This
TRUST AGREEMENT (“Trust Agreement”), dated as of July 1, 2007 (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 LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, 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 Certificate Insurer, any NIMS Insurer and 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 Swap Agreement, (iii) the Swap Account,
(iv) the Cap Agreement, (v) the Cap Account, (vi) the Supplemental Interest
Trust, (vii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls, (viii) the Collateral
Account, (ix) the right to receive FPD Premiums and (x) 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 five real estate mortgage investment conduits
(each, a “REMIC”): Pooling REMIC 1, Lower-Tier REMIC 1, Middle-Tier REMIC 1,
Middle-Tier REMIC 2, and the Upper-Tier REMIC.
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.
Middle-Tier
REMIC 2 shall hold the uncertificated interests issued by Middle-Tier REMIC
1,
other than the MT1-R Interest, and shall issue several uncertificated interests.
Each such interest, other than the Class MT2-R Interest, is hereby designated
as
a REMIC regular interest. The Class MT2-R Interest is hereby designated as
the
sole residual interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 2.
The
Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold the uncertificated interests issued by Middle-Tier
REMIC 2, other than the Class MT2-R Interest. Each of the Offered Certificates
represents ownership of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC. Each
of the
Offered Certificates (other than the Class A-IO Certificates) also represents
the right to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls.
In
addition, each of the Offered Certificates represents the obligation
to pay
Class I Shortfalls. For federal income tax purposes, the Class XS Component
of
the Class X Certificates represents ownership of regular interests in
the
Upper-Tier REMIC and also represents the obligation to make payments
in respect
of Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls to the LIBOR
Certificates to the extent payable from Monthly Excess Cashflow. The
Class CX
and Class SX Components of the Class 1-X Certificates shall not represent
an
interest in any REMIC formed hereby. The Class P Certificates represent
ownership of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificate
represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier
REMIC as well as ownership of the Class LT1-R, Class MT1-R, and Class
MT2-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 Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan is
substituted
for such Mortgage Loan (the “Original Mortgage Loan”), no amount of interest
payable on such Qualifying 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.
2
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):

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

|
This
interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the
excess of

(5)
|
The
Class MT1-R interest is the sole class of residual interests
in
Middle-Tier REMIC 1. It does not have an interest rate or a
principal
balance.

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-A1-1, Class MT-A1-2, Class MT1-A2-1-1, Class
MT-A2-1-2,
Class MT-A2-2, Class MT1-A3, Class MT1-A4, Class MT1-M1, Class MT1-M2,
Class
MT1-M3, Class MT1-M4, Class MT1-M5, Class MT1-M6, Class MT1-M7, Class
MT1-M8,
Class MT1-M9 and Class MT1-M10 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-F59 and LT1-V59
Lower-Tier Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 on such Distribution Date
to the
Class MT1-Q Interest.

such component has a notional balance that will at all times
equal the
aggregate of the outstanding principal amounts of the Middle-Tier
Interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1, and, for each Distribution
Date (and the

Interest in
Middle-Tier REMIC 2 (other than the Class MT2-X and Class MT2-R Interests)
until
the principal balance of each such interest equals the Class Principal
Amount of
the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution
Date. Realized Losses shall be allocated among the interests in Middle-Tier
REMIC 2 in the same manner as principal is allocated.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to have distributed the
Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the MT1-Q Interest

LIBOR:
(a)
With respect to the first Accrual Period, the Initial LIBOR Rate. With

Determination Date in the following manner by the Trustee on the basis
of the
“Interest Settlement Rate” set by the British Bankers’ Association (the “BBA”)
for one-month United States dollar deposits, as such rates appear on
the Reuters
screen “LIBOR01,” as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination
Date.
(b) If
on
such a LIBOR Determination Date, the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate does not
appear on the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), or if the
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 is not available on such date, the Trustee will
obtain
such rate from the Bloomberg L.P. page “US0001M.” If any 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
the
Trustee and 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.
(c) The
establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation
of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates
and the
Interest-Only Certificates for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence
of
manifest error, will be final and binding.

of any tax from Net Swap Payment. The Trustee shall have no duty or
responsibility to enter into any other interest rate swap agreement or
interest
rate cap agreement upon the expiration or termination of the Swap Agreement
or
the Cap Agreement. To the extent that the Swap Counterparty or the Cap
Counterparty assigns rights or delegates its obligations under the Swap
Agreement or the Cap Agreement to a transferee, the Trustee shall act
only upon
the direction of the Depositor with respect to such transfer. In addition,
in
determining whether a firm offer is made, the Trustee shall act at the
direction
of the Depositor.
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 Servicing
Agreement and each Transfer Agreement (including the rights to enforce
the
related Transferor’s obligation to repurchase First Payment Default Mortgage
Loans), but only to the extent assigned under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement.
The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, 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.
62
Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Certificate Insurance Policy
shall be
delivered to the Trustee.
The
foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance
does not
and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by the Trustee
of
any obligations of the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection
with the Mortgage Loans.
It
is
agreed and understood by the Depositor and the Trustee (and the Seller
has so
represented and recognized in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement) that
it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Fund be (i)
a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico
Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High-Cost Home
Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act
effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the
Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005.
The
Depositor shall have the right to receive any and all loan-level information
regarding the characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans upon
request, and to publish, disseminate or otherwise utilize such information
in
its discretion, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
(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)

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

the
Trustee;
(iii)
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the original

original
recorded power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon. If, in

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

office, or, in the case of a Mortgage or power of attorney that has been
lost, a

jurisdiction) and a written Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee
and the
Depositor that an original recorded Mortgage or power of attorney is

if any,
relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as to any assumption, modification

Association, as Trustee of the Xxxxxx XS Trust Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2007-14H,” 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 Transferor,
or, in the
case of an Intervening Assignment that has been lost, a written Opinion
of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer that such original
Intervening Assignment is not required to enforce the Trustee’s interest in the
Mortgage Loan;
(vii)
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the original
mortgagee title insurance policy (or, in lieu thereof, a commitment to

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;
64
(x)
with
respect to any manufactured housing contract, any related manufactured
housing
sales contract, installment loan agreement or participation interest;
and
(xi)
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.
65
(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.
(f)
The
Depositor shall have the right to receive any and all loan-level information
regarding the characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans upon
request, and to publish, disseminate or otherwise utilize such information
in
its discretion, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

The
trust
created hereunder is hereby named “Xxxxxx XS Trust 2007-14H.”
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, the Certificate Insurer 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, the Certificate Insurer 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 Mortgage Loan 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.
66
(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, the
Certificate Insurer 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, the Certificate Insurer 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. The Trustee
is hereby
authorized and directed by the Depositor to appoint the Custodians and
to
execute and deliver the Custodial Agreements.
67
(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,
each
Servicing Agreement and the Bulk PMI Policies (or coverage thereunder).
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee
hereunder, to execute and deliver, concurrently with the execution and
delivery
of this Agreement, the Bulk PMI Policies, if applicable, and each Servicing
Agreement to which the Trustee is a party.

incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
(iii)
the
execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement

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

respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will
be
determined adversely to the Depositor and will if determined adversely

to perform
its obligations under this Agreement; and
68
(vi)
immediately
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
and sell each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only

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

(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, any Certificateholder or any NIMS Insurer 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), 1.04(b)(xvi)
and
1.04(b)(xvii) 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),
1.04(b)(xvi) and 1.04(b)(xvii) 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 Trustee further acknowledges
that 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.
69
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) of
the
Depositor 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, the Certificate Insurer 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; provided,
to
the extent that knowledge of such breach with respect to any Mortgage
Loan is
known by any officer, director, employee or agent of Aurora acting in
any
capacity other than as Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall not
be deemed to have knowledge of any such breach until an officer of the
Master
Servicer has actual knowledge thereof. Within 90 days of the discovery
of a
breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer 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 in the case of a First Payment
Default
Mortgage Loan, the FPD Purchase Price (excluding any FPD Premium)) 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, the Certificate Insurer and any NIMS Insurer.
As
provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, 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 (including the FPD Purchase Price (excluding the FPD Premium)
in
the case of any First Payment Default Mortgage Loan) received by the
Master
Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered
a
Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price or FPD Purchase Price (excluding
any
FPD Premium) 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
applicable
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 Certificate
Insurer, 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, the Certificate
Insurer,
any NIMS Insurer 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.
70
(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
granting language substantially comparable to that set forth in the first
paragraph of 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).
(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 and any NIMS Insurer has received
an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party
seeking
to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution
will not
cause 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
and
the Certificate Insurer 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.
71
(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 intermediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate 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 Notional Amount), or in the Percentage Interests, specified
herein.
Each Class of Offered Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations
in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interests
specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples
of $1 in
excess thereof. The 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.
(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 (or the applicable Custodian) 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. At any time and from time to time after the
execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates
executed
by Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement
provided and not otherwise.
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 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 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 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, any NIMS Insurer 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.
73
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 a Book-Entry Certificate 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 Notional 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.
(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 Notional 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.
74
(c)
By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security,
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. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i)
such
Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was,
at the
time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii)
such
Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under
the
Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution
compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale,
pledge
or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall
be made in
the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person
(each as
defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may
be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person
which the
seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such
Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional
buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance
on
Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation
S) in
compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance
with
the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee
of the
transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
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, 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 Securities 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.
(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, any Servicer 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,
any NIMS
Insurer or the Depositor.
75
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 any such 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 ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made prior
to the
termination of the Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreement 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 the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are
eligible
for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service
providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of
the Code,
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00,
XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, prior to the termination of the
Swap
Agreement and the Cap Agreement, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Trust Certificate 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 ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate prior
to the
termination of the Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreement, the transferee
will be
deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii)
of this
paragraph, as applicable.
If
any
ERISA-Restricted Trust 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
ERISA-Restricted Trust 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.
76
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to,
ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust 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”).
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, any NIMS Insurer 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 a Responsible Officer of 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, but not obligated, 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.
77
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 or the Certificate Registrar 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,
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate or
Residual
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.
Section
3.04. Cancellation
of Certificates.
Any
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be
cancelled and retained in accordance with the Trustee’s 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, the Authenticating
Agent and
any NIMS Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee
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 (or Notional
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.
78
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,
the
Certificate Insurer, any NIMS Insurer 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, any NIMS Insurer 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 (or Notional 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.
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.
79
(b)
Any
Paying Agent 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. For so long as the
Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements with respect
to the
Trust, the Paying Agent shall give prior written notice to the Sponsor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of the appointment of
any
Subcontractor by it and a written description (in form and substance
reasonably
satisfactory to the Sponsor and the Depositor) of the role and function
of each
Subcontractor utilized by the Paying Agent, as applicable, 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 provided by each such Subcontractor. In addition,
for
so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements

on the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency,
and no

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):
80
(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, the
Certificate
Insurer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing
Agency for
all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry

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.

longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with
respect

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

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

of the
amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account
in
accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21;

reimbursable to a Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the

for the
purchase of any Distressed Mortgage Loan under Section 7.04.
(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 Xxxxxx XS Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-14H.
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.
83
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 subclause (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

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;
(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;
84
(iv)
all
Advances made by the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(v)
to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable
by or

11.15 or
pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement;
(vi)
to
pay to
the Seller any Seller Remittance Amount;
(vii)
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 (or FPD Purchase Price), any FPD Premium, if any, (in
the case of
a First Payment Default Mortgage Loan), or any amounts paid by LBH for
shortfalls in the Purchase Price for repurchases of First Payment Default
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 1.04(f) of the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement
relating to the Seller paying the difference if the FPD Purchase Price
is less
than the Purchase Price;
(viii)
subject
to Section 4.01(e), to pay to itself income earned on the investment
of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;

to
make
payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any other provision
of
this Agreement;
(xii)
to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;

and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02;
(xiv)
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 or other successor master servicer
thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; and
85
(xv)
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 subclause (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 subclauses (i), (iii), (vi) and
(viii)
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 subclause (i), (iii), (vi) or (viii).

Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such information
and
documentation from such Servicer, and provide) to any NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer and such Certificateholder such reports and access

the Certificate Insurer and such Certificateholder may reasonably deem
necessary

Section
4.04. Certificate
Account.
(a)
The
Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, as trustee, a trust
account
(the “Certificate Account”) entitled “Certificate Account, LaSalle Bank National
Association, as Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Xxxxxx XS
Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-14H” 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
and the
Certificate Insurer, subject to the rights of the Trustee set forth herein.
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
Regular Interests issued hereunder and funds in the Certificate Account
shall be
held separate and apart from and shall not be commingled with any other
monies
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:
(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(f)(i)(D) hereof;
(ii)
to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
91
(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 and the Certificate Insurer 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 by the Trustee in
Eligible
Investments (which may be obligations of the Trustee or its affiliates).
If
invested, all such investments must be payable on demand or mature no
later than
the next Distribution Date (except with respect to such investments in
an amount
equal to the aggregate of any Net Swap Payments and any Swap Termination
Payments payable to the Swap Counterparty, such amount to mature no later
than
the next Swap Payment 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 for each Distribution Date 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 made by the Trustee
shall
be paid by the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account out of
its own
funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized.
Funds held in the Certificate Account may also be held uninvested.
ARTICLE

DISTRIBUTIONS
TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES
Section
5.01. Distributions
Generally.
(a)
On
each
Distribution Date, so long as the Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee
(or

the
Holders in accordance with this Article V; provided,
however,

the Pooling
REMIC 1 Regular Interests, the distributions related to the Pooling REMIC
1
Regular Interests shall be made in accordance with Section 5.02(k). Such
distributions shall be made by wire transfer if the Certificateholder
has
provided the Trustee (or the Paying Agent) with wire instructions or
by check
mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the
books of
the Trustee (or the Paying Agent) if the Certificateholder has not provided
the
Trustee (or the Paying Agent) 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, or by the Certificate Insurer, is to be made on a day that
is not a

Day. Payments to the Certificate Insurer shall in all cases be made by
wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by
the
Certificate Insurer.

Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee) shall make payments
to
Certificateholders and to the Swap Counterparty and any other person
pursuant to
this Article V and make deposits to the Supplemental Interest Trust and
accounts
held by it hereunder based solely on the information set forth in the
monthly
report furnished by the Master Servicer and/or the Swap Counterparty
and/or the
Cap Counterparty in accordance with Section 4.03(a), and shall be entitled
to
conclusively rely on such information and reports, and on the calculations
contained therein, when making distributions to Certificateholders, the
Swap
Counterparty and any other party hereunder. The Trustee shall have no
liability
for any errors in such reports or information, and shall not be required
to

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 than
Balloon
Payments) have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount
on the
Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date 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.
105
(b)
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Master Servicer
or any
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 Collection Account
and/or the Certificate Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this
Section
5.04 as if it were the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the
contrary, in no event shall the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee,
successor
servicer or successor master servicer) be required for any reason to
make an
Advance with respect to any Balloon Payment.
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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
Trustee
(in its capacity as Trustee or successor master servicer) be required
for any
reason to make Compensating Interest Payments.
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 LIBOR Certificates, 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. If the existing Basis Risk Reserve Fund ceases to be an Eligible

of
this Agreement shall remain on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund.

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

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 the earlier of (A) a Section 7.01(d)
Purchase Event or (B) a Trust Fund Termination Event and any funds remaining
in
such fund upon such termination shall be released to the X-S Component
of the
Class X Certificates.

shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate

Swap
Account into such new Swap Account.
(b)
In

shall
establish an account (the “Cap Account”), into which LBH shall initially deposit
$1,000. The Cap 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 monies, including, without limitation, other monies of the
Trustee
held pursuant to this Agreement. If the existing Cap Account ceases to
be an

Eligible Account within 20 Business Days and transfer all funds and investment
property on deposit in such existing Cap Account into such new Cap
Account.

establish an account (the “Collateral Account”), into which funds shall be
deposited pursuant to Section 5.07(h). The Collateral 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 monies, including,

5.02(g) or Section 5.02(m), as applicable
(k)
Upon
termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Collateral
Account
shall be distributed as required pursuant to the terms of Credit Support
Annex.
(l)
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 until
the date
when either (a) there is more than one holder of the Class X Certificates
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.
(m)
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 Supplemental
Interest Trust related to the Swap Agreement or the Cap Agreement, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest
Trust.
(n)
In
the
event that either the Swap Counterparty or the Cap Counterparty fails
to perform
any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement or the Cap Agreement,
respectively (including, without limitation, its obligations to make
any payment
or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties
under the Swap Agreement or the Cap Agreement, as applicable, or in the
event
that an Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination
Event
occurs (as such terms are defined in the Swap Agreement or the Cap Agreement,
as
applicable), the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust,
shall
(upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receiving written notice or
having
actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof), no later than the next Business
Day
following such failure, breach or occurrence, of which the Trustee has
actual
knowledge, notify the Swap Counterparty or Cap Counterparty, as applicable,
and
give any notice of such failure and make any demand for payment pursuant
to the
Swap Agreement or Cap Agreement, as applicable. In the event that the
Swap
Counterparty’s obligations under the Swap Agreement or the Cap Counterparty’s
obligations under the Cap Agreement are at any time guaranteed by a third
party,
then to the extent that the Swap Counterparty or the Cap Counterparty
fails to
make any payment or delivery required under terms of the Swap Agreement
or the
Cap Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receiving
written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof),
no later
than the next Business Day following such failure, demand that such guarantor
make any and all payments then required to be made by the applicable
guarantor.
109
Section
5.08. 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 (h), and any Swap Termination
Payment required pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (d), (f) and (h) into
the Swap
Account and to pay any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section
5.02(h)(i)
or 5.02(l), as applicable, or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant
to
Sections 5.02(h)(ii), Section 5.02(h)(viii) and Section 5.02(l), as applicable,
to the Swap Counterparty and (C) to establish and maintain the Swap 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
5.09. Termination
Receipts.
(a)
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)(x) or Section 5.02(l)
(“Termination Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing
account which shall be an Eligible Account established by the Trustee
(the “Swap
Termination Receipts Account”) and (ii) any amounts received from a replacement
Swap Counterparty (“Swap Replacement Receipts”) will be deposited in a
segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an Eligible Account
established by the Trustee (the “Swap Replacement Receipts Account”). Solely
upon written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall invest, or
cause to
be invested, funds held in the Swap Termination Receipts Account and
the Swap
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, as 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 Swap Termination Receipts
Account or the Swap 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)
or
procure a replacement guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee shall
promptly,
at the written direction of, and with the assistance and cooperation
of the
Depositor, use amounts on deposit in the Swap Termination Receipts Account,
if
necessary, to enter into replacement Swap Agreement(s) or to execute
any other
agreements with respect to such replacement guarantor, if applicable,
which
shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating
Agency (if
required pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement) that such replacement
Swap
Agreement(s) will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
of any
outstanding Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Class AIO Certificates)
with respect to which it is a Rating Agency.
110
Amounts
on deposit in the Swap 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 S-X Component of the Class X
Certificates.
(b)
In
the
event of an “Early Termination Event” as defined under the Cap Agreement, (i)
any Cap Termination Payment made by the Cap Counterparty to the Supplemental
Interest Trust and paid pursuant to Section 5.02(g)(v) (“Cap Termination
Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which
shall be an Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Cap Termination
Receipts Account”) and (ii) any amounts received from a replacement Cap
Counterparty (“Cap Replacement Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated
non-interest bearing account which shall be an Eligible Account established
by
the Trustee (the “Cap Replacement Receipts Account”). Solely upon written
direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall invest, or cause to be
invested,
funds held in the Cap Termination Receipts Account and the Cap 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, as 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 Cap Termination Receipts Account or the Cap
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 Cap Agreement(s)
or
procure a replacement guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee shall
promptly,
at the written direction of, and with the assistance and cooperation
of the
Depositor, use amounts on deposit in the Cap Termination Receipts Account,
if
necessary, to enter into replacement Cap Agreement(s) or to execute any
other
agreements with respect to such replacement guarantor, if applicable,
which
shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating
Agency (if
required pursuant to the terms of the Cap Agreement) that such replacement
Cap
Agreement(s) will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
of any
outstanding Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Class AIO Certificates)
with respect to which it is a Rating Agency.
111
Amounts
on deposit in the Cap Replacement Receipts Account shall be held for
the benefit
of the related Cap Counterparty and paid to such Cap Counterparty if
the
Supplemental Interest Trust is required to make a payment to such Cap
Counterparty following an event of default or termination event with
respect to
the Supplemental Interest Trust under the related Cap Agreement. Any
amounts not
so applied shall, following the termination or expiration of such Cap
Agreement,
be paid to the C-X Component of the Class X Certificates.
Section
5.10. The
Certificate Insurance Policy.
(a)
If,
on
the Business Day before any Distribution Date, the Trustee determines
that an
Insured Amount is required to be made by the Certificate Insurer on such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the amount of any such
Insured
Amount and shall give written notice to the Certificate Insurer by completing
a
Notice of Nonpayment in the form of Exhibit A to the Certificate Insurance
Policy and submitting such Notice of Nonpayment by 12:00 noon, New York
City
time on such Business Day as a claim for an Insured Amount. The Trustee’s
responsibility for delivering a Notice of Nonpayment to the Certificate
Insurer,
as provided in the preceding sentence, is subject to the availability,
timeliness and accuracy of the information provided to it by the Master
Servicer
in accordance with Section 4.03(a).
In
the
event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order of the appropriate
court
that any scheduled payment of principal or interest on a Insured Certificate
has
been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable
bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer
in
writing, as appropriate, and the fiscal agent, if any, and the Trustee
shall
make a claim on the Certificate Insurance Policy in accordance with the
provisions thereof to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of such
voided
scheduled payment. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all
Holders of
the Insured Certificates so affected that, in the event that any such
Holder’s
scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to payment
pursuant to the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy, a copy of
which shall
be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish
to
the Certificate Insurer and the appropriate fiscal agent, if any, its
records
listing the payments on the affected Insured Certificates, if any, that
have
been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the affected
Holders,
and the dates on which such payments were made by the Trustee.
(b)
At
the
time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes hereof, the Trustee
shall
establish the Policy Payments Account over which the Trustee shall have
exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Policy Payments Account
shall be an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid
under
the Certificate Insurance Policy into the Policy Payments Account and
distribute
such amount only for the purposes of making payments to Holders of the
Insured
Certificates in respect of the Insured Distributions (or other amounts
payable
pursuant to the second paragraph of subsection (a) above on the Insured
Certificates by the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the Certificate Insurance
Policy) for which the related claim was made under the Certificate Insurance
Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to Holders of
Insured
Certificates entitled to such payments in the same manner as principal
and
interest distributions are to be allocated with respect to such Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02. It shall not be necessary for such payments
to be made
by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers
used to
make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn from the Certificate
Account. However, any payments made on the Insured Certificates from
funds in
the Policy Payments Account shall be noted as provided in subsection
(e) below.
Funds held in the Policy Payments Account shall not be invested by the
Trustee.
112
(c)
Any
funds
received from the Certificate Insurer for deposit into the Policy Payments
Account pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy in respect of a
Distribution Date or otherwise as a result of any claim under such Certificate
Insurance Policy shall be applied by the Trustee directly to the payment
in full
(i) of the Insured Amounts due on such Distribution Date on the Insured
Certificates or (ii) of other amounts to which payments under the Certificate
Insurance Policy are to be applied. Funds received by the Trustee as
a result of
any claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be used solely
for
payment to the Holders of the Insured Certificates and may not be applied
for
any other purpose, including, without limitation, satisfaction of any
costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Any funds remaining
in
the Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day after each Distribution
Date (other than the final Distribution Date to the extent of funds remaining
in
the Policy Payments Account required to be paid to Holders of the Insured
Certificates) shall be remitted promptly to the Certificate Insurer pursuant
to
the written instruction of the Certificate Insurer.
(d)
The
Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect of (i) all
funds
remitted to the Trustee by the Certificate Insurer and deposited into
the Policy
Payments Account and (ii) the allocation of such funds to (A) payments
of
interest on and principal in respect of any Insured Certificates (B)
any Applied
Loss Amount allocated to the Insured Certificates and (C) payments in
respect of
Preference Amounts. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect
such
records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon three Business
Days’ prior notice to the Trustee. Any Insured Amounts disbursed by the Trustee
from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be considered
payment by
the Certificate Insurer and not by the Trust Fund with respect to the
Insured
Certificates and the Certificate Insurer will be entitled to receive
the related
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(iv), 5.02(d)(i)(C) or
5.02(d)(ii)(C), as applicable.
(e)
The
Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of a Insured Certificate by their
acceptance of such Certificate agree, that, without the need for any
further
action on the part of the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee, to the
extent the
Certificate Insurer pays Insured Amounts or Preference Amounts, directly
or
indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any such Class
of
Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to the
rights of
the Holders of such Class to receive the related Reimbursement Amount
pursuant
to Section 5.02(b)(iv), 5.02(d)(i)(C) or 5.02(d)(ii)(C), as applicable.
The
Holders of each Insured Certificate, by acceptance of their respective
Classes
of Certificates assign their rights as Holders of such Class of Certificates
to
the extent of the Certificate Insurer’s interest with respect to amounts paid
under the Certificate Insurance Policy. Each of the Depositor and Trustee
agrees
to such subrogation and, further agrees to execute such instruments and
to take
such actions as, in the sole judgment of the Certificate Insurer are
necessary
to evidence such subrogation and, subject to the priority of payment
provisions
of this Agreement, to perfect the rights of the Certificate Insurer to
receive
any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Insured Certificates under
this
Agreement or otherwise. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
solely
for purposes of determining the Certificate Insurer’s rights as subrogee for
payments distributable pursuant to Section 5.02, any payment with respect
to
distributions to the Insured Certificates that is made with funds received
pursuant to the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be
considered payment of such Class of Certificates from the Trust Fund
and shall
not result in the distribution or the provision for the distribution
in
reduction of the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Certificates
or Current
Interest thereon, within the meaning of Article V.
113
(f)
The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of either of the
following
as to which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement
of
any proceeding by or against the Depositor commenced under the Bankruptcy
Code
or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation
or
similar law (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) and (B) the making of any claim in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a
preferential transfer (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with
respect to the Insured Certificates. Each Holder of a Insured Certificate,
by
its purchase of its respective Class of Certificate, and the Trustee
hereby
agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer
Default
exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating
to a
Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim,
including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order
relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeas
or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation
of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the
rights of
the Trustee and each Holder of a Insured Certificate in the conduct of
any
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party
to an
adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in
connection
with any such Preference Claim.
(g)
The
Trustee shall surrender the Certificate Insurance Policy to the Certificate
Insurer for cancellation upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant
to
Article VII hereof.
ARTICLE
VI
CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section
6.01. Duties
of Trustee and Paying Agent.
(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, the Swap Counterparty
or the Cap 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 the Trustee shall notify the Person providing
such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
order
or other instrument of the non-conformity, and if the failure to provide
such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order
or other
instrument would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement,
the
Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders, the Certificate
Insurer 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, the Certificate
Insurer and any NIMS Insurer.
114
(c)
The
Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection
with this
Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. 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). 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;
(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 Corporate Trust Office,
and
such notice references the Holders and this Agreement or the Certificate
Insurer
under the Certificate Insurance Policy;
(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
115
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Master
Servicer,
any Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the Swap Counterparty,
the
Cap Counterparty, 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
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, the Certificate 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.
(g)
The
Trustee shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the
Collection Account, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Cap Account, the
Swap
Account or the Collateral Account 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
record,
file or deposit this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or
any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest,
or
to maintain any such recording or filing or depositing or any rerecording,
refiling or redepositing of any such statement or agreement, (B) to procure
or
maintain any insurance, (C) to pay or discharge 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 Cap Counterparty, 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.
116
(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, neither the Trustee nor the
Paying
Agent shall 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 or the Paying Agent, as applicable, has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action.
(k)
On
or
before March 15 of each calendar year for so long as the Depositor is
subject to
Exchange Act reporting requirements for the Xxxxxx XS Trust 2007-14H,

shall
deliver to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer
and the
Depositor a report regarding its assessment of compliance with the Servicing
Criteria applicable to such party, as identified on Exhibit O hereto,
as of and
for the period ending the end of the fiscal year ending no later than
December
31 of the year prior to the year of delivery of the report. Each such

disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance identified by such
party
and (d) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued
an
attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable

in Section 6.01(l). In the event that the Trustee and the Paying Agent
are the
same party, the Relevant Servicing Criteria of the Paying Agent shall
be
included in the Trustee’s report.. In addition, on or before March 15th of each
calendar year for so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act
reporting
requirements for the Xxxxxx XS Trust 2007-14H, beginning in March 2008,
the
Trustee and Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall, at their
own
expense, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Sponsor and the Depositor
an

(l)
On
or
before March 15th of each calendar year for so long as the Depositor

a
report to the effect that (A) it has obtained a representation regarding
certain
matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion
that such
party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (B) on the
basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
for
attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing
an
opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express
an
overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria made by the Trustee or Paying Agent pursuant
to
Section 6.01(k) above. In the event that the Trustee and the Paying Agent
are
the same party, the attestation report caused to be furnished by the
Trustee
shall also address the Relevant Servicing Criteria of the Paying
Agent.

this
Agreement, the Cap Agreement, the Swap Agreement, any Custodial Agreement,
any
Servicing Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate

or of
any Mortgage Loan, or related document save that the Trustee represents
that,
assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, this

its valid
and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms
except that such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy
and
insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the
rights
of creditors generally, and (B) general principles of equity regardless
of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of
funds paid to the Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the
Mortgage
Loans to the Trust Fund by the Depositor or for the use or application
of any
funds deposited into the Collection Account, the Certificate Account,
any Escrow
Account or any other fund or account maintained with respect to the
Certificates. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or
validity
of this Agreement, any Custodial Agreement, any Servicing Agreement,
the Cap
Agreement or the Swap Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection
or
sufficiency of the security for the Certificates or the Pooling REMIC
1 Regular
Interests issued or intended to be issued hereunder. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing

its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee
shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section, the

therefor by the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer, (ii) the Trustee shall
become

of any
Class of Certificates with a rating or (vi) the Trustee shall fail to

pursuant to Section 6.01(l) of this Agreement, the Trustee shall reimburse
the
Depositor for reasonable out-of pocket costs incurred by the Depositor
in
providing for a successor Trustee.
(c)
The
Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest)
of each Class of Certificates (or any NIMS Insurer in the event of failure
of
the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time upon
30 days’
written notice to the Trustee and the Depositor remove the Trustee by
such
written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact
duly
authorized (or by any NIMS Insurer), one copy of which instrument shall
be
delivered to the Depositor, one copy to the Trustee and one copy to each
of the
Master Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty, the Certificate

trustee

Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty, the
Cap
Counterparty, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and any NIMS
Insurer
and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee without any further
act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee (or its custodian) shall

under
each Custodial Agreement, to the extent permitted thereunder) all Mortgage
Files
and documents and statements related to each Mortgage File held by it
hereunder,
and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor
trustee
the entire Trust Fund, together with all necessary instruments of transfer
and
assignment or other documents properly executed necessary to effect such
transfer and such of the records or copies thereof maintained by the
predecessor
trustee in the administration hereof as may be requested by the successor
trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer and the predecessor

other
things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest
and
confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
(b)
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
unless at
the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the
provisions of Section 6.05.
(c)
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section,
the predecessor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee

Upon
the
resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07,

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

Act).
122
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 obligation of the Trustee (acting as successor master
servicer) to make an Advance pursuant to Section 5.04 and 6.14 hereof
shall not
be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-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,
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;
123
(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.
124
(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 arising out of or based upon the 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.
(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.
125
Section
6.11. Indemnification
of Trustee.
The
Trustee, including in its individual capacity, 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, 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 Cap 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, the Certificate Insurer, any NIMS Insurer 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, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer
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, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer,
which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The
Trustee shall be further indemnified by the Seller for and held harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection
with,
the provisions set forth in the sixth paragraph of Section 2.01(a) hereof,
including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself
against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating
to the
provisions of such paragraph.
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.
Section
6.12. Fees
and Expenses of Trustee and Custodians.
126
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 indemnification
amounts 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

(ix)
If

affects the interests of the Certificateholders, and the circumstance
or
condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect

later
than 12:00 p.m. New York City 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 (xii) 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; and provided,
further,
that
the obligation to make Advances by the Trustee in its capacity as successor
master servicer shall be effective upon the Trustee providing notice
of the
termination to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.14. 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 or its designee 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 as a result
of an
Event of Default (or the Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable
to fulfill
its obligations hereunder) 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.
129
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 master
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 Trust Fund 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 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 any NIMS Insurer,
the
Certificate Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty 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 to the Trustee 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
prior to
the issuance of any notice of termination and within a period of time
not to
exceed 90 days after the issuance of written notice of termination pursuant
to
Section 6.14(a) or Section 9.28 or for any breach of representation or
warranty
by such predecessor 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.
130
(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.
Such successor master servicer shall have no responsibility for any act
or
omission of the Master Servicer prior to such successor’s assumption of the
Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and such successor master
servicer shall also have no liability relating to the representations
and
warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. 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 or 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, the Certificate
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.
Section
6.16. Waiver
of Defaults.
More
than
50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Certificateholders (with the
consent of
any NIMS Insurer) may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that
a default
in the making of any required deposit to the Certificate Account that
would
result in a failure of the Trustee to make any required payment of principal
of
or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of
100% of
the affected Certificateholders and with the consent of any NIMS Insurer.
Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist,
and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied
for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the
extent
expressly so waived.
Section
6.17. Notification
to Holders.
Upon
termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the
Master
Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly
mail
notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their
respective
addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, any NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer, the Cap Counterparty and the Swap Counterparty.
The Trustee
shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
known to
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give written notice thereof to
any NIMS
Insurer and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall
have been
cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such
45-day
period.

6.18.

Default.

Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of any
Event of
Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class
Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected
thereby may, with the consent of any NIMS Insurer, direct 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;
provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to
exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including,
without
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
8.01,
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.
132
Section
6.19.
|
Action
Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event
of
Default.
|
In
the
event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge
of
any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event
of
Default upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the
Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer,
the
Certificate Insurer, the Cap Counterparty and the Swap Counterparty.
For all
purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any
failure of the Master Servicer or any other Event of Default unless notified
in
writing by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer,
the Swap
Counterparty or the Certificateholders.
Section
6.20.

the

the Trustee, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
(ii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft
copy
of the Form 10-D to the Exchange Act Signing Party for review and approval.
If

to
the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such
parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties
under this Section 6.20(d). The Trustee shall have no liability for any
loss,
expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure
to properly
prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results
from the
Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare or file such
Form
10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Trustee shall not be responsible (1) for the content of any of the
information provided pursuant to clauses (d)(i)(A) - (I) above (unless
such item
is provided by and specific to the Trustee or its Subcontractor, in which
case
the Trustee will be responsible for the content of such information;
provided
that
such information is not revised without the prior consent of the
Trustee),
(2)
for determining whether any such information is required to be included
in any
Form 10-D (unless such information is specific to the Trustee, in which
case the
Trustee shall be responsible for making such a determination), (3) for
reformatting any information that is not in a form suitable for conversion
to
the format required for filing with the Commission via XXXXX so that
it is able
to be filed on XXXXX or (4) for the failure to include any information

not provided to the Trustee on a timely basis (unless such item is specific
to
the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for the failure
to

such information is not included in the final Form 10-D without the consent
of
the Trustee).

The
Trustee has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance
by the parties listed on Exhibit Q of their duties under this paragraph
or
proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form

Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with
including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to
this
Section 6.20(d).

to such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” At the date of filing of each annual

deemed to represent to the Trustee that as of such date, the Depositor
has filed
all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that is

S-K and
the Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, and Compliance Statement

to be
included on Form 10-K (“Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure”)
shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit R to the Depositor and
the
Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following
paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
to the
extent that such information is required to be provided by a party other
than
the Trustee, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
(ii) After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft
copy
of the Form 10-K to the Exchange
Act Signing Party for review and approval. If the Master
Servicer is
the
Exchange Act Signing Party and the Form 10-K includes Additional Form
10-K
Disclosure, then the Form 10-K shall also be electronically distributed
to
the
Depositor for review and approval. No later than the close of business
New York
City time on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline,
a senior
officer of the Exchange
Act Signing Party
shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such

Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight
mail) to
the Trustee.
If a
Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K
needs to be
amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in subsection
(g) of
this Section 6.20. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after
filing
with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet
website a
final executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Trustee. The parties
to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties
under
this Section 6.20(e) related to the timely preparation and filing of
Form 10-K
is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing
Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in
the
performance of their duties under this Section 6.20(e), Section 9.25(a),
Section
9.25(b) and Section 9.26. The Trustee shall have no liability for any
loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure
to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure
results
from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange
for
execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall not be responsible (1)
for the
content of any of the information provided pursuant to clauses (e)(i)(A)
- (H)
above (unless such item is provided by and specific to the Trustee or
its
Subcontractor, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for the
content of
such information; provided
that
such information is not revised without the prior consent of the
Trustee),
(2)
for determining whether any such information is required to be included
in any
Form 10-K (unless such information is specific to the Trustee, in which
case the
Trustee shall be responsible for making such a determination), (3) for
reformatting any information that is not in a form suitable for conversion
to
the format required for filing with the Commission via XXXXX so that
it is able
to be filed on XXXXX or (4) for the failure to include any information
if it is
not provided to the Trustee on a timely basis (unless such item is specific
to
the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for the failure
to
include such information, unless
such information is not included in the final Form 10-K without the consent
of
the Trustee).
137
The
Trustee has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance
by the parties listed on Exhibit R of their duties under this paragraph
or
proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form
10-K
Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with
including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to
this
paragraph.
(iii) Unless
a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund has been
filed,
if so requested, on or prior to March 15th
of each
year, beginning in March 2008, the Trustee shall sign a certification
in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Back-up Certification”) for the benefit
of the Exchange Act Signing Party and the Person who signs the Form 10-K
Certification (the “Certifying Party”) regarding certain aspects of such Form
10-K Certification, upon which the Exchange Act Signing Party and the
Certifying
Party can reasonably rely (provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of, and shall
have no
responsibility for, any financial information, the accountant’s report,
certification or other materials contained therein, except for those
computations prepared by the Trustee and reflected in the distribution
report).
Nothing in this Section 6.20(i) shall relieve the Trustee of its responsibility
for the matters as to which it is certifying in the form attached hereto
as
Exhibit M.
138
(iv) Form
10-K
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject
to such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby directs the
Trustee to check “yes” with respect to both clauses (1) and (2) above. The
Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than the 15th
calendar
day of March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, if the answer to either of clause (1)
or
clause (2) above is “no.” The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such
direction in preparing and/or filing any such Form 10-K.
(v) Each
person (including their officers or directors) that signs any Form 10-K
Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund
for any
liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such certification,
other
than any liability or expense attributable to such Person’s own bad faith,
negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this subsection shall
survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal
of such
Person.

be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit S to the Depositor and
the
Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following

by the
Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.20(f) related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this
Section 6.20(f). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare
and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the
Trustee’s
inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information
from any other party hereto needed to prepare or file such Form 8-K,
not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The
Trustee

provided
pursuant to clauses (f)(i)(A) - (J) above (unless such item is provided
by and
specific to the Trustee or its Subcontractor, in which case the Trustee
will be
responsible for the content of such information; provided
that
such information is not revised without the prior consent of the
Trustee),
(2)
for determining what information is required to be filed on a Form 8-K
in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless
such
information is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will
be
responsible for making such a determination, unless
such information is not included in the final Form 8-K without the consent
of
the Trustee),
(3)
for reformatting any information that is not in a form suitable for conversion
to the format required for filing with the Commission via XXXXX so that
it is
able to be filed on XXXXX or (4) for any late filing of a Form 8-K in
the event
that it does not receive all information, data, signatures and exhibits
required
to be provided or filed on or prior to the second Business Day prior
to the
applicable filing deadline. The Trustee has no duty under this Agreement
to
monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit S
of their
duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such
parties
any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred
by the
Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information
on Form
8-K pursuant to this paragraph.

Amendments; Late Filings.

to
January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under
applicable law, unless otherwise directed by the Depositor in writing,
the
Trustee shall prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension
of
reporting in respect of the Trust Fund under the Exchange Act. The Paying
Agent
is entitled to assume that a Form 15 will be filed for such year unless
the
Trustee notifies the Paying Agent that a Form 15 will not be filed.
(ii) In
the
event that the Trustee becomes aware that it will be unable to timely
file with
the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information
was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery
deadlines
set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee will
immediately notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K,
the parties
to this Agreement and each Servicer will cooperate to prepare and file
a Form
12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25
of
the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt
of all
required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction
of
the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D.
In the
event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended,
the
Trustee will notify the Depositor and any applicable party affected thereby
and
such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A
or
10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K
shall be signed by a senior officer or a duly authorized representative,
as
applicable, of the Exchange Act Signing Party. The parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this
Section
6.20(g) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form
12b-25
or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such
party
performing its duties under this Section. The Trustee shall have no liability
for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect
to any
failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form
12b-25 or
any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results
from the
Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution
or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D
or 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
141
(h)
The
Trustee, with the prior consent of the Depositor, may include in any
Exchange
Act report all relevant information, data, and exhibits as the Trustee
may
receive in connection with such report irrespective of any provision
that may
permit the exclusion of such material. For example, the Trustee, with
the prior
consent of the Depositor, may file all Assessments of Compliance, Attestation
Reports and Compliance Statements timely received from any Item 1122
Responsible
Party irrespective of any applicable minimum pool asset percentage requirement
for disclosure related to such Item 1122 Responsible Party.
(i)
Any
party
that signs any Exchange Act report that the Trustee is required to file
shall
provide to the Trustee prompt notice of the execution of such Exchange
Act
report along with the name and contact information for the person signing
such
report and shall promptly deliver to the Trustee the original executed
signature
page for such report. In addition, each of the parties agrees to provide
to the
Trustee such additional information related to such party as the Trustee
may
reasonably request, including evidence of the authorization of the person
signing any certification or statement, financial information and reports,
and
such other information related to such party or its performance
hereunder.
(j)
The
Depositor and the Master Servicer, by mutual agreement, shall determine
which of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be the initial Exchange Act
Signing
Party. Upon such determination, the Depositor shall timely notify the
Trustee,
and such notice shall provide contact information for the Exchange Act
Signing
Party. If the Depositor and Master Servicer, at any time, mutually agree
to
change the identity of the Exchange Act Signing Party, the Depositor
shall
provide timely notice to the Trustee of any such change. Any notice delivered
pursuant to this Section 6.20 may be by fax or electronic copy notwithstanding
the notice provisions of Section 11.07.
Section
6.21. Compliance
with Regulation AB.
Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections
6.01 and
6.20 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Sponsor, the
Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee with the provisions of Regulation
AB, as
such may be amended or clarified from time to time. Therefore, each of
the
parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall
be
interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation
AB, (b)
the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as
necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice
or
guidance from the Commission, convention or consensus among active participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, or otherwise in respect of the
requirements of Regulation AB and (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable
requests made by the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Trustee
for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent such
information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Sponsor, the
Master
Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee may determine in good faith is
necessary
to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

of Mortgage Loans; Termination of the Trust Fund Upon Purchase
or
Liquidation of Mortgage Loans; Purchase of the Pooling REMIC
1 Regular
Interests.
|
(a)
The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Master
Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to
make
payments to Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty as set forth
in Section
7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance
to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01, and the obligations of the Master Servicer
to
the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.10 and 9.14) with respect to the Mortgage
Loans shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Mortgage Pool
and the
disposition of all related REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property
held by
the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(b) and (iii) the Latest
Possible
Maturity Date (each, a “Trust Fund Termination Event”); provided,
however,
that in
no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx
X.
Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James’s,
living on the date hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination
Event, each REMIC shall be terminated in a manner that shall qualify
as a
“qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel provided to the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund.
(b)
On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination
Date,
the Master Servicer or the LTURI-holder, as applicable, with the prior
written
consent of any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Seller (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) has the option to purchase
the
Mortgage Loans and any related REO Property for the Pool Purchase Price
upon
written direction to the Trustee (delivered no later than 30 days prior
to the
anticipated sale date); provided,
however,
if
there are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only
exercise
its option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of
such NIM
Securities and, if such consent is given, the Pool Purchase Price shall
also
include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the
NIM
Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities
and (3)
any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities
(the
“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 and each Servicer (and 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 any Servicer or the related Servicing Agreement, together with
any accrued and unpaid compensation and any other amounts due to the
Certificate
Insurer, 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
Master Servicer fails to exercise such option, the NIMS Insurer will
have the
right to cause the Master Servicer to exercise such option, to the extent
provided in the insurance agreement related to the NIM Securities among
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, so long as such NIMS
Insurer
is insuring the NIM Securities or is owed any amounts in connection with
such
guaranty of the NIM Securities. 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
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 the 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.

(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.
144
The
Trust
Fund will terminate upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination Event,
in
accordance with Section 7.01(a).

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 related Certificates,
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.
145
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
related
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 related 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.
(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.

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

shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement

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

at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.
(c)

and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
any
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee, that none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer, 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.

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.

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

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

furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer. Any
amounts
relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under

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
151
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
Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders under this Agreement.
The Master
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf
of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of
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 or administer 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 no event shall the Master
Servicer, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit
or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master
Servicer in its
152
applicable,
representative capacity, so long as the jurisdictional and procedural
rules will
allow for this insertion to occur, (ii) initiate any action, suit or
proceeding
not directly relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan (including
but not
limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders,
or against
the Depositor or the Transferor for breaches of representations and warranties)
solely under the Trustee’s name, (iii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee
in any action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing
of a
Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings
against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Transferor
for
breaches of representations and warranties), or (iv) prepare, execute
or deliver
any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents
or take
any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee
to be
registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify
the
Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the
Trustee
in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of
attorney by
the Master Servicer. 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 on behalf
of the
Trust Fund, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
(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,
except as set forth below (ii) extend the due dates for payments due
on a
Mortgage Note; provided,
however,
that
the maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the Final
Scheduled
Distribution Date of the Certificates (other than the Class AIO Certificates,
which is February 2047. In the event of any such modification, the Master
Servicer shall calculate the Scheduled Payment for such Mortgage Loan
based on
the modified terms of the Mortgage Loan and shall only be required to
make
Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 to the extent of the new Scheduled
Payment. 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 related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable,
(2) in the case of a waiver of a Prepayment Premium, (a) such Mortgage
Loan is
in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable
judgment of
the Master Servicer or the related 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 and (b) if the
prepayment is not the result of a refinance by the related Servicer or
any of
its affiliates, (i) the collection of the Prepayment Premium would be
in
violation of applicable law or (ii) 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) such
modification, waiver or amendment would not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event.
153
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.
(c)
The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer 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 or the Trust Fund, 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, notifications,
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.
154
(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 of 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.
155
(c)
If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor servicer, it will have the same obligations
to made Advances as the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement
and to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Advances if required by the Servicing
Agreement but 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 and
any NIMS Insurer.
Section
9.08. Master
Servicer Liable for Enforcement.
Notwithstanding
any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
liable
to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer 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 Certificate Insurer and any NIMS
Insurer.
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, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer 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. It is furthermore understood and agreed by
the
parties hereto that the obligations of any Servicer are set forth in
their
entirety in such Servicer’s related Servicing Agreement and such Servicer has no
obligations under and is not otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
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 any NIMS Insurer, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trustee and any NIMS Insurer from and against all costs, damages, expenses
and
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or
any NIMS Insurer as a result of such liability or obligations of the
Master
Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s (or other successor master
servicer’s) assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs
or liability of the Trustee (or other successor master servicer’s) 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.
156
(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 collectibility 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.
157
(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.
(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 request for release of documents and a
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.

(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

request and during normal business hours, (ii) to the Certificate Insurer
and
(iii) to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks
or
insurance companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and

so
required by applicable regulations of the OTS or such 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.
(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.
159
(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.

Hazard and Flood Insurance Policies.
For
each
Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master Servicer shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained by each Servicer, standard fire and
casualty
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.
162
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
recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section
4.02.
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, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders all claims
under the
Insurance Policies with respect 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 cause each Servicer to remit (with respect to any
Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy) or shall remit on behalf of each Servicer
to the PMI
Insurer, the applicable PMI Insurance Premiums and provide monthly Mortgage
Loan
balance updates to the related PMI Insurers. 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.
163
(b)
The
Master Servicer agrees, to the extent provided in each Servicing Agreement,
to
cause each Servicer to present, on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer 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.
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 Certificate
Insurer 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).
164
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 additional 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.
165
(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.
Section
9.23. Notice

Depositor

(Item
1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB) along with all information, data, and materials
related thereto as may be required to be included in the related Distribution
Report on Form 10-D. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 9.23(b)
related to the timely preparation and delivery of such information is
contingent
upon each applicable Servicer strictly observing all requirements and
deadlines
in the performance of their duties under their related Servicing Agreements.
The
Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage
or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely
deliver all such information where such failure results from the Master
Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from the Servicer needed to prepare or deliver such information,
which failure does not result from the Master Servicer’s own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
Section
9.24. Reports
to the Trustee.
(a)
Not
later
than 30 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall,
upon
request, forward to the Trustee a statement, deemed to have been certified
by a
Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account
maintained

or by the
Depositor.

All

this
Agreement shall be based upon information supplied to the Master Servicer

the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with

to act or
its own willful misconduct; provided,
however,

the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer shall be determined
solely by
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

taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant
to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer, the Seller or the
Depositor or any such person against any liability that would otherwise
be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
its
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its
obligations
and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Seller and
the
Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them
shall be
entitled to indemnification by the Trust Fund and will be held harmless
against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal
action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates other than any loss, liability
or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence

Servicer,
the Seller and the Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent
of 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

REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
Section
10.01. REMIC
Administration.
(a)
REMIC
elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on
Forms 1066
or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable
year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates
are
issued. 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), (iii) such expense does not relate to an Excluded
Trust
Asset and (iv) 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
meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity
date for
purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible
Maturity Date.
(c)
The
Trustee shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto. The Trustee shall pay any and all tax
related
expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited
to any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative
or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that
(i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine
audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii)
such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable
to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties
hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Trustee
shall be
entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause
(i) above
from the Certificate Account; provided,
however,
the
Trustee shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred
in
connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required
by
Section 6.20 and this Section.
(d)
The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of each REMIC’s federal and applicable
state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. As used
herein, applicable state tax and information returns shall mean returns
as may
be required by the laws of any 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.
172
(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
Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the
Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other
duties,
if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance,
the
Trustee shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority
such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to
the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization
pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated
in
Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders such
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 in
connection with such Section 7.01(d) Purchase Event shall be reimbursed
to the
Trustee, regardless of the limitation set forth above, in accordance
with
Section 4.04(b).
(f)
The
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take
any
action, within their respective control and scope of their duties, or
cause any
REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of
any 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,
any NIMS
Insurer 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, any NIMS Insurer 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, the Master Servicer or any NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing
that
an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(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 Certificate
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular
interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.
173
(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, the Cap Account
and the
Swap 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 X Certificates
and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat each Certificate
(other than the Class X, Class LT-R, Class R and Class P Certificates)
as
representing not only ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but
also
ownership of an interest in a notional principal contract entered into
with the
Class X Certificateholders. The rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates
to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls shall
be
treated as rights in such notional principal contract. Pursuant to each
such
notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of the Certificates
(other
than the Class P, Class X, Class LT-R and Class R 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 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 Net Funds Cap” for “the Net Funds Cap” in
the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the
related
Accrual Period based on the applicable 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 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 $45,000 as of the Closing Date.
(m)
[Reserved]
174
(n)
Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article V hereof or
otherwise,
the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as
set forth
in this Section 10.01. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls
or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 10.01 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 the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer have 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
pursuant to
this Section 10.03 (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). In addition, the Trustee shall not
have any
liability for the actions or failure to act of any other party hereto.
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 and
any NIMS
Insurer 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.
175
(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 the extent provided in its Servicing
Agreement) 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.

the
Certificate Insurer and any NIMS Insurer receives an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Certificate Insurer
and any
NIMS Insurer, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that
such
change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and is permitted hereunder;
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

written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor,
the Swap Counterparty, the Certificate Insurer, any NIMS Insurer and
to the
Rating Agencies.
(e)
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03

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

of its
rights under the Servicing Agreement or of the servicing thereunder from

servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date
to an
entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date or (ii) any assignment

to a
successor servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:

182
(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, the Certificate Insurer
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 (without
regard
to the Certificate Insurance Policy with respect to the Insured Certificates);
and
(vi) The
Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the

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

Agreement.

Dear
Sirs:
In
connection with our proposed purchase of $______________ principal amount
of
Xxxxxx XS Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-14H (the
“Privately Offered Certificates”) of the Structured Asset Securities Corporation
(the “Depositor”), we confirm that:
(1)
|
We
understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not
been, and will
not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the
“Securities Act”), and may not be sold except as permitted in the
following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf
of any
accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that
if we should
sell any Privately Offered Certificates within two years of
the later of
the date of original issuance of the Privately Offered Certificates
or the
last day on which such Privately Offered Certificates are owned
by the
Depositor or any affiliate of the Depositor we will do so only
(A) to the
Depositor, (B) to “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in accordance with Rule
144A under the
Securities Act (“QIBs”), (C) pursuant to the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D) to an
institutional
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that is not a
QIB (an
“Institutional Accredited Investor”) which, prior to such transfer,
delivers to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement dated as
of July 1, 2007
(the “Trust Agreement”) by and among the Depositor, Aurora Loan Services
LLC, as Master Servicer, and LaSalle
Bank National Association,
as Trustee (the “Trustee”), a signed letter in the form of this letter;
and we further agree, in the capacities stated above, to provide
to any
person purchasing any of the Privately Offered Certificates
from us a
notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Privately
Offered
Certificates are restricted as stated
herein.
|
(2)
|
We
understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of
any Privately
Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
we will be
required to furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a certification
from
such transferee in the form hereof to confirm that the proposed
sale is
being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction
not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We
further
understand that the Privately Offered Certificates purchased
by us will
bear a legend to the foregoing
effect.
|
(3)
|
We
are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment
purposes
and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection
with, any
distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such
knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of
evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Privately
Offered
Certificates, and we and any account for which we are acting
are each able
to bear the economic risk of such
investment.
|
G-1
(4)
|
We
are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring
the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own
account or for
one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment
discretion.
|
(5)
|
We
have received such information as we deem necessary in order
to make our
investment decision.
|
(6)
|
If
we are acquiring ERISA-Restricted Certificates, we understand
that in
accordance with ERISA, the Code and the Exemption, no Plan
and no person
acting on behalf of such a Plan may acquire such Certificate
except in
accordance with Section 3.03(d) of the Trust
Agreement.
|
Terms
used in this letter which are not otherwise defined herein have the respective
meanings assigned thereto in the Trust Agreement.
You
and the Depositor are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably
