This
TRUST AGREEMENT (“Trust Agreement”), dated as of February 1, 2006 (the
“Agreement”), is by and among STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC,
as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, and at the Closing
Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed
by
it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing
Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund as
consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and
the
other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized
the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance
to
the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan
Sale
Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee herein
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund
are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates and
to
the extent provided herein, the Swap Counterparty. The Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is
accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of
(i)
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (ii) the Class X Account, (iii) the Swap Agreement,
(iv) the Supplemental Interest Trust (v) the obligation to pay Class I
Shortfalls, and (vi) the rights to receive (and the obligations to pay) Basis
Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls (collectively, the “Excluded
Trust Assets”) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four
real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”): Pooling REMIC 1,
Lower-Tier REMIC 1, Middle-Tier REMIC 1, and Upper-Tier REMIC 1.
Pooling
REMIC 1 shall hold the assets of the Trust Fund, other than any Excluded Trust
Assets, and shall issue several uncertificated interests and shall also issue
the Class LT-R Certificate, which is hereby designated as the sole residual
interest in Pooling REMIC 1. Each uncertificated interest in Pooling REMIC
1 is
hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest.
Lower-Tier
REMIC 1 shall hold the uncertificated interests issued by Pooling REMIC 1 and
shall issue several uncertificated interests. Each such interest, other than
the
LT1-R Interest, is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest. The LT1-R
Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest in Lower-Tier REMIC
1.
Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 shall hold the uncertificated interests issued by Lower-Tier REMIC
1,
other than the LT1-R Interest, and shall issue several uncertificated interests.
Each such interest, other than the Class MT1-R Interest, is hereby designated
as
a REMIC regular interest. The Class MT1-R Interest is hereby designated as
the
sole residual interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.
Upper-Tier
REMIC 1 shall hold the uncertificated interests issued by Middle-Tier REMIC
1,
other than the Class MT1-R Interest. Each of the Offered Certificates represent
ownership of regular interests in Upper-Tier REMIC 1. Each of the Offered
Certificates also represent (i) the right to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls
or
Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls.
For federal income tax purposes, the Class X Certificates represent ownership
of
regular interests in Upper-Tier REMIC 1 and also represent the obligation to
make payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk
Shortfalls to the Offered Certificates and beneficial ownership of the Basis
Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Class P Certificates
represent ownership of regular interests in Upper-Tier REMIC 1. The Class R
Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in
Upper-Tier REMIC 1 as well as ownership of the LT1-R and Class MT1-R
Interests.
Pooling
REMIC 1
Pooling
REMIC 1 shall issue one uncertificated interest in respect of each Mortgage
Loan
held by the Trust on the Closing Date, each of which is hereby designated as
a
regular interest in Pooling REMIC 1 (the “Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests”).
Pooling REMIC 1 shall also issue the Class LT-R Certificate, which shall
represent the sole class of residual interest in Pooling REMIC 1. Each Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan to which it relates and shall
bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of such
Mortgage Loan. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted
for such Mortgage Loan (the “Original Mortgage Loan”), no amount of interest
payable on such Qualified Mortgage Loan shall be distributed on such Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interest at a rate in excess of the Net Mortgage Rate of the
Original Mortgage Loan.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of
Pooling REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund (other than any expenses with
respect to the Swap Agreement) that are deducted in computing the Interest
Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date.
On
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance
Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect
to
each of the Lower-Tier Interests in Pooling REMIC 1 based on the above-described
interest rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal
Remittance Amount among the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests in accordance
with
the amount of the Principal Remittance Amount attributable to the Mortgage
Loan
corresponding to each such Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interest. All losses on
the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interest
in
the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums
collected during the preceding Prepayment Period, in the case of Principal
Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of
Principal Prepayments in part, to the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interest
corresponding to the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such amounts were
received.

Lower-Tier
REMIC 1
The
following table sets forth (or describes) the designation, interest rate, and
initial principal balance for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1, each of
which, other than the LT1-R Lower-Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a
regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular
Interests):

Remittance Amount with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Interests, first to
the
LT1-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then
sequentially, to the other Lower-Tier Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 in
ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair
of Lower-Tier Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts
to each such Lower-Tier Interest, until the principal balance of each is reduced
to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the
Lower-Tier Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal
distributions are allocated.
On

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for each of these Interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 is a per annum
rate
equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower-Tier
Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 for such Distribution Date, provided,
however, that
for any Distribution Date on which the Class MT1-IO Interest is entitled
to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower-Tier Interest in
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 having an “F” in its class designation, as described in
footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first
subjecting the rate on such Lower-Tier Interest in REMIC 1 to a cap
equal
to Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.
|

The
Class MT1-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal
balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column
in
the table below, the Class MT1-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued
on
the Lower-Tier Interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 listed in second column
in
the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any,
of (i)
the interest rate for such Lower-Tier Interest in Lower-Tier REMIC
1 for
such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution
Date.

On
each
Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Lower-Tier Interests
in
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 based on the above-described interest rates,
provided,
however,
that
interest that accrues on the Class MT1-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount
equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount
for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest
at the interest rate for the Class MT1-Q Interest. An amount equal to the
interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other
interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 having a principal balance in the manner
described under priority (a) below.
On
each
Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall
be
allocated, among the interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 in the following order
of
priority:
(a)
First, to the Class MT1-A1, Class MT1-A2, Class MT1-A3, Class MT1-M1, Class
MT1-M2, Class MT1-M3, Class MT1-M4, Class MT1-M5, Class MT1-M6 and Class MT1-M7
Interests until the principal balance of each such interest equals one-half
of
the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates
immediately after such Distribution Date; and
(b)
Second, to the Class MT1-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to have distributed the
Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the LT1-F36 and LT1-V36
Lower-Tier Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 on such Distribution Date to the
Class MT1-Q Interest.

The
Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and
the
related Accrual Period) for the Class A1 Certificates is the per
annum
rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 0.230% (the “A1 Margin”) and
(ii) the Net Funds Cap for such Distribution Date;
provided,
that if the Mortgage Loans and related property are not purchased
pursuant
to Section 7.01(b) on the Initial Optional Termination Date, then
with
respect to each subsequent Distribution Date the per annum rate calculated
pursuant to clause (i) above with respect to the Class A1 Certificates
will be LIBOR plus 0.460%. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
the
reference to “Net Funds Cap” in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC 1 Net Funds Cap. For
any
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate for the
Cass A1
Certificates is based on the Net Funds Cap, the amount of interest
that
would have been payable on such Certificates if the REMIC 1 Net Funds
Cap
were substituted for the Net Funds Cap over the amount actually payable
thereon shall be treated as having been paid to the owners of the
Class A1
Certificates and then deposited by such owners into the Supplemental
Interest Trust pursuant to Section 10.01(n) hereof.

The
Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and
the
related Accrual Period) for the Class A2 Certificates is the per
annum
rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 0.190% (the “A2 Margin”) and
(ii) the Net Funds Cap for such Distribution Date; provided,
that if the Mortgage Loans and related property are not purchased
pursuant
to Section 7.01(b) on the Initial Optional Termination Date, then
with
respect to each subsequent Distribution Date the per annum rate calculated
pursuant to clause (i) above with respect to the Class A2 Certificates
will be LIBOR plus 0.380%. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
the
reference to “Net Funds Cap” in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC 1 Net Funds Cap. For
any
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate for the
Cass A2
Certificates is based on the Net Funds Cap, the amount of interest

for one-month United States dollar deposits, as such rates appear on the
Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination
Date.
28
If
on
such a LIBOR Determination Date, the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate does not
appear on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), or if the
Telerate Page 3750 is not available on such date, the Trustee will obtain such
rate from Reuters’ “page LIBOR 01” or Bloomberg’s page “BBAM.” If such rate is
not published for such LIBOR Determination Date, LIBOR for such date will be
the
most recently published Interest Settlement Rate. In the event that the BBA
no
longer sets an Interest Settlement Rate, the Trustee will designate an
alternative index that has performed, or that the Trustee expects to perform,
in
a manner substantially similar to the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate. The
Trustee will select a particular index as the alternative index only if it
receives an Opinion of Counsel (a copy of which shall be furnished to any NIMS
Insurer), which opinion shall be an expense reimbursed from the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 4.04, that the selection of such index will not
cause any of the REMICs to lose their classification as REMICs for federal
income tax purposes.
The
establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation
of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for the
relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and
binding.

without recourse, subject to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05 and 2.06, in trust,
all
the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans.
Such conveyance includes, without limitation, the right to all payments of
principal and interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on
and
after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on
or

to such date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such
date together with all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to

Mortgage Loans, the Depositor’s security interest in any collateral pledged to
secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties, and any proceeds
of the foregoing, to have and to hold (or a Custodian on its behalf), in trust;
and the Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section
2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Fund, as trustee, in trust,
for
the benefit and use of the Holders and for the purposes and subject to the
terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt,
has caused to be executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of
the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Fund, Certificates in the authorized
denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
50
Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Swap Agreement shall be delivered
to
the Trustee. In connection therewith, the Depositor hereby authorizes and
directs the Trustee (solely in its capacity as such) to execute and deliver
the
Swap Agreement (on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust), in trust for
the
benefit of the Offered Certificateholders. The Seller, the Master Servicer,
the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Offered Certificateholders (by their acceptance
of such Certificates) acknowledge and agree that the Trustee is executing and
delivering the Swap Agreement solely in its capacity as Trustee of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, and not in its individual capacity. The Depositor
hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to represent in the Swap Agreement
that it is not required by any applicable law of any relevant jurisdiction
to
make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax from Net Swap
Payment. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to enter into any
other interest rate swap agreement upon the expiration or termination of the
Swap Agreement.
Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby
assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan
Sale Agreement, including all rights of the Seller under each related Servicing
Agreement and each related Transfer Agreement (other than first payment date
default or early payment date default rights against the related Transferor)
but, in each case, only to the extent assigned under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment and delegation, and shall
be entitled to exercise all the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage
Loan
Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing
sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit, delegation and conveyance does
not and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by the Trustee
of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection
with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto
except as specifically set forth therein.
(b) In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the
Trustee, and/or the applicable Custodian acting on the Trustee’s behalf, the
following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each
a
“Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:
(i) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note endorsed without
recourse in proper form to the order of the Trustee, as shown on Exhibit B-4

recorded power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon. If, in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage
or
power of attorney with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing
Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such
Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage or power
of
attorney has been lost, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian), in the case of a delay due to
recording, a true copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney, pending delivery
of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor
certifying that the copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney delivered to
the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) is a true copy and that the original

office, or, in the case of a Mortgage or power of attorney that has been lost,
a
copy thereof (certified as provided for under the laws of the appropriate
jurisdiction) and a written Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and
the
Depositor that an original recorded Mortgage or power of attorney is not
required to enforce the Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loan;
(iv) the
original of each assumption, modification or substitution agreement, if any,
relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as to any assumption, modification or
substitution agreement which cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing
Date
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such assumption,
modification or substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation,
a
photocopy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement, pending
delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the
Depositor certifying that the copy of such assumption, modification or
substitution agreement delivered to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian)

respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, an original Assignment of Mortgage,

form and substance acceptable for recording. The related Mortgage shall be
assigned either (A) in blank, without recourse or (B) to “U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
XS
Trust
Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-3,” without recourse;
(vi) if
applicable, such original intervening assignments of the Mortgage, notice of
transfer or equivalent instrument (each, an “Intervening Assignment”), as may be
necessary to show a complete chain of assignment from the originator, or, in
the
case of an Intervening Assignment that has been lost, a written Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee that such original Intervening Assignment
is
not required to enforce the Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage
Loans;
(vii) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the original
mortgagee title insurance policy or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of
title, and, if applicable, the original Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
certificate;
(viii) the
original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent instrument
executed in connection with the Mortgage or as to any security agreement,
chattel mortgage or their equivalent instrument that cannot be delivered on
or
prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such document has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy
of
such document, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an
Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such security
agreement, chattel mortgage or their equivalent instrument delivered to the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) is a true copy and that the original
of
such document has been forwarded to the public recording office;
52
(ix) with
respect to any manufactured housing contract, any related manufactured housing
sales contract, installment loan agreement or participation interest;
and
(x) with
respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Loan Documents.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement attached
hereto as Exhibit B-4 is intended to effect the transfer to the Trustee, for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders, of the Mortgage Notes and the
Mortgages.
(c) (i) Assignments
of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative
Loan shall be recorded; provided,
however,
that
such Assignments need not be recorded if, on or prior to the Closing Date,
the
Depositor delivers, at its own expense, an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the
Trustee (which must be Independent counsel) acceptable to the Trustee and the
Rating Agencies, to the effect that recording in such states is not required
to
protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Non-MERS Mortgage Loans;
provided,
further,
that
notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, the Master Servicer
shall cause the applicable Servicer to submit each Assignment of Mortgage for
recording upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding
sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more
than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the
applicable recording office), the Master Servicer, at the expense of the
Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause
to be
properly recorded by each Servicer in each public recording office where the
related Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in
subsection (b)(v) above with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan. With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the
Depositor and with the cooperation of applicable Servicer, shall cause such
Servicer to take such actions as are necessary under applicable law in order
to
perfect the interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged
Property.
(ii) With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, at the expense of
the
Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause
the
Servicer to take such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership
of mortgages maintained by MERS.
(d) In
instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee under clause
(b)(vii) above and is not so delivered, the Depositor will provide a copy of
such Title Insurance Policy to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, as promptly as practicable after the execution and
delivery hereof, but in any case within 180 days of the Closing
Date.
53
(e) For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment
that
are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
4.01
have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be held
by
the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in trust for the benefit of
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders.
| Section 2.02. |
Acceptance
of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust
Fund.
|
(a) The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by
the
applicable Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof
by the Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under
this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and any NIMS Insurer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification
in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable
Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).
(b) Within
45
days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, will, for the benefit of the Holders, review each Mortgage
File
to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been
received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or
on
behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer an Interim Certification
in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable
Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such certification as
not
covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified
in
Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee, or the applicable
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine whether such documents
are
executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,
review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly
endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they
are
other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Trustee nor any
applicable Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness
or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf
of
any party or endorser.
54
(c) If
in the
course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face
(i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the
Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification
delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Within 90
days
of its receipt of such notice, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not
do
so, the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such
event, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
confirming that such cure has been effected). If the applicable Transferor
or
the Depositor, as applicable, does not so cure such Material Defect, the
Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor, shall, if
a
loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such
Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized
Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure
such
Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at
the
Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of
the
Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon
mutual agreement with the Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such
Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year
period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing
a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan
a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05.
The failure of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice
contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect
or
relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the
repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian,
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS
Insurer a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
B-3
(or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-3,
as
applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession
or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, any Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied
duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.
(f) Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall perform
the
applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof
as
provided in this Section 2.02 and the Custodial Agreement.
(g) Upon
execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Trustee and
the Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and
each
Servicing Agreement.
| Section 2.03. |

and Warranties of the Depositor.
|
(a) The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for the benefit of

any
of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree
or
order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
(iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking
of
any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental
authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken
prior to the date hereof;
(iv) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Master Servicer

of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law;
(v) there
are
no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor,

respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with
respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will be

prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee,
the
Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and
the
Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer

common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date
of
recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the
area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically
referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance Policy or attorney’s opinion of
title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan,
and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which
do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of any encumbrance,
equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest, and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.
56
(b) The
representations and warranties of each Transferor with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement, which have been assigned
to
the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the applicable
Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer Agreement is
in
the form of an assignment of a prior 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 applicable Transferor under the
applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the
Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of
the
Trustee or any Certificateholder hereunder (other than a breach by the Seller
of
the representations made pursuant to Sections 1.04(b)(xii), 1.04(b)(xiii),
1.04(b)(xiv), 1.04(b)(xv) and 1.04(b)(xvi) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement)
shall be their rights to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor
under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. Pursuant to the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the representations and warranties
made by the Seller pursuant to Sections 1.04(b)(xii), 1.04(b)(xiii),
1.04(b)(xiv), 1.04(b)(xv) and 1.04(b)(xvi) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement
shall be the direct obligations of the Seller. With the exception of the
immediately proceeding sentence, the Seller shall not have any other obligation
or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made
by
it with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold by it if the fact, condition or
event
constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or
warranty made by the applicable Transferor in the applicable Transfer Agreement,
without regard to whether such Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations
in respect of such representation or warranty. The Depositor shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or
warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.
| Section 2.04. |
Discovery
of Breach.
|
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) set forth
in
Section 2.03, (ii) of the Seller set forth in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement
and assigned to the Depositor by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement and to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder and (iii) of each
Transferor and of each Servicer assigned by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant
to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor
hereunder, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment
of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout
the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and
warranties that materially and adversely affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of
any
representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor or given by
any
Transferor or the Seller and assigned to the Trustee, the Depositor, such
Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach
in
all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property
acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price (or, with
respect to Mortgage Loans as to which there is a breach of a representation
or
warranty set forth in Section 1.04(b)(v) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
at
the purchase price therefor paid by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement) or (c) within the two-year period following the Closing Date,
substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage
Loan.
In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of
any
Transferor assigned to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under
the applicable Transfer Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for
the
benefit of Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreements,
if any Transferor substitutes a mortgage loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the related Transfer Agreement and such substitute mortgage loan
is
not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, then pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement the Seller will, in exchange for such substitute
mortgage loan, (i) pay to the Trust Fund the applicable Purchase Price for
the
affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date,
substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan.

| Section 2.05. |
Repurchase,
Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, or by
the
Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion
of the funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of such repurchase
of a
Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price
shall be deposited in the Collection Account or a Custodial Account, as
applicable. The Trustee (i) upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase
Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) upon receipt of a written certification
from the Master Servicer that it has received the full amount of the Purchase
Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and has deposited such amount in the
Collection Account or (iii) upon receipt of notification from the Custodian
that
it had received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution
Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor,
the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for
the
Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title
to
any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all
security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement,
which instruments shall be prepared by the related Servicer and the Trustee
shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating
to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any
actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than
in
compliance with the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC
Event.
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article
II
in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor
or
the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written
certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing
the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor
will
be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to
the
related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of
any
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the
expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer,
shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a
Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by
the
applicable Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with
respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan,
cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c).
58
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations
that
no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at
the
expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current
law,
such substitution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
| Section 2.06. |
Grant
Clause.
|
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(2)
the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders a
first priority security interest to secure repayment of an obligation in an
amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Certificates (or
the
aggregate principal balance of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests) in all
of
the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust and
all
proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund and the
Supplemental Interest Trust to secure payment of the Certificates (or Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interests) (such security interest being, to the extent of
the
assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Swap
Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while such
agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all
of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the
extent of such Swap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Swap Agreement
(such security interest being pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates
prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate
or
Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests, the security interest created hereby shall
continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the
collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be
distributed as herein provided.
59
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall,
at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and
shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for
filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security
interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned
by
(1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any
change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the
Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor
in
any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable
laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of
any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice
of
such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee.
Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change
its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate
filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue
the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller and the Depositor
authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office
any
initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any
continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this
paragraph (b).
ARTICLE
III
THE
CERTIFICATES
| Section 3.01. |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities
governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The Book-Entry
Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership
of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal
Amount or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Offered
Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate
Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class C, Class P and Class X Certificates
shall each be maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a minimum
denomination equal to 10.00% of the Percentage Interest of each such Class
and
integral multiples of 1.00% in excess thereof. Each of the Class LT-R and Class
R Certificates shall be issued as a single Certificate and maintained in
definitive, fully registered form in a minimum denomination equal to 100% of
the
Percentage Interest of such Class. The Certificates may be issued in the form
of
typewritten certificates.
60
(b) The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on original issue,
be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by
the
Trustee of the Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall
be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer
of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual signature, and
such certification 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.
| Section 3.02. |
Registration.
|
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate
Registrar in respect of the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(d) Purchase
Event, the applicable Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests) and shall maintain
books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (and, after
a
Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, the applicable Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests) (the “Certificate Register”). The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust
company to act as Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained
for the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, the
applicable Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests) collectively. The Certificate
Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be
appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in
Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. The
Certificate Registrar may appoint, by written instrument delivered to the
Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as
co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe;
provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Upon
the
occurrence of a Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with written notice of the identity of any transferee of
the
Master Servicer’s interest in the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests, which
notice shall contain a certification that such transferee is a permitted
LTURI-holder hereunder. The Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests may only be
transferred in whole and not in part to no more than one LTURI-holder at a
time
who is either (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer or (2) a trustee of a
privately placed securitization. The Trustee and the Depositor shall treat
the
Person in whose name the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests are registered on
the
books of the Certificate Registrar as the LTURI-holder for all purposes
hereunder.
| Section 3.03. |
Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, 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 registration
of transfer of Certificates.
61
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged
at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the
same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, 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 exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and
the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or QIB-Restricted Certificate, whether
upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate
acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth
thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined
in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a
“qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Trustee with a certificate
in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity
owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes
to
the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
G
hereto.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a QIB Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in the form of a Definitive Certificate: the Certificate Registrar shall
register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer
is
(x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a QIB as defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Trustee
with
a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto.
62
(d) (i) No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Trustee
has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto
(or
Exhibit D-1, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or
(B)
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a
Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions under
Title
I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer to any obligation in addition
to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as
a
result of a change of law or otherwise, the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a
Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Each
Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit H. The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS
Insurer or the Depositor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of
such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled,
but
not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan, any payments
made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any
such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by
the
Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a
Plan
or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(ii) No
transfer of an Offered Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap
Agreement shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation
letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither
a
Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of
any
such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such
Offered Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ 95-60 or
PTCE 96-23. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an Offered Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap
Agreement or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a
representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If
the
Offered Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed
to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph, as applicable.
63
If
any
Offered Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation
of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an Offered
Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and
hold
harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred
by
such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any Offered Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 3.03(d)(ii) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer
or
exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is
a
Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct
of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor
and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service W-8ECI or successor
form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who
is
not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted
Foreign Holder”).
64
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is
neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of
a
Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-Permitted Foreign Holder (any such
transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver
to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to) require,
prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed
transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor,
that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or
nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-Permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding
the
registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent
or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder shall
not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including,
but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate.
The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any person for any registration
or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent
or
nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any
payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the
Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section
3.03(f), unless the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time of such
transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is
a
Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of
a
Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or
any
subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not
including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Trustee shall be
paid
and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual
Certificate.
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of
written notice to the Trustee that the registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such Certificate to
the
registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph
of
this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each
Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate,
Offered Certificate prior
to
the termination of the Swap Agreement,
Residual
Certificate or QIB-Restricted Certificate, or an interest therein, by such
Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have
consented to the provisions of this section.
65
| Section 3.04. |
Cancellation
of Certificates.
|
Any
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect
to cancelled certificates maintained by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar.
| Section 3.05. |
Replacement
of Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor and any Authenticating
Agent that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by
a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee and Authenticating Agent may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
| Section 3.06. |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates,
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any
agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections
5.01
and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of any
of
them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
| Section 3.07. |
Temporary
Certificates.
|
(a) Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor,
the
Trustee shall execute and shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates
that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced,
in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the
authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced
by
their execution of such Certificates.
(b) If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of
definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall
execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate
Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class in
the
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
definitive Certificates of the same Class.
66
| Section 3.08. |
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
(a) The
Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose
of
making distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee shall cause
such Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee
that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the
Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent
for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders
on
each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such
Distribution Date to the Trustee.
If
the
Paying Agent is not the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to
the
Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date,
by
wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on
such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company
or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers. As
of
the
Closing Date the Trustee is the Paying Agent.
(b) Any
Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall comply with its reporting
obligations under Regulation AB with respect to the Trust Fund in form and
substance similar to those of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.20, and the
related assessment of compliance shall cover, at a minimum, the elements of
the
servicing criteria applicable to the Paying Agent indicated in Exhibit O
attached hereto. In addition, the Paying Agent shall notify the Sponsor, the
Trustee (if other than the Paying Agent), the Master Servicer and the Depositor
within five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof (i) of any legal proceedings
pending against the Paying Agent of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117)
of Regulation AB, (ii) any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all
of
the assets of the Paying Agent and (iii) if the Paying Agent shall become (but
only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an affiliate of any
of
the parties listed on Exhibit P hereto or any of their affiliates. On or before
March 1st of each year, the Depositor shall distribute the information in
Exhibit P to the Paying Agent.
(c) Any
Paying Agent agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee (if
other than the Trustee) and the Master Servicer, and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents and the Trust Fund and hold each
of
them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any
other
costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based
upon the failure by such Paying Agent to deliver any information, report or

| Section 3.09. |
Book-Entry
Certificates.
|
(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on
the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and
no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Trustee
may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of
distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives
of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons
entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal
procedures;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
68
(c) If
(i)
(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is
no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect
to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating
not
less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of a
Class of Book-Entry Certificates identified as such to the Trustee by an
Officer’s Certificate from the Clearing Agency advise the Trustee and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in
the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to
notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners,
through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing
Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates
all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the
extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee
shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder. None of the Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriter, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of the Book-Entry Certificates held by the Clearing Agency or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

OF THE TRUST FUND
| Section 4.01. |
Collection
Account.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain
a
segregated account held in trust (the “Collection Account”), entitled
“Collection Account, Aurora Loan Services LLC, as Master Servicer, in trust
for
the benefit of the Holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ XS Trust Mortgage Pass-Through

of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No later than 2:00 p.m. New York
City

in
the Collection Account (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section
4.02), other than amounts not included in the Total Distribution Amount for
such
Distribution Date, shall be remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the
Certificate Account by wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Master
Servicer, at its option (but with prior notice to the Trustee), may choose
to
make daily remittances from the Collection Account to the Trustee for deposit
into the Certificate Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, no later than two Business Days following the Closing Date, any amounts
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans representing Scheduled Payments
on
the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date and unscheduled payments received
on or after the Cut-off Date and on or before the Closing Date. Thereafter,
the
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account
on the earlier of the applicable Remittance Date and two Business Days following
receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made by it (other
than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the
Cut-off Date):
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, late
collections, and any Prepayment Premiums, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, in all cases, net of
the
Servicing Fee with respect to each such Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent
of
the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account
in
accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21;
(iii) any
unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect to a Mortgage Loan not
otherwise specified in this paragraph (d), including all Net Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Property, and all amounts
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property, net of (x) any
unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loans (but only to the
extent of the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection
Account in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21) and (y) any amounts
reimbursable to a Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the
applicable Servicing Agreement and retained by such Servicer;
(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04
or
the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(vi) all
amounts paid by any Servicer with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls;
and
(vii) the

to
any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and any purchase price paid by the
NIMS
Insurer for the purchase of any Distressed Mortgage Loan under Section
7.04.
70
(e) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments selected by
and
at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later
than one Business Day prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date (except
that
if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee, then such Eligible
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Master Servicer
Remittance Date) and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed
of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the
name of the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ XS Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-3.
All income and gain realized from any Eligible Investment shall be for the
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order
from time to time and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such
Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing
requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the
nature of late payment charges, assumption fees, prepayment penalties with
respect to mortgages for which the Seller does not own the servicing rights,
and
other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than
Prepayment Premiums) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits
in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein,
it
may at any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.
| Section 4.02. |
Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
|
The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals
from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances or Servicing Advances made by
it
or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing
Agreement; such right to reimbursement pursuant to this sub-clause (i) is
limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan
(including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing
Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage)
which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee) of
payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made,
it
being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master
Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders;
(ii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer, following a final liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan (except as otherwise provided in the related Servicing Agreement) for
any
previously unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by such
Servicer (A) that it or such Servicer determines in good faith will not be
recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal
or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Advance
or
Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
with respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such
unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances exceed the related Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it being understood, in the case of each such
reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
71
(iii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation
Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(c)
or
the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the
restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds
after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate for such
Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such
Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any
unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on
the
related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as
additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any
such
reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(iv) [Reserved];
(v) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by
or
reimbursable to it or any Servicer pursuant to Sections 9.04, 9.05, 9.06
9.07(a), 9.16, 9.30 or 11.15 or pursuant to the related Servicing
Agreement;
(vi) to
pay to
the Depositor, the Seller or any Transferor, as applicable, with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not
distributed on the date on which the related repurchase was effected, and to
pay
to the applicable Person any Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent
specified in the definition of Purchase Price;
(vii) subject
to Section 5.05, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(viii) to
make
payments to the Trustee on each Master Servicer Remittance Date for deposit
into
the Certificate Account in the amount provided in Section 4.04;
(ix) to
make
payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any other provision of
this Agreement and to reimburse any Custodian pursuant to the applicable
Custodial Agreement, but only to the extent that the items reimbursed constitute
“unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii);
(x) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02;
72
(xii) to
reimburse a successor Master Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor
Master Servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the
Master Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee or a successor
Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14, in each
case
to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being
understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right
of
the Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of
the
Certificateholders;
(xiii) to
reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable
Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer,
to
the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.
If
provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer shall be entitled
to
retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest Excess
(to
the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls).
In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails on any Master Servicer Remittance Date
to
remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee
pursuant to sub-clause (viii) by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay
the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime
rate” (as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) on
such amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Master
Servicer Remittance Date to but not including the related Distribution Date.
The
Master Servicer shall only be required to pay the Trustee interest for the
actual number of days such amounts are not timely remitted (e.g., one day’s
interest, if such amounts are remitted one day after the Master Servicer
Remittance Date).
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to sub-clauses (i), (iii), and (vi) above,
the Master Servicer’s, any Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement thereto
is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan.
The
Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for
each
Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such sub-clause (i), (iii)
and (vi).

reasonable efforts to obtain such information and documentation from such
Servicer, and provide) to such Certificateholder such reports and access to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such

4.03(a)(i) and (ii) on an annual basis as may be required to enable such Holders
to prepare their federal income tax returns; provided,
however,
that
this Section 4.03(c) shall not be applicable where relevant reports or summaries
are required elsewhere in this Agreement. Such information shall include the
amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Certificates and
information regarding the expenses of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall be
deemed to have satisfied this requirement if it forwards such information in
any
other format permitted by the Code. The Master Servicer shall provide the
Trustee with such information as is necessary for the Trustee to prepare such
reports.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), on
behalf of the Trust Fund, an application for an employer identification number
on IRS Form SS-4 or by any other acceptable method. The Trustee shall also
file
a Form 8811 as required. The Trustee, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice
of
Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward
a
copy of such notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Trustee shall
furnish any other information that is required by the Code and regulations
thereunder to be made available to Certificateholders. The Master Servicer

Certificate
Account.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, as trustee, a trust account
(the “Certificate Account”) entitled “Certificate Account, U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
XS
Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-3” until disbursed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Certificate Account shall be an
Eligible Account and shall be for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If
the
existing Certificate Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee
shall
establish a new Certificate Account that is an Eligible Account within 20
Business Days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in
such
existing Certificate Account into such new Certificate Account. The Certificate
Account shall relate solely to the Certificates and to the Pooling REMIC 1

including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held under this
Agreement.
(b) The
Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Certificate Account,
on
the day on which, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following the day on which, any monies are remitted by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee, all such amounts so remitted. The Trustee shall make
withdrawals from the Certificate Account only for the following
purposes:
77
(i) to
make
payment to itself pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, or to reimburse
itself or its agents for any amounts reimbursable
to it pursuant to Sections 6.11, 6.12 or 7.01; provided,
however,
that
any amounts in excess of the annual cap described in clause (b) of the
definition of “Interest Remittance Amount” and clause (b) of the definition of
“Principal Remittance Amount” in any Anniversary Year, other than costs
and
expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.11, 6.14 and 7.01 in
connection with any transfer of servicing,
shall
not be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and paid to the Trustee and the
Trustee’s reimbursement for such excess amounts shall be made pursuant to
Section 5.02(b)(iv) hereof;
(ii) to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
(iii) to
pay
itself any investment income earned with respect to funds in the Certificate
Account invested in Eligible Investments as set forth below and to make payments
to itself and others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement;
(iv) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Article V; and
(v) to
clear
and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 7.02.
The
Trustee may invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Certificate
Account, which funds, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible Investments
(which may be obligations of the Trustee). All such investments must be payable
on demand or mature no later than the next Distribution Date, and shall not
be
sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments
will
be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee.
All
income and gain realized from any such investment shall be compensation to
the
Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time.
The
amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be paid
by the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account out of its own funds,

DISTRIBUTIONS
TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES
| Section 5.01. |
Distributions
Generally.
|
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, so long as the Senior Certificates are outstanding, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Holders in
accordance with this Article V; provided, however, that if a Section 7.01(d)
Purchase Event has occurred, the distributions related to the Pooling REMIC
1
Regular Interests shall be made in accordance with Section 5.02(j). Such
distributions shall be made by wire transfer if the Certificateholder has
provided the Trustee with wire instructions or by check mailed to the address
of
such Certificateholder as it appears in the books of the Trustee if the
Certificateholder has not provided the Trustee with wire instructions in
immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the
expense of such Certificateholder; provided,
however,
that the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office;
provided,
further,
that the
foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long as
such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments
made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency
Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the
Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the
termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due
with
respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in
retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation
and
surrender of such Certificate at the applicable Corporate Trust Office. If
any
payment required to be made on the Certificates or the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment
will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b)
All
distributions or allocations made with respect to Certificateholders within
each
Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates of such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial
Class Principal Amounts (or Percentage Interests).
| Section 5.02. |

| Section 5.04. |
Advances
by Master Servicer, Servicers and Trustee.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 9.07, Advances shall be made in respect of each Determination Date
as
provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, any Servicer determines that
any
Scheduled Payments due during the related Collection Period (other that Balloon
Payments) have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount to
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. If any Servicer fails
to
remit Advances required to be made under the applicable Servicing Agreement,
the
Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to
make, such Advance on the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately following
such Determination Date; provided,
however,
that
required Advances remitted by the Servicer or the Master Servicer may be reduced
by an amount, if any, to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate to be
delivered to the Trustee on such Determination Date, which if advanced the
Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer has determined would not be
recoverable from amounts received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including
late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise. If the
Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date either
(i) remit to the Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable
Servicer) for deposit in the Certificate Account immediately available funds
in
an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry
in
the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held
for
future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04,
used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately
available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account or (iii)
make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating
the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account
for
future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by
the
Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Trustee for deposit
in
the Certificate Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance
Date
to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Master Servicer
Remittance Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required
to be
made on the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances
made by it as provided in Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment
that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no
obligation to make such Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made,
would constitute a non-recoverable Advance.
88
(b) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Master Servicer or
Servicer fails for any reason to make an Advance required to be made pursuant
to
this Section 5.04 on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee,
in its capacity as successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, shall,
on
or before the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Certificate Account
an
amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances required to be made by the Master
Servicer or the Servicers that would have been deposited in such Certificate
Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited
by
law from doing so and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable
from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late
payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account for Advances
made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if it were the Master
Servicer.
| Section 5.05. |
Compensating
Interest Payments.
|
The
Master Servicer shall not be responsible for making any Compensating Interest
Payments not made by the Servicers. Any Compensating Interest Payments made
by
the Servicers shall be a component of the Interest Remittance
Amount.
| Section 5.06. |
Basis
Risk Reserve Fund.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust
for
the benefit of the holders of the Offered Certificates, the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund, into which LBH shall deposit $1,000. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall
be
an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including,
without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute in the order of priority and
to
the extent specified in Section 5.02(f)(iii) of this Agreement the sum of
(without duplication) any amounts then on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund, including any earnings thereon. On any Distribution Date, any amounts
that
the Trustee is not required to distribute from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund
pursuant to Section 5.02(f)(iii) of this Agreement shall remain on deposit
in
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund.
(c) [Reserved];
(d) [Reserved];
(e) Funds
in
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be invested in Eligible Investments. The
Class
X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for
federal income tax purposes and LBH on behalf of the Holders thereof shall
direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein.
LBH shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence
of written instructions from LBH as to investment of funds on deposit in the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund, such funds shall remain uninvested. The Basis Risk
Reserve Fund will be terminated after a Trust Fund Termination
Event.

| Section 5.08. |
Supplemental
Interest Trust.
|
(a)
A
separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), the
corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the
holders of the Offered Certificates and the Swap Counterparty. The Trustee,
as
trustee of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall establish an account (the
“Supplemental Interest Trust Account”), into which LBH shall initially deposit
$1,000. The Supplemental Interest Trust Account shall be an Eligible Account,
and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall
not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other
moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)
The
Trustee shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Trust Account any Net
Swap
Payment required pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (d), and (f), any Swap
Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (d) and (f), any
amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and any
amounts distributed from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund required pursuant to
Sections 5.02(f)(iii), and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest
Trust
Account any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 5.02(h)(i) or Swap
Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 5.02(h)(ii) and
(x).
(c)
Funds
in
the Supplemental Interest Trust Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be distributed on each
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02(h). The Class X Certificates shall
evidence ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust Account for federal income
tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Trustee, in writing, as
to
investment of amounts on deposit therein. The Class X Certificateholders shall
be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written
instructions from the Class X Certificateholders as to investment of funds
on
deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, such funds remain
uninvested. Any amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account
in
excess of the Supplemental Interest Trust Amount on any Distribution Date shall
be held for distribution pursuant to Section 5.02(h) on the following
Distribution Date.
(d)
Upon
termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental
Interest Trust Account shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set
forth
in Section 5.02(h).
(e)
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the holder of the Class X Certificates unless and until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class X Certificateholder or
(b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for
federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any entity
level tax reporting for the Supplemental Interest Trust.
To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Trustee, any obligation of the Trustee under the Swap Agreement
shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest
Trust.
90
| Section 5.09. |
Rights
of Swap Counterparty.
|
The
Swap
Counterparty shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to
the
same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right, upon
designation of an “Early Termination Date” (as defined in the Swap Agreement),
to enforce its rights under this Agreement, which rights include but are not
limited to the obligation of the Trustee (A) to deposit any Net Swap Payment
required pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (d) and (f), and any Swap Termination
Payment required pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (d) and (f), into the
Supplemental Interest Trust Account, (B) to deposit any amounts from the Basis
Risk Reserve Fund required pursuant to Sections 5.02(f)(iii) into the
Supplemental Interest Trust Account, (C) to pay any Net Swap Payment required
pursuant to Section 5.02(h)(i) or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant
to
Sections 5.02(h)(ii) and (x) to the Swap Counterparty and (D) to establish
and
maintain the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, to make such deposits thereto,
investments therein and distributions therefrom as are required pursuant to
Section 5.07. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section the Swap Counterparty shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either at law or in equity.
| Section 5.10. |
Termination
Receipts.
|
In
the
event of an “Early Termination Event” as defined under the Swap Agreement, (i)
any Swap Termination Payment made by the Swap Counterparty to the Supplemental
Interest Trust and paid pursuant to Section 5.02(h)(ix) (“Termination Receipts”)
will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which shall
be an
Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Termination Receipts Account”)
and (ii) any amounts received from a replacement Swap Counterparty (“Replacement
Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which
shall be an Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Replacement
Receipts Account”). Solely upon written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee
shall invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Termination Receipts
Account and the Replacement Receipts Account in time deposits of the Trustee
as
permitted by clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Investments or as
otherwise directed in writing by a majority of the Certificateholders. All
such
investments must be payable on demand or mature on a Distribution Date or such
other date as directed by the Certificateholders. If no such direction is given
by the Depositor, such funds shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible
Investments will be made in the name of the Trustee of the Supplemental Interest
Trust (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized
from any such investment shall be deposited in the Termination Receipts Account
or the Replacement Receipts Account, as applicable, and all losses, if any,
shall be borne by the related account.
Unless
otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies as evidenced in a written
confirmation, the Depositor shall arrange for replacement Swap Agreement(s)
and
the Trustee shall promptly, at the written direction of the Depositor, use
amounts on deposit in the Termination Receipts Account, if necessary, to enter
into replacement Swap Agreement(s) which shall be executed and delivered by
the
Trustee upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
replacement Swap Agreement(s) 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.
91
Amounts
on deposit in the Replacement Receipts Account shall be held for the benefit
of
the related Swap Counterparty and paid to such Swap Counterparty if the
Supplemental Interest Trust is required to make a payment to such Swap
Counterparty following an event of default or termination event with respect
to
the Supplemental Interest Trust under the related Swap Agreement. Any amounts
not so applied shall, following the termination or expiration of such Swap
Agreement, be paid to the Class X Certificates.
| Section 5.11. |
Class
X Account.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust
for
the benefit of the holders of the Class X, the Class X Account. No later than
the first date on which any NIMS Securities are issued, the Depositor shall
deposit a dollar amount into the Class X Account. The Class X Account shall
be
an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including,
without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) Funds
in
the Class X Account may be invested in Eligible Investments having fixed
maturities described in clauses (i), (iv), (v) or (vii) of the definition
thereof by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class C
Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date.
No
Eligible Investments shall be acquired or disposed of for the primary purpose
of
recognizing gains or decreasing losses from market value changes. Any funds
held
in the Class X Account that are not invested shall be held in cash. In the
absence of such written direction, all funds in the Class X Account shall remain
uninvested. Any investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the
holders of the Class C Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the
Class X Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury
regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement. The Class C Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Class X
Account for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the
Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall
have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible Investments made
pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) (other than as obligor on any such
investments). Upon termination of the Class X Account, any amounts remaining
in
the Class X Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 5.02(i)(1)
hereof.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date on and prior to the Class X Account Termination Date, amounts
on deposit in the Class X Account will be withdrawn and applied to make payments
to the Class X and Class C Certificates as provided in Section 5.02(i) of this
Agreement. Any
amounts that the Trustee is not required to distribute from the Class X Account
pursuant to Section 5.02(i) of this Agreement shall remain on deposit in the
Class X Account.
(d) The
Class
X Account shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Class X Account Termination
Date or (ii) the Distribution Date on which the amount on deposit in the Class
X
Account is reduced to zero.

ARTICLE
VI
CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE EVENTS OF DEFAULT
| Section 6.01. |
Duties
of Trustee.
|
(a) The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, undertakes
to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee provided for in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee. If an Event of Default (of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge) has
occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs, unless
the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer, in which case it shall use the same
degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer hereunder.
(b) The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument furnished by the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Swap
Counterparty to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be
required to recalculate or verify any numerical information furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, if any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument is found not to conform on its face to
the
form required by this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall notify
the Person providing such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports or other documents of the non-conformity, and if the instrument is
not
corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense of
the
Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of
the
required action, take such further action as directed by the Certificateholders
and any NIMS Insurer.
(c) The
Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of
this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its
own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct; provided,
however,
that:
(i) 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 or with the consent of Holders of Certificates as provided in Section
6.18 hereof;
93
(ii) For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of
any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer
(i) to remit funds (or to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to
the
Trustee when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in
fact
such a default is received by the Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust
Office, and such notice references the Holders and this Agreement;
(iii) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that 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 Depositor or the Master Servicer under this
Agreement; and
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the act or omission of the Master Servicer,
any Servicer, the Depositor, the Seller or any Custodian.
(d) The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to
have
been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to
the
applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible
Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient
to
permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which
such
document relates is a Mortgaged Property.
(e) 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 any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders of any Class holding
Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.
(f) The
Trustee shall not be required to perform services under this Agreement, or
to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights
or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment
of
its fees and expenses or 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 Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or
any
Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of,
the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
94
(g) The
Trustee shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the
Collection Account or the Basis Risk Reserve Fund 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).
(h) Except
as
otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to undertake
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 ensure the maintenance of any such recording or filing
or depositing or to undertake any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of
any
such statement or agreement, (B) to establish or maintain any insurance, (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 Collection Account or the Certificate Account, or (D) to confirm or verify
the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer, any
Servicer, the Swap Counterparty or the Depositor delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(i) The
Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or any other officer of the Trustee
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(j) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be liable
for
special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of
action.
(k) For
so
long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for
the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ XS Trust 2006-3 transaction, the Trustee shall give prior written notice
to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Depositor of the appointment of
any
Subcontractor by it and a written description (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Sponsor and the Depositor) of the role and function of
each
Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee, specifying (A) the identity of each
such
Subcontractor and (B) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth under
Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance
and
accountant’s attestations provided by each such Subcontractor.
(l) For
so
long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for
the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ XS Trust 2006-3 transaction, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer
and the Depositor within five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof (i) of
any
legal proceedings pending against the Trustee of the type described in Item
1117
(§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB, (ii) of any merger, consolidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Trustee and (iii) if the Trustee shall

1st
of each
year, the Depositor shall distribute the information on Exhibit P to the
Trustee.

against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby;
(vii) The
right
of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement

filed with respect to the Trust in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, the certification required pursuant
to
Section 9.25 indicating which Servicing Criteria are applicable to such
successor trustee, 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 herein. The predecessor trustee (or its custodian)

Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
|
Any
Person into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding
to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor to the
Trustee 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 that such Person shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 6.05. Unless and until a Form 15 suspension notice shall
have been filed, as
a
condition to the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may
be
appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Sponsor,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the
effective date of such succession or appointment, of such succession or
appointment and shall furnish to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, all information reasonably
necessary for the Trustee to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section
6.20, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if
such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange
Act).
| Section 6.09. |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from
time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee and any
NIMS Insurer, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as
separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to,
foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside
the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such
separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has
been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is
necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing
a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any
legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property
securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of
the
Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so
appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the
Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall
be
specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however,
that no
such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an
agent
of the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any action or omission
of any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,
at any
time during the period that a Form 10-K is being filed with respect to the
Trust
in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission and if such co-custodian or co-trustee is determined to be a
Servicing Function Participant, no
such
co-custodian or co-trustee shall be vested with any powers, rights and remedies
under this Agreement unless such party has agreed to comply with all Regulation
AB requirements set forth under this Agreement or the related Custodial
Agreement, as applicable.
(b) Every
separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent permitted
by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect
of
the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the
Trustee;
100
(ii) all
other
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, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are
to be performed 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 Fund or any portion thereof in
any
such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no
trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act
or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the
Trustee or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate
Voting Interests of the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation
of
or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it
or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(c) 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,
co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of
this
Article VI. 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 given to the Master
Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.
(d) Any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee
or
custodian 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.
(e) No
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05 hereunder
and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be required under
Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The
Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary
to
fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.
(g) The
Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees (which
compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee ) and,
if
paid by the Trustee, shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section
6.12.
101
(h) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for so long as reports are required to be filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Trustee shall
not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if
such Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without (a) giving notice to the Seller,
the Master Servicer, the Sponsor and the Depositor and (b) requiring any such
Subcontractor to provide to the Trustee an assessment report as provided in
Section 9.25(a) and an attestation report as provided in Section 9.25(b), which
reports the Trustee shall include in its assessment and attestation reports.
The
Trustee shall indemnify the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
and
any director, officer, employee or agent of each of the Sponsor, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer 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 any failure by the Trustee (i)
to
give notice of the engagement of any Subcontractor or (ii) to require any
Subcontractor to provide the Trustee an assessment of compliance as provided
in
Section 9.25(a) and an attestation report as provided in Section 9.25(b). This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee.
| Section 6.10. |
Authenticating
Agents.
|
(a) The
Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by
the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee
by
an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America
or
of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision
or
examination by federal or state authorities and acceptable to any NIMS
Insurer.
(b) Any
Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
102
(c) Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Depositor and any NIMS Insurer and shall mail notice of such appointment to
all
Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance
of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10.
No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action
taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall
be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the
Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section
6.12.
| Section 6.11. |
Indemnification
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall
be
entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding or incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on their part (it being understood that the
negligence or willful misconduct of any Custodian shall not constitute
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or its directors,
officerts employees or agents for such purpose), arising out of, or in
connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder or
under the Swap Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, any Transfer
Agreement, any Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, including any
applicable fees and expenses payable pursuant to Section 6.12 and the costs
and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided
that:
(i) with
respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the
Trustee shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure of the Trustee
to
provide such written notice shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation
to indemnify the Trustee under this Section 6.11;
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without
the
prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
The
provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be construed to include,
but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental
law.
103
| Section 6.12. |
Fees
and Expenses of Trustee and Custodians.
|
The
Trustee shall be entitled to (i) receive, and is authorized to pay itself,
the
amount of income or gain earned from investment of or other earnings on funds
in
the Certificate Account and (ii) reimbursement of all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons
not
regularly in its employment and any amounts described in Section 10.01 to which
the Trustee is entitled as provided therein), except for expenses, disbursements
and advances that either (i) do not constitute “unanticipated expenses” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or (ii) arise
from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred
or made in connection with a Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event in accordance with
Section 4.04(b). Each Custodian shall receive compensation and reimbursement
or
payment of its expenses under the related Custodial Agreement as provided
therein; provided that, to the extent required under Section 6 or Section 20
of
the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee is hereby authorized to pay such
compensation or reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account
prior to any distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02
hereof.
| Section 6.13. |
Collection
of Monies.
|
Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee may demand payment
or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property
payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee
shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust
Fund
and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee shall
not
have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans
from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall request the Master Servicer to
make
such distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the
Trustee shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such
request.

(xi) The

no
event later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the related Distribution Date)
after the date upon which such written notice of such failure shall have been
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee.
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (xi) of this Section 6.14
shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long
as
any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of
time
prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more
than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class
of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
If
an Event of Default described in clause (xii) of this Section 6.14 shall occur,
then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Event
of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by
clause (xii) of this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer, shall promptly terminate all the rights and obligations of
the
Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as
Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee and pursuant to and
under the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however,
the
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may
be a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
the
Master Servicer’s obligations to the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including,
without limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master
servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents
and
records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the
Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions
hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the
defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such
defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect
to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all costs of a master servicing
transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably allocable
to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and
financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement,
if
necessary.
106
The
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by
the
Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations
hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the
predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or
expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data
or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly
and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such
reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor,
such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall
be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04(b); provided that the terminated
Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any such expense incurred
by
the Trust Fund; and provided,
further,
that the
Trustee shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest
of
the Certificateholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to
make
such reimbursement.
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided
in Section 4.02(i), (ii), (iii), (v), (vii) and (ix) to the extent such
reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s
termination.
If
any
Event of Default shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has
actual knowledge, the Trustee, shall promptly notify the Swap Counterparty,
any
NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event
of
Default. The Trustee shall immediately give written notice to the Master
Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remit funds on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date.
(b) Within
90
days of the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from
the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation
of
the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section
9.28,
the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall
be
the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances;
provided,
however,
that any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee
shall
have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or for
any
breach of representation or warranty by the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall
have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master
Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor,
the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to
the
Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
including the Master Servicing Fee. The Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Master
Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs
associated with the transfer of master servicing from the Master Servicer to
the
Trustee or its designee pursuant to this Section 6.14(b), including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of
all
master servicing data.
107
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all
of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be
an
Affiliate of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its
duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out
of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however,
that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession
and
may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the
master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master
servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates the Pooling REMIC
1
Regular Interests or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed
to
be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate
as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to
deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement
or
(iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
the Master Servicer.
| Section 6.15. |
Additional
Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
|
During
the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in
Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and
enforce the rights and remedies, of any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative
and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and
each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and
no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right
or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
provided,
however,
that the

limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties
as
master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, or any NIMS Insurer, unless such Certificateholders, or
any
NIMS Insurer, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section

the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the
Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action
or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith
determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in
personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be
unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

“NIM Redemption Amount”). Upon exercise of such option, the property of the
Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer for the Pool Purchase Price.
The
Master Servicer, each Servicer (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall be
reimbursed from the Pool Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property for any Advances made or other amounts advanced with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the Trustee
under
this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, together with any accrued
and
unpaid compensation and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer hereunder
or the Servicers thereunder, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Pool Purchase Price for any related amounts owed to the Trustee under
Section 6.11 and Section 6.12 hereof. If the NIMS Insurer directs the Master
Servicer to exercise its right to cause the Trust Fund to sell its property
as
described above, then (i) the Master Servicer shall cause the Trust Fund to
sell
its property as described above, (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall remit the Pool
Purchase Price in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer at least
three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt
of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall promptly deposit
such funds in the Collection Account and (iii) the Trustee shall transfer the
property of the Trust Fund to the NIMS Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be
obligated to reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its sale of the property
in
the Mortgage Pool at the direction of the NIMS Insurer and shall indemnify
and
hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities
or
expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the
Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s sale of such property at the direction of the
NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise
out of or result from the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s, as the case may be,
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date,
and provided there are no NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer,
with
the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, has the option to purchase all of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests.
Upon
exercise of such option, the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be sold
to
the Master Servicer at a price (the “Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests Purchase
Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued thereon at
the
applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any such Mortgage Loan to the Due
Date
in the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution Date
to
the date of such repurchase and (ii) the fair market value of any REO Property
and any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value to be
determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by
the
Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of
REO
Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount
by
which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the
applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase). If the Master
Servicer elects to exercise such option, each REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement (other than Pooling REMIC 1) shall be terminated in such a manner
so
that the termination of each such REMIC shall qualify as a “qualified
liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions and the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests and the Class LT-R Certificates will evidence the entire beneficial
interest in the property of the Trust Fund. Following a purchase of the Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interests pursuant to this subsection, the Trust Fund (and
Pooling REMIC 1) will remain outstanding and final payment on the Certificates
(other than the Class LT-R Certificates) will be made in accordance with Section
7.03(a)(iii) and 5.02. The Trust Fund will terminate upon the occurrence of
a
Trust Fund Termination Event, in accordance with Section 7.01(a).
118
| Section 7.02. |
Procedure
Upon Termination of Trust Fund
or Purchase of Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests.
|
(a)
Notice
of
any Trust Fund Termination Event and notice of the purchase of the Pooling
REMIC
1 Regular Interests, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final
distribution to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates, in
the
case of a purchase of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests) shall be made,
shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to Certificateholders
mailed no later than 5 Business Days after the Trustee has received notice
from
the Master Servicer of its election to cause (x) sale of all of the property
of
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b), (y) the purchase of the Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.01(d), or (z) upon the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the
Trust Fund. In the case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, the Trustee shall
also give notice to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the
time notice is given to the Holders.
In
the
case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, such notice shall specify (A) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates or Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interests of all amounts required to be distributed to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation
and
surrender of the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. Upon any such Trust
Fund Termination Event, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect
to
the Certificates or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall terminate and the
Trustee shall terminate or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the
Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate Account and any other account
or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In
the
case of a purchase of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests, such notice shall
specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the
Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) of all amounts required
to
be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 (other than any
distributions to the Class LT-R Certificates in respect of Pooling REMIC 1)
will
be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates (other than the
Class LT-R Certificates) at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
(other than the Class LT-R Certificates) at the office or agency of the Trustee
therein specified. Upon any such purchase of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the
Certificates shall terminate but the Trustee shall not terminate or request
the
Master Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the
Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to
the
related Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all
amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such
payment. For all Distribution Dates following the Distribution Date on which
the
Master Servicer purchases the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests, all amounts
that would be distributed on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R
Certificate and exclusive of amounts payable from any fund that is treated
as an
Excluded Trust Asset) absent such purchase shall be payable to the applicable
LTURI-holder.
119
(b) In
the
event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after
the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold
all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.
No
interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed
to a
Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section.
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any Trust Fund
Termination Event or any purchase of the Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests
shall
be reimbursed from proceeds received from such termination or
purchase.

by
the Trustee under this Section and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the
Servicer.
(c)
In

RIGHTS
OF
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
| Section 8.01. |
Limitation
on Rights of Holders.
|
(a) The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding
in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any
of
them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder,
solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right
to
vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or the operation
and
management of the Trust Fund, 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.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement
to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under
or
with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given
to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount, as applicable, (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class
affected thereby 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 cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee, for sixty 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 and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given such Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders;
it
being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that
no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or
to
obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein
provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at
law
or in equity.
122
| Section 8.02. |
Access
to List of Holders.
|
(a) If
the
Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing,
a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record
Date.
(b) If
three
or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”)
apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants
desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under
this
Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the
communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such
Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the Trustee
to
the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee or shall, as
an
alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as
they
appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee, that none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall
be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived.
| Section 8.03. |
Acts
of Holders of Certificates.
|
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Paying Agent and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer.
Such
instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby)
are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a
writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Master Servicer, if
made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument
by
it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the
others.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate
of
any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments
or
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
123
(c) The
ownership of Certificates or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests (whether or
not
such Certificates or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register,
and
none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests
shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate or Pooling REMIC 1
Regular Interests and the Holder of every Certificate or Pooling REMIC 1 Regular
Interests issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered
to
be done by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether
or
not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate or Pooling REMIC
1
Regular Interests.

THE
MASTER SERVICER
| Section 9.01. |
Duties
of the Master Servicer.
|
The
Certificateholders, by their purchase and acceptance of the Certificates or
Pooling REMIC 1 Regular Interests, appoint Aurora Loan Services LLC, as Master
Servicer. For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of each
Servicing Agreement.
| Section 9.02. |
Master
Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance

|
(a) The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Master Servicer
Fidelity Bond and a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other
Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The
Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Master Servicer
Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee upon request, with a copy of such
policy and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer
to
maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii)
cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing
that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer
any
notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond
received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates
and
notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Trustee upon request.
124
(b) The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any material changes that
may occur in the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond or the Master Servicer Errors
and
Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the Trustee, on request,
certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force
and effect. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee all cases
of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the
applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with
the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim
report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master
Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee. Any
amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under
any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to
the
Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account. Any amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loans collected by the applicable Servicer under any such bond or
policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement.
| Section 9.03. |
Master
Servicer’s Financial Statements and Related Information.
|
For
each
year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall submit to the
Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of its annual unaudited

statement of retained earnings, statement of additional paid-in capital,
statement of changes in financial position and all related notes and schedules
and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally recognized firm
of
Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements were examined and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on
a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
| Section 9.04. |
Power
to Act; Procedures.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power
and
authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable
Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not
take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent
with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders
in
any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer further is
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders
125
and
the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Servicer (to the extent
permitted in the related Servicing Agreement), when the Master Servicer or
a
Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment
to
register any Mortgage Loan with MERS, or cause the removal from the registration
of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS system, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment
or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the
Trustee and its successor and assigns. The Master Servicer shall represent
and
protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its
own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding
or
litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit
any
Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the
name
of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated
to
such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized
and
empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the
case
may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Trustee or
any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee
shall execute, upon request, any powers of attorney furnished to it by the
Master Servicer empowering the Master Servicer or any 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 Mortgaged
Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to
the
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary
or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans
and carry out its duties hereunder and to allow such Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices
(and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of
attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which
action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee
or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or
tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request
of
the Trustee the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment
of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In the performance of its
duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and
shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name
of
the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, the Master 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 Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii)
take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the
Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
126
(b) In
master
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ
procedures, and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs and
exercises master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving
due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not
conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge (but not any Prepayment Premium, except as set forth below)
and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
not
greater than 120 days; provided,
however,
that the
maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which
the
final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master
Servicer shall make or cause such Servicer (if required by the applicable
Servicing Agreement) to make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any
material term of any Mortgage Loan unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default
or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case
of
a waiver of a Prepayment Premium if (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or
default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer or applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if the prepayment is
not
a result of a refinancing by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (i)
such
Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize recovery of total
proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the
related Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Premium would
be
in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment
Premium would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published
or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting
in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters, and (3)
the
Master Servicer shall have provided or caused to be provided to the Trustee
an
Opinion of Counsel (if required by the applicable Servicing Agreement) (which
opinion shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense reimbursed
from
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v)) in writing to the effect
that such modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel be required for the
waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2) above.
| Section 9.05. |
Enforcement
of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
|
(a) Each
Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in
this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions
taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees
and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted
to the Master Servicer by such Servicer to the extent permitted by the
applicable Servicing Agreement and shall not be an obligation of the Trust
Fund,
the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to
the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is not required to
take
under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any
action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement
does
not require the Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action;
in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that requires
the
Master Servicer to take such action or cause the Servicer to take such
action.
127
(c) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce the obligations of each
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, upon obtaining actual
knowledge of the failure of a Servicer to perform its obligations in accordance
therewith, to the extent that such non-performance of such obligations would
have a material adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer
thereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause
the
other parties hereto to enter into a Servicing Agreement (and such parties
hereby agree to execute and deliver any such successor Servicing Agreement),
with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such
an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and
shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) from a general recovery resulting
from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds
all
amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom
such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts
are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such
enforcement, from the Collection Account.
(d)
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certifications
or
other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, filings or
reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable
law or regulation.
| Section 9.06. |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
|
(a) To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall
cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts
at
a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which
the
Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course
of
its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum
extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein
any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes,
assessments, water rates, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums, Payaheads,
if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors.
Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have
been
escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required
to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in
the
applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to
effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related
Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to
pay
such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that
the
funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant
to Section 4.02 or otherwise.
128
(b) Costs
incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage
Loans
may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the
terms
of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided,
however,
that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs,
to
the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary
or
routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 4.02.
| Section 9.07. |
Termination
of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
any
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue
of this Agreement; provided,
however,
that in
the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer
or
the related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the
related Mortgage Loans or provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by
a
successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
The
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may
be a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer
of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data
and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may
be
required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability
for
the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.
The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer
assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated
Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such
assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the
terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and
warranties.
(c) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to
make
an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is
non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a
successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the
Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances
regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing
Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have
no
obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that
such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such
effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
129
| Section 9.08. |
Master
Servicer Liable for Enforcement.
|
Notwithstanding
any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Trustee and the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution
of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements. The
Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of
each
Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly
set
forth herein, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or
omissions of any Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations
under the related Servicing Agreement.
| Section 9.09. |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Any Servicer and Trustee or
Depositor.
|
Any
Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving any Servicer in its capacity
as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer,
the Seller and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee and the Depositor shall
not
be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, but
shall have rights thereunder as third party beneficiaries.
| Section 9.10. |
Assumption
of Servicing Agreement by Trustee.
|
(a) In
the
event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer
(including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), after a
period not to exceed ninety days after the issuance of any notice of termination
pursuant to Section 6.14 or Section 9.28, as applicable, the Trustee shall,
in
accordance with Section 6.14, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations
of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered
into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, its designee or any
successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same
extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party,
except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing
prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee,
and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against
all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations
of
the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its
performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are
created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions
of
the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master
Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Trustee against
negligent or willful misconduct of the Trustee.
130
(b) The
Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee
but
at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related
Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of
each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
| Section 9.11. |
Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Easements.
|
(a) To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, and to the extent that the Master
Servicer has knowledge of the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property, the Master
Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the
enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced
in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence,
a
Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability
in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
(b) The
Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to approve a request from a Mortgagor for the granting of an easement thereon
in
favor of another Person or any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged
Property if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment
in
the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan,
that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage
Loan would not be materially adversely affected thereby. Any fee collected
by
the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for processing such a request will
be retained by the Master Servicer or such Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
| Section 9.12. |
Release
of Mortgage Files.
|
(a) Upon
(i)
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will
be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall,
or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or
the
applicable Custodian) by a certification (which certification shall include
a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof have been or will be
so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C or on the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement) the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer
the
related Mortgage File; provided,
however,
that in
lieu of sending a hard copy certification of a Servicing Officer, the Master
Servicer may, or may cause, the Servicer to, deliver the request for release
in
a mutually agreeable electronic format, and to the extent that such a request,
on its face, originates from a Servicing Officer, no original signature shall
be
required. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Trustee),
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer
and
neither the Trustee nor the applicable Custodian shall have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in
full,
the Master Servicer is authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such
authority is provided for under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is
authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as
the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that
no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account.
131
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan
and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution
of
any such proceedings. The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee
or
the applicable Custodian, of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release the related Mortgage File held
in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the applicable
Servicer). Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or Servicer
to
return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as
applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or Servicer no longer
exists unless (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove
specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer)
or
(ii) the Mortgage File has been delivered directly or through a Servicer to
an
attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for
the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially,
and
the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Servicer to the Trustee
a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address
of
the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose of such delivery.
| Section 9.13. |
Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to
transmit, to the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are
required by the terms hereof or of the applicable Servicing Agreement to be
delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian. Any funds received by
the
Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which
otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or a Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held
for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master
Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the Master
Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement and to the right
of
each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in
the
related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and shall (to the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer to, provide
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee, its respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are
savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of
Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such
Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or
insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of
the
Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to
be
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it.
In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.
132
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer,
for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the
Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable
Servicing Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) The
Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of
this
Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller
to
the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such
Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held
by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are
collected by any Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage
Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full
or
partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and
proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which a Servicer
is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that
so
long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee or any
Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files,
and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession
or
custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer or
any
Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for and on behalf
of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the
Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
(d) The
Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer
to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited
in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any
funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim,
lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other
encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of
setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection
with, a Mortgage Loan.

Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master Servicer shall

insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting
the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement
and
that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted
loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional
insurance.
Pursuant
to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, or by any
Servicer, under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section
9.16
or any Servicing Agreement (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration
or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be
deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.02. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining
any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall
be
added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the
Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however,
that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be

| Section 9.17. |
Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
|
The
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement) to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee

to the Mortgage Loans, and take such actions (including the negotiation,
settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be
necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to
the
Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer)
in respect of such policies or bonds shall be promptly deposited in the
Collection Account or the Custodial Account upon receipt, except that any
amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the
related Mortgaged Property or related to the related Mortgagor in accordance
with the Master Servicer’s or related Servicer’s normal servicing procedures
need not be so deposited (or remitted).
| Section 9.18. |
Maintenance
of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (consistent
with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result
in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or such Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. To the extent that coverage is available, the
Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to keep in force and
effect, or to cause each Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent
that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance),
primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not knowingly permit any
Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates
and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees, to the extent provided in each Servicing Agreement,
to
cause each Servicer to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02.
137
| Section 9.19. |
Trustee
To Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
|
The
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall retain
possession and custody of the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies or certificate of insurance if applicable and any certificates of
renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated
by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the
Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has
fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause each Servicer to deliver to
the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian), upon the execution or receipt thereof
the
originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and any certificates of
renewal thereof, and such other documents or instruments that constitute
portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer from time to time.
| Section 9.20. |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause each
Servicer to, foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can
be
made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may take,
or
authorize any Servicer to take, other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage
Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the
Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in
order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or
permitting a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount
less
than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing
transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property),
(ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a
modification in accordance with Section 9.04. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion or action, the Master Servicer shall, consistent
with Section 9.18, follow such practices and procedures as it shall reasonably
determine to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders and which shall be consistent with its customary practices
in
performing its general mortgage servicing activities; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer
is
acting in connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion or action
in
a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Neither
the
Master Servicer, nor any Servicer, shall be required to expend its own funds
or
incur other reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or
attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or toward the correction of any
default on a related senior mortgage loan, or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
to
the Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or
charges and (ii) that such expenses and charges will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (as provided in Section
4.02).
138
| Section 9.21. |
Compensation
to the Master Servicer.
|
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account,
subject to Section 5.05, the Master Servicing Fee to the extent permitted by
Section 4.02. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any,
late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including
any
Prepayment Premium) shall be retained by the Master Servicer (or the applicable
Servicer) and shall not be deposited in the Collection Account. If the Master
Servicer does not retain or withdraw the Master Servicing Fee from the
Collection Account as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to
direct the Trustee to pay the Master Servicing Fee to such Master Servicer
by
withdrawal from the Certificate Account to the extent that payments have been
received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer
shall
be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided
in this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 4.01(e), all income and gain realized
from any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit
of the Master Servicer as compensation. The provisions of this Section 9.21
are
subject to the provisions of Section 6.14.
| Section 9.22. |
REO
Property.
|
(a) In
the
event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee,
or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or cause the applicable Servicer,
to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement any REO Property
as
expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, but in all events
within the time period, and subject to the conditions set forth in Article
X
hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer
shall protect and conserve, or cause the applicable Servicer to protect and
conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to such extent required by the
applicable Servicing Agreement, subject to Article X hereof.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all funds collected
and
received by it, or recovered from any Servicer, in connection with the operation
of any REO Property in the Collection Account.
(c) The
Master Servicer and each Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO
Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing
Fees or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with
the
final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that (without limitation
of
any other right of reimbursement that the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall
have hereunder) any such unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Net Master
Servicing Fees or Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may
be,
prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts
derived from such REO Property.
(d) The
Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of
any
payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above,
shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the Determination
Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer
in
immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate
Account on the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date.

Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account maintained

Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies to the Certificateholders
(unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with
such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s
failure to provide such statement)).
(b) Not
later
than two Business Days following each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to one Person designated by the Depositor, in a format consistent
with other electronic loan level reporting supplied by the Master Servicer

information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers or by
the
Depositor.
(c) All
information, reports and statements prepared by the Master Servicer under this
Agreement shall be based upon information supplied to the Master Servicer by
the
Servicer without independent verification thereof and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to rely on such information.

in
any such reports prepared by any such Servicing Function

Criteria and taken individually address the Relevant Servicing Criteria (and
disclose the inapplicability of the Servicing Criteria not determined to be
Relevant Criteria) for each party as set forth on Exhibit O and on any similar

shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee.
If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are

specifically set forth in this Agreement.
143
(b) No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Master Servicer
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or
its own willful misconduct; provided,

the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and, in absence of bad faith
on
the part of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely,

therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Master Servicer
and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) None
of
the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of any of them shall be under any liability to
the
Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from

any
of them 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 Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion
may
involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it
may
deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section
4.02.

Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and

ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be
as
designated in the Preliminary Statement. For
purposes of such designations, the interest rate of any regular interest that
is
computed by taking into account the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates
of the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by the amount of any expense paid by
the
Trust to the extent that (i) such expense was not taken into account in
computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan, (ii) such expense does
not
constitute an “unanticipated expense” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) the amount of such expense
was
not taken into account in computing the interest rate of a more junior Class
of
regular interests.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the

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

state the applicability of which to the Trust Fund shall have been confirmed
to
the Trustee in writing either by the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion
of
Counsel to such effect, or by delivery to the Trustee of a written notification
to such effect by the taxing authority of such state. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
(e) The
Trustee or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting
and
other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under
the

information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC
Provisions.
The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation from the Trust
Fund
for the performance of its duties under this subsection (e); provided,
however,
that
such compensation shall not exceed $5,000 per year; provided, further, that,
after a Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, any expenses incurred by the Trustee

REMIC
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary
to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer
nor
the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, within
their respective control, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take
(or
fail to cause to be taken) any action, within their respective control and
scope
of their duties, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as
the
case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee and
the
Master 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
result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any 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 Master
Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether
such
action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC,
and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any
such action as to which the Trustee or the Master Servicer has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
146
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent
that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall
pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or,
if
no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Collection
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular
interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.
(h) The
Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with
respect to each REMIC 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.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which
any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
(k) Upon
the
request of any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate
stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other than the
Trustee, the Trustee’s compliance with provisions of this Section
10.01.
(l) The
Trustee shall treat each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental
Interest Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holder of the Class X Certificates
and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the Class X
Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holder of the Class C Certificates and that
are
not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the
Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class X, Class LT-R, Class
R,
Class P and Class C Certificates) to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid
Basis Risk Shortfalls as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by
the
Class X Certificateholder in favor of the holders of such Certificates. Thus,
each Certificateholder (other than the Holders of the Class X, Class LT-R,
Class
R, Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only
ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest
in
an interest rate cap contract. Pursuant
to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of the Offered
Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution
Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution
Date
on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC 1 corresponding to such Class of
Certificates over
(ii)
the
amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest
collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent
that
interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate
Interest Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC 1 Net Funds Cap” for
“Net Funds Cap” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest
accrued for the related Accrual Period based on the Net Funds Cap, and a Class
I
Shortfall 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. However, any payment from the Offered Certificates
of a
Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received
by
the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in
the
Upper Tier REMIC 1 and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the
Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal
contract. For
tax
purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in
favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid
Basis Risk Shortfalls of $410,960 with respect to the Certificates as of the
Closing Date.
147
(m)
[Reserved]
(n) Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article 5 hereof or otherwise,
the Trustee shall account for all distributions with respect to a Class of
Certificates in amounts that differ from those payable pursuant to the REMIC
regular interest corresponding to such Class as amounts paid or received (as
appropriate) pursuant to the interest rate cap contracts provided for in this
Section. In no event shall any such amounts be treated as payments with respect
to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860G(a)(1).
| Section 10.02. |
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
None
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of,
or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant
to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund,
(iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement,
(iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless it 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) result in an Adverse
REMIC
Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates,
or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the
Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
| Section 10.03. |
Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
|
Upon
the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by
the
Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall
indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate or the Trust Fund,
as
applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action
or
inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Class X Certificateholder
or
the Holder of a Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual
Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee 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 or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out
of a negligent performance by the Trustee 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) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
148
| Section 10.04. |
REO
Property.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease,
or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property
which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master 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 result in an
Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided
in
its Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property
for
its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or
shall cause the applicable Servicer to, dispose of any REO Property within
three
years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer
period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Master Servicer has
received such an extension, then the Master Servicer, acting on the Trustee’s
behalf hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue
to
attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period
longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If
the Master Servicer has not received such an extension and the Master Servicer
or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable
to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund or if the Master Servicer has received such an extension, and the Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within
the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the
Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the end of the
three
year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase such REO
Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii)
auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the applicable
Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to
the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may
be.

(a) On
or

time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, but without
consent of the Swap Counterparty (except to the extent that the rights or
obligations of the Swap Counterparty hereunder or under the Swap Agreement,
respectively, are affected thereby or the ability of the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund to perform fully and timely its obligations under the Swap
Agreement is adversely affected, in which case prior written consent of the

Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to
conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with
respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any Offering
Document, or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be

Servicing Agreement, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters

imposed by the Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment effected
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
result in an Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant
to
clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material respect the

Counterparty shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Swap Counterparty (at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section.
Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material
respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce
the then current rating assigned to the Certificates.
(b) On
or
prior to a Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, this Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, but
without consent of the Swap Counterparty (except to the extent that the rights
or obligations of the Swap Counterparty hereunder or under the Swap Agreement,
respectively, are affected thereby or the ability of the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund to perform fully and timely its obligations under the Swap
Agreement is adversely affected, in which case prior written consent of the
Swap
Counterparty is required) with the consent of the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class
of
Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided,
however,
that no
such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment
may
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount, as applicable (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without
the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount, as applicable (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.
150
(c) After
a
Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event, this Agreement may be amended from time to
time
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the LTURI-holder and the Trustee but
without consent of the Swap Counterparty (except to the extent that the rights
or obligations of the Swap Counterparty hereunder or under the Swap Agreement,
respectively, are affected thereby or the ability of the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund to perform fully and timely its obligations under the Swap
Agreement is adversely affected, in which case prior written consent of the
Swap
Counterparty is required). Prior to entering into any amendment without the
consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall be provided
with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer (at
the
expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such
amendment is permitted under this Section and will not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event.
(d) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor,
the Swap Counterparty and to the Rating Agencies.
(e) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not
consent to any amendment of any Servicing Agreement unless (i) such amendment
is
effected pursuant to the standards provided in this Section with respect to
amendment of this Agreement and (ii) except for a Permitted Servicing Amendment,
any such amendment pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(iii) shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 11.03, this Agreement may be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee to
the
extent necessary, in the judgment of the Depositor and its counsel, to comply
with the Rules.

Transfer
of Servicing.
|
The
Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee thirty days prior to any proposed transfer or assignment by the
Seller of its rights under the Servicing Agreement or of the servicing
thereunder from time to time with respect to any Mortgage Loan or group of
Mortgage Loans, or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion
thereof to any other Person other than the initial Servicer under such Servicing
Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Seller shall not be required to provide prior notice of any transfer of
servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date to an
entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date. In addition, the ability of
the
Seller to transfer or assign its rights and delegate its duties under the
Servicing Agreement or to transfer the servicing thereunder, from time to time
with respect to any Mortgage Loan or group of Mortgage Loans, to a successor
servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) satisfaction
of the conditions to such transfer as set forth in the Servicing Agreement
including, without limitation, receipt of written consent of the Master Servicer
to such transfer;
(ii) Such
successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mac, and must be a member in good standing of MERS;
(iii) Such
successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer eligibility standards in
the
Servicing Agreement, exclusive of any experience in mortgage loan origination
and must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, whose approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld;
(iv) Such
successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor
servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and
condition to be performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the
applicable Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of servicing to
a
party that is already a Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement to
add
the related Mortgage Loans to the Servicing Agreement already in effect with
such Servicer;
(v) If
the
successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of the
transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a
letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing
will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current
rating of any of the Certificates; and
155
(vi) The
Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the
transferring Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate
to
effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the specified Mortgage
Loans to such successor or replacement servicer, including, but not limited
to,
the following: (A) to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans
and
by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, the Seller shall cause
the
prior Servicer to timely mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required
notices or disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage
Loans to the successor or replacement servicer; (B) prior to the effective
date
of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to
transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of servicing;
(C)
on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller
shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the successor or replacement
servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related records or materials;
(D)
on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller
shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the successor or replacement
servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Servicer Remittance Date but
before the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date, to the Trustee,
all
funds held by the prior Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) on or
prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall
cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of
servicing to the successor or replacement servicer, continue to forward to
such
successor or replacement servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the
amount of any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer,
and
to notify the successor or replacement servicer of the source and proper
application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the Seller shall cause
the
prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing to the
successor or replacement servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor
or
replacement servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such
extent as the successor or replacement servicer may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior Servicer shall be obligated to perform
the items listed above to the extent provided in the Servicing
Agreement.

any

and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of

Offered
Certificates, and we and any account for which we are acting are
