65
“Uninsured Cause”: Any cause of damage to property subject to a Mortgage such that the complete restoration of such property is not fully reimbursable by the hazard insurance policies or flood insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.13.
“United States Person”: A citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or a partnership (including an entity treated as a corporation or partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia (except, in the case of a partnership, to the extent provided in regulations) provided that, for purposes solely of the restrictions on the transfer of Class R Certificates, no partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes shall be treated as a United States Person unless all persons that own an interest in such partnership either directly or through any entity that is not a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes are required by the applicable operative agreement to be United States Persons or an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more such United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. To the extent prescribed in regulations by the Secretary of the Treasury, which have not yet been issued, a trust which was in existence on August 20, 1996 (other than a trust treated as owned by the grantor under subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code), and which was treated as a United States person on August 20, 1996 may elect to continue to be treated as a United States person notwithstanding the previous sentence.
“Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount”: For each Class of Offered Certificates and the Class 1-B Certificates, and any Distribution Date, the amount, if any, by which (a) the sum of (1) the Monthly Interest Distributable Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date and (2) the outstanding Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for such Class for the immediately preceding Distribution Date exceeds (b) the aggregate amount distributed on such Class in respect of interest pursuant to clause (a) of this definition on such Distribution Date, plus interest on the amount of Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount due but not paid on such Class on the immediately preceding Distribution Date, to the extent permitted by law, at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class for the related Accrual Period.
“Voting Rights”: The portion of the voting rights of all of the Certificates which is allocated to any Certificate. At all times during the term of this Agreement, (i) [98]% of all Voting Rights will be allocated among the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Subordinate Certificates and the Class C Certificates in proportion to the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of their respective Certificates, (ii) [1]% of all Voting Rights will be allocated to the Holders of the Class P Certificates and (iii) [1]% of all Voting Rights will be allocated to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. The Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates shall be allocated among all Holders of the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the outstanding Percentage Interests in such Class represented thereby.
66
Section 1.02. Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for any Accrual Period will be determined on each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date.
On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, LIBOR shall be established by the Trustee and, as to any Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the [Telerate Screen Page 3750] as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. [“Telerate Screen Page 3750”] means the display designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The “Reference Bank Rate” will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates then outstanding. The Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded up to the next multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Servicer, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month. If no such quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third consecutive Distribution Date, the Trustee shall select an alternative comparable index after consultation with the Servicer (over which the Trustee has no control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Servicer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date. Furthermore, the Trustee will supply to any Certificateholder so requesting by telephone the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding Accrual Period.
67
Section 1.03. Allocation of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
For purposes of calculating the amount of the Monthly Interest Distributable Amount for the Class A Certificates, the Subordinate Certificates and the Class C Certificates for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the related Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, among the related Class C Certificates, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the related Notional Balance of each such Certificate and, thereafter, among the Class A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates on a pro rata basis, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Pass-Through Rates on the respective Certificate Principal Balances of each such Certificate.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of Loan Group 1 shall be allocated first, to REMIC 1 Regular Interests ending with the designation “B” and REMIC 1 Regular Interests OC and P, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest, and then, to REMIC 1 Regular Interests ending with the designation “A”, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of Loan Group 2 shall be allocated first, to REMIC 2 Regular Interests ending with the designation “B” and REMIC 2 Regular Interests OC and P, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 2 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 2 Regular Interest, and then, to REMIC 2 Regular Interests ending with the designation “A”, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 2 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 2 Regular Interest.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 3 Group 1 Regular Interests (other than REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-IO) for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Loan Group 1 for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-AA and REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 3 Group 1 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, [98]% and [2]%, respectively, and thereafter among REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-AA, each REMIC 3 Group 1 Regular Interest for which a Class 1-A, Class 1-M, Class 1-B or Class 1-P Certificate is the Corresponding Certificate and REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-ZZ, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 3 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 3 Regular Interest.
68
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 3 Group 2 Regular Interests (other than REMIC 3 Regular Interest 2-IO) for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Loan Group 2 for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC 3 Regular Interest 2-AA and REMIC 3 Regular Interest 2-ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 3 Group 2 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, [98]% and [2]%, respectively, and thereafter among REMIC 3 Regular Interest 1-AA, each REMIC 3 Group 2 Regular Interest for which a Class 2-A Certificate or Class 2-P Certificate is the Corresponding Certificate and REMIC 3 Regular Interest 2-ZZ, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 3 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 3 Regular Interest.

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign, transfer, sell, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (exclusive of any prepayment fees and late payment charges received thereon) and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders, including the amount to be deposited by or on behalf of the Depositor into the Net WAC Shortfall Reserve Fund. Such assignment includes all principal and interest received by the Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payment of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date).
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor has caused the Sponsor to deliver to, and deposit with the Custodian, as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the following documents or instruments:
(i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed without recourse, “[TRUSTEE], as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to [ ], Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ]” with all intervening endorsements showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the originator to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee or, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the original Mortgage Note has been permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced, a Lost Note Affidavit;
(ii) the original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording indicated thereon or, if the original Mortgage has not been returned from the public recording office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by the Sponsor or the public recording office in which such Mortgage has been recorded to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage submitted for recording;
(iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, a duly executed original Assignment of the Mortgage, without recourse, in recordable form to [TRUSTEE], as trustee,” or to “[TRUSTEE], as trustee for holders of [ ], Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ]”;
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage showing an unbroken chain of assignment from the originator thereof to the Person assigning it to the Trustee (or to MERS, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System and noting the presence of a MIN) or, if any such Assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, a copy of such Assignment certified by the Sponsor to be a true and complete copy of the original Assignment submitted to the title insurance company for recording;
70
(v) the original title insurance policy, or, if such policy has not been issued, any one of an original or a copy of the preliminary title report, title binder or title commitment on the Mortgaged Property with the original policy of the insurance to be delivered promptly following the receipt thereof;
(vi) a copy of the related hazard insurance policy; and
(vii) a true and correct copy of any assumption, modification, consolidation or substitution agreement.
The Sponsor is obligated as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to deliver to the Custodian: (a) either the original recorded Mortgage, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such Mortgage certified as true and complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where a copy thereof certified by the Sponsor was delivered to the Custodian pursuant to clause (ii) above; and (b) either the original Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, showing an unbroken chain of assignment from the originator to the Sponsor, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such Assignment or Assignments certified as true and complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where copies thereof certified by the Sponsor were delivered to the Custodian pursuant to clause (iv) above. However, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor need not cause to be recorded any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Sponsor to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Sponsor in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or the Certificate Insurer, (ii) the occurrence of a Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Sponsor is not the Servicer and with respect to any one assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of such Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.
If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Custodian because of any defect therein, the Sponsor is required, as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Sponsor shall cause such Assignment to be recorded in accordance with this section.
71
The Sponsor is required as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to exercise its best reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian within 120 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the original or a photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each such Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Sponsor further agrees that it will cause, at the Sponsor’s own expense, as of the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Sponsor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or cause the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance.
It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related Insurance Policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the Collection Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other
72
property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Sponsor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Trustee or any other Custodian or agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Sections 9-115, 9-305, 8-102, 8-301, 8-501 and 8-503 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor and the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements and Cap Contracts shall be delivered to the Trustee. In connection therewith, the Company hereby directs the Trustee, as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee (not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee), to execute and deliver the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement and to exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party B (as defined therein) as set forth in the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement and as provided in this Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter. In addition, the Trustee, as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee (not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee), is hereby directed to execute and deliver the related Cap Contracts on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and to exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party B as set forth in the related Cap Contracts and as provided in this Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter. The Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and the related Certificateholders, by acceptance of their Certificates, acknowledge and agree the Trustee, as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, shall execute and deliver the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement and Cap Contracts on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and to exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party B as set forth in the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement and Cap Contracts and as provided in this Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and not in its individual capacity.
Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustees shall apply to each Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee’s execution of the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement and Cap Contracts, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations on behalf of Party B thereunder.

Section 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
The Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Files held by it, acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification described below) on behalf of the Trustee, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” (to the extent delivered or assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to review or cause to be reviewed on its behalf, each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession, and the Custodian agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the Servicer on the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii)(A) and (iv) of the definition of the “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. None of the Custodian, the Trustee or the Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 2.01. None of the Custodian, the Trustee or the Servicer shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded, or they are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Within 90 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and preparing the certifications referred to above the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee (if not the Custodian) and the Depositor. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor of such defect and request that the Sponsor cure any such defect within 60 days from the date on which the Sponsor was notified of such defect, and if the Sponsor does not cure such defect in all material respects during such period, request on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer that the Sponsor purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the
74
date on which the Sponsor was notified of such defect; provided that if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the Servicer in the Collection Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Sponsor shall require as necessary to vest in the Sponsor ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Sponsor is not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS® System, the Servicer, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Sponsor and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent, other than routine foreclosure actions: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding directly relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Servicer’s representative capacity, (ii) initiate any other action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor 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 related to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor 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.
83
(g) The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Issuing Entity or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust.
(h) Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or other charges) on any Mortgaged Property shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent described herein.
(i) The Servicer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any promissory note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, e-mail, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Mortgagor(s)), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Servicer.
(j) The Servicer shall have no liability to the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, any Certificateholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any breach of representations or warranties made by the Servicer herein, or to any specific liability imposed upon the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any liability that would otherwise be imposed upon the Servicer by reason of its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or duties hereunder.
(k) The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as Servicing Advances.
(l) The Servicer shall not permit a subservicer, subcontractor or Servicing Function Participant to perform any Servicing Function hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless such Servicing Function Participant first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Attestation Report in such manner and at such time that permits the Servicer to comply with Section 3.10 hereof.
Section 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow Accepted Servicing Practices. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion waive any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loans.
84
(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, a segregated account (the “Collection Account”), in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due or to be applied as of a date after the Cut-Off Date on each Business Day, not more than two Business Days after the date of collection, the following payments and collections received or made by it (other than in respect of monthly payments of principal on and interest of the Mortgage Loans that were due on or before the related Cut-Off Date and Monthly Payments due on January 1, [ ]):

(d) The Servicer shall invest any funds in the Collection Account in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Servicer Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that any investment held by the Trustee may mature on such Servicer Remittance Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All net income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order on a Servicer Remittance Date. The Servicer shall deposit from its own funds the amount of any loss, to the extent not offset by investment income or earnings, in the Collection Account upon the realization of such loss.
85
Section 3.03. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account.
The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Collection Account, on or prior to any Servicer Remittance Date, for the following purposes:
(a) to pay to the Sponsor amounts received in respect of any Defective Mortgage Loan purchased or substituted for by the Sponsor to the extent that the payment of any such amounts on the Servicer Remittance Date upon which the proceeds of such purchase are paid would make the total amount distributed in respect of any such Mortgage Loan on such Servicer Remittance Date greater than the Loan Repurchase Price or the Substitution Adjustment therefor;
(b) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which it has made a Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance, from late or deferred payments collected, collections other than timely Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and/or the Loan Repurchase Price or Substitution Adjustment of or relating to such Mortgage Loans;
(c) to reimburse the Servicer for any Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances determined in good faith to have become Nonrecoverable Advances, such reimbursement to be made from any funds in the Collection Account;

(e) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account that were not required to be deposited therein;
(f) to pay the Servicer the Servicing Compensation pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof to the extent not retained or paid;
(g) without duplication, and solely out of amounts which are payable to a former servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, to pay to the Trustee or any successor servicer amounts paid by them in connection with the transfer of the Servicer’s servicing obligations pursuant to Article VII hereof and required under such Article VII to be borne by the Servicer;
(h) to withdraw income on the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.02(d); and
(i) amounts deposited into the Collection Account in respect of late fees, assumption fees and similar fees (other than Prepayment Charges).

86
Section 3.04. Hazard Insurance Policies; Property Protection Expenses.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Mortgage Loan a hazard insurance policy with a carrier licensed in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the named insured of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus the outstanding principal balance of any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan, but in no event shall such amount be less than is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor from becoming a coinsurer thereunder, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the full insurable value of the related Mortgage Property. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property or (ii) the sum of the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and the principal balance of any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan at the time of such foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Servicer of related Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent that they constitute Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds. Each hazard insurance policy shall contain a standard mortgage clause naming the Servicer, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake (except as provided herein) or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage 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.
(b) In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer which satisfies the corresponding requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, insuring against fire, flood and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 3.04, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under this Section 3.04, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may contain a deductible clause (payable by the Servicer), in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.04, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account from the Servicer’s own funds the difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.04 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, a certified true copy of such policy.
(c) If the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination relates to a Mortgaged Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards as designated to the Servicer by the Sponsor, the Servicer will cause
87
to be maintained with respect thereto a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan of not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, plus the principal balance of the related first lien, if any, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuing Entity out of the Servicer’s own funds for any loss to the Issuing Entity resulting from the Servicer’s failure to maintain the insurance required by this Section.
Section 3.05. Assumption and Modification Agreements.
(a) When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if (i) the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law or (ii) the Servicer reasonably believes that to permit an assumption of the Mortgage Loan would not materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the mortgage documents, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Loan, if assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements and representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any applicable assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Trustee’s Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Trustee’s Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for promptly recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the required monthly payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed, the Mortgage Interest Rate shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
88
Section 3.06. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably effect the ownership on behalf of the Issuing Entity of Mortgaged Properties relating to defaulted Mortgage Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and which the Sponsor has not purchased pursuant to Section 3.15, unless the Servicer reasonably believes that Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, in which case, such Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall have no obligation to purchase any Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and skill in their exercise or use, as it would ordinarily exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs. Any amounts including Liquidation Expenses, advanced by the Servicer in connection with such foreclosure or other action shall constitute Servicing Advances.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell any REO Property, the Servicer either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Servicer, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Issuing Entity for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The net income generated from the REO Property and the proceeds from a sale of any REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
(b) If the Servicer has reason to believe that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure contains environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall not institute foreclosure actions with respect to such a property if it reasonably believes that such action would not be consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, and in no event shall the Servicer be required to manage, operate or take any other action with respect thereto which the Servicer in good faith believes will result in “clean-up” or other liability under applicable law, unless the Servicer receives an indemnity acceptable to it in its sole discretion.
(c) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted Mortgage Loan, when it has recovered, whether through trustee’s sale, foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts if any it expects to recover from or on account of such defaulted Mortgage Loan, whereupon such Mortgage Loan shall become a Liquidated Mortgage Loan.
(d) Net Foreclosure Profits, if any, shall be paid directly to the Sponsor.
(e) With respect to its obligations under this Section 3.06, the Servicer shall take all such actions as it reasonably believes are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
89
Section 3.07. Trustee to Cooperate.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee one copy of a Request for Release. Upon receipt of such copy of the Request for Release, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee’s Mortgage File, in trust to (i) the Servicer (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee, in each case pending its release by the Servicer, such escrow agent or such employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee, as the case may be. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such 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 payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) (i) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related Trustee’s Mortgage File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of one copy of a Request for Release, release the related Trustee’s Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse of the related Mortgage to the Servicer. The Trustee shall complete in the name of the Trustee any endorsement in blank on any Mortgage Note prior to releasing such Mortgage Note to the Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Trustee’s Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, the Servicer shall deliver one copy of a Request for Release indicating such loan has been paid in full.
(ii) Each Request for Release may be delivered to the Trustee (x) via mail or courier, (y) via facsimile or (z) by such other means, including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as the Servicer and the Trustee shall mutually agree. The Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee’s Mortgage File(s) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of one copy of a properly completed Request for Release pursuant to clauses (x), (y) or (z) above or such shorter period as may be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee. Receipt of a Request for Release pursuant to clauses (x), (y) or (z) above shall be authorization to the Trustee to release such Trustee’s Mortgage Files, provided the Trustee has determined that such Request for Release has been executed, with respect to clauses (x) or (y) above, or approved, with respect to clause (z) above, by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer. If the Trustee is unable to release the Trustee’s Mortgage Files within the time frames previously specified, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Servicer, indicating the reason for such delay, but in no event shall such notification be later than seven (7) Business Days after receipt of a Request for Release. If the Servicer, is required to pay penalties or damages
90
due solely to the Trustee’s negligent failure to release the related Trustee’s Mortgage File or the Trustee’s negligent failure to execute and release documents in a timely manner, the Trustee shall be liable for such penalties or damages.
(c) No costs associated with the procedures described in this Section 3.07 shall be an expense of the Issuing Entity or the Trustee and the Trustee shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to pay or advance any such amounts, except for any penalties and damages as set forth in Section 3.07(b)(ii) above.
Section 3.08. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.
The Servicer shall be entitled to receive and retain, out of collections on the Mortgage Loans for each Due Period, as servicing compensation for such Due Period, an amount (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Rate and the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the beginning of such Due Period. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or extension and other administrative charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be payable by or from another source) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Sponsor on or before March 15th of each year, beginning March 15, [ ], an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer, during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (b) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its material obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a subservicer or subcontractor that meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB, the Servicer, or the related servicer (as the case may be) shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by that subservicer or subcontractor to the Trustee, the Sponsor and the Rating Agencies as described above as and when required with respect to the servicer.
Section 3.10. Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria. Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, each of the Servicer and the Trustee (each, an “Attesting Party”) shall deliver to the Trustee on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in [ ], a report regarding such Attesting Party’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:
(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;
91
(b) A statement by such officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit M hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;
(c) An assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans; and
(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year.
Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.
On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in [ ], each Attesting Party specified in this Section shall furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be shall cause any subservicer, and each subcontractor determined by it to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above along with an indication of what Servicing Criteria are addressed in such assessment.
Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any subservicer, shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor (as defined in the related servicing agreement), an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Issuing Entity.
The Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to the “Trustee.” In addition, the Trustee shall deliver to the Sponsor and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to a “custodian.”

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 receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(ii) (A) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Depositor shall prepare and file on behalf of the Issuing Entity any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act. Any

Section 3.23. Advance Facility.
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (such an arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advancing Person to the Servicer. If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advancing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.24(b) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.24, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, as prepared by the Servicer confirming its receipt of written notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person purchases or funds any Delinquency Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with written notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.24(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, and include the Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.24. For the avoidance of doubt, an Advancing Person whose obligations under the Advance Facility are limited to the funding of Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be considered to be a subservicer hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Delinquency Advance reimbursement amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and (c) of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be deposited in the Certificate Account, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Delinquency Advance reimbursement amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and (c) hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Neither the Issuing Entity nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the
104
existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Delinquency Advance reimbursement amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Issuing Entity or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Delinquency Advance reimbursement amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Issuing Entity for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(c) If an Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement for any particular Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance as set forth in Section 3.24(a), then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.03(b) and (c), but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.02 to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances from the Certificate Account to the same extent the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.03(b) and (c), had the Servicer made such Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance.
(d) All Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out” (FIFO) basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Delinquency Advance reimbursement amount related to Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than the Servicer or its related Advancing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Delinquency Advance reimbursement amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Delinquency Advance reimbursement amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and (c) for all Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Delinquency Advance reimbursement amounts have not been assigned, sold or pledged to such Advancing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.
(e) In the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Servicer’s right of reimbursement set forth in Section 3.03(b) and (c) to the extent of such Advancing Person’s financing of Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then remaining unreimbursed.
105
(f) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by, sold and/or pledged to an Advancing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Issuing Entity are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advancing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advancing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances purchased or funded by the Advancing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advancing Person.

(b) second, any remainder, to the Holder of the Class 1-C Certificates.
(iv) The Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall not be an asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Trustee to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Trustee shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Group 1 Derivative Account. The Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates, invest amounts on deposit in the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, any income or gain earned on the invested assets in the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates, on a pro rata basis. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust shall be taxable to the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust by the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates, pro rata, out of their own funds immediately as realized.
(v) For federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (first and second sentences of the sixth paragraph) for payment to the Group 1 Swap Provider with respect to the Group 1 Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall first be deemed to be paid to the Group 1 Supplemental
131
Interest Trust in respect of the Class 1-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class 1-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and shall then be deemed to be paid to the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of a Group 1 Class IO Distribution Amount as described below.
(vi) The Trustee shall treat the Holders of the Class 1-A, Class 1-M and Class 1-B Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of the Class 1-A, Class 1-M and Class 1-B Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class 1-C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 4 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Group 1 Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Group 1 Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of, with respect to each such Certificate, (i) the amount of interest otherwise payable to the REMIC 4 Regular Interest relating to such Certificate over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificate at a per annum rate equal to the related Net WAC Rate, and a Group 1 Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of the Class 1-A, Class 1-M, Class 1-B and Class 1-C Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class 1-C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay to the Holders of the Class 1-A, Class 1-M and Class 1-B Certificates (a) any Net WAC Shortfall Amounts with respect to Loan Group 1, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) any other amounts representing the excess, if any, of the amount of interest payable to such Certificates over the amount of interest payable to the REMIC 4 Regular Interest relating to such Certificate, in each case, on the related Distribution Date, from the amounts deemed distributed to the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class 1-IO Interest in accordance with paragraph (v) above. Any payments to the Class 1-A, Class 1-M, Class 1-B and Class 1-C Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. However, any payment from the Class 1-A, Class 1-M and Class 1-B Certificates of a Group 1 Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC 4 and as having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class 1-C Certificates pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Class 1-A, Class 1-M, Class 1-B and Class 1-C Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in REMIC 4, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
(vii) (a) Upon designation of an early termination date with respect to a Group 1 Derivative Contract other than in connection with a Group 1 Optional Termination, the Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, at the written direction of the Depositor will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor derivative counterparty to enter into a new derivative contract on terms substantially similar to such Group 1 Derivative Contract with a derivative counterparty meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. The Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will apply any Group 1 Derivative Termination Payment received from the original derivative counterparty in connection with the early termination of such Group 1 Derivative Contract to the upfront payment required to appoint the successor derivative counterparty.
132
If a successor derivative counterparty is not appointed within 30 days of such early termination, then the Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will deposit any Group 1 Derivative Termination Payment received from the original derivative counterparty in connection with the early termination of such Group 1 Derivative Contract into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account an amount equal to the payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee by the original derivative counterparty calculated in accordance with the terms of the related Group 1 Derivative Contract, and distribute such amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) In the event that the derivative counterparty under a Group 1 Derivative Contract fails to perform any of its obligations under such Group 1 Derivative Contract (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the related Group 1 Derivative Contract) occurs with respect to such Group 1 Derivative Contract, the Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust under such Group 1 Derivative Contract.
In the event that a derivative counterparty’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to a Group 1 Derivative Contract (such guaranty a “Group 1 Guaranty” and such third party a “Group 1 Guarantor”), then to the extent that derivative counterparty fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of such Group 1 Derivative Contract, the Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of derivative counterparty’s failure to pay, demand that such Group 1 Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by such Group 1 Guarantor pursuant to such Group 1 Guaranty; provided that Trustee, as Group 1 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by such Group 1 Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to such Group 1 Derivative Contract and the Group 1 Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

(a) first, an amount equal to the aggregate amount required under Section 4.01(o) to be distributed on such Distribution Date, to the Class 2-A Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01(o) of this Agreement, and
(b) second, any remainder, to the Holder of the Class 2-C Certificates.
(iv) The Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall not be an asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class 2-C Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Trustee to transfer amounts under this Agreement.

(vi) The Trustee shall treat the Holders of the Class 2-A Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class 2-C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of the Class 2-A Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class 2-C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 4 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Group 2 Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Group 2 Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of, with respect to each such Certificate, (i) the amount of interest otherwise payable to the REMIC 4 Regular Interest relating to such Certificate over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificate at a per annum rate equal to the related Net WAC Rate, and a Group 2 Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of the Class 2-A Certificates and Class 2-C Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class 2-C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay to the Holders of the Class 2-A Certificates (a) any Net WAC Shortfall Amounts with respect to Loan Group 2, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) any other amounts representing the excess, if any, of the amount of interest payable to such Certificates over the amount of interest payable to the REMIC 4 Regular Interest relating to such Certificate, in each case, on the related Distribution Date, from the amounts deemed distributed to the Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class 2-IO Interest in accordance with paragraph (v) above. Any payments to the Class 2-A Certificates and Class 2-C Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. However, any payment from the Class 2-A Certificates of a Group 2 Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC 4 and as having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class 2-C Certificates pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Class 2-A Certificate and Class 2-C Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in REMIC 4, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
135
(vii) (a) Upon designation of an early termination date with respect to a Group 2 Derivative Contract other than in connection with a Group 2 Optional Termination, the Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, at the written direction of the Depositor or the Certificate Insurer will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor derivative counterparty to enter into a new derivative contract on terms substantially similar to such Group 2 Derivative Contract with a derivative counterparty meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. The Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will apply any Group 2 Derivative Termination Payment received from the original derivative counterparty in connection with the early termination of such Group 2 Derivative Contract to the upfront payment required to appoint the successor derivative counterparty.
If a successor derivative counterparty is not appointed within 30 days of such early termination, then the Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will deposit any Group 2 Derivative Termination Payment received from the original derivative counterparty in connection with the early termination of such Group 2 Derivative Contract into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account an amount equal to the payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee by the original derivative counterparty calculated in accordance with the terms of the related Group 2 Derivative Contract, and distribute such amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) In the event that the derivative counterparty under a Group 2 Derivative Contract fails to perform any of its obligations under such Group 2 Derivative Contract (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the related Group 2 Derivative Contract) occurs with respect to such Group 2 Derivative Contract, the Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust under such Group 2 Derivative Contract.
In the event that a derivative counterparty’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to a Group 2 Derivative Contract (such guaranty a “Group 2 Guaranty” and such third party a “Group 2 Guarantor”), then to the extent that derivative counterparty fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of such Group 2 Derivative Contract, the Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of derivative counterparty’s failure to pay, demand that such Group 2 Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by such Group 2 Guarantor pursuant to such Group 2 Guaranty; provided that Trustee, as Group 2 Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by such Group 2 Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to such Group 2 Derivative Contract and the Group 2 Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

Section 4.11. Tax Treatment of Class IO Distribution Amounts in the Event of Resecuritization of Class 1-A, Class 2-A, Class 1-M or Class 1-B Certificates.
In the event that any Class 1-A, Class 2-A, Class 1-M or Class 1-B Certificate is resecuritized in a REMIC (the “Resecuritization REMIC”), for federal income tax purposes, (i) payments on the REMIC 4 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class 1-A, Class 2-A, Class 1-M or Class 1-B Certificate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include the related Class IO Distribution Amount, and (ii) to the extent provided in the operative documents for the Resecuritization REMIC, (a) payments on the “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC shall be deemed to include in the aggregate such Class IO Distribution Amount, and (b) such Class IO Distribution Amount shall be deemed paid to the Holder of the related Class C Certificates pursuant to a notional principal contract entered into by the holders of one or more “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC (“Resecuritization Holders”) and the Holder of the related Class C Certificates. In such event, Class IO Distribution Amounts deemed paid by Resecuritization Holders under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid on behalf of such holders pursuant to Section 4.10(ii) and Section 4.11(ii) hereof, as applicable.
Section 4.12. [The Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy

Any such Insured Amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or to pay any other Class of Certificates. Amounts paid under the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy, to the extent needed to pay the Insured Amount, shall be disbursed by the Trustee to the Holders of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be]. 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 pay other distributions to the Holders of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] with other funds available to make such payment. However, the amount of any payment of principal or of interest on the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] to be paid from funds transferred from the Insurance Account shall be noted as provided in paragraph (d) below and in the statement to be furnished to Holders of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] pursuant to Section 4.02. Funds held in the Insurance Account shall not be invested. Any funds remaining in the Insurance Account on the
137

(v) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be]. Each Holder of a Class 1-AM Certificate or Class 2-A Certificate, by its purchase of such [ ] Certificate, the Depositor and the Trustee 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 such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Holder of a [ ] Certificate and the Trustee hereby delegates and assigns to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Trustee and each Holder of a [ ] Certificate in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.
(vi) The Trustee shall, upon retirement of the [ ] Certificates, furnish to the Certificate Insurer a notice of such retirement, and, upon retirement of the [ ] Certificates and the expiration of the term of the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy, surrender the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation.
138
(vii) The Trustee will hold the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy in trust as agent for the Holders of the [ ] Certificates for the purpose of making claims thereon and distributing the proceeds thereof. Neither the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy nor the amounts paid on the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy will constitute part of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement. Each Holder of the [ ] Certificates, by accepting its [ ] Certificates, respectively, appoints the Trustee as attorney in fact for the purpose of making claims on the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy.
(viii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] which is made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] from the Trust Fund. The Depositor and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a [ ] Certificate agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor or the Trustee (a) to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the [ ] Certificates to the Holders of such [ ] Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to, and each Holder of a [ ] Certificate, [as the case may be,] and the Trustee hereby delegates and assigns to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Holders of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] in respect of securities law violations arising from the offer and sale of the [ ] Certificates, [as the case may be,] and (b) the Certificate Insurer shall be paid such amounts from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the payment of such amounts and as provided in this Agreement. The Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders as otherwise set forth herein.
(ix) By accepting its [ ] Certificate, each Holder of a [ ] Certificate agrees that, unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to be the Holder of the [ ] Certificate for all purposes (other than with respect to the receipt of payment on the [ ] Certificates) and shall have the right to exercise all rights (including, without limitation, voting rights) of the Holders of the [ ] Certificates under this Agreement without any further consent of the Holders of the [ ] Certificates. All notices, statement reports, certificates or opinions required by this Agreement to be sent to any Holders of [ ] Certificates shall also be sent to the Certificate Insurer.]

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B-1 through B-4. The Certificates will be issuable in registered form only. The Certificates (other than the Class P, Class C and Class R Certificates) will be issued in minimum denominations of $[25,000] Initial Certificate Principal Balance and integral multiples of $[1] in excess thereof. The Class C Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $[ ] Initial Notional Amount and integral multiples of $[ ] in excess thereof. The Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates will each be issuable in minimum denominations of any Percentage Interest representing [10.00]% and multiples of [0.01]% in excess thereof.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, be executed and delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time they signed the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Book-Entry Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Trustee shall not be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and the Trustee shall have no liability for transfers of
143
Ownership Interests in the Book Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or between or among Depositary Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of the applicable restrictions.
The Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i) (A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, 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 Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates the Trustee and the Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(c) Each Certificate is intended to be a “security” governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction, to the extent that any of such laws may be applicable.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class P, Class C or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class P, Class C or Class R Certificate is
144
to be made under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such transfer shall be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Depositor and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
No transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made unless the proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate (1) provides to the Trustee the appropriate tax certification forms that would eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the related Swap Provider, pursuant to the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and by the related Cap Counterparty, pursuant to the related Cap Contracts, to the related Supplemental Interest Trust (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), together with any applicable attachments) and (2) agrees to update such forms (i) upon expiration of any such forms, (ii) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning that such forms have become obsolete or incorrect, each as a condition to such transfer. In addition, no transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made if such transfer would cause the related Supplemental Interest Trust to be beneficially owned by two or more persons for federal income tax purposes, or continue to be so treated, unless (i) each proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate complies with the foregoing conditions, and (ii) the proposed majority holder of the Class C Certificates (or each holder, if there is or would be no majority holder) (A) provides, or causes to be provided, on behalf of the related Supplemental Interest Trust, if applicable, to the Trustee, the appropriate tax certification forms that would be required from the related Supplemental Interest Trust to eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the related Swap Provider, pursuant to the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and by the related Cap Counterparty, pursuant to the related Cap Contracts, to the related Supplemental Interest Trust (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), together with any applicable attachments) and (B) agrees to update such forms (x) upon expiration of any such forms, (y) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such forms have become obsolete or incorrect. If, under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, such tax certification forms may only be signed by a trustee acting on behalf of the related Supplemental Interest Trust, then the
145
Trustee, as the related Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, shall sign such certification forms if so directed by a Holder of the related Class C Certificates. Upon receipt of any such tax certification forms from a transferee of any Class C Certificate, the Trustee, as the related Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, shall forward a copy of such tax certification forms provided to it to the related Swap Provider and related Cap Counterparty. Each Holder of a Class C Certificate and each transferee thereof shall be deemed to have consented to the Trustee forwarding to the related Swap Provider and related Cap Counterparties any tax certification form it has provided and updated in accordance with these transfer restrictions. Any purported sales or transfers of any Class C Certificate to a transferee which does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this Agreement.
The Trustee shall not be liable for the content or truthfulness of any such tax certification forms provided to it. The Trustee shall only be required to forward any tax certification forms received by it to the related Swap Provider and related Cap Counterparties at the last known address provided to it, and shall not be liable for the receipt of such tax certification forms by the related Swap Provider or the related Cap Counterparties, nor any failure of the related Swap Provider or related Cap Counterparties to process such forms or to take any action as required under the respective related Interest Rate Swap Agreement or related Cap Contract, or under applicable law. The Trustee shall have no duty to take action to correct any misstatement or omission in any tax certification forms provided to it and forwarded to the related Swap Provider and related Cap Counterparties.
(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.02(b), transfers of Class 1-P, Class 2-P, Class 1-C, Class 2-C and Class R Certificates may be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of a Certificate provides the Trustee and the Depositor with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A. Such transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section 5.02(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class 1-P, Class 2-P, Class 1-C, Class 2-C and Class R Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) by the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
Prior to the termination of a Supplemental Interest Trust, each beneficial owner of a related Offered Certificate (or a Class 1-B Certificate, if related) or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or Xxxxx plan, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), and is not a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or using “plan assets” of any Plan to effect such acquisition or (ii) its acquisition and holding of the right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust is eligible for the exemptive relief available under a U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the statutory exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code.
146
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class P, Class C or Class R Certificate shall be made(other than by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor in accordance with Section 5.02(b)) unless the transferee shall execute a representation letter, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the that such transferee is not a Plan and is not a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or using “plan assets” of any Plan to effect its acquisition of the Certificate.
If any Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held by or on behalf of a Plan in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of such Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any such purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of a Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Underwriters and the Trustee from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt, of (I) an affidavit and agreement (a “Transferee Affidavit and Agreement” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) an affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax and that it has no knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee.
147
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement and a Transferor Affidavit under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or that the statements made in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement or Transferor Affidavit are false, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit to the Trustee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is “a pass-through interest holder”, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5, a Transferor Affidavit of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates other than to Permitted Transferees are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee under this Section 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such Class R Certificate. Each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this clause (b) and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the Class R Certificates are not transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee and that any transfer of such Class R Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Neither the Trustee nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
148
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02 and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(f) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an ownership interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record Holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information as may be required from those Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph for providing such information.
(g) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee or transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for distribution by wire transfer.
(h) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for four
149
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest, the Class R-3 Interest and Class R-4 Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.
(i) No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(j) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s standard procedures.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee 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) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05. Rule 144A Information.
For so long as any Class P, Class C and Class R are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to any Holder of such Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a Holder, upon the request of such Holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Depositor shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor and furnish the Depositor such information in the Servicer ‘s possession as the Depositor may reasonably request.

Section 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.

The Depositor, the Servicer and any
151
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel), other than (a) any loss, liability or expense related to Servicer ‘s servicing obligations with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or related to the Servicer ‘s obligations under Section 3.01, or (b) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor or the Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any action or liability related to the Servicer ‘s obligations under Section 3.01) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate Account.

Any such determination that the Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law permitting the resignation of the Servicer, as applicable, shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sponsor and the Servicer, as applicable. No such resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until a successor servicer appointed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.

(viii) the Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any required Advance which continues unremedied for the earlier of (a) a period of two (2) Business Days or (b) the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)—(v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer), by notice in writing to the Servicer and the Swap Provider (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of Certificates), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the successor to the Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have accepted the duties of Servicer effective upon the resignation or termination of the Servicer. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee, as applicable, shall, by notice to the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee, as applicable, determines (in its sole discretion) that the failure by the Servicer to make any required Advance was due to circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was otherwise made, the Trustee, as applicable, shall not terminate the Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
154
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 at the expense of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with (and pay any related costs and expenses of) the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer ‘s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or the successor Servicer for administration by it of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund; (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Servicer ‘s duties thereunder; and (iii) all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Servicer or should have been deposited to the Collection or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Servicer to remit any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the Trustee as provided in Section 11.05 and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
Within 90 days of the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(i)—(v), the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer including the obligation to make Advances which have been or will be required to be made (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12 and 4.01(r)) by the terms and provisions hereof; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer ‘s failure to provide information required by Section 3.17 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.02, then notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so act, or shall be unable to so act, the Trustee may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction or appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of not less than $[10,000,000] and acceptable to the Certificate Insurer as evidenced by its prior written consent as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above
155
provided. 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 the Servicer hereunder. Each of the Sponsor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In no event shall the successor Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02. The successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer shall maintain in force during its term as Servicer hereunder policies and fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.18.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and to the Rating Agencies.
156
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates, the Certificate Insurer and the Swap Provider notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer), may waive such default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(vi)); provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer) and (b) no waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in the second paragraph of Section 11.01 or materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Servicer shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.05. List of Certificateholders.
Upon written request of the Certificate Insurer or three or more Certificateholders of record, for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs, is continuing and has not been 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
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 in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer hereunder or any Opinion of Counsel required hereunder.
The Trustee shall prepare and file or cause to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that is required with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4 pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws.
The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4 under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 or REMIC 4 to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
158
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificate Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating 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.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notice pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) has given its consent; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s corporate trust department has actual knowledge (which has not been waived or cured),
159
to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights with the written consent of the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed;
(g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and
(h) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed and delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Servicer. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction.
160
In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Lending Laws”), the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with the Lending Laws.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the MERS® System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity (other than as Trustee hereunder) may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.
Section 8.05. Trustee’s Fees.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account as compensation hereunder any amounts earned on funds in the Certificate Account. Such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be paid for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any claim, loss, liability, fee or expense incurred in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), relating to the acceptance or
161
administration of its trusts hereunder or the Trustee’s performance under the Certificates, other than any claim, loss, liability or expense (i) sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or (ii) incurred in connection with a breach constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any such claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), loss, liability, fee or expense that may be sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the Servicer ‘s duties hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $[50,000,000] and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be acceptable to the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Sponsor and their affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an affiliate of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer; with a copy to the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Insurer and the Swap Provider; provided, that such resignation shall not be effective until successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment in accordance with the following provisions; provided, however, that the resigning trustee shall not resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created until such time as the Rating Agency rating the Certificates and the
162
Certificate Insurer approves the successor trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, the Servicer with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may remove the Trustee and appoint successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses, promptly deliver to the successor trustee all assets and records of the Trust Fund held by it hereunder, and the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver all such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
163
Any Person appointed as successor trustee pursuant to Section 8.08 shall also be required to serve as successor supplemental interest trust trustee under the derivative documents.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment without the Servicer. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred or such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
164
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 or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall first, pay itself its fee for such Distribution Date (as described in Section 8.05 ) and any other amounts owing to the Trustee under this Agreement, and second, distribute to such Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Servicer’s election to repurchase, or (ii) if the Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each related Regular Certificate, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus with respect to each Regular Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates) and the related Class IO Interest, one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, or otherwise distributable thereto, and any Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, plus with respect to each Subordinate Certificate, any unpaid Allocated Realized Loss Amount; with respect to the Class R Certificates, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase price (as adjusted in accordance with the preceding paragraph) and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the related Regular Certificates and the related Class IO Interest, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 4.01; and with respect to the Certificate Insurer, any amounts owed under the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy, the Insurance Agreement and this Agreement.

In the event the Servicer advances funds with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby and with the consent of the Certificate Insurer. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the Class [1][2]-P Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first and second lien, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first lien multifamily and commercial mortgage loans formed and sold by [ ]
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in [ ], the Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by [ ], the Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Company, the Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [Trustee] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class [1][2]-P Certificate (obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Class [1][2]-P Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance) in certain distributions with
B-4-2
respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first and second lien, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first lien multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by [ ] (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Servicer, [ ], as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement; to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of Prepayment Charges and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class [1][2]-P Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the distributions allocable to principal allocable hereto.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event the Servicer advances funds with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
B-4-3
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Company in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Company of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Company; or there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Company a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Company against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby and with the consent of the Certificate Insurer. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
B-4-4
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The Group 1 Certificates are subject to termination in whole, but not in part, by the Servicer, on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans as of the end of the related Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the Patent set forth in the Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

2.

The Investor consents to any amendment of the Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Depositor (upon advice of nationally recognized counsel) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Certificate will not be owned directly or indirectly by a Person other than a Permitted Transferee.
5. The Investor agrees not to Transfer the Certificates, or cause the Transfer of the Certificates by a Person for whom the Investor is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, in each case unless (i) it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit containing these same representations and covenants from the subsequent transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Investor, the Investor agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit G-4 to the Agreement to the effect that the Investor has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
6. The Investor has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes associated with holder an Ownership Interest in the Certificates may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The Investor does not have the intention, and no purpose of the Transfer of the Certificates to the Investor is, to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificates.
7. The Investor’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [ ].
8. The Investor is a United States Person.
9. The Investor is aware that the Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 860E of the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
10. The Investor will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any other United States Person.
11. Check one of the following:
¨ The Transfer of the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(7) and (8) and, accordingly:
(i) the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificates does not exceed the sum of:
(a) | the present value of any consideration given to the Investor to acquire such Certificates; |
G-5-2
(b) | the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificates; and |
(c) | the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificates as the related REMIC generates losses; and |
(ii) the Transfer of the Certificates will not result in such Certificates being held, directly or indirectly, by a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any other United States Person.
For purposes of the calculation in clause (i) above, (x) the Investor is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code if the Investor has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (y) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Investor.
¨ The Transfer of the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly:
(i) | the Investor is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificates will only be taxed in the United States; |
(ii) | at the time of the Transfer, and at the close of the Investor’s two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of the transfer, the Investor had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a “related person” to the Investor within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) and any other asset the principal purpose of which is to permit the Investor to satisfy the condition of this clause (ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million; |
(iii) | the Investor will transfer the Certificates only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction in which the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and -1(c)(5) are satisfied and, accordingly, the subsequent transferee provides a similar affidavit with this box checked; and |
(iv) | the Investor determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificates based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss |
G-5-3
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Investor) that it has determined in good faith and has concluded that such consideration, together with other assets of the Investor, will be sufficient to cover the taxes associated with the Certificates. |
¨ None of the above.
11.(a) The Investor is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or Xxxxx plan, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), and is not acting on behalf of any Plan or using “plan assets” of any Plan to effect its acquisition of the Certificates.
(b) The Investor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer that the Investor will not transfer the Certificates to any Plan or to any Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using “plan assets” of any Plan to effect its acquisition of the Certificates.
