
(a) Except for transactions and activities entered into in
connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the
Trust is not authorized and has no power to:
(1) borrow money or issue debt;
(2) merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell
assets; or
(3) engage in any business or activities.
(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an
involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trustee or the Trust Fund or
initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding until after the Certificates
have been paid.
Section 3.29 Limitation of Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the
Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager
or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason
of willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties
or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this
Agreement or the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement. The Credit Risk
Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Credit Risk Manager
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may
rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the Servicer
pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance
of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
Section 3.30 No Personal Solicitation.
From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it will
not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may (i)
with respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, solicit any Mortgagor 60
days prior to the later of the expiration of (a) any applicable prepayment
penalty period or (b) the applicable fixed-rate period and (ii) with respect to
each Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loan, solicit any Mortgagor 60 days prior to the later
of (a) the expiration of any applicable prepayment penalty period or (b) 24
months after its origination; provided, further, that the Servicer may solicit
any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of
mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or
verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, or
the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates which
(i) concern optional insurance products or other additional products or (ii) are
directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass
mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and
television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section,
nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited requests or
inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor. Furthermore, the
Servicer shall be permitted to include in its monthly statements to borrowers or
otherwise, statements regarding the availability of the Servicer's counseling
services with respect to refinancing mortgage loans.
Section 3.31 Periodic Filings.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Depositor to satisfy its reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act and the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate to enable the
Commission's requirements with respect to the Depositor to be met in the event
that the Commission issues additional interpretive guidelines or promulgates
rules or regulations, or in the event of any other change of law that would
require reporting arrangements or the allocation of responsibilities with
respect thereto, as described in this Section 3.31, to be conducted or allocated
in a different manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Depositor any Current Reports on Form 8-K

and shall include a copy of the Distribution Date Statement for such
Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. In addition, the Trustee shall include
under Item 1 of each Form 10-D any information required by Item 1121 of
Regulation AB to the extent relevant that is not included on the Distribution
Date Statement. Any information in addition to the Distribution Date Statement
and any other information required by Item 1121 of Regulation AB ("Additional
Form 10-D Information") shall be determined by the party preparing such
information as set forth on Exhibit R-1 hereto and the Trustee shall compile
such information pursuant to the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no
duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any
Additional Form 10-D Information, except to the extent of its obligations as set
forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-1 hereto, within five (5) calendar days
(or, solely in the case of Item 7 listed on Exhibit R-1, the greater of five (5)
calendar days or three (3) Business Days) after the related Distribution Date,
(i) the parties described on Exhibit R-1 shall be required to provide to the
Depositor and the Trustee, to the extent known by such parties, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Trustee and such party, any Additional Form 10-D Information, if applicable,
together with an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit S
hereto (an "Additional Disclosure Notification") and (ii) the Depositor will
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Information (other than with respect to
Additional Form 10-D Information provided by the Trustee). The Depositor will be
responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Information on
Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any such information
to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review. No later
than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after the related
Distribution Date, the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard
copy to immediately follow) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on
time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Trustee will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.31(e). Form 10-D requires the
registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all
reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during
the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was
required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing
requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor shall notify the Trustee in
writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution
Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the answer to
either question should be "no." Promptly (but no later than one Business Day)
after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D. Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under
this Section 3.31(b) related to the timely preparation, arrangement for
execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Section 3.31(b). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the
Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant or any
party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Trust (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission) (the "10-K Filing Deadline") commencing in
2007, the Trustee shall prepare and file a Form 10-K, in form and substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff interpretations. Each
such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent
they have been delivered to the Trustee within the applicable time frames set
forth in this Agreement: (i) a Compliance Statement for the Trustee, the
Servicer and each Additional Servicer, as described under Section 3.19, (ii)(A)
the Assessment of Compliance for each of the Servicer, the Trustee and each
Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 3.20, and (B) if the
Servicer's, the Trustee's or each Servicing Function Participant's Assessment of
Compliance described under Section 3.20 identifies any material instance of
noncompliance or is not included, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance or disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation
thereof, as the case may be, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm
Attestation Report for the Servicer, the Trustee and each Servicing Function
Participant, as described under Section 3.20, and (B) if any registered public
accounting firm Attestation Report described under Section 3.20 identifies any
material instance of noncompliance or is not included, disclosure identifying
such instance of noncompliance or disclosure that such report is not included
and an explanation thereof, as the case may be, and (iv) a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification. Any information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is
required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K Information") shall
be reported by the party responsible for preparing such information as set forth
on Exhibit R-2 hereto and the Trustee shall compile such information pursuant to
the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Information,
except to the extent of its obligations as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-2 hereto, no later than March 1st of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in 2007 (i) the parties described in Exhibit R-2 shall be required to
provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable
parties, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trustee and such party, any Additional Form 10-K Information, if
applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Information (other than with
respect to Additional Form 10-K Information provided by the Trustee). The
Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K
Information on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any
such information to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review. No later
than the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing
Deadline, a senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization shall
sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K
to the Trustee. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth
in Section 3.31(e). Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking
"yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for
such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and
(2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The
Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than March 15 with
respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to either question
should be "no." Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with
the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-K. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that
the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 3.31(c) relating
to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such
parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Section 3.31, Section 3.19 and Section 3.20. The Trustee shall have no liability
for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any
failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such
failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on
a timely basis, any information from any party hereto or any Servicing Function
Participant (other than the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit O (the "Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification"), which shall
be signed by a senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. The
Depositor shall deliver the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification to the Trustee four (4)
Business Days prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely
filed.
For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer shall provide, and shall cause
any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide, to the Depositor,
on or before March 15th of each year, commencing in March 2007, and otherwise
within a reasonable time upon request, a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit P-1, in the case of the Trustee, and Exhibit P-2, in the case
of the Servicer. In the event the Trustee or the Servicer is terminated or
resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Trustee or Servicer shall
provide a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P-1, in the case
of the Trustee, or Exhibit P-2, in the case of the Servicer, with respect to the
period of time it was subject to this Agreement. In the event that prior to the
filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the Trustee or the Servicer
has actual knowledge of information material to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification, that party shall promptly notify the Depositor and each of the
other parties signing the certifications.
In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and their officers, directors and
Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon (A) any inaccuracy in the Assessment
of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria pursuant to Section 3.20 provided by
the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Trustee and
(B) any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 3.31(c), and (C) any breach by the Trustee of its obligations (or of the
obligations of any Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Trustee)
under Sections 3.20 and 3.31 or the Trustee's or such Servicing Function
Participant's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith and (ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Sponsor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (A) any inaccuracy in
the Assessment of Compliance with the Servicing Criteria pursuant to Section
3.20 provided by the Servicer or any Servicing Function Participant appointed by
the Servicer, (B) any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.31(c), and (C) any breach by the Servicer of its
obligations (or of the obligations of any Servicing Function Participant
appointed by the Servicer) under Sections 3.20 and 3.31 or the Servicer's or
such Servicing Function Participant's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Sponsor and their officers, directors and Affiliates, then the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party and any of their officers, directors or Affiliates as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified party,
any of their officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and each of
their officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the indemnified
party on the other in connection with a breach of the indemnifying party's
obligations under this Section 3.31(c) or Section 3.20 or the indemnifying
party's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The
Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor and the Trustee are
relying on the Servicer's performance of its obligations under Sections 3.19,
3.20 and 3.31 in order to perform their respective obligations under this
Section 3.31.
(d) Within four (4) Business Days (or, in the case of any
information disclosed pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, within the time period
required by Regulation FD) after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and also if requested by
the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any
Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall
file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
Any information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to
be included on Form 8-K other than the initial Form 8-K (such information, "Form
8-K Information") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Trustee by the
parties set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto and compiled by the Trustee pursuant to
the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Information or any Form
8-K, except to the extent of its obligations as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than 12:00 noon EST
on the second Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the
parties described in Exhibit R-3 shall be required to provide to the Depositor
and the Trustee, to the extent known by such applicable parties, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Trustee and such party, any Form 8-K Information, if applicable, together with
an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to
form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 8-K Information (other than with respect to Additional Form 8-K
Information provided by the Trustee). The Depositor will be responsible for all
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection
with including any Form 8-K Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph,
including converting any such information to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 8-K, no later than 10:00 A.M. EST on the
third Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review,
verification and execution by the Depositor. No later than 12:00 noon EST on the
fourth Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor
shall sign the Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form
8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Trustee. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the
Commission, the Trustee will, make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by it. If a Form 8-K cannot be
filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee
will follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.31(e). The parties hereto
acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section
3.31(d) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent
upon the parties to this Agreement and any other Person obligated to provide
Form 8-K Information as set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto, observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section
3.31(d). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information
from any party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant (other than the
Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Trustee) needed to
prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(e) In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required information was either
not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee will immediately notify the
Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the Depositor, Servicer and
Trustee will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b 25 pursuant to Rule 12b 25
of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of
all required Form 8-K Information and upon the approval and at the direction of
the Depositor, either include such Form 8-K Information in a Form 8-K and file
such Form 8-K or include such Form 8-K Information on the next Form 10-D. Within
5 calendar days following the original due date of the Form 10-D, the Trustee
shall prepare and file the related Form 10-D. Within 15 calendar days following
the original due date of the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall prepare and file the
related Form 10-K. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or
Form 10-K needs to be amended, the party to this Agreement deciding that an
amendment to such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is required will notify the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer and such parties will cooperate to
prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A. Any Form 12b-25 or
any amendment to Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by a senior officer of
the Depositor. Any amendment to Form 8-K or any Form 15 (as described in Section
3.31(g)) shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor and
Servicer acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under
this Section 3.31(e) related to the timely preparation and filing of a Form
12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon
the Servicer and the Depositor performing their duties under this Section. The
Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out
of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any
such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where
such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto (other
than the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Trustee)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(f) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall promptly
deliver or otherwise make available to the Depositor a copy of any such executed
report, statement or information.
(g) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is
obligated to file reports on Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K. Unless otherwise instructed
by the Depositor, on or prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Trustee is permitted to do so under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and other
applicable law and regulations, the Trustee shall prepare (and the Depositor
shall execute) and file with the Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification
with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the Depositor. If at the beginning of
any year after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of
Certificateholders of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would
cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, the Trustee shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form
8-K, 10-D and 10-K as required pursuant to this Section and the parties hereto
will again have the obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this
Section until such time as the Trustee is again able to file with the Commission
a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
(h) The Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee of any proceedings of the type described in Item 1117
of Regulation AB, together with a description thereof, within five Business Days
of any such party's knowledge thereof. In addition, the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of any affiliations
or relationships that develop following the Closing Date between the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Servicer and any of parties listed in Item 1119 of Regulation
AB, together with a description thereof, within five Business Days of any such
party's knowledge thereof.
(i) The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall reasonably
cooperate to enable the Commission's requirements with respect to the Trust to
be met in the event that the Commission issues additional interpretive
guidelines or promulgates rules or regulations, or in the event of any other
change of law that would require reporting arrangements or the allocation of
responsibilities with respect thereto, as described in this Section 3.31, to be
conducted or allocated in a different manner.
Section 3.32 Optional Purchase of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The NIMS Insurer, if there is a NIMS Insurer, or if there is no
NIMS Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders and, if such holder is
the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller, the Servicer (any such party, the
"Purchasing Party") may, subject to paragraph (b) below, at its option, purchase
a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which becomes 90 or more days Delinquent or for
which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.32, the Servicer shall be required to continue to
make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.07. No Purchasing Party shall use
any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be purchased which is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Purchasing Party shall
purchase such Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property at a price equal to the
Purchase Price. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to
this Section 3.32 shall be accomplished by delivery to the Servicer for deposit
in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The Trustee shall
immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO
Property to the Purchasing Party to the extent necessary, including the prompt
delivery of all documentation to such Purchasing Party.
(b) The Servicer shall have the right to purchase Mortgage Loans
that are 90 or more days Delinquent pursuant to Section 3.22(a) only if the
Servicer Optional Purchase Delinquency Trigger has occurred; provided, however,
that the aggregate Principal Balance of Delinquent Mortgage Loans permitted to
be purchased by the Servicer on any Distribution Date shall not exceed the
amount necessary to reduce the aggregate Principal Balance of Delinquent
Mortgage Loans remaining in the Mortgage Pool to a level such that a Servicer
Optional Purchase Delinquency Trigger would not have occurred on such
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the Servicer purchases
any Delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.32(a), it must purchase
Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent the greatest number of days before it may
purchase any that are Delinquent any fewer number of days; (B) if the Servicer
purchases some but not all Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent any given number
of days, it must purchase Mortgage Loans having the same delinquency status in
the order of lowest Principal Balance to highest Principal Balance; and (C) the
Servicer may at any time relinquish its rights to purchase Delinquent Mortgage
Loans pursuant to Section 3.32(a) in writing delivered to the Trustee, and from
and after the taking of such action by the Servicer, the provisions of Section
3.32(a) shall no longer be of any force or effect with respect to the Servicer.

with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and
reported based on the so-called "OTS" methodology for determining delinquencies
on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage
Loan would be one payment delinquent with respect to a Monthly Payment due on a
Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close of business on the
Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be two
payments delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment if such Monthly Payment
were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding
Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that this
delinquency recognition policy is its current policy and is not less restrictive
than any delinquency recognition policy established by the primary safety and

(a) On the third Business Day following each Determination Date but
in no event later than the 20th day of each month (or if such 20th day is not a
Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy (or by such other means as the
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same
date, the Servicer shall electronically forward to the Trustee in such medium as
may be agreed between the Servicer and the Trustee the information set forth in
such Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date and such
information reasonably available to the Servicer necessary in order for the
Trustee to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions and
allocations contemplated by Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 4.10 and to prepare the
Distribution Date Statement. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.07(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due
during the related Collection Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date, and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Collection Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Collection Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for such Collection Period, over
the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Loan
with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that
would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Loan.
On or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds, (ii) from the Collection
Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which
case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.07, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the
total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be
appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance
Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date
(determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance
Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the
Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 on such
Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so
used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer and NIMS
Insurer by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in
the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date
is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related
Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
earlier of such time as the Trust acquires title to the related Mortgaged
Property or such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of
by the Trust, or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any such determination by the Servicer.

paid to the Swap Provider as a Net Swap Payment on the Business Day prior to
each Distribution Date shall be deemed paid, pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof (i)
from REMIC 1 to REMIC 2, pro rata to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the
Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon, (ii) then from REMIC 2 to REMIC 3, pro
rata to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests based on Uncertificated Accrued Interest
thereon, (iii) then from REMIC 3 to REMIC 4 in respect of the Class LTIO
Interest, (iv) then from REMIC 4 to REMIC 5 in respect of the Swap IO Interest,
and (v) then from the Class CE Certificates to the Swap Provider in respect of
the Net Swap Payment due to the Swap Provider on such Distribution Date. To the
extent the payment provided for in the preceding sentence is less than the
amount due to the Swap Provider on such Distribution Date, such additional
amounts shall be deemed paid in a manner similar to the deemed payments provided
in the preceding sentence to the Holders of the Offered Certificates and the
Class B Certificates in respect of the Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined
in Section 4.09(d) below), and then shall be deemed paid to the Class CE
Certificates pursuant to the notional principal contract described in Section
4.09(d) below and then to the Swap Provider. Any amounts deemed paid by any
REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the preceding two sentences shall not be
duplicated by any payments deemed made pursuant to Section 4.08 on the
succeeding Distribution Date. Any Swap Termination Payment triggered by a Swap
Provider Trigger Event owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement will be subordinated to distributions to the Holders of the Class
A Certificates, Class B Certificates, and Class M Certificates and shall be paid
as set forth under Section 4.02(b)(xxxiv).
(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned
by the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(d) The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than
the Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) as having entered into a
notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of
Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) shall
be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of
the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Regular Interests in
REMIC 4 corresponding to such Classes of Certificates over (ii) the amount
payable on such Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess,
a "Class IO Distribution Amount"). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from
interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based
on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a
per annum rate equal to the applicable Cap, and a Class IO Distribution Amount
payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate
Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of
such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the
Holders of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay
Cap Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class
CE, Class P and Residual Certificates), in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in
respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect
to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and
Residual Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for
tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in
respect of their interests in REMIC 4 and as having been paid by such Holders to
the Trustee pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate
(other than the Class P and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as
representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC 4, but also
ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional
principal contract.
Section 4.10 Cap Carryover Reserve Account
On the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish the Cap Carryover
Reserve Account (the "Cap Carryover Reserve Account"), which account will remain
uninvested, held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Offered
Certificates and Class B Certificates. The Cap Carryover Reserve Account will be
an asset of the Trust but not of any REMIC. On each Distribution Date, Cap
Carryover Amounts available pursuant to clause (xxxiii) of Section 4.02(b) will
be deposited into the Cap Carryover Reserve Account. On such Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall withdraw such Cap Carryover Amounts on deposit and apply them,
sequentially, as follows:
first, concurrently, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-3A, Class
A-3B and Class A-3C Certificates, pro rata (based on the Cap Carryover Amount
for each such Class), any Cap Carryover Amount for such Class; and
second, sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class
M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and Class B
Certificates, any Cap Carryover Amount for such Class.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
Each of the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0X, Xxxxx X-0X, Class
A-3C, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class
M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class B, Class CE, Class P and Residual Certificates
shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on
original issue, be executed by the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by
the Certificate Registrar to or upon the receipt of a Written Order to
Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the
Trustee of the Trust Fund. Each Class of the Offered Certificates and the Class
B Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates
representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $25,000
and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class CE and Class P
Certificates are issuable in 1% Percentage Interests and multiples thereof;
provided, however, at no time shall there be more than ten (10) Certificates of
each such Class. Each Residual Certificate is issuable only as a single
certificate.
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual
or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form
provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Offered Certificates
and the Class B Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class CE,
Class P and Residual Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall
be issued in fully registered certificate form.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a Certificate Register in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve
as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee as
Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care,
limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the
provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall
apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same extent as they apply to the
Trustee. Any Certificate Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section
5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written
notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such
resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate
Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of the Residual
Certificates, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage
Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and
the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to
the Depository, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or
to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository,
if directed to do so pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as
provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of
the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights
of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of
such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository
Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on
the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights
under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on
their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee
and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto
are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository
or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a
Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of
this Agreement shall control.
(c) If the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to
locate a qualified successor. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the
Trust's expense, execute on behalf of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar
shall authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates"). None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying
Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) Except with respect to a transfer of the Private Certificates
between or among the Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both, no
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate shall be
made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the
event of any such transfer, (i) solely with respect to the Residual
Certificates, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as
evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of
Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to
the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Certificate Registrar or the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall
require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment
letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 or J-2 (in the
case of the Residual Certificates) or in the form of Exhibit J-2 (in the case of
Class B, Class CE and Class P Certificates)) acceptable to and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar
certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding
such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the
Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws. For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 5.02(d) the
representations required in any transferor certificate (substantially in the
form of Exhibit L hereto) and any investment letter (substantially in the form
of Exhibit J-2 hereto) shall be deemed to have made in connection with the
transfer of any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from
the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor (such requirement is
satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar's receipt of a representation letter
from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as
appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code or a plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law")
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer other than, except in the
case of the Class P Certificates or the Residual Certificates, an insurance
company general account that is eligible for and meets all requirements for
relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) (except in the case of the
Class P Certificates or the Residual Certificates) in the case of any such ERISA
Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee
benefit plan 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 of any such plan 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 Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Certificate Registrar to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such
representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by
the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such
Class of ERISA-Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in
form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or
on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code
or Similar Law without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion
of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be
void and of no effect.
For so long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in existence,
each beneficial owner of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted
Certificate or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by
virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate, or interest therein,
that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii) (A) it is an "accredited investor" (as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, as amended, and (B)
the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the separate right to
receive payments from the Swap Account are eligible for the exemptive relief
available under Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14
(for transactions by independent "qualified professional asset managers"), 91-38
(for transactions by bank collective investment funds), 90-1 (for transactions
by insurance company pooled separate accounts), 95-60 (for transactions by
insurance company general accounts) or 96-23 (for transactions effected by
"in-house asset managers"). If any Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted
Certificate) or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
foregoing provisions the next preceding permitted beneficial owner shall be
treated as the beneficial owner of such Certificate or interest therein,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of such Certificate or
interest therein was effected in violation of the foregoing provisions shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs
or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a
condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form
and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed
transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the
proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer
restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section, become the Holder of Residual Certificate,
then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such
Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate
Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii).
The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be
distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Disqualified Organization acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have
the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of a
Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of a Residual
Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in
connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of a Residual Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee
determines that the Holder of a Residual Certificate may be liable for any
amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as
security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and
it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the
Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections
860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax
imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual
interests to disqualified organizations. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to
whom it is provided.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of
the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of
pursuant to its standard procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the
Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent.
(a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders
from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report
the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent
may include the obligation to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Rating Agencies. The Trustee as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same
standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the
Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15
and 8.16 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the
Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.05 may at
any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of
resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor,
such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying
Agent.
ARTICLE VI
THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Servicer and the Depositor.
The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Servicer herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Depositor.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Servicer or the Depositor.
Any entity into which the Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor servicer. The Servicer and such successor or surviving Person shall
notify the Depositor and the Trustee of any such merger, conversion or
consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and
shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee with all information required by the
Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K
not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or
employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or
the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that
this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in
the event that amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed
Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer
or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any
legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of
this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be
entitled to pay such expenses from the proceeds of the Trust or to be reimbursed
therefor pursuant to Section 3.05 upon presentation to the Trustee of
documentation of such expenses, costs and liabilities. The Servicer's right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any
resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with
respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such
resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such
resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely
in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.
Section 6.04 Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material
conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it
or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so
causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or
its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a
successor servicer to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer in writing and such
proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee
and the NIMS Insurer prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating
that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the
Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect; provided, however, that
no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor
servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have
designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such
resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties.
(a) In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.16, at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder
to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such
duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section
3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and
responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior written
notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any
of the Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.
(b) The Servicer is hereby authorized, with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer, to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an
"Advance Facility") under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges to another
Person (together with such Person's successors and assigns, an "Advancing
Person") the Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund
some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify each other party
to this Agreement prior to or promptly after entering into or terminating any
Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under
which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on
the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by
this Agreement. If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long
as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any
Advances and/or Servicing Advances, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement,
then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself for Advances and/or
Servicing Advances, but instead the Servicer shall be required to remit amounts
collected that would otherwise be retained by the Servicer to reimburse it for
the amount of previously unreimbursed Advances ("Advance Reimbursements") and/or
previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances ("Servicing Advance Reimbursements"
and together with Advance Reimbursements, "Reimbursements") (in each case to the
extent such type of Reimbursements are included in the Advance Facility) in
accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such
Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an "Advance Facility
Trustee") designated by such Advancing Person. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in no event shall Advance Reimbursements or Servicing Advance
Reimbursements be included in the "Available Funds" or distributed to
Certificateholders. If the terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with
an Advancing Person by the Servicer would not materially and adversely affect
the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold
its consent to the Servicer's entering such facility.
Reimbursements shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for
which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled
to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future
distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement. None of the
Depositor or the Trustee shall have any duty or liability with respect to the
calculation or payment of any Reimbursements, nor shall the Depositor or the
Trustee have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the
Advance Facility or the payment of Reimbursements to the related Advancing
Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to
any successor servicer and (upon request) the Trustee a detailed accounting on a
loan by loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and
reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor servicer shall be entitled to
rely on any such information provided by the predecessor servicer, and the
successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the
rights to be reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose
obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a
subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require
that Reimbursements distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated
to outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be)
made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first in, first out" (FIFO) basis.
Such documentation shall also require the Servicer to provide to the related
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information with
respect to each Reimbursement distributed to such Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Reimbursement with
respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be
reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances
and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights
to be reimbursed therefor have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, any successor servicer and the Trust Fund resulting from any claim by
the related Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss,
liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or
willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor
servicer.
Any amendment to this Section 6.05(b) or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 6.05(b), including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, provided such
amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be
borne solely by the Servicer. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the
Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility in writing that: (a) the
Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to the lender are
obligations owed to the Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from the
cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the
Trustee and the Trust are not otherwise obligated or liable to repay any
Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the lender; (b) the Servicer will
be responsible for remitting to the lender the applicable amounts collected by
it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the lender,
subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement; and (c)
the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and the lender.
If the Servicer determines any such affiliate or third party vendor
would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the
Servicer shall not engage such affiliate or third party vendor unless it
provides the Trustee and the Depositor the information required by Section
1108(b) and 1108(c) of Regulation AB prior to such engagement.
In the event of any assignment of rights or delegation of duties of
the Servicer, the Trustee shall report such event on Form 8-K within four
Business Days after the effective date thereof provided that the Servicer
provides notice of such occurrence to the Trustee within 2 days of such
effective date.

DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Servicer Events of Termination.
(a) If any one of the following events ("Servicer Events of
Termination") shall occur and be continuing:
(i) (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance or to pay
Compensating Interest; or (B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit
in the Collection Account or remit to the Trustee for deposit in the

period of 30 days, after the date (A) on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer or by any Holder of a Regular
Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) actual
knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or
(iii) The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a court
or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any

winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such
decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar
person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order
of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or

liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged,
unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or

creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
(v) As of any Distribution Date, if the average for the related
Collection Period and the two preceding Collection Periods of the
fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is (a) the
aggregate Principal Balance of 60+ Day Delinquent Loans and the
denominator of which is (b) the aggregate Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans, in the case of both (a) and (b), as of the last day of
each such Collection Period, exceeds 18%; or
(vi) The failure of the Servicer to comply with Sections 3.19, 3.20
or 3.31 hereof (including with respect to any Additional Servicer,
Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by the Servicer) (without any regard
to any cure period).
(b) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer
Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace
period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not
made by 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the
Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Trustee, or a successor
servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such
Advance and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor servicer
and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the
Trustee shall, at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or Holders of each Class of
Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
51%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the
Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor. On or after the receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such
notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to and under this Section or successor servicer appointed in connection
with Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee or successor servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and Related
Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or
the applicable successor servicer) in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the delivery to the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer)
of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the
Servicer's functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to
such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to
the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be
deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any
Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or
thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any
REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring
the servicing to the successor servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect
such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the
predecessor servicer (or if the predecessor servicer is the Trustee, the initial
servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay
such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Trustee
(in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust).
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances properly made prior to the date of termination.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if
notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer as is
approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer) shall
be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the
above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor servicer or (ii) if
the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any
such successor servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are
in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies and that, in the case of a successor servicer appointed by
the Trustee, such successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the NIMS
Insurer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless
the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of
payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the
Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other
compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the
Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the
servicing to the successor servicer, including costs and expenses of the
Trustee. The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability
of the predecessor servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to
its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy
pursuant to Section 3.11 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26
pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor servicer be liable for
any acts or omissions of the predecessor servicer or for any breach by such
servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any
related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a
Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.
(c) The predecessor Servicer and successor Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and Trustee of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior
to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee
with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such
appointment.
Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the
Voting Rights allocated to the Classes of Certificates affected by a Servicer
Event of Termination may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, and with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer
as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that such Holders
may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate and the NIMS Insurer. Upon
any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer
Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to
the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) On any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer
pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency.
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a
Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer and all Certificateholders notice of
such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have
been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly
after any such occurrence.
Section 7.05 Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of
the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to
such termination shall survive such termination.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Servicer, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer or the Depositor
hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material
respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so
requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge,
and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination which may
have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
or investigating the facts related thereto;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Majority
Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising or
omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under
this Agreement; and
(iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure
by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to
in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of
Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee
receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders. In the absence of such receipt
of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no
Servicer Event of Termination.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording,
filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B)
to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
(b) Upon its receipt from the Sponsor of the "significance estimate"
of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement provided in accordance with the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall, on the basis of each such
"significance estimate," calculate the Interest Rate Swap Agreement's
"significance percentage" of the Pool Balance as of the date of such
"significance estimate" in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB. For the
avoidance of doubt, such "significance percentage" shall be a fraction,
expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is such "significance
estimate" and the denominator of which is the Pool Balance. Further, the Trustee
shall determine as of such date whether such "significance percentage" would
require disclosure of financial information with respect to the Swap Provider in
any report required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 3.31,
and if it does, the Trustee shall make a written request of the Swap Provider
for such information in accordance with the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, not
later than the Business Day following the Business Day on which it receives the
related "significance estimate." Upon its receipt of such information, the
Trustee shall furnish such information to the Depositor and, if such information
is approved by the Depositor, shall include such information in the related
report as provided in Section 3.31. In the event the Trustee does not timely
receive such information it shall promptly notify the Depositor.
With respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of
its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap
Provider of any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or the termination of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Trustee shall send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of
the Trust, as are required under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Trustee
shall cause any replacement swap provider to provide a copy of the related
replacement interest rate swap agreement to the Trustee and the Depositor.
Upon the occurrence of a Swap Early Termination (i) to the extent
that the Trustee receives a Swap Termination Payment from the Swap Provider, if
the Trustee acquires a replacement interest rate swap agreement, the Trustee
shall apply all or a portion of such Swap Termination Payment as may be
necessary to acquire a replacement swap provider under the replacement interest
rate swap agreement prior to distribution of such Swap Termination Payment in
accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement and (ii) to the
extent that a Swap Termination Payment is owed to the Swap Provider, if the
Trustee acquires a replacement interest rate swap agreement, the Trustee shall
apply all or a portion of the amount received from any replacement swap provider
under a replacement interest rate swap agreement to pay the Swap Termination
Payment owed to the Swap Provider.
(c) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8.01(c), the
Trustee is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of
its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall promptly upon request provide to
the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the
Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the
Trustee, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor that is a
Servicing Function Participant and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria
will be addressed in Assessments of Compliance provided by each Servicing
Function Participant. As a condition to the utilization by the Trustee of any
Servicing Function Participant, the Trustee shall cause any such Servicing
Function Participant for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Sections 3.20 and 3.31 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
such Servicing Function Participant were the Trustee. The Trustee shall be
responsible for obtaining from each such Servicing Function Participant and
delivering to the applicable Persons any Assessment of Compliance and related
Attestation Report required to be delivered by such Servicing Function
Participant under Section 3.31, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee engages a
Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall be responsible for determining whether such
Subcontractor is an Additional Servicer.
The Trustee shall indemnify the Depositor and the Sponsor and any of
their directors, officers, employees or agents and hold them harmless against
any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to a breach of the
Trustee's obligation set forth in Section 8.01(b) or 8.01(c).
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the
request, order or direction of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the
Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
any such act;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and
after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have
occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by
the Majority Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer; provided, however,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or
liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of
every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the
Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this
clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe
any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, have any liability or
make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02;
(vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by it with due care; and
(viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than
the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or Related Document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds
paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall not at
any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the
legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or
the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders
under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition
and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any
hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness
of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02); the compliance by the Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or
representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the
accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt
of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach
thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any
loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain
responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity;
the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor;
any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the Trustee; the
failure of the Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of
the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of
the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this
Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the
Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
Section 8.05 Trustee Compensation and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be entitled to investment income from amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account as compensation for its services hereunder.
The Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders
or the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents shall be indemnified by the Trust from, and held harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance
of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. This Section shall survive termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state
thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term
debt rating of BBB by Fitch and a long term debt rating of at least "Baa1" or
better by Xxxxx'x and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and
surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal
office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with
respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the
time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be
a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer,
the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee reasonably
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, or if at any time the
Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of their property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of their
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee. If
the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer removes the Trustee under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, as the case
may be, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee (reasonably acceptable to the
NIMS Insurer if appointed by the Depositor) by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor Trustee.
In addition, if (a) the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations
to deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Reports required pursuant
to Section 3.20 or (b) any Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Trustee
fails to comply with its obligations to deliver any Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Reports, the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the
successor trustee.
The Majority Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer may at any time
remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the
Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee; the Depositor shall
thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee reasonably
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer in accordance with this Section.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Rating
Agencies, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of
a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
The predecessor Trustee and successor Trustee shall notify the
Depositor of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior to the
effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor with all information
required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Trustee and such surviving
Person shall notify the Depositor of any such merger, conversion or
consolidation and shall provide the Depositor with all information required by
the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form
8-K not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or
consolidation.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject
to the written approval of the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Servicer
and the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event
of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
(it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee
except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination,
the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.
Section 8.11 Limitation of Liability.
The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings
and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and
intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
Section 8.12 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates.
(a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The Trustee shall afford the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties
hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such
duties. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer,
the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review
and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books,
documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee's duties
hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action
or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 8.13 Suits for Enforcement.
In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the
Servicer hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under
this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in
this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement
or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
Section 8.14 Waiver of Bond Requirement.
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any
court, agency or body whatsoever.
Section 8.15 Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement.
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.
ARTICLE IX
REMIC AND GRANTOR TRUST ADMINISTRATION

each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3, REMIC 4 and REMIC 5 as set forth in the
Preliminary Statement on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Certificates are issued. In addition, the Trustee shall
request a taxpayer identification number on IRS Form SS-4 or any other
acceptable method for each such REMIC or other tax entity formed under this
Agreement and file Form 8811, or other applicable form, within 30 days of the
Closing Date (or such other period as may be allowed by applicable law),
indicating the name, title, address and telephone number of the Person who will
serve as the representative of each REMIC. The regular interests and residual
interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional
fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings
with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall
be entitled to reimbursement of expenses other than those expenses described in
clause (i) or (ii) above from the Trust.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file
or cause to be filed, each REMIC's federal and state tax and information returns
as such REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such
returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
(e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate shall be the "tax matters
person" as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with
respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4. The Holder of the
Class R-X Certificate shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 5.
The Trustee is irrevocably designated as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and
agent for each such Tax Matters Person. The Trustee, as agent for each such Tax
Matters Person, shall perform, on behalf of each REMIC, all reporting and other
tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code,
the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties,
if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Trustee, as agent for each such Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the
Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) The Trustee, the Servicer, and the Holders of Certificates shall
take any action or cause any REMIC formed under this Agreement to take any
action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Holder of a
Residual Certificate shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under this
Agreement to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition,
prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC formed under this Agreement
or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not
expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual
Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer, or
their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action
could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such REMIC, and no
such Person shall take any such action or cause such REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer has advised it
in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) The Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on any REMIC formed under this Agreement by federal or state
governmental authorities, but only from amounts, if any, distributable thereon.
To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of future
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of a Residual Certificate or, if
no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of the REMIC
Regular Interests or the Certificates, as the case may be.
(h) The Trustee, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or
cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each REMIC formed under
this Agreement on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any
REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
(k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, beginning in 2007,
the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer an
Officer's Certificate stating the Trustee's compliance with the provisions of
this Section 9.01.
Section 9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition
pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the
Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC pursuant to Article X of this
Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, (v) a
repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (vi) an
optional purchase pursuant to Section 3.32, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC
constituting part of the Trust Fund, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC
constituting part of the Trust Fund after the Closing Date, unless such party
and the NIMS Insurer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition,
acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the
status of such REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than a
Residual Certificate as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause such REMIC to be
subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss
of REMIC Status.
In the event that any REMIC formed hereunder fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of a
Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or
inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of a Residual Certificate,
as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of a Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the Holder of a Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
Section 9.04 REO Property.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall not
rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any
REO Property which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure" property within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless
the Servicer has advised, or has caused the applicable Servicer to advise, the
Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action
would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income
generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition
of a tax upon such REMIC.
(b) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to sell any REO
Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Servicer shall
dispose of any REO Property before the close of the third calendar year
beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed
legislation and under applicable state law, any REMIC constituting part of the
Trust Fund may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting
its REMIC status or causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon any
REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund. If the Servicer has received such an
extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property
for its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer for such
longer period as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer
has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO
Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the
Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the
REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the applicable period,
(i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair

ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer,
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other
than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to
Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the
Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which
the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced
to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
in the Trust, and (iii) the optional purchase by the NIMS Insurer, or if there
is no NIMS Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders, or if such holder
is the Seller, or an affiliate of the Seller, the Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof.
The NIMS Insurer, or if there is no NIMS Insurer, the Majority Class
CE Certificateholders, or if such holder is the Seller or an affiliate of the
Seller, the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans may, at its option, terminate the
Trust Fund and retire the Certificates on the Distribution Date following the
Distribution Date upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is less than 10%
of the aggregate Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date by
purchasing all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust
Fund at a price equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans and except to the extent previously advanced by the Servicer,
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage
Interest Rates through the end of the Collection Period preceding the final
Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances and any unpaid
Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans, (ii) the fair market value of
the REO Properties as determined in good faith by the Servicer and (iii) any
Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider
Trigger Event pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "Termination
Price"). If the NIMS Insurer or the Majority Class CE Certificateholders or, if
the Majority Class CE Certificateholder is the Seller or an affiliate of the
Seller, the Servicer, is subject to regulation by the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal
Reserve or the Office of Thrift Supervision, however, the option may not be
exercised unless the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties is greater than or equal to the Termination Price. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no party may exercise this optional purchase right unless any
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof has been
paid.
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less
amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07),
which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following such
purchase.
Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery on the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price to the
Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the NIMS
Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders or the Servicer, as
applicable, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later
than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of
the Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution
and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. Not
less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Determination Date relating to
such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the Originator and the Seller
of the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02 for
such Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, promptly following such date, cause all
funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, a Residual Certificateholder shall be entitled to
all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto (except with
respect to the Class CE and Class P Certificates) and the Trustee upon transfer
of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and all
other Certificateholders shall look to a Residual Certificateholder for payment.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the NIMS Insurer, the Majority Class CE
Certificateholders or the Servicer, as applicable, exercise its purchase option
as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust
to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates (other than
the Class P Certificates) are outstanding:
(i) The Trustee shall designate a date within 90 days prior to the
final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans of complete
liquidation of each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3, REMIC 4 and REMIC 5 and
shall specify such date in the final federal income tax return of each
REMIC;
(ii) After the date of adoption of such plans of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Majority Class CE
Certificateholders or the Servicer, as applicable, for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited in the order of priority set forth in Section 4.02
and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, all cash on hand in
respect of the REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4, or to the Holders of
the Class R-X Certificates, all cash on hand in respect of the REMIC 5,
after such payment (other than cash retained to meet claims) and the Trust
shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) designate such
date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to take such other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such
plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Trustee; with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and without
the consent of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake,
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein or the Prospectus Supplement, (iii)
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, (iv) to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code, (v) to
conform the obligations of the parties under this Agreement, or to add
obligations of the parties to this Agreement, if necessary, to comply with the
requirements of Regulation AB or (vi) to provide for the rights of the NIMS
Insurer; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (iii) above
shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, as evidenced by (i) notice in writing to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, or (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee.
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer
and the Majority Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Swap Provider or the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the
Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates or the Swap
Provider in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66 2/3%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of
Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of
all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment,
a copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies. Prior to the
execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person
seeking such amendment) stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
neither the Trustee nor the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered
by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that
such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC
constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause
any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates) are
outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms
hereof.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01,
none of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any
amendment to Sections 4.01, 4.02 or 4.09 of this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Swap Provider.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer
and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject
to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in
all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i)
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood
and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A

herein.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights
identified 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of

Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below

the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement, subject to certain conditions set forth in Article X of the
Agreement, to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at the Termination Price on the
Optional Termination Date. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be

state laws.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the

entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Certificate Registrar
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately
prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class P
Certificates, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register, provided that the Certificate Registrar may deduct a
reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be
made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Asset Backed Funding Corporation Asset-Backed Certificates of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and
representing the Percentage Interest specified on the face hereof.
The Class P Certificates are limited in right of payment to

Payment Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights
identified 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the

Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below

the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration
or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each
execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement
certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or
(ii) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,
that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective
capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein may be made to
employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any materially similar
provisions of applicable federal, state or local law (collectively, "Plans") or
any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the Certificate or interest
therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a
Plan.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement, subject to certain conditions set forth in Article X of the
Agreement, to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at the Termination Price on the
Optional Termination Date. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

Register, provided that the Certificate Registrar may deduct a reasonable wire
transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above,
the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Asset Backed Funding Corporation Asset-Backed Certificates of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and
representing the Percentage Interest specified on the face hereof.
The Class R-X Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights
identified 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the
Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration
or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each
execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement
certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or
(ii) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,
that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective
capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest therein may be made
to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any materially similar
provisions of applicable federal, state or local law (collectively, "Plans") or
any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the Certificate or interest
therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a
Plan.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of
the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel
of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
to cease to qualify as five separate REMICs or cause the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement, subject to certain conditions set forth in Article X of the
Agreement, to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at the Termination Price on the
Optional Termination Date. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the

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 a
Disqualified Organization 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 not a Disqualified Organization and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false.
(For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment
company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in
Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a
nominee for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of

restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the

to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth in this Exhibit L to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate")
to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is ____________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. That the Transferee will not cause income from the [Class
R][Class R-X] Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent
establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax
treaty, of the Transferee or any other person.
12. That, if the Transferee is purchasing the [Class R][Class R-X]
Certificate in a transfer intended to meet the safe harbor provisions of
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c), the Transferee has executed and
attached Attachment A hereto.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan or
arrangement subject to any materially similar provisions of applicable federal,
state or local law, nor are we acting on behalf of such a plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
