II-A-1 Certificates, (iii) the Class II-A-2 Certificates, (iv) Class II-A-3
Certificates, (v) the Class II-A-4 Certificates, (vi) the Class X Certificates,

As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets

this Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the
Swap Account, any Serivicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Supplemental
Interest Trust, the Cap Trust, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Basis
Risk Cap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets shall be designated as “REMIC 1.” The Class
R-1 Interest shall represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The
following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC
1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for
purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the

determination. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of
each REMIC Regular Interest shall equal the amount set forth in the Preliminary
Statement hereto as its initial Uncertificated Principal Balance. On each
Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular
Interest shall be reduced by all distributions of principal made on such REMIC
Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.08 and, if
and
to the extent necessary and appropriate, shall be further reduced on such
Distribution Date by Realized Losses as provided in Section 4.08, and the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC Regular Interest LTZZ shall be

The

transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without
recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-off Date Principal Balance,

In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor, does hereby deliver

documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred
and
assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage File”):
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) in the following
form: “Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, without recourse”
or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit
stating that the original mortgage note was lost, misplaced or destroyed,
together with a copy of the related mortgage note; provided, however, that
such
substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur
only
with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of
which is less than or equal to 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off
Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney
has
been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
of
such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true
and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) an
original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The
Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., as Trustee, without recourse”;
(iv) an
original of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain
of
assignments;
(v) the
original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy;
and
(vi) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any.
The
Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the
Assignment Agreement and the Master Agreement.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and
deliver) and to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment
of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted),
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of
the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee no later than the Closing
Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case
of
(x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above
to
be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording
and
(2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original
or a
copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to
be
a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender’s
title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant
to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, the original or a copy of a written
commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title
insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof
to be
delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the Master Agreement to cure such defect
or
deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian within 90
days. If the Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such
missing document within such time period, the Trustee shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the Originator to either
repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
2.03;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take
any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and
provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to direct and assist the Trustee
in enforcing any obligations of the Originator to repurchase or substitute
for a
Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the Master
Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, it is understood that
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall have no duty to discover any such
defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage Files
to
the extent set forth herein.
The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Master
Agreement to cause the Assignments which were delivered in blank to be completed
and to record all Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and,
to
the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee shall enforce
the
obligations of the Originator under the Master Agreement to deliver such
assignments for recording within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the
event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator
under the Master Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared
or
have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such
Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing
and
to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted
for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland
or
Kentucky) unless the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and
the
Depositor receive notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class
of
Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment, shall be submitted for
recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights,
(ii)
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of
a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v)
upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, (vi) upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more
Delinquent and such recordation would be necessary to facilitate conversion
of
the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.16 and (vii) reasonable
direction by the NIMS Insurer. In the event of (i) through (vii) set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator to deliver such Assignments for recording as
provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt
of
notice by the Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Originator
fails
to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by
the
Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the
Trust.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365
days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such
365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365 day
period, an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to
be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a “high-cost home loan” as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable

Acceptance
by Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below
and
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt by it (or the Custodian on its behalf)
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 (or the Custodian on its
behalf) holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to
it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets
and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The
Trustee agrees that it (or a Custodian will agree on its behalf) shall, for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders, review, or that it or a Custodian on its
behalf has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 each Mortgage File on or prior
to
the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any
document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the
assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees that it or a
Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
certify to the Depositor and the Servicer (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer)
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after
the
Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any
document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days after the
assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the respective
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto
as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it (or the Custodian on its behalf) pursuant to Section 2.01 of
this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by
it (or the Custodian on its behalf) and have not been mutilated, damaged or
torn
and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on
its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) and (3) of the Mortgage
Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
It
is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Prior
to
the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
its behalf) shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer, with a copy to
the
NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case
may
be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or not to conform with respect to any characteristics which
are within the scope of the Trustee’s (or the Custodian’s, as applicable) review
as provided herein, at the conclusion of its review, the Trustee shall so notify
the Originator, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer. In addition,
upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer (or upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach
of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator in the Master
Agreement or the Seller in the Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests
of
the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the other
parties to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Trustee be
liable to any party hereto or to any third party for the performance of any
custody-related functions, including without limitation with respect to which
the Custodian shall fail to take action on behalf of the Trustee or failure
by
the Custodian to perform any custody related functions in the event the
Custodian shall fail to satisfy all the related requirements under this
Agreement or the Custodial Agreement.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.

Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator or the
Seller.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice from the Trustee of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File
or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Master Agreement or the
Assignment Agreement, as applicable, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall request that the Originator
deliver such missing document or that the Originator or the Seller cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller
was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator
or
the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce (in
the
manner set forth in Section 2.01) the Originator’s obligation under the Master
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement or the Seller’s obligation under the
Assignment Agreement and notify the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
of
its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration
of
such 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in
the
Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification
from
the Servicer of such deposit, shall release (or cause the Custodian to release)
to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage
File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or
the
Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in
the Originator or Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such
Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility
for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose).
In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from
the
Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d); provided, however,
the
Seller may not substitute for any Mortgage Loan which breaches a representation
or warranty regarding abusive or predatory lending laws. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
to
cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which
a
document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or
as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy against the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In order to facilitate the discovery of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Master Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall have the right to request
from the Originator, on behalf of the Trust Fund, a copy of the Mortgage File
(including any documents related thereto, such as payment histories, collection
screens and payoff amounts) from the Originator, or if any portion or copy
of
such Mortgage File is being held by the Servicer or the Custodian, from the
Servicer or the Custodian, as applicable and the Originator, the Servicer or
the
Custodian, as applicable, are hereby authorized to deliver such file to the
Depositor.
(b) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business
Day
that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage
Loan
for which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee,
and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as
are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing
that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition
thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if
any,
in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge (or cause
the Custodian to acknowledge) receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents as
specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer (with
a
copy to the NIMS Insurer), with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year
of
the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian
to
deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer)
a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect
to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund
and
will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the
Due
Period preceding the month of substitution and the Originator or the Seller,
as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer, who shall forward such notice to the Certificateholders, that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the
Custodian and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution by the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in
all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, including
all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Assignment
Agreement as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any,
by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds
the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit
in
the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if any,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release (or
cause the Custodian to release) to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
as
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall
be
necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within
two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties hereto.
In
connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be,
shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made (i) by the Originator if the affected Mortgage Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the Master
Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a)
or
2.03(d), if made by the Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if made by the
Depositor. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
reconvey to the Depositor or the Originator, as the case may be, the Mortgage
Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms
and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.
(f) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice of a breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Assignment
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders,
and if either (i) such Mortgage Loan is not in breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Originator or (ii) the Originator has failed to
remedy such representation, warranty or covenant with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, then the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to remedy
such
breach, to the extent provided in the Assignment Agreement, in the manner and
within the time periods set forth in the Assignment Agreement.

relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection
to
the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution (as Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee) of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and the performance of
its
duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION
3.01
|
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as
determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent
with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary
and
usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction (the “Servicing
Standard”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing
similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) the collection of such
Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iv) the Servicer
has not received information and documentation sufficient to confirm the
existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge. If a Prepayment Charge
is waived as permitted by meeting the standard described in clauses (iii) or
(iv) above, then the Trustee shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
attempt to enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Master Agreement
to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless
directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees
to
assist and direct the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of the Originator
to
pay the the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge under the Master
Agreement. If the Originator fails to pay the amount of such waived
Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations under the Master Agreement,
the Trustee and the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken
against the Originator. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that for the
purposes of clause (iii) above, the law applicable to the enforcement of
Prepayment Charges is the law applicable to the originator of the related
Mortgage Loan. In the event the Servicer determines that (i) the
foregoing acknowledgement is no longer accurate and (ii) applicable state law
would prevent it from fully enforcing any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall
(i) provide notice to the Depositor at least 30 days prior to waiving any such
Prepayment Charge and (ii) provide a written opinion of counsel from a
nationally recognized law firm experienced in regulatory matters concluding
that
fully enforcing such Prepayment Charge would violate applicable
law.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power
and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02,
to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing
and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in the name of the
Trust
Fund, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports
required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance
policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within five (5) days of the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer
any special or limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their
servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, such limited
powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and
submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers
of
attorney.
Subject
to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment
of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose
of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Stated
Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless,
in
any such case, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of
any
tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under
the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer shall also undertake to defend, with respect to a claim against the
Trustee or the Trust, any claims against the Trust, the Trustee or itself by
a
Mortgagor which relate to or affect the servicing of any Mortgage
Loan. This shall not be construed as an assumption of liability in
such matters. The Trustee shall notify the Servicer of any such claim
as soon as practicable after receiving notice of such claim. The
Servicer shall not be liable for any delay in responding to any claim of which
it has not received timely notice. The Trustee shall cooperate with
the Servicer in all aspects of the defense of such claims, including the timely
delivery of all relevant litigation files and other related
information. In the event the Servicer acts on behalf of the Trustee,
the Trust or itself in any such litigation, the Trust shall pay all costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, settlements and judgments)
associated with the defense and management of such claim; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be indemnified for any such cost or expense relating
to claims against the Servicer and incurred by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties
hereunder.
The
Servicer further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the
name of the Subservicer, when the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case
may
be, 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 reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result
of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection
with the MERS® System, shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to such
Servicer.
SECTION
3.02
|
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which
may
be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans; provided, however, (i) such sub-servicing arrangement and the
terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing
of
the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement
contemplated hereunder and (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such
sub-servicing agreement. The Trustee is hereby authorized to
acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing
Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the
Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon
whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether
such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this
Agreement. The Servicer may, in connection with its duties as
Servicer hereunder, enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates relating
to the Mortgage Loans; provided, that (i) such transaction is in the ordinary
course of business of the Servicer, and (ii) the terms of such transaction
are
no less favorable to the Servicer than it would obtain in a comparable
arm’s-length transaction with a person that is not an Affiliate of the
Servicer.
Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and
to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx
Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement
must
impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth
in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent
with
the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any
Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions
of
this Agreement. Any variation in any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the
NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any
amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(b) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from
a
general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that
such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans,
or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against
the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION
3.03
|
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate
any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of
any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such
Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly
the
related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a
successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Servicer or the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting
as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
the
event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
SECTION
3.04
|
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION
3.05
|
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer,
the
Trustee or Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION
3.06
|
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by
Trustee.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee,
in
addition to its duties under Section 7.02, shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that
the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate
any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have
assumed all of the departing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced
the departing Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same
extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved
of
any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before
it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor
Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the
Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs, and if such predecessor Servicer is the Trustee or it defaults in its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the
Trust).
SECTION
3.07
|
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of
the Mortgage Loans and the provisions of any applicable insurance policies
provided to the Servicer. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer
may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable,
any
penalty interest or any provisions of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related
Mortgagor to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising
thereunder, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however,
that
any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization
schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except
as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause
(ii)
above, the Servicer shall make timely Advances on such Mortgage Loan during
such
extension pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section
3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan),
accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to
the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as “forbearance”), provided, however, that the NIMS Insurer’s
prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or
amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have
been
modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of
the
Cut-off Date. The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and
the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall
be
reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.
SECTION
3.08
|
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-
Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain
one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
SECTION
3.09
|
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall establish
and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the
“Escrow Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and
retained. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer
shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans
and
shall deposit in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days
after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the
payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items
in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage
is
not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and
at a
time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement)
out
of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section
3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Escrow Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account
at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect
of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. In
the
event the Servicer shall deposit in a Escrow Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Escrow
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer
will
be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts and will be
obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts when and as necessary
to
avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the
Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the
Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If
any
such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien
with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within 10
Business Days of receipt of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds
necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its
servicing duties, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in the Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and,
to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient,
to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the
Escrow Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing
Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid
to
Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.
SECTION
3.10

Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, in no event more than two
Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, as and
when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than
in
respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it
on
or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage
Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any
particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 10.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with Substitution Adjustments
pursuant to Section 2.03; and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees, late payment charges,
assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and ancillary income (other than
Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection
Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation. In
the
event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more
segregated, non-interest bearing trust accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver
to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references
in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable
Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts
in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then
on
deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any funds reimbursable to
an
Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.29 (unless such amounts are to be
remitted in another manner as specified in the documentation establishing the
related Advance Facility).
If,
by
1:00 p.m. New York time, on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer fails
to
remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts
required to be so remitted by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts
at the prime rate for such date (as set forth in the Wall Street
Journal) for the period commencing on the Servicer Remittance Date through
the Business Day on which such failure is remedied.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior
to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the NIMS Insurer, the
Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account
and
must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the
definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be
a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d).
In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and
the
Trustee, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall so deposit, in
the
Distribution Account:
(i) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;
(iv) any
Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection
with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall;
(v) any
amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement, including,
but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02; and
(vi) any
other
amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
SECTION
3.11
|
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.04:
(i) to
remit
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required
to
be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances
to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of
the
related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage
Loans or REO Properties with respect to which such Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04; or (b) without limiting any
right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any unreimbursed Advances
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections (net
of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances; or (c) subject to 4.04(b), any
unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account
for
future distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding
Distribution Date;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan
or
REO Property, and (c) without limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in
clause (vi) below, any Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan
are
Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
for
Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as additional servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing
Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned
on
funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay
itself, the NIMS Insurer or the Originator, as applicable, with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section
2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date
of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be and any enforcement expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of such breach or defect, including any expenses
arising out of the enforcement of such purchase obligations;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.04;
(vii) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses
incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.16(b);
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.03;
(ix) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;
(x) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.01; and
(xi) to
withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account and not required to
be
deposited therein.
The
foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be
exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, on or prior
to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an
Officers’ Certificate in the form described under Section 4.04(d) shall suffice
for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.
(b) The
Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to
pay to
itself any Trustee Compensation;
(iii) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 9.01(g);
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01;
(v) to
pay
any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
including but not limited to funds required to be paid pursuant to Section
3.06,
Section 4.01, Section 7.02 and Section 8.05; and
(vi) to
pay to
an Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and/or Servicing Advances
pursuant to Section 3.29.
SECTION
3.12
|
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on deposit in such accounts
and
the Trustee may invest the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account or
hold
such funds uninvested (each such account, for the purposes of this Section
3.12,
an “Investment Account”). All investments pursuant to this Section
3.12 shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold
at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised
by a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, and (ii)
no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon or
if
such investment is managed or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. All
such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO
Account, and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall
be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document
of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in
the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.11, Section 3.29 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any
such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account
immediately upon realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee may at its discretion, and without liability, hold the
funds in the Distribution Account uninvested.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of
the
NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action
as
may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the
institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION
3.13
|
Rights
of the Class C Certificateholder.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the majority Holder
of
the Class C Certificates (as long as such majority Holder is not the Servicer
or
an Affiliate of the Servicer or if the Class C Certificates are secured by
an
Indenture, as long as the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer is not the
majority equity holder in such transaction) shall have the right (with the
consent of the Servicing Rights Pledgee, if any), to direct the Trustee to
appoint a qualified successor servicer who will act as successor in all respects
to the Servicer in the event of a Servicer Event of Termination pursuant to
Article VII and (ii) the majority Holder of the Class C Certificates (as long
as
such majority Holder is not the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer or
if
the Class C Certificates are secured by an Indenture, as long as the Servicer
or
an Affiliate of the Servicer is not the majority equity holder in such
transaction) shall have the right to direct the Servicer to transfer the
servicing of any Mortgage Loans Delinquent 120 days or more to a special
servicer in the event of a Special Servicer Trigger Event, for so long as the
appointment of such special servicer shall not cause a downgrade or withdrawal
of the ratings on the Floating Rate Certificates and the Class X
Certificates. A special servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fee for the Mortgage Loans serviced by it and any excess fees due to such
special servicer shall be paid by the majority Holder of the Class C
Certificates.
A
Special
Servicer Trigger Event (“Special Servicer Trigger Event”) shall be in effect
with respect to any Distribution Date if:
(a) the
Servicer’s primary servicer rating for the servicing of residential mortgage
loans is reduced by more than one full level or withdrawn, in each case by
at
least two of the Rating Agencies; or
(b) the
Delinquency Percentage exceeds 30.00%; or
(c)
the
aggregate amount of Realized Losses incurred since the Cut-off Date through
the
last day of the related Due Period (after reduction for all Subsequent
Recoveries received from the Cut-off Date through the Prepayment Period) divided
by the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance exceeds 4.00% with respect
to
such Distribution Date.
SECTION
3.14
|
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the current Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to
the
improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis,
in
each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard
insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is
at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer
will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules
and
requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to
be
collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own
account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan,
or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if
received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Principal Balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan
so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood
insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained
a
flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in
an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming
that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating
in
such program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences
of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may
contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those
commercially available and maintained by competent servicers, in which case
the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first
two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf
of
itself, the Depositor, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any
such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, upon
request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity
bond. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. The
Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance
covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such
requirements.
SECTION
3.15
|
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the
Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also
authorized, to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note, 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that
no
such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the current
underwriting criteria of the Servicer for a mortgage loan similar to the related
Mortgage Loan. In connection with any assumption, modification or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered
a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.
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 by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION
3.16
|
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. Title to any such
property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf
of
the Certificateholders, subject to applicable law. The Servicer shall
be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable
as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11(a) and
Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause,
the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the
restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that
such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be
a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
(A) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(B) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Servicer has
actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property contains such wastes
or
substances, the Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of
foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(vii), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund;
provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.04(d). The
cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(vii), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or
more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), the
Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to Section
4.04. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage
Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent
Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.16(c) shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount
of the Purchase Price. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set
forth in Section 3.17(a), the Trustee shall immediately deliver the Mortgage
File and any related documentation to the Servicer and will execute such
documents provided to it as are necessary to convey the Mortgage Loan to the
Servicer.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Advances
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due
Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the recovery so
allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, in written (with
two
executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.10 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer (or in
a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to it
or
its designee of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer
or
its designee (which, shall be sent by overnight mail at the Servicer’s expense).
Except as otherwise provided herein, no expenses incurred in connection with
any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any request made by
or
on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of two executed copies
of
a written Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a
Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will,
in
lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release
the related Mortgage File to the Servicer or its designee within three Business
Days, which, shall be sent by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer
or
the related Mortgagor, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, execute such documents
provided to it by the Servicer as shall be necessary to the prosecution of
any
such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return
each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor
by
the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in
the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered
to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required
by
law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings
for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be delivered,
to
the Trustee an additional Request for Release certifying as to such liquidation
or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee), the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee (or
the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of the name and address of the Person to
which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or
purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, in written
(with two executed copies) or electronic format (or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate
from
a Servicing Officer), from a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan
was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection
Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO
Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) to the Servicer or its designee within three Business
Days.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the
Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, copies of any court pleadings, requests for
trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale
in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and a
statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of
the
Trustee) will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage,
except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure
or
trustee’s sale.

Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments
of
interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition,
the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale
of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided
in Section 3.29, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred
in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to
a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or otherwise (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to
pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to
the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not
be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess, which it may
withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ix).
SECTION

Reports
to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Not
later
than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to
the
NIMS Insurer and, upon request, to the Trustee and the Depositor the most
current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder
and
to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided
such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION

Statement
of Compliance.
|
The
Servicer will deliver to the Trustee not later than March 15th of each
calendar
year, commencing in 2008, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement of
Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation, in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to
such
officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Such Annual
Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its
use. The Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delgated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee as described
above as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th of such
year, the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such
Annual Statement of Compliance, but in no event later than March 25th of such
year.
Any
failure by the Servicer to deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance required
under this Section 3.20, which Annual Statement of Compliance is requird as
part
of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund, shall constitute a Servicer
Event
of Termination, and the Trustee may (at the direction of the Depositor)
terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement
without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary)
of
any compensation to the Servicer (other than the Servicer’s rights to
reimbursement of unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees in the manner provided in this Agreement);
provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly
provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination
of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trustee and
their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person
may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer's obligations under this Section
3.20.
SECTION
3.21

Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or before March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the applicable Servicing
Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit Q) during the preceding calendar
year. The Assessment of Compliance must contain the
following:
(a) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(b) A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria, and
which will also be attached to the Assement of Compliance, to assess compliance
with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’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
it
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 Servicer’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 Q hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Servicer.
On
or
before March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee 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 shall cause and any Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined
by
the Servicer 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.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall address each of the
Servicing Criteria applicable to the Sub-Servicer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, as to any subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function,” 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 Trust Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th of
such year, the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver
such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later
than
March 25th of
such year.
Any
failure by the Servicer (or any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor determined by
the
Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”) to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required
under this Section 3.21, which information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter is requird as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to
identify any subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, shall constitute a Servicer Event of
Termination, and the Trustee may (at the direction of the Depositor) terminate
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement without payment
(notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation
to the Sevicer (other than the Servicer’s rights to reimbursement of
unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing
Fees in the manner provided in this Agreement); provided that to the extent
that
any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain
rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such
provision shall be given effect.
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 Q hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trustee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any
trustee, 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 Trust Fund.
Each
of
the Servicer and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor
and
the Trustee, as applicable and its officers, directors and Affiliates from
and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s or
the Trustee’s obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21.

Access
to Certain Documentation; Filing of Reports by
Trustee.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
In
addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be
provided to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and to any Person identified to the
Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it,
at
the expense of the Person requesting such access.

Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall, subject to applicable laws,
be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any
REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the
third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of
such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee
and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and
addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect
that
the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on
“prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall separately account for all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any REO Property and shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO
Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period (subject to the
requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a)) as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the REO
Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt
thereof, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain, operate and dispose of such REO
Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall:
(A) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(B) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(C) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(D) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such action will not cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
REMIC, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in
such
Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Servicer.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit
into
the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01,
the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar
month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section
3.23(d).
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition
shall
be carried out by the Servicer in a manner, at such price and upon such terms
and conditions as shall be normal and usual in the Servicing
Standard.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii)
on
the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC
Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports
shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements
of
the Code.

Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
Not
later
than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”)
equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
for the related Distribution Date and (B) its aggregate Servicing Fee received
in the related Due Period and any Prepayment Interest Excess for the related
Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for
any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such
amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed
therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be
obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.

Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is attributable to adjustments
to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were
made
by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of
notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the Collection Account from its
own
funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect
of
any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge

Solicitations.

From
and
after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it will not take any action
or
permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents and Affiliates,
or
by any independent contractors or independent mortgage brokerage companies
on
the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail or electronic mail,
solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing
such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may solicit any Mortgagor
for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of mortgage,
a
request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or verbal
communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, another
mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the mortgagor or the mortgagor

Advance
Facility.
|
The
Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, is hereby authorized to enter
into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”)
under which (1) the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another Person
(together with such Person’s successors and assigns, an “Advancing Person”) the
Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or
Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all
Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant
to this Agreement. No consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificateholders or any other party (other than the NIMS Insurer consent)
shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance
Facility. The Servicer shall notify the NIMS Insurer and each other
party to this Agreement prior to or promptly after entering into or terminating
any Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or
Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated
pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant
to
and as required by this Agreement. If the Servicer enters into an
Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to
receive reimbursement for any Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances
(“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or Servicing Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together
with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to
the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance
Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall
identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the reimbursement rights
set
forth in Section 3.11(a)(ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii) and remit such Reimbursement
Amounts in accordance with Section 3.10(b) or otherwise in accordance with
the
documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person or
to a
trustee, agent or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated by such
Advancing Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so required
pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Servicer may direct, and
if
so directed the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance
Facility Trustee the Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no
event shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement
Amounts be included in the Available Funds or distributed to
Certificateholders.
If
the
terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by
the
Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to
the
Trust Fund’s entering such facility.
Reimbursement
Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would
be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the
Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with
respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in this
Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in
the
Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to
this Agreement. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any
duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount,
nor shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any responsibility to track or
monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of
Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
servicer and (upon request) the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan by
loan
basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed
to
any Advancing Person. The successor servicer shall be entitled to
rely on any such information provided by the predecessor servicer, and the
successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such
information. Any successor Servicer shall reimburse the predecessor
Servicer and itself for outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances,
respectively, with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a first in, first out
(“FIFO”) basis; provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written
notice from the predecessor Servicer or the Advancing Person of reimbursement
amounts owed to the predecessor Servicer. Liquidation Proceeds with
respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Advances outstanding
with respect to that Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse Servicing
Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan.
An
Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be
reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations
hereunder are limited to the funding or purchase of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a
subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
Upon
the
direction of and at the expense of the Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute
such acknowledgments provided by the Servicer recognizing the interests of
any
Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Servicer may
cause
to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section
3.29.
The
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be
reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person.
The
Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, any
successor servicer and the Trust Fund for any 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 or breach of its duties hereunder
on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or any successor
servicer.
Any
amendment to this Section 3.29 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 3.29, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder but
with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer, provided such amendment complies with Section
11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the
Servicer. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the Servicer
shall notify the Advancing Person in writing that: (a) the Advances
and/or Servicing Advances purchased, financed by and/or pledged to the Advancing
Person are obligations owed to the Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable
only
from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and
the Trustee and the Trust are not otherwise obligated or liable to repay any
Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advancing Person and (b)
the
Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration
of the Advance Facility between the Servicer and the Advancing
Person.

On

into which the Depositor shall deposit the Basis Risk Cap

(e) In
accordance with the first sentence of Section 4.10(b), on or before each

or to
the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee), any Swap Termination Payment owed
to
the Swap Provider not resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event pursuant
to
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and any Swap Termination Payments owed to
the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will be deposited by the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee into the Swap Account. On each Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Swap Account
(other than amounts representing Swap Termination Payments received by the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee or Net Swap Payments received by the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) prior to any distribution to any
Certificates and pay as follows:
(i) to

On
each
Distribution Date, after making the distributions of the Available Funds, Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow and amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account as set forth above, the Trustee shall distribute the amount
on
deposit in the Swap Account as follows:
(i) concurrently,
to each Class of Class A Certificates and the Class X Certificates, the related
Monthly Interest Distributable Amount and Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount
remaining undistributed on such Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis
based on such respective remaining Monthly Interest Distributable Amount and
Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount;
(ii) sequentially,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates,
Class M-4 Certificates, Class M-5 Certificates, Class M-6 Certificates, Class
M-7 Certificates, Class M-8 Certificates, Class M-9 Certificates and Class
M-10
Certificates, in that order, the related Monthly Interest Distributable Amount
and Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, to the extent remaining undistributed

Amount;
(iv) sequentially

Class M-4 Certificates, Class M-5 Certificates, Class M-6 Certificates, Class
M-7 Certificates, Class M-8 Certificates, Class M-9 Certificates and Class
M-10
Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the related Allocated Realized

undistributed on such Distribution Date;
(v) concurrently,
to each Class of Class A Certificates, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover

a
pro rata basis based on such respective Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
remaining;
(vi) sequentially,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates,
Class M-4 Certificates, Class M-5 Certificates, Class M-6 Certificates, Class
M-7 Certificates, Class M-8 Certificates, Class M-9 Certificates and Class
M-10
Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, to
the
extent remaining undistributed on such Distribution Date; and
(vii) any
remaining amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, the aggregate amount distributed under Section
4.01(e)(iii) above on such Distribution Date, when added to the cumulative
amount distributed under Section 4.01(e)(iii) above on all prior Distribution
Dates, will not be permitted to exceed the cumulative amount of Realized Losses
incurred on the Mortgage Loans since the Cut-off Date through the last day
of
the Prepayment Period (reduced by the aggregate amount of Subsequent Recoveries
received since the Cut-off date through the last day of the Prepayment
Period). Any amounts that would otherwise be distributable from the
Supplemental Interest Trust on any Distribution Date under Section 4.01(e)(iii)
above, but for the foregoing proviso, will be retained in the Supplemental
Interest Trust and will be included in amounts available for distribution from
the Supplemental Interest Trust on the next succeeding Distribution Date,
subject to the foregoing proviso in the case of amounts to be distributed under
Section 4.01(e) (iii) above.
(f) On
each
Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of
the
Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period and any Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by the Servicer during the related
Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and
distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class P Certificates and shall
not be available for distribution to the Holders of any other Class of
Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of the Class
P
Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof.
(g) The
Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each
Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of
Certificateholders of the Regular Certificates, by check or money order mailed
to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register,
or by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by
such Certificateholders.
(h) Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts
of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution
to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have
any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable
law.
On
each
Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to
the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.10 shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining
Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to
the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.08. Holders of such Certificates
will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount
of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to
the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in
accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
(i) It
is the
intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates receive
all
principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is
not
otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC
Regular Interests and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal
and interest. If the Trustee determines that the Residual Certificates are
entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to any such distribution
to
any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending
distribution but shall make such distribution in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified in the following
sentence. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an

and
no further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 11.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however,
that such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01
hereof.

The

containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month
to Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, the Swap Provider and the Rating
Agencies via the Trustee’s internet website located at
xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by
calling the Trust Administrator’s customer service desk at
1-866-846-4526. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution
option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail
by
calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have
the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make
such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties
and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above
parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to access to the
Trustee’s internet website, the Trustee may require registration and the
acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trustee will not be liable for the
dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. The
Trustee shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible for
the
content or accuracy of any information provided by third parties for purposes
of
preparing the Distribution Date statement and may affix thereto any disclaimer
it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability
on the part of any other party thereto).
In
the
case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above, the
amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report as a dollar
amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of the Cut-off
Date.
For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trustee from information provided by the Servicer
and
reported by the Trustee based on the OTS methodology for determining
delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of
example, a Mortgage Loan would be Delinquent with respect to a Monthly Payment
due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close of business
on the Mortgage Loan’s next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be
more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment if such
Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan’s
second succeeding Due Date (the “OTS Method”). The Servicer hereby
represents and warrants to the Depositor that this delinquency recognition
policy is not less restrictive than any delinquency recognition policy
established by the primary safety and soundness regulator, if any, of the
Servicer.
(b) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall, upon written request, furnish to the NIMS Insurer and each Person who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of a Regular
Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is
reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the
information set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
prepared and furnished by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to any
requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available to the NIMS Insurer and
the
Residual Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders in respect of such Distribution Date with such other
information as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate.
(d) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall
deliver to the NIMS Insurer, upon request, and each Person who at any time
during the calendar year was a Residual Certificateholder, if requested in
writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide
to such Person a statement containing the information provided pursuant to
the
previous paragraph aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such Person was a Residual Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to
Certificateholders by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code
as
from time to time in force.
(e) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available an updated electronic
loan-level data tape to Bloomberg Financial Markets, Inc., Loan Performance
and
Intex Solutions in a format acceptable to each of Bloomberg Financial Markets,
Inc., Loan Performance and Intex Solutions, and shall supply such electronic
loan-level data tape to each Certificateholder who requests such
information.
SECTION

Remittance
Reports; Advances.
|
(a) By
the
third Business Day following each Determination Date, but in no event later
than
the earlier of (i) such date which would allow the indenture trustee to submit
a
claim to the NIMS Insurer under the Indenture so as to allow a timely payment
by
the NIMS Insurer under the insurance policy related to the notes insured by
the
NIMS Insurer and (ii) the 20th day of
each month
(or if such 20th day is
not a
Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee and the the NIMS Insurer, by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such
other means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date, which
Remittance Reports the Trustee shall use in preparing the statement pursuant
to
Section 4.03. No later than the 20th day of each month, the Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the
information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably
available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably
require to perform the calculations necessary to (i) make the distributions
contemplated by Section 4.01, (ii) to prepare the statements to
Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.03 and (iii) to prepare the Form
10-D contemplated by Section 4.05. The Trustee shall not be responsible to
recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the
Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related
Due
Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent
on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on the related Determination
Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired
during or prior to the related Due Period and as to which REO Property an REO
Disposition did not occur during the related Due Period, an amount equal to
the
excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most
recently ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property
transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon
Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due on
the
related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule for
such
Balloon Mortgage Loan.
On
or
before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if
any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the
related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the
total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by
the
Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn
by the Servicer as permitted in Section 3.11(a)(ii) in reimbursement for
Advances previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on
or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances
to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount
that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide
notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business
on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the
Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to
be
made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the
related Remittance Report.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the Mortgage Loan is paid
in
full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have been recovered, or a Final
Recovery Determination has been made thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee.

Commission
Reporting.
|
The
Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in
connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act.
(a) Reports
Filed on Form 10-D
(i) Within
15
days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the
Exchange Act), the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund
any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required
by
the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the
related monthly statement for such Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition
to the monthly statement for such Distribution Date that is required to be
included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by
the responsible parties set forth on Exhibit R to the Trustee and Depositor
and
directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph
and
the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth
in
the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit R hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution
Date, (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the
Trustee and the Depositor to the extent known by a responsible
officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form (which may be Word or Excel documents
easily convertible to XXXXX format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure
Notification (an “Additional Disclosure Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor
will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be,
the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor
will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred
by
the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
in
Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall, no later than 10 calendar days
after
the Distribution Date, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the
Depositor. Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later
than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date (or the next succeeding
Business Day), (i) the Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
changes to or approval of such Form 10-D and (ii) an officer of the Depositor
shall execute the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such
executed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight
mail). Upon receipt of the executed Form 10- D and in the absence of receipt
of
any written changes or approval, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that
such Form 10-D is in final form and the Trustee may proceed with the filing
of
Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form
10-D needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth
in
subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 4.05. Promptly (but no later than 1 Business
Day) after filing with the SEC, the Trustee will make available on its internet
website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Trustee. Each
party
to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Depositor and the
Trustee of their respective duties under this Section 4.05(a) related to the
timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such
parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties under this Section 4.05(a). 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, and for any erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete
information or certification provided to the Trustee, not resulting from its
own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(iv) Form
10-D
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to
such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” At the date of the filing of each
report on Form 10-D with respect to the Trust Fund, the Depositor shall be
deemed to represent to the Trustee that, as of such date, the Depositor has
filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it
has
been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor
shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after
the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-D if the answer to the questions should be “no.” The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on such representations in preparing and/or filing any such
report.
(b) Reports
Filed on Form 10-K.
(i) On

which a Form 10-K is required to be filed or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being understood
that the fiscal year for the Trust Fund ends on December 31st of each year), commencing
in
March 2008, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund
a
Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such
Form
10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have
been delivered to the Trustee within the applicable time frames set forth in
this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Servicer, (ii)(A)

Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be

Regulation AB, engaged by such parties (with each of the Trustee and the
Custodian, a “Reporting Servicer”) as described under Section 3.21 and (B) if
any Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing
criteria described under Section 3.21 identifies any material instance of
noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if
any
Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria
described under Section 3.21 is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K,
disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report
is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation
report for each Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 3.21 and (B)
if
any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section
3.21 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying
such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting
firm
attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not
included, and (iv) a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification; provided,
however, that the Trustee and the Depositor, at their discretion,
may
omit from the Form 10-K any annual compliance statement, assessment of
compliance or attestation report that is not required to be filed with such
Form
10-K pursuant to Regulation AB. Any disclosure or information in addition to
(i)
through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be reported by the party responsible to the
Depositor and Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to
the
following paragraph and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
except as set forth in the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit R hereto, no later than March 15th of each year that the Trust
Fund is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2008,
(i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Trustee
and the Depositor, to the extent known by a Responsible Officer thereof, in
XXXXX-compatible form (which may be Word or Excel documents easily convertible
to XXXXX format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee
and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii)
the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The
Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed
or
incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure in Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of
the
Form 10-K to the Depositor. Within three Business Days after receipt of such
copy, but no later than March 25th, (i) the Depositor
shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K
and (ii) the senior officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor shall
execute the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such executed
Form
10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail). Upon
receipt of the executed Form 10-K and in the absence of receipt of any written
changes or approval, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form
10-K
is in final form and the Trustee may proceed with the filing of the Form 10-K.
If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs
to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in subsection
(d)(ii) of this Section 4.05. Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after
filing with the SEC, the Trustee will make available on its internet website
a
final executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Trustee. The parties to
this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Depositor and the Trustee
of
its duties under this Section 4.05(b) related to the timely preparation,
execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any
Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of
their duties under this Section 4.05(b), Section 3.20, Section 3.21. Neither
the
Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage
or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare,
execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, 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-K, and for any erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete information
or
certification provided to the Trustee, not resulting from its own negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.
(iv) Form
10-K
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to
such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
the Trustee that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the
preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement
for
the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later
than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the
answer to the questions should be “no.” The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
such representations in preparing and/or filing any such report.
(v) Each
Form
10-K shall include a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification, required to be included
therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Trustee and the Servicer
shall
provide, and each such party shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB engaged by it to provide,
to
the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”),
by March 15th of each year in which the Trust Fund is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of
time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up Certification”) in the form
of Exhibit N-3 hereto (or, in the case of the Trustee, the form attached hereto
as Exhibit N-2) upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the
Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and
Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”)
can reasonably rely. The senior officer in charge of securitization of the
Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust Fund.
In
the event any such party or any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined
by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB engaged by such party is terminated or
resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable subservicing
agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification
to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section with respect to the period
of
time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable subservicing agreement,
as the case may be.
(c) Reports
Filed on Form 8-K
(i) Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), and if requested by the
Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund a
Form
8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file
the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any
disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise
required to be included in Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be
reported by the responsible parties to the Depositor and Trustee and directed
and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the
Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine
or
prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set
forth
in the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit R hereto, for so long as the Trust Fund is subject to the
Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than noon New York time on the
2nd
Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties to
this
transaction shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor,
in
XXXXX-compatible form (which may be Word or Excel documents easily convertible
to XXXXX format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee
and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information,
if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii)
the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information. The Seller will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information in
Form
8-K pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of
the
Form 8-K to the Depositor by noon New York City time on the 3rd Business Day
after the occurrence of a Reportable Event. Promptly, but no later than the
close of business on the third Business Day after the Reportable Event, (i)
the
Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing of any change to or approval
of
such Form 8-K and (ii) an officer of the Depositor shall execute the Form 8-K
and return an electronic or fax copy of such executed Form 8-K (with an original
executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail). Upon receipt of the executed
Form 8-K and in the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval,
the
Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and
the
Trustee may proceed with filing of the Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed
on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee
will
follow the procedures set forth in subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 4.05.
Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the SEC, the
Trustee will, make available on its internet website a final executed copy

each Form 8-K filed by the Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the performance by the Depositor and the Trustee of their respective duties
under this Section 4.05(c) related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section
4.05(c). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 8-K, 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
8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) Suspension

prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trust Fund is able to do
so
under applicable law, the Trustee shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension
Notification relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of
the

(ii) In
the
event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the SEC all or any required
portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement
because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or
delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or
for
any other reason, the Trustee will promptly notify the Depositor either via
mail, e-mail or telephone. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to
this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A
and
10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the
case
of Form 8-K, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure
Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such
disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that that the Trustee
has actual knowledge or has received notice that any previously filed Form
8-K,
10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or any Additional Form 8-K
Disclosure Information or any amendment to such disclosure (other than for
the
purpose of restating any monthly statement for such Distribution Date), the
Trustee will electronically notify the Depositor and such other parties to
the
transaction as are affected by such amendment and such parties will cooperate
to
prepare any necessary 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or
any
amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-K or 10-D shall be signed by the senior officer
in charge of securitization of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the performance by the Depositor and the Trustee of their
respective duties under this Section 4.05(d) related to the timely preparation,
execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under
this
Section 4.05. The Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss, expense,
damage, claim arising out of, or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms
8-K,
10- D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s inability or
failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other
party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15,
Form
12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, and for any erroneous,
inaccurate or incomplete information or certification provided to the Trustee,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(e) Not
later
than March 15 of each year (beginning in 2008) (or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Trustee shall sign
the Trustee Certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-2) for
the
benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and
affiliates.
(f) The
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Depositor, its officers, directors, agents
and
employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (except as otherwise provided
herein with respect to expenses) (including reasonablelegal fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part (i) in connection with, arising
out of, or relating to the Trustee’s failure to file a Form 10-D or Form 10-K in
accordance with this Section 4.05 or any failure by the Trustee to deliver
any
information, report or certification, when and as required under Section 8.01,
(ii) by reason of the Trustee’s willful misfeasance, reckless disregard, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of such obligations pursuant to this
Section 4.05 or (iii) any material misstatement or omission made in the Trustee
Certification; provided, in each case, that with respect to any such
claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), such
indemnified Person shall have given the Trustee written notice thereof promptly
after such indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal
action knowledge thereof; provided, however, that such agreement by the
Trustee to indemnify and hold harmless such Person shall not include or apply
to
any such losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or expenses
or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees or expenses arising from,
caused by or resulting from the actions or omissions of any Person other than
the Trustee, including without limitation the negligence, willful misfeasance,
bad faith or reckless disregard of duties or obligations under or pursuant
to
this Agreement or other applicable agreement by the Depositor or the Servicer,
including without limitation any erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete information
or certification provided to the Trustee by the Depositor or the Servicer in
connection with, or any failure or delay on the part of the Depositor or the
Servicer to provide any information or certification necessary to, the Trustee’s
performance under this Section 4.05. If the indemnification provided for in
this
Section 4.05 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such indemnified
Persons, then the Trustee shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such
indemnified Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of
such indemnified Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and
the
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
the Trustee be liable for any consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.
Any
notice or notification required to be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor
pursuant to this Section 4.05 may be delivered via facsimile to (000) 000-0000
or telephonically by calling (000) 000-0000.
Upon
any
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly
deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or
information.

Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders
of
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-OPT1”
All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be
distributed to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the manner
set
forth in Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable
to the Floating Rate Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class
C
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(c)(iii), rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit
of
the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and will distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and priorities
set forth in Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account (representing payments received by the Cap Trustee under the Basis
Risk
Cap Agreement) after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the
Floating Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable to
the
Trustee as additional compensation. For so long as any Floating Rate
Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates,
the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid
to
it under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement to the Trustee who shall, pursuant to
the
terms of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, return such amount to the counterparty
thereunder.
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
C
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it
is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required
to
prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless
it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year)
for the preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the
creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing
the
partnership, if any. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC
4 to
the Holder of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 5 to the Holder of the Class
C
Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an
“outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in
full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in
the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and
distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates or their
designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of
the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be
payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of
Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting
a
Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
Amounts
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount may have more
than a de minimis value.

Swap
Account.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Supplemental
Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. No later than the Closing Date,
the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate,
segregated trust account to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust, titled,
“Swap Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
in trust for the registered Certificateholders of Soundview Home Loan Trust
2007-OPT1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-OPT1.” Such account shall be
an Eligible Account and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including,
without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this
Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account the
amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any
Swap
Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the
Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from
the
counterparty to a replacement interest rate swap agreement) from funds collected
and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination
of
Available Funds for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof. For
federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each
Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect
of
REMIC 7 Regular Interest SWAP IO to the extent of the amount distributable
on
REMIC 7 Regular Interest SWAP IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining
amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO
Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or
(b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for
federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership; provided,
that the Trustee shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax
returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable
compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such
filings, written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership
agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if
any. The Supplemental Interest Trust will be an “outside reserve
fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(h).
(d) To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, any obligation of the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
shall
be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
(e) The
Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class
C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) shall
be
treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of
the
Class 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 “Class IO
Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based
on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates
at a
per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount
payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate
Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of
such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the
Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the
Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of
this
Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in
respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect
to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class
P,
Class R and Class R-X Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall
be
treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such
Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC 4 and as having been paid
by
such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal
contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P, Class R and Class
R-X
Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular
Interests in REMIC 4, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations
with
respect to, a notional principal contract.
SECTION

Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
|
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate Certificate is
deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular
interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each
Floating Rate Certificates as follows: each Floating Rate Certificate will
be
treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC 4 (regardless of any Swap
Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and
subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect
of
each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event
that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any
shortfall in the Net Swap Payment), will be made by one or more of the REMIC
Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC
Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Floating Rate
Certificate.
(a) The
REMIC
regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate will be entitled
to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts
equal
to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the
maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC
Rate
computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being
payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing,
the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount of
distributions on such Certificate.

(a) The
Trustee (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) is hereby directed to perform the
obligations of the Custodian as defined under the Basis Risk Cap Credit Support

Rights
and Obligations Under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, the Interest
Rate Cap
Agreement and the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Basis Risk Cap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations
under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement (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 Basis Risk Cap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Basis Risk Cap
Agreement, the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap 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 Trust, required
to
enforce the rights of the Trust under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement.
In
the
event that the Basis Risk Cap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third
party under a guaranty relating to the Basis Risk Cap Agreement (such guaranty
the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that
the Basis Risk Cap Provider fails to make any payment by the close of business
on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Basis Risk
Cap
Agreement, the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) shall, promptly
following actual notice of the Basis Risk Cap Provider’s failure to pay, demand
that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the
Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided, that the Trustee (in its capacity
as Cap Trustee) shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance by the Basis Risk Cap Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations
hereunder or pursuant to the Basis Risk Cap Agreement and the 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.
Upon
an
early termination of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement other than in connection
with
the optional termination of the Trust, the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap
Trustee), at the direction of the Depositor, will use reasonable efforts to
appoint a successor basis risk cap provider to enter into a new basis risk
cap
agreement on terms substantially similar to the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, with
a
successor basis risk cap provider meeting all applicable eligibility
requirements. If the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) receives a
termination payment from the Basis Risk Cap Provider in connection with such
early termination, the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) will apply
such
termination payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor
basis risk cap provider. If the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap
Trustee) is required to pay a termination payment to the Basis Risk Cap Provider
in connection with such early termination, the Trustee (in its capacity as
Cap
Trustee) will apply any upfront payment received from the successor basis risk
cap provider to pay such termination payment.
If
the
Trustee (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) is unable to appoint a successor basis
risk cap provider within 30 days of the early termination, then the Trustee
(in
its capacity as Cap Trustee) will deposit any termination payment received
from
the original Basis Risk Cap Provider 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 Trustee (in its capacity
as Cap Trustee) by the original Basis Risk Cap Provider calculated in accordance
with the terms of the original Basis Risk Cap Agreement, and distribute such
amount in accordance with the terms of Section 4.01(d).
Upon
an
early termination of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement in connection with the
optional termination of the Trust, if the Trustee (in its capacity as Cap
Trustee) receives a termination payment from the Basis Risk Cap Provider, such
termination payment will be distributed in accordance with Section
4.01(d).
(b) In
the
event that the Swap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under
the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement (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
Interest Rate Swap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Trustee (in its capacity as 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
Supplemental Interest Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Supplemental
Interest Trust under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
In
the
event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under
a guaranty relating to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (such guaranty the
“Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the
Swap Provider fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day
it
is required to make payment under the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) shall,
promptly following actual notice of the Swap Provider’s failure to pay, demand
that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the
Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided, that the Trustee (in its capacity
as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) shall in no event be liable for any
failure or delay in the performance by the Swap Provider or any Guarantor of
its
obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the
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.
Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement other than in connection
with the optional termination of the Trust, the Trustee (in its capacity as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee), at the direction of the Depositor, will
use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider to enter into a
new
interest rate swap agreement on terms substantially similar to the Interest
Rate
Swap Agreement, with a successor swap provider meeting all applicable
eligibility requirements. If the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee) receives a termination payment from the Swap Provider
in
connection with such early termination, the Trustee (in its capacity as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) will apply such termination payment to
any
upfront payment required to appoint the successor swap provider. If
the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) is required
to pay a termination payment to the Swap Provider in connection with such early
termination, the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee) will apply any upfront payment received from the successor swap
provider to pay such termination payment.
If
the
Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) is unable
to
appoint a successor swap provider within 30 days of the early termination,
then
the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) will
deposit any termination payment received from the original Swap Provider 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 Net Swap Payment, if any, that would
have
been paid to the Trustee (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee) by the original Swap Provider calculated in accordance with the terms
of the original Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and distribute such amount in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.01(e).
(c) Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement in connection with the
optional termination of the Trust, if the Trustee (in its capacity as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) receives a termination payment from the
Swap Provider, such termination payment will be distributed in accordance with
Section 4.01(e).

of the Trust Fund. The Floating Rate Certificates and the Class X Certificates
shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a
Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $25,000 and integral

satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i)
with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for four separate certificates,
each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1

such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made
with
respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall
be

All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to
execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other
action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate
to
the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such
Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
(c) If
(i)(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise the
Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the
“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar
of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, in the
case of (i) and (ii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate
the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on,
and

P
Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made
unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
1933
Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the
1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer (other than in connection
with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an
Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Class R-X Certificates, the
first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor or the first transfer by the
initial transferee of an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any
such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture
or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such
Private Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), (x)
unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the
investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall
require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable
to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being
made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Depositor or (y) the Trustee shall require the transferor
to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee
certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,
which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor.
The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the transferor
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit L hereto in respect of such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the transferee
will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations and
warranties set forth Exhibit J hereto in respect of such interest as if it
was
evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any
such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect
such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described above in this
Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing
Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made unless the proposed transferee
of such Class C Certificate (1) provides to the Trustee and the Swap Provider,
the appropriate tax certification forms that would eliminate any withholding
or
deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the Swap Provider, pursuant to
the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee (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 form (a) upon expiration of any such form, (b) as required
under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (c) promptly upon learning
that such form has 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 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, (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
Supplemental Interest Trust, if applicable, the appropriate tax certification
form that would be required from the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable,
to eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by
the
Swap Provider, pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, to the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee (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 form (x) upon expiration
of any such form, (y) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury
regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such form has become obsolete
or
incorrect. If, under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, such tax
certification form may only be signed by a trustee acting on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, then the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
as
applicable, shall sign such certification form if so requested by a holder
of
the Class C Certificates.
Upon
receipt of any tax certification form pursuant to the preceding conditions
from
a proposed transferee of any Class C Certificate, the Trustee shall forward
each
tax certification form attributable to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to
the
Swap Provider, upon request of the Swap Provider, solely to the extent the
Swap
Provider has not received such IRS Form directly from the Holder of the Class
C
Certificates. Each Holder of a Class C Certificate by its purchase of
such Certificate is deemed to consent to any such IRS Form being so
forwarded. Upon the request of the Swap Provider, the Trustee shall
be required to forward any tax certification received by it to the Swap Provider
at the last known address provided to it, and, subject to Section 8.01, shall
not be liable for the receipt of such tax certification by the Swap Provider,
nor any action taken or not taken by the Swap Provider with respect to such
tax
certification. Any purported sales or transfers of any Class C
Certificate to a transferee which does not comply with the requirements of
the
preceding paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this
Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty to take any action to
correct any misstatement or omission in any tax certification provided to it
by
the Holder of the Class C Certificates and forwarded to the Swap
Provider.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. §
2510.3-101 as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (“Plan Assets”), as certified
by such transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trustee is provided
with
an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of
the
Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA
or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer,
the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with
(i)
the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate
of
the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Private Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Private Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture
or
the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate
of
the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall
have
deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) 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 Transferor of the status of such transferee
as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust or the Cap Trust is in existence, each
beneficial owner of a Floating Rate Certificate or any interest therein, shall
be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the
Floating Rate Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a
Plan
or (ii) (A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59, as amended by XXX 00-00, XXX 0000-00, XXX
0000-00 and PTE 2007-05 (the “Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of
such Certificate and the separate right to receive payments from the
Supplemental Interest Trust or the Cap Trust are eligible for the exemptive
relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 or,
except in the case of a Mezzanine Certificate, 84-14, 91-38, 90-1 or
96-23.
Subsequent
to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Cap Trust, each
Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have represented by
virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein)
that
either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with
Plan Assets or (b) the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such
Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase
or
hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general
account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60), and (iii) the conditions set forth in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the three preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the three
preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any
and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result
of that acquisition or holding.
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate
the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Person
shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such
Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer,
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of
the
following:
(A) an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the
effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who
is
not a Permitted Transferee; and
(B) a
covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee
agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable
to
the Residual Certificates.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that
the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not
permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee
received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall
be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in
fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all
distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so
recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee
to
the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the
Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership
Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such
Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which
may
include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection
with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee
to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder
of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section
or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a
corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the
sole
discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of
such
discretion.
(vi) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal
Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6)
of
the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified
organizations.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring
on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee
and
the NIMS Insurer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
NIMS
Insurer, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal
of
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.

Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in
the
absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section,
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.

The

Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may
treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving

and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
(a) The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the amounts
of
such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include
the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to
above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall
at
all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
the
United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the NIMS
Insurer.
(b) The
Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute
and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with
the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it
for
payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all requirements
of
the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of Federal income
taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the provisions
of
this Agreement applicable to it.

Neither
the Servicer nor the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees

the
Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the
taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor in good faith pursuant
to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Depositor, as
the
case may be, hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and the Depositor, and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor,

be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against (i) any loss, liability
or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement

Trust and the Depositor or the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section

Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account. The
Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
6.04
or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising
prior
to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior
to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer

Servicer
Not to Resign.
|
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries
or
Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict
being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor
servicer to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer in writing and such proposed
successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee and
the
NIMS Insurer prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that
the
proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will
not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the
Certificates; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall
become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above,
the
Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated, with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer, a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Except as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of
its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to
or
subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to
the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary which may be set forth above, the Trustee and the
Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the
Servicer of all the Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this
Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders,

the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its

to
conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth
in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. Except as provided
in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegee
subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and
the

Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to
such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice
to
the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by
it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be
deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO
Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer
in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with
transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this
Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall
be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation
of
such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the
Trust.
SECTION
7.02
|
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
(a) From
the
time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives
a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such
other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement)
shall
be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on
and
after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree
that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume
all of the obligations of the Servicer to make advances. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be
responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain
through reasonable efforts. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto
that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the
transition of servicing obligations is fully effective. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall
be
entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding
the
above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii)
if
the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition
a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of
any
such successor Servicer shall be approved by the NIMS Insurer (such approval
not
to be unreasonably withheld), as evidenced by the prior written consent of
the
NIMS Insurer, and will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal
of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced
by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of
a
successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity
as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage
Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise
have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the
Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The
appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the
predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its
termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant
to Section 3.14, to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06 or to
indemnify the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer pursuant to Section 8.05(c)), nor
shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be
paid
by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from
the assets of the Trust).
(b) In
the
event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery
to
the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer
within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been
provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under
this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed
as successor Servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the
Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor
Servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject
to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Any
successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall during the term of
its
service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for
the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies
of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees
and
agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
3.14.
SECTION
7.03
|
Waiver
of Defaults.
|
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that
the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate and the consent of the NIMS Insurer. Upon any waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies
and the NIMS Insurer.
SECTION
7.04
|
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the
Certificate Register, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency.
(b) No
later
than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which,
with
notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of
Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit
by
mail to all Certificateholders and to the NIMS Insurer notice of such occurrence
unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived
or
cured.
SECTION
7.05
|
Survivability
of Servicer Liabilities.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder,
any
liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall
survive such termination.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
TRUSTEE
SECTION
8.01
|
Duties
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after
the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set
forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which
has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will not
be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. 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 and the NIMS Insurer.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of
all
such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders relating to
the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to
the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer
to
comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii)
of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Event of Termination
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice
of such failure from the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the
Majority Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform,
or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations
of
the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the
Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers
and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION
8.02

Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
|
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the
Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, 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, and the manner of obtaining consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe;
(ii) 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 with such Opinion
of
Counsel;
(iii) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
applicable shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated
in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not
be
answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act;
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Majority
Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee,
not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of
this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost,
expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
(if
requested by the NIMS Insurer) or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed
by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer (if requested by the NIMS Insurer) upon
demand and, if not reimbursed by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer (if requested
by the NIMS Insurer), shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in this clause
(v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
(vi) the
Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no
representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until
such
time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02
and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer;
(vii) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians
or
nominees;
(viii) the
right
of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for
other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such
act;
(ix) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the REO Account made
at
the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(x) the
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could
be
deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian
or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such
compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable
pursuant to Section 3.11.
In
order
to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain
and verify certain information and documentation from the other parties hereto,
including, but not limited to, such parties’ name, address and other identifying
information.
SECTION
8.03

Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication
of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of
this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
or
related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and
authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the
use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds
paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall at
no
time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality,
validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the
perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders
under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition
and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of
any
hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties
of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness
of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Originator or the Servicer with
any
warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document
or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s
receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any
breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02),
any
Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02),
or
any Sub- Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of
the
Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of
the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s duty to review the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall
have
become the successor Servicer).
SECTION
8.04
|
Trustee
May Own Certificates.
|
The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee
and
may transact any banking and trust business with the Originator, the Servicer,
the Depositor or their Affiliates.
SECTION
8.05
|
Trustee
Compensation, Custodial Fee and
Expenses.
|
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, prior to making any distributions to Certificateholders,
the
Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to itself the
Trustee Compensation payable on such Distribution Date consisting of all income
earned on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall
be
provided a copy of the separate fee schedule between the Depositor and the
Custodian. The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to the Custodian, the Custodial Fee prior
to
making any distributions to Certificateholders.
(b) The
Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, shall
be
indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or
expense (not including expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability
or
expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties
under this Agreement for which the Trustee is indemnified under Section 8.05(b)
or (ii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its
duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s obligations
under Article X hereof. It is understood by the parties hereto that a
“claim” as used in the preceding sentence includes any claim for indemnification
made by the Custodian under Section 22 of the Custodial Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not lose any right it may have to
indemnification under this Section 8.05 due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of the Custodian in the performance of its duties under
the
Custodial Agreement or by reason of the Custodian’s reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the Custodial Agreement. Any amounts
payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided by this Section 8.05(a),
or
pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the
Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have
hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the
Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing indemnity shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
(c) The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Custodian or
any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or
Custodian from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Servicer for
actions prior to such resignation or removal. Any payment hereunder made by
the
Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
SECTION
8.06
|
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
|
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports
of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed
to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of
condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the
initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee and the NIMS Insurer at the time such Trustee
is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity
under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
SECTION
8.07
|
Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Swap Provider and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy
of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to
the
successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor or the NIMS Insurer if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable
to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of 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, then the Depositor, the Servicer
or the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor, the Servicer
or
the NIMS Insurer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Depositor, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The
Majority Certificateholders (or the NIMS Insurer upon the failure of the Trustee
to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee by
written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor,
the
Swap Provider and the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best
efforts to appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer in
accordance with this Section.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 8.08.
Any
Person appointed as successor trustee pursuant to this Agreement shall also
be
required to serve as successor supplemental interest trust trustee under the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
SECTION
8.08
|
Successor
Trustee.
|
Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Swap Provider and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No
successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor
Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by either
Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section
8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown
in
the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION
8.09
|
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
|
Any
entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION
8.10
|
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or
any
Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the
NIMS
Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and
to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the
written approval of the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Servicer and
the
NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The
Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed hereunder.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as

(e) The
Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2,
REMIC 3 and REMIC 4 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such
REMIC. The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding
the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with
respect to REMIC 5, REMIC 6 and REMIC 7 and shall act as Tax Matters Person
for
each such REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person,
shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance
duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC

for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other
governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application
of
any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified
person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information
or
reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee,

nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any
REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,

result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and
the
tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of
the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a
tax.
In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created
hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action,
which
is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of
a
Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any
REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to
take
any such action as to which the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities.
To
the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs
or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the
Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders
of
regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in
the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes,
as a result of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of
California for state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer,
the
Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state
and
local taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that
the
Holder of the related Residual Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any,
when
imposed.
(h) The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder,

of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or
substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance
will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as
a
REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the
regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal
on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred

(a) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,

or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Servicer shall indemnify the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”)
resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not
be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided
by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or
in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations
set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
(b) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting
from
such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for
any
such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the
Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for
any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such
Residual Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not
be
deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such
Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have
any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and
in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a
negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

Termination.
|
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor
and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and
the
obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular
Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the
Distribution Date in June 2037. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the
date hereof.
The
Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement on any date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing,
on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of
principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced,
and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and (ii) fair market
value
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon
in
their good faith business judgment (determined as provided in the last sentence
of this paragraph) as of the Close of Business on the third Business Day next
preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to
the
related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c) by (x) the Terminator,
(y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates
and (z) if the Floating-Rate Certificates will not receive all amounts owed
to
it as a result of the termination, the Trustee (provided that if this clause
(z)
applies to such determination, such determination shall, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, be based solely upon an appraisal obtained
as
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph)), plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the
end
of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts and any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider (the
“Termination Price”); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if
the Termination Price is sufficient to result in the payment of all interest
accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of,
each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to
the
NIMS Insurer (as it notifies the Trustee and Servicer in writing). If
the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Terminator,
the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and
the
Trustee as provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, such
determination shall be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon
by
the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
C
Certificates and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such
appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, the Trustee may solely and conclusively rely
on,
and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal in making such
determination.
By
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates
agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer
any
amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class R
Certificates.
(b) In
connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 10.01:
(i) At
least
twenty (20) days prior to the latest date on which notice of such optional
termination is required to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Terminator
shall notify in writing (which may be done in electronic format) the Swap
Provider and the Trustee of the final Distribution Date on which the Terminator
intends to terminate the Trust Fund;
(ii) No
later
than 4:00 pm (New York City time) four (4) Business Days prior to the final
Distribution Date specified in the notices required pursuant to Section 10.01,

Estimated Swap Termination Payment; and
(iii) Three
(3)
Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notices
required pursuant to Sections 10.01, (x) the Terminator shall, no later than
1:00 pm (New York City time) on such day, deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee
shall deposit funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the sum
of
the Termination Price (which shall be based on the Estimated Swap Termination
Payment), and (y) if the Trustee shall have receieved an Officer’s Certificate
stating that all of the requirements for Optional Termination have been met,
including without limitation the deposit required pursuant to the immediately
preceding clause (x) as well as the requirements specified in Section 10.01,
then the Trustee shall, on the same Business Day, provide written notice (which
may be done in electronic format) to the Terminator and the Swap Provider (in
accordanace with the applicable provision of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement)
confirming (a) its receipt of the Termination Price (which shall be based on
the
Estimated Swap Termination Payment), and (b) that all other requirements
specified in Section 10.01 have been met (the “Optional Termination
Notice”). Upon the delivery of the Optional Termination Notice by the
Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence, (i) the optional termination shall
become irrevocable, (ii) the notice to Certificateholders of such optional
termination provided pursuant to Section 10.01 shall become unrescindable,
(iii)
the Swap Provider shall determine the Swap Termination Payment in accordance
with the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (which shall not exceed the Estimated
Swap
Termination Payment), and (iv) the Swap Provider shall provide to the Trustee
written notice of the amount of the Swap Termination Payment not later than
two
(2) Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notices
required pursuant to Sections 10.01.

a
termination pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall assign to the
Terminator each of the representations and warranties made by the Originator
and
the Seller pursuant to the Master Agreement and the Assignment Agreement,
without recourse, representation or warranty.
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Terminator
shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the
Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.
Any
such
purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on
the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination
Price.
(c) Notice
of
any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that
would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon
the
Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Terminator, by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and
not later
than the 25th
day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying
(1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates
will
be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office
or
agency of the Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final
distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein specified.
(d) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for
such
final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their
respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose,
an
amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such Distribution Date.
By
acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual
Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign
and
transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage Loans, and
to
the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(e) In
the
event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution
Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be
withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by
depositing such funds in a separate Servicing Account for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give
a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall
be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders
shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.

any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent
to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking
such
Amendment and satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created
hereunder constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
or cause any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the Trust to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that
the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the parties to this
Agreement shall enter into any amendment to this Agreement that could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Swap Provider hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment
to
this Agreement that is entered into solely for the purpose of appointing a
successor servicer or trustee) without the prior written consent of the Swap
Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the
expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is the
Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the
expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead it shall
be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.

have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt
of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates

Intention

Each

clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the
SEC
from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner
as to
accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be
supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such
amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among
active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel,
or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties
shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional
or
different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary

obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB.

in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein.
Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class I-A-1 Certificate

Balance) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust consisting
primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp.

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-OPT1
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior
to
the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this
Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
person
using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to have made
the
representation made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Principal Balance of
the
Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in
whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates
have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of
the
last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv) the Distribution
Date
in June 2037.
Capitalized
terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-OPT1
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior
to
the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this
Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
person
using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to have made
the
representation made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Principal Balance of
the
Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in
whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates
have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of
the
last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv) the Distribution
Date

thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior

or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the

Pursuant

The

hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly

This

made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage

on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address

or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final

The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment

and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in

the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the

the
contrary.
On

Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Principal Balance of
the
Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in
whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as

Pursuant

similar
laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by
general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered

(v) The
Company is an approved seller/servicer for FNMA and FHLMC in good standing
and

court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit
its
entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage

Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains
any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading;
(xiv) The
transfer of the Mortgage Loans shall be treated as a sale on the books
and
records of Company, and Company has determined that, and will treat, the
disposition of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement for tax and
accounting purposes as a sale. Company shall maintain complete records
for each
Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of
each
Mortgage Loan by Purchaser;
(xv) The
consideration received by the Company upon the sale of the Mortgage loans
constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value for such

(xvi) Company

The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Initial Purchaser and to
any
subsequent Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related
Closing
Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(i) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete,
true
and correct;
(ii) Reserved;
(iii) Except
with respect to payments not yet 30 days past due, all payments required
to be
made up to the close of business on the related Closing Date for such Mortgage
Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; the Company has
not
advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds
from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly
or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage; and except with respect to payments not yet 30 days past
due, there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace,
in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the origination of the
Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) As
of the
origination date of the Mortgage Loan there were no delinquent taxes, ground
rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold
payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other
outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property, and as of
the
related Closing Date there are no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums,
or other
outstanding charges jeopardizing the lien position of the Mortgage Loan,
and to
the best knowledge of the Company, as of the Closing Date, there are no
ground
rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(v) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the
applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority
of
the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Custodian; the substance
of
any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title
insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected
on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in
whole or
in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by
the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement
has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected
in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto
and
there is no basis for the Mortgage Loan to be modified or reformed without
the
consent of the Mortgagor under applicable law. Each Prepayment Charge
or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable
and
collectible under applicable federal, state and local law;
(vii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property
is located, pursuant to insurance policies providing coverage in an amount
not
less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements
to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B)
with
respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of the first lien Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance
of
the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the
operation
of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
and
consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date
of
origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the
amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements
that
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. All such
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company,
its
successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been
paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance
has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect
which
policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's
cost
and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of
the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense
and to
seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans and
applicable to any prepayment penalty associated with the Mortgage Loans
at
origination have been complied with;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder)
is a
valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Company
to
be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second
lien
and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan
which
is indicated by the Company to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c)
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Company to be a
second
lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first
lien on
the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered
in
connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing
and
enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority security
interest
(in each case, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property
described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the
same to
the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to
the lien
of the Mortgage;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who executed the
related Mortgage either in an individual capacity or, provided that the
related
Mortgage is guaranteed by a natural person, as trustee for a family
trust. Each Mortgagor is either a U.S. citizen or a permanent
resident alien who has the right to live and work permanently in the United
States;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making
or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been
paid,
and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or
due to
the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) As
of the
related Closing Date and immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage
Loan
hereunder, the applicable Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable
owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer
and
sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance,
equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
“doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1) or
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property
is
located in California a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, issued
by a
title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and qualified to do business
in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject
to the
exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second
lien
Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Company, its successors and assigns as to
the
first or second priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (including,
if the Mortgage Loan provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount
of
Negative Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) and, with respect
to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment
and
Negative Amortization provisions of the Mortgage Note. Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and
egress to
and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Company is the sole
insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title
insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the
Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage
of such lender's title insurance policy;
(xvii) As
of the
related Closing Date, there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration, and the Company has not waived any default, breach, violation
or
event of acceleration. With respect to each second lien Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date (i) the related first lien mortgage
loan is
in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or
event
of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related
mortgage
note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, (iv) either (A) the first
lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the first lien mortgage (v) the related first lien does
not
provide for or permit negative amortization under such first lien Mortgage
Loan,
and (vi) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required by the holder
of
the first lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in the
Mortgage File. For purposes of the foregoing, a delinquent
payment of less than thirty (30) days on a Mortgage Loan in and of itself
does
not constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration (or
an
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any
grace or cure period, has occurred that would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(xviii) As
of the
related Closing Date, there are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims
which
have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding
that
under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged
Property
which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien
of the
related Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The
Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the Company (and if acquired
by the
Company, the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects with
the
Company’s underwriting guidelines) or by a savings and loan association, a
savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is
supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(xxi) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan which is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable
on
the first day of each month, or such other day of each month as may be
specified
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, in Monthly Payments, which, in the case
of a
Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an
interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay
interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable
Rate
Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on
the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during
the
interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during
the
period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative
Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to
pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, that the Monthly
Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount
of the
Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior to the Payment Adjustment
Date;
provided, further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable
with
respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a
year in
which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of 5 years
and in
any such year the Monthly Payment shall be adjusted to fully amortize the
Mortgage Loan over the remaining term. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan,
the interest-only period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other
period
specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of
such
interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient
to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of
the
Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined
in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan is a
Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(xxii) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Company with
respect
to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage including, without limitation, the
establishment, maintenance and servicing of the Escrow Accounts and Escrow
Payments, if any, since origination have been in all respects legal, proper,
prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing
industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Company and any
predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage
Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any,
all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the
Company
and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits
or
Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been
capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such
escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Company for any work
on a
Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;
(xxiii) As
of the
related Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is free of material damage
and
waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof;
(xxiv) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption

an amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of
such
loan, whichever is greater, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance
with
Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides. For purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (a)
include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and other charges
that the lender imposed as a condition of making the loan, whether they
are paid
to the lender or a third party, and (b) exclude bona fide discount points,

Loan
were disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in
accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations;
(lix) Except
as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
subject to a Prepayment Charge. With respect to any Mortgage Loan
that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment
prior to maturity: (a) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the Mortgagor
(e.g. a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment
Charge;
(b) the Mortgage Loan’s originator had a written policy of offering the
Mortgagor, or requiring third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor, the
option
of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not require payment of such a Prepayment
Charge; (c) the Prepayment Charge was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor
pursuant to applicable state and federal law; (d) no Mortgage Loan originated
on
or after October 1, 2002 provides for prepayment penalties for a term in
excess
of three years and no Mortgage Loan originated prior to such date provides
for
prepayment penalties for a term in excess of five years; and (e) such Prepayment
Charge shall not be imposed in any instance where the Mortgage Loan is
accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout of a delinquent
Mortgage
or due to the Mortgagor’s default, notwithstanding that the terms of the
Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit the imposition of such
Prepayment Charge;

Company has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended
by
the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”);
the Company has established an anti-money laundering compliance program
as
required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite
due
diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for
purposes
of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy
of
the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the said
Mortgagor
to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain,
sufficient information to identify and verify the identification of the
applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to
Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by
the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of
the
Treasury (the “OFAC Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the
OFAC Regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such
Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “specially designated
national or blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC Regulations;

Mortgage Loan is secured by real property or secured by a

property securing the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the
Mortgagor as the Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is
a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended
(the “Georgia Act”). Each Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan”
under the Georgia Act complies with all applicable provisions of the Georgia
Act. No Mortgage Loan subject to the Georgia Act and secured by owner occupied
real property or an owner occupied manufactured home located in the State

and
including March 6, 2003;
(lxii) The
Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product
offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, taking into account such facts
as,
without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit
history, income, assets and liabilities. If the Mortgagor sought
financing through the mortgage loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending
channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the mortgage loan
originator’s standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one
of the standard products. If, at the time of loan application, the
Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered
by any
mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage
Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;
(lxiii) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
did not rely solely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as
the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit.
The
methodology employed related objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income,
assets, and liabilities to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on
such
methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that
at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely
payments
on the Mortgage Loan;
(lxiv) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan which is secured by manufactured housing,
such
Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements for inclusion in residential mortgage

is (or
will be) the principal residence of the Mortgagor upon the origination
of the
second lien Mortgage Loan;

Law;

Company will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,

seq.);

debt of
the related borrower (as the term “borrower” is defined in the regulations
promulgated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State in connection with
Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) unless either (1) (a) the related
Mortgage
Interest Rate (that would be effective once the introductory rate expires,
with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans) did or would not exceed by more
than
2.25% the yield on United States Treasury securities having comparable
periods

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2007 (the
“Agreement”), among Financial Asset Securities Corp., as depositor (the
“Depositor”), Option One Mortgage Corporation, as servicer (the
“Servicer”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the
“Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein
or
in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this
affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and
the
Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect
to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit
that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee
understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included
herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null
and
void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection
with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver
to
the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L
to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such
Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer
is to
be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee 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
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become
due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to
the Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
[_] The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) 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) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) 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
Transferee.
[_] The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
|
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross
assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a
person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets
in
excess of $10 million;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good
faith.
|
[_] None
of the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I
of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
day of
,

Section

“or is effectively designated” after “If an Early Termination Date

|
|
(B)
|
The
definition of Market Quotation in Section 14 shall be deleted
in its
entirety and replaced with the
following:
|
“Market
Quotation” means, with respect to one or more Terminated
Transactions, and a party making the determination, an amount determined
on the
basis of one or more Firm Offers from Reference Market-makers that are
Eligible
Replacements. Each Firm Offer will be (1) for an amount that would be
paid to Party B (expressed as a negative number) or by Party B (expressed
as a
positive number) in consideration of an agreement between Party B and
such
Reference Market-maker to enter into a Replacement Transaction, and (2)
made on
the basis that Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction
or group
of Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or
delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have
been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
after
that Early Termination Date are to be included. The party making the
determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker
that is an
Eligible Replacement to provide its Firm Offer to the extent reasonably
practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different
time zones)
on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the designation or occurrence
of
the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those
Firm
Offers are to be provided (the “bid time”) will be selected in good faith by the
party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each
party is
so obliged, after consultation with the other. If at least one Firm
Offer from an Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine
the
Market Quotation) is provided at the bid time, the Market Quotation will
be the
Firm Offer (among such Firm Offers as specified in clause (C) below)
actually
accepted by Party B no later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the
Early Termination Date. If no Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement
(which, if accepted, would determine the Market Quotation) is provided
at the
bid time, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such
Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions cannot be
determined.
|
(C)
|
If
more than one Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement (which,
if accepted,
would determine the Market Quotation) is provided at the bid
time, Party B
shall accept the Firm Offer (among such Firm Offers) which
would require
either (x) the lowest payment by Party B to the Reference Market-maker,
to
the extent Party B would be required to make a payment to the
Reference
Market-maker or (y) the highest payment from the Reference
Market-maker to
Party B, to the extent the Reference Market-maker would be
required to
make a payment to Party B. If only one Firm Offer from an
Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine the
Market
Quotation) is provided at the bid time, Party B shall accept
such Firm
Offer.
|
|
(D)
|
If
Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations,
Party A
shall use its reasonable efforts to do
so.
|
|
(E)
|
If
the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3)
shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
|
“(3)
Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market
Quotation apply, (I) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to
the
absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated
Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall
pay to
Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing
to Party
B; provided, however, that (x) the amounts payable under the immediately
preceding clauses (II) and (III) shall be subject to netting in accordance
with
Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision
of
this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding
clause (III) shall not be netted-off against any amount payable by Party
B under
the immediately preceding clause (I).”
(g) “Termination
Currency” means USD.
(h) Additional
Termination Events. Additional Termination Events will apply
as provided in Part 5(c).

contemplated hereby. In the event that the Supplemental Interest
Trust and
the proceeds thereof, should be insufficient to satisfy all
claims
outstanding and following the realization of the Supplemental
Interest
Trust and the proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations
of Party

still
outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not
revive. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not have

Timing
ofPayments by Party B upon Early
Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 6(d)(ii), to the extent that all or a portion (in
either case,
the “Unfunded Amount”) of any amount that is calculated as being due in
respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) from
Party B to
Party A will be paid by Party B from amounts other than any
upfront
payment paid to Party B by an Eligible Replacement that has
entered a
Replacement Transaction with Party B, then such Unfunded Amount
shall be
due on the next subsequent Distribution Date following the
date on which
the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance
with
Section 6(d)(ii), and on any subsequent Distribution Dates
until paid in
full (or if such Early Termination Date is the final Distribution
Date, on
such final Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the
date on
which the payment would have been payable as determined in
accordance with
Section 6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will
be payable on
such Distribution Date.
|
(i)
|
Rating
Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall
be
effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer
of any rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either
party unless
each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice
of such
designation or transfer.

Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section
2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding

agreement,
each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have
to set off,
net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment
or
performance of any obligation between it and the other party
hereunder
against any obligation between it and the other party under
any other
agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the
following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will
be subject
to any Set-off.”.
|
(k)
|
Amendment. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amendment
of either
this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement shall
be permitted
by either party unless each of the Swap Rating Agencies has
been provided
prior written notice of the same and such amendment satisfies
the Rating
Agency Condition with respect to S&P and
Fitch.
|
(l)
|
Notice
of Certain Events or Circumstances. Each Party agrees,
upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event or
condition
that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage
of time or
both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event
with
respect to such party, promptly to give the other Party and
to each Swap
Rating Agency notice of such event or condition; provided that
failure to
provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this
Part 5(l) shall
not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination
Event.
|
(m)
|
Proceedings. No
Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other
person to
institute against, or join any other person in instituting
against Party
B, the Supplemental Interest Trust, or the trust formed pursuant
to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings
under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a
period of one
year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and
one day
following payment in full of the Certificates and any

any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement,

application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be
held to be
invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect,
the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
shall
continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had
been executed
with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long
as this
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change,
the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter
of this
Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement
will not
substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the
parties; provided, however, that this severability provision
shall not be
applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any

provision, covenant or condition.

Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A

of
this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately

as a positive
number or, if any of such Market Quotations is expressed
as a negative
number, the Market Quotation expressed as a negative number
with the

(i) Section
7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“Except
with respect to any Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii),
Part 5(d),
Part 5(e), or the succeeding sentence, neither Party A nor Party B
is permitted
to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise)
as a
whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under
the Agreement
or any Transaction unless (a) the prior written consent of the other
party is
obtained, or (b) prior written notice to the Swap Rating Agencies. At
any time at which no Relevant Entity has credit ratings at least equal
to the
Approved Ratings Threshold, Party A may make a Permitted Transfer.”
|
(ii)
|
If
an Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains
an offer that
will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be
the transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B
shall, at Party
A’s written request and at Party A’s expense, take any reasonable steps
required to be taken by Party B to effect such
transfer.
|
(g)
|
Non-Recourse. Party
A acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision
in this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder
are
limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from
the Cap Trust
and the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the priority
of payments and
other terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that
Party A will
not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers,
employees,
agents, shareholders or affiliates of the Party B with respect
to any
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other
obligations in
connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. In
the event that
the Cap Trust and the proceeds thereof, should be insufficient
to satisfy
all claims outstanding and following the realization of the
account held
by the Cap Trust and the proceeds thereof, any claims against
or
obligations of Party B under the ISDA Master Agreement or
any other
confirmation thereunder still outstanding shall be extinguished
and
thereafter not revive. The Cap Trustee shall not have liability
for any failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to
Party A due to
any failure or delay in receiving amounts in the account
held by the Cap
Trust from the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement. Nothing in this Part 5(g) shall preclude Party
A from declaring
an Event of Default or Termination Event as set forth in
this
Agreement.
|
(h)
|
Timing
ofPayments by Party B upon Early
Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 6(d)(ii), to the extent that all or a portion
(in either case,
the “Unfunded Amount”) of any amount that is calculated as being due in
respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e)
from Party B to
Party A will be paid by Party B from amounts other than any
upfront
payment paid to Party B by an Eligible Replacement that has
entered a
Replacement Transaction with Party B, then such Unfunded
Amount shall be
due on the next subsequent Distribution Date following the
date on which
the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance
with
Section 6(d)(ii), and on any subsequent Distribution Dates
until paid in
full (or if such Early Termination Date is the final Distribution
Date, on
such final Distribution Date); provided, however, that if
the date on
which the payment would have been payable as determined in
accordance with
Section 6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will
be payable on
such Distribution Date.
|
(i)
|
Rating
Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall
be
effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer
of any rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either
party unless
each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice
of such
designation or transfer.
|
(j)
|
No
Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section
2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof and notwithstanding
any other
provision of this Agreement of this Agreement or any other
existing or
future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all
rights it may
have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend
or condition
payment or performance of any obligation between it and the
other party
hereunder against any obligation between it and the other
party under any
other agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the
following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section
will be subject
to any Set-off.”.

A
GUARANTEE
OF XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.
XXXXXX
BROTHERS SPECIAL FINANCING INC. (“Party A”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., not in
its individual capacity, but solely as Cap Trustee on behalf of the
Cap Trust
with respect to the Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1, Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2007-OPT1 (“Party B”) have entered into a Master Agreement
dated as of May 15, 2007, as amended from time to time (the “Master Agreement”),
pursuant to which Party A and Party B have entered and/or anticipate
entering
into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”), the Confirmation of each
of which supplements, forms part of, and will be read and construed
as one with,
the Master Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). This
Guarantee is a Credit Support Document as contemplated in the Agreement.
For
value received, and in consideration of the financial accommodation
accorded to
Party A by Party B under the Agreement, XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.,
a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(“Guarantor”), hereby agrees to the following:
(a) Guarantor
hereby unconditionally guarantees to Party B the due and punctual payment
of all
amounts payable by Party A in connection with each Transaction when
and as Party
A’s obligations thereunder shall become due and payable in accordance
with the
terms of the Agreement (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
Guarantor hereby agrees, upon written demand by Party B, to pay or
cause to be
paid any such amounts punctually when and as the same shall become
due and
payable.
(b) Guarantor
hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute
a guarantee
of payment when due and not of collection.
(c) Guarantor
hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Agreement
against Party A (other than as a result of the unenforceability thereof
against
Party B), the absence of any action to enforce Party A’s obligations under the
Agreement, any waiver or consent by Party B with respect to any provisions
thereof, the entry by Party A and Party B into any amendments to the
Agreement,
additional Transactions under the Agreement or any other circumstance
which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a
guarantor (excluding the defense of payment or statute of limitations,
neither
of which is waived) provided, however, that Guarantor shall be entitled
to
exercise any right that Party A could have exercised under the Agreement
to cure
any default in respect of its obligations under the Agreement or to
setoff,
counterclaim or withhold payment in respect of any Event of Default
or Potential
Event of Default in respect of Party B or any Affiliate, but only to
the extent
such right is provided to Party A under the Agreement. The Guarantor
acknowledges that Party A and Party B may from time to time enter into
one or
more Transactions pursuant to the Agreement and agrees that the obligations
of
the Guarantor under this Guarantee will upon the execution of any such
Transaction by Party A and Party B extend to all such Transactions
without the
taking of further action by the Guarantor.
(d) This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the first to
occur of (i)
receipt by Party B of a written notice of termination from Guarantor
or (ii)
none of the obligations of Party A remain outstanding. Termination
of this
Guarantee shall not affect Guarantor’s liability hereunder as to obligations
incurred or arising out of Transactions entered into prior to the termination
hereof.
(e) Guarantor
further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or
be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part
thereof, of
any obligation or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored by
Party B upon an Event of Default as set forth in Section 5(a)(vii) of the
Master Agreement affecting Party A or Guarantor.
(f) Guarantor
hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
protest, order and, except as set forth in paragraph (a) hereof, notice
of any
kind in connection with the Agreement and this Guarantee, or (ii) any
requirement that Party B exhaust any right to take any action against
Party A or
any other person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise
any
right against Guarantor under this Guarantee.
This
Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the
State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles. All
capitalized terms not defined in this Guarantee, but defined in the
Agreement,
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed
by its duly
authorized officer as of the date of the Agreement.

[Form
of
Opinion of Counsel for
Xxxxxx
Brothers Special Financing Inc. and
Xxxxxx
Brothers Holdings Inc.]
May
15, 2007
[COUNTERPARTY
NAME]
[COUNTERPARTY
ADDRESS]
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
I
have
acted as counsel to Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Party A”), and Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Guarantor”), and am familiar with matters pertaining to the
execution and delivery of the Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) dated as
of May 15, 2007 between Party A and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., not in
its
individual capacity, but solely as Cap Trustee on behalf of the Cap
Trust with
respect to the Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2007-OPT1 (“Party B”) and the guarantee of Guarantor (the
“Guarantee”) delivered in connection with
the
Master Agreement.
In
connection with this opinion, I have examined, or have had examined
on my
behalf, an executed copy of the Master Agreement and the Guarantee,
certificates
and statements of public officials and officers of Party A and Guarantor
and such other agreements, instruments, documents and records as I
have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
Except
as
expressly set forth herein, no independent investigation (including,
without
limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public
files,
records or dockets) has been undertaken to determine the existence
or absence of
the facts that are material to my opinions, and no inference as to
my knowledge
concerning such facts should be made.
When
used
herein the phrase “to my knowledge” means to my actual knowledge without
independent investigation.
References
in this letter to “Applicable Laws” are to those laws, rules and regulations of
the State of New York which, in my experience, are normally applicable
to
transactions of the type contemplated by the Master Agreement and the
Guarantee. References in this letter to “Governmental Authorities”
are to executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory
bodies of
the State of New York. References in this letter to “Governmental
Approval” are to any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation
of,
or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority
pursuant
to Applicable Laws.
Based
on
the foregoing but subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications
and
limitations hereinafter expressed, I am of the opinion that:
1.
|
Each
of Party A and Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of
Delaware.
|
2.
|
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement,
in the case
of Party A, and the Guarantee, in the case of Guarantor, are within
its corporate power, have been duly authorized by all necessary

Q
SERVICING
CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer – transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer – aggregator of pool assets
Securities
Administrator – waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer – named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
– safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent – distributor of funds to ultimate investor
Trustee
–
fiduciary of the transaction
Note: The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular
transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities
administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities
administrator may perform these functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.
