Note, if any; and

(b) Following a Document Transfer Event, the Seller shall, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
corporate trust services division of the Custodian within 60 days copies (which
may be in electronic form mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Custodian)
of the following additional documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that originals of such documents or
instruments shall be delivered to the Custodian if originals are required under
the law in which the related Mortgaged Property is located in order to exercise
all remedies available to the Trust under applicable law following default by
the related Mortgagor:
(i) The original recorded Mortgage with evidence of recordation
noted thereon or attached thereto, together with any addenda or riders
thereto, or a copy of such recorded Mortgage with such evidence of
recordation certified to be true and correct by the appropriate
governmental recording office; or a copy of such recorded Mortgage with
such evidence of recordation, or if the original Mortgage has been
submitted for recordation but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by an officer of
Xxxxx Fargo Bank or the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Bank Correspondent to be a
true and correct copy of the original Mortgage submitted for recordation;
(ii) The original of each assumption agreement, modification,

escrow agent or closing attorney to be a true and correct copy of such
document transmitted for recordation, if any;
(iii) For each MERS Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Mortgage Loan,

attorney's certificate of title is customarily used in lieu of a title
insurance policy in the jurisdiction in which the related mortgage
property is located.
(c) If any assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee is in the process
of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall use its best efforts
to cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof to be
delivered to the Custodian promptly following its recordation, but in no event
later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. If any Mortgage has been
recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the
Master Servicer shall take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust Fund
to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for
the purpose of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS. The Depositor shall also cause to be delivered to
the Custodian any other original mortgage loan document included in the Owner
Mortgage File (and, if applicable, the Retained Mortgage File) if a copy thereof
has been delivered. The Depositor shall pay from its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and
expenses incurred by the Trust by reason of the failure of the Depositor to
cause to be delivered to the Custodian within one (1) year following the Closing
Date any assignment of a Mortgage (except with respect to any Mortgage recorded
in the name of MERS) not delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date.
In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Depositor
may, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian the assignment of the
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee in a form suitable for recordation, if (i) with
respect to a particular state the Trustee and the Custodian have received an
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to it that such recording is not required to make
the assignment effective against the parties to the Mortgage or subsequent
purchasers or encumbrancers of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the Depositor has
been advised by each Rating Agency that non recordation in a state will not
result in a reduction of the rating assigned by that Rating Agency at the time
of initial issuance of the Certificates. Set forth on Exhibit Q attached hereto
is a list of all states where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to
obtain the initial ratings of the Certificates. The Custodian may rely and shall
be protected in relying upon the information contained in such Exhibit Q. In the
event that the Custodian receives notice that recording is required to protect
the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to any such Mortgage Loan
for which recordation of an assignment has not previously been required, the
Custodian shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian shall within five
Business Days (or such other reasonable period of time mutually agreed upon by
the Custodian and the Trustee) of its receipt of such notice deliver each
previously unrecorded assignment to the related Servicer for recordation.

[Signature of Officer]
[Officer's Name and Title]
Except where assignments in blank are authorized or in the case of
any Mortgage registered in the name of MERS, assignments of any Mortgage shall
comply with the following:
HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS
TRUSTEE
and its successors and assigns
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian. The Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, acknowledges the receipt of, subject to the provisions of Section
2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the
exception report described in the next paragraph below, the documents referred
to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of
"Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Owner Mortgage File (and in the
case of a Document Transfer Event, the Retained 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 Custodian, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
and the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an initial certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 hereto, to the effect that, except as
may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the
original Mortgage Notes (described in Section 2.01(a)(i)) relating to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedules (other than any Mortgage
Loan that has been paid in full, liquidated or otherwise released as of the date
of such certification, and subject to any exceptions specifically identified in
the exception report annexed to such certification).
The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage File within 45 days
after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30
days after completion of such review to the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor a final certification in the form
of Exhibit F-2 hereto to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list
of exceptions attached thereto, all required documents set forth in Section
2.01(a) have been executed and received and appear regular on their face, and
that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule based on a comparison of the Mortgage Loan identifying number,
Mortgagor name and street address, and in so doing the Custodian may rely on the
purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the
purported genuineness of any signature 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
Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Custodian shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
The Securities Administrator is hereby directed to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreement.
Section 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor. (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, an Owner Mortgage
File (or, if applicable, a Retained Mortgage File) or of a breach of a
representation of warranty of the Depositor in Section 2.04 hereof, in respect
of any Mortgage Loan and, except for a breach of the representations and
warranties set forth in clause (ee) of Section 2.04, such breach materially
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Penalty or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian) shall
promptly notify the Depositor and the Servicer of such defect, missing document
or breach and request that the Depositor cure such defect or breach or deliver
such missing document within 60 days from the date the Depositor was notified of
such missing document, breach or defect. If the Depositor does not deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or cure such breach in all material
respects during such period, the Depositor shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date
following the expiration of such period (subject to Section 2.03(d) and the last
paragraph of this Section 2.03(a)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Custodian,
upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the Depositor the related Owner Mortgage File (and, if applicable, Retained
Mortgage File). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan registered in the
name of MERS or its designee, the Servicer shall reflect such assignment on the
records of MERS), in each case without recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish
to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and the Custodian and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage File (and, if applicable,
Retained Mortgage File). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, the Depositor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from
the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d).
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 2.04 hereof shall survive delivery of the Owner Mortgage
Files (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage Files) to the Custodian and shall
inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive
or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.03(a) to cure,
substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan and to pay the Reimbursement Amount
constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders and to the
Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and
warranties in Section 2.04 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with
respect to any breach by the Depositor of the representation and warranty set
forth in Section 2.04(z), which breach materially and adversely affects the
value of any Prepayment Penalty or the interest of the Trust therein, the
Depositor shall not be required to repurchase such Mortgage Loans as set forth
in this Section 2.03(a). However, the Originator shall remedy such breach as
follows: Upon any Principal Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage
Loan, the Originator shall pay to the Trust the excess, if any, of (x) the
amount of such Prepayment Penalty calculated as set forth in the matrices
attached hereto as Exhibit R over (y) the amount collected from the Mortgagor in
respect of such Prepayment Penalty. Such amount payable by the Originator shall
be paid by the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the month in
which the related Principal Prepayment occurred.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, in the case of a breach of the
Depositor's representation set forth in Section 2.04(i) and (dd) hereof, the
Depositor shall pay to the Trust the Reimbursement Amount. The Reimbursement
Amount shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account within 10 days from the date the Depositor was notified by the Trustee
of the amount of such costs and damages.
(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 Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior
to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to
any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor substitutes an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Depositor delivering to the Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf for such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the documents required by Section 2.01,
together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, the
Custodian shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver
to the Servicer and the Trustee, with respect to such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one
year of the date of substitution, the Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer
and the Trustee a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto
with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections
and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection
Period or Prepayment Period, as applicable, preceding the date of substitution
and the Depositor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that
such substitution has taken place, shall amend the applicable Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms
of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects
to the terms of this Agreement, including all applicable representations and
warranties as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans,
including any substitution pursuant to Section 2.08, the Servicer will determine
the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans (or Mortgage Loan,
in the case of a substitution pursuant to Section 2.08) exceeds the aggregate,
as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on
such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate. On the date
of such substitution, the Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the
related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and notice by the Servicer of
such deposit, shall release to the Depositor the related Owner Mortgage File
(and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage File) and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Depositor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Depositor shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC created
hereunder 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 Seller, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In
addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that
would cause it to be a "defective obligation" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations relating to REMICs, the Depositor shall cure the defect or make the
required purchase or substitution no later than 60 days after the discovery of
the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner
as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor 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.

materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage; the Depositor is the sole insured of such mortgagee title
insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Depositor's interest in
such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any consent of or
notification to the insurer which has not been obtained or made, such mortgagee
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and
effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee, no claims have been made under
such mortgagee title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related

Loans) is payable in monthly payments, resulting in complete amortization of the
Mortgage Loan over a term of not more than 360 months;

there is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with such right of foreclosure;
(u) The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake,
earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar

but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for
any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis; if the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy
for the project; if upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on
the Mortgaged Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood

insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
(A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum amount of

lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land;
(2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold

not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the

opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the

permitted under applicable law. Each such Prepayment Penalty actually charged to
the related borrower is in accordance with the Prepayment Penalty matrices set
forth in Exhibit R;
(aa) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning
of Section 860G of the Code and Treas. Reg. ss.1.860G-2;

origination;
(cc) No Mortgage Loan is serviced by the Trustee or an affiliate of
the Trustee;

Jersey covered purchase loan) is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable
(as such terms are defined in S&P's LEVELS(R) Glossary Version 5.6b, Appendix
E), no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6,
2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act and no Mortgage Loan originated
on or after March 7, 2003 is a "high cost home loan" as defined under the

under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending
law; and
(vii) With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan originated on or
after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related
Mortgage Note requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve
any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan
transaction.

necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement (the
"Servicing Standards").
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future
advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage
Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably
foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the
outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend
the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (iii) cause
any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y)
cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and
the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer
shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to
the Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to them thereby. By the
execution of this Agreement, the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer, a power
of attorney to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable
for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Servicer. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not, without the
Trustee's written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely
under the Trustee's name without indicating the Servicer's representative
capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually
causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same
care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage
servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Certificateholders'
reliance on the Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the
terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i)(a) the Servicer determines that
such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans, (b)
such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and (c)
would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of
Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating
to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a
foreclosure or other involuntary payment. If the Servicer has waived or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Penalty relating to a voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer,
other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, on the date on which the
Principal Prepayment in full is remitted to the Securities Administrator,
deliver to the Securities Administrator the Servicer Prepayment Penalty Amount
with respect to such Mortgage Loan for distribution in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
In the event that a Prepayment Penalty due with respect to any
Mortgage Loan is not timely received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether the Originator is obligated
to pay a related Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount, and if the
Servicer determines that a Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount is due,
the Servicer shall promptly notify the Originator, and the Servicer shall
enforce the Originator's obligations as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to pay any such Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts and, to
the extent that such amounts are received by the Servicer, shall cause such
amounts to be deposited into the Collection Account within one Business Day of
receipt.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from
the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid
in full or as long as the Mortgage Loan remains subject to this Agreement, the
Servicer will diligently collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when
the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures
shall be consistent with the Servicing Standards set forth in this Agreement and
Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as it follows with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own
account. Further, where applicable, the Servicer will take special care in
ascertaining and estimating annual Escrow Payments that, as provided in the
Escrow Agreement, will become due and payable to that end that the installments
payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when
they become due and payable.
Section 3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. In the event
that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes
due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other
covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond
any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall
deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer
shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as it would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs and consistent with Applicable
Regulations and the Servicing Standards, including, without limitation,
advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to
first lien Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice
of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain
title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the
Trust would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of,
or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer
has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, stating that:
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the
Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
B. there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could
be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such
actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
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.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.05(ii).
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject
to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(ii).
Section 3.04 Collection Account, Distribution Account and Reserve
Account. (a) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"). Each Collection Account
shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account within three
Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments and
collections received or made by it after the applicable Cut-Off Date with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, without duplication:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.10, other than proceeds to be held in the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which
are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13;
(vii) all Prepayment Penalties collected by the Servicer in
connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any of the
Mortgage Loans, all Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts paid by
the Originator and all Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts
required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 in connection
with any such Principal Prepayment; and
(viii) all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 2.03.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to Section 3.23, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(v). The foregoing requirements for
deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and
agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges, bad check fees, prepayment penalties that are
not Prepayment Penalties, Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts or
Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts, assumption fees and other similar
fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. Amounts
deposited into the Collection Account in error may be withdrawn at any time.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), on behalf of the Trustee, held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deliver (or cause the Originator to deliver in the case of clause (iii) below)
to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in
the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, (i) that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without
regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be
deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided
herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account, (ii) the amount of all
Prepayment Penalties collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the
Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Penalties received after the
related Prepayment Period), (iii) any Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment
Amount or Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount that became due during the
related Prepayment Period and (iv) amounts reimbursable or payable to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 8.05 and amounts reimbursable or
payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section
9.01(c). These amounts may be sent via a single combined wire transfer. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 3.04(f), amounts in the Distribution Account
shall be deemed to be held on behalf of the related REMICs in accordance with
the REMIC distributions set forth in Section 4.08. The Securities Administrator
may, from time to time, withdraw from the Distribution Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to itself and to the Trustee any amounts owed to itself
and the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05, any amounts owed to itself
pursuant to Section 9.01(c) and any amounts owed to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.01;
(ii) to pay to itself as compensation any interest earned on funds
in the Distribution Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly on
each Distribution Date); and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
(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 3.23. The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator
(and the Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee) of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established upon
request and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall give
notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the
Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Securities
Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to
the Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Securities Administrator
shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
(ii) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;
(iii) any Prepayment Penalties or amounts in connection with the
waiver of such Prepayment Penalties, in each case required to be deposited
pursuant to Section 3.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited in the Distribution
Account pursuant to Sections 2.03, 3.04, 3.16, 3.23 or 4.07; and
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket
hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer's own
funds, without reimbursement therefor.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source,
the Securities Administrator shall, unless such funds have been received from
the Servicer, notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in the
Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder. In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account
any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(b) in connection
with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Distribution Account.
(f) Any Prepayment Penalties, Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment
Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts deposited pursuant to
Section 3.04(a)(vii) shall not be assets of any REMIC created hereunder, but
shall be considered assets of the Grantor Trust held by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Class P
Certificateholders. In addition, any Cap Carryover Amounts that are paid with
respect to the Class A, Class M or Class B-1 Certificates will be treated as
first having been distributed with respect to the Class CE Certificates and then
having been paid outside of the REMICs to the Class A, Class M or Class B-1
Certificateholders.
(g) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the
Reserve Account, held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class M-1,
Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4 and Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8,
Class M-9 and Class B-1 Certificates. The Securities Administrator shall deposit
in the Reserve Account on the date received by it, any Yield Maintenance
Agreement Payment received from the Yield Maintenance Agreement Provider for the
related Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall withdraw from the Reserve Account any Yield Maintenance
Agreement Payment on deposit and apply it in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Class M and Class B-1 Certificates, from the Reserve
Account, any Cap Carryover Amounts for such Classes for such Distribution
Date (after distributions pursuant to clause (xxxiii)(b) of Section
4.02(b)), distributed sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class
M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and
Class B-1 Certificates, in each case up to the Cap Carryover Amount for
each such Class; and;
(ii) to the Class CE Certificates, any remaining amount on deposit
in the Reserve Account.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall account for the Reserve
Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J
of the Code and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.
The beneficial owner of the Reserve Account is the Class CE Certificateholder.
For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred or reimbursed by REMIC 2 to
the Reserve Account shall be treated as distributions by the Securities
Administrator to the Class CE Certificateholder.
(i) Any Cap Carryover Amounts paid by the Securities Administrator
pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the Regular Certificates (other than the Class CE
Certificates) shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator as amounts
paid first to the Class CE Certificates and then to the respective Class or
Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class CE Certificates). In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the Regular
Certificates' (other than the Class CE Certificates) rights to receive payments
of Cap Carryover Amounts as rights in a limited recourse interest rate cap
contract written by the Class CE Certificates in favor of the Regular
Certificates (other than the Class CE Certificates).
(j) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the Class CE Certificates)
to receive payments under the Yield Maintenance Agreement in respect of the
Yield Maintenance Agreement Payments shall be assigned a value of zero.
Section 3.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account. The
Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to
Section 3.04(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 3.04(d);
(ii) first, to the extent the Servicer has not previously reimbursed
the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.07(e), to reimburse the Trustee for any
unreimbursed Advances made by the Trustee and second, to reimburse itself
for any unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer's right
to reimburse itself and the Trustee pursuant to this subclause (ii) being
limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent
payments of (a) principal and/or interest respecting which any such
Advance was made or (b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made;
(iii) first, to the extent the Servicer has not previously
reimbursed the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.07(e), to reimburse the
Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances made by the Trustee and second to
reimburse itself for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid
Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Advances, in each case, to the extent
that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances, and to
reimburse itself and the Trustee for such amounts to the extent that such
amounts are nonrecoverable from the disposition of REO Property pursuant
to Section 3.03 or Section 3.13 hereof;
(iv) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid or expenses incurred
pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(v) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest
earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be
withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b)
the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to
interest to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant
to Section 3.04(ii);
(vi) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section
6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(vii) to reimburse the Servicer (if the Servicer is not an Affiliate
of the repurchasing party), the Securities Administrator or the Trustee,
as the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in
respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation
under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase
Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the
enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(viii) to reimburse the Depositor or the Servicer for expenses and
costs reimbursable to them pursuant to Section 3.24(b); and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow
Accounts. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and
apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand
accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon
request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within
three Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely
payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and
(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair
of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to
effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other
purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The
Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the
Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed
funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by
the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay
interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow
Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient
for such purposes.
Section 3.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely
payments of Escrow Payments, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing
Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only
from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments
or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the
Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to
the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage
Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the
Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the
termination of this Agreement, or (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account
any Insurance Proceeds. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay
to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required
by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such
interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Collections Thereunder; Primary Mortgage Insurance. (a) With respect to each
Mortgage Loan subject to an Escrow Agreement, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, which are or may become a lien
upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire, flood (if applicable) and
hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated
and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as
allowed under the terms of the Escrow Agreement or Applicable Regulations. To
the extent that a Mortgage Loan is not subject to an Escrow Agreement, the
Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The
Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall
effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
(b) For any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination
of greater than 80%, if the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such Mortgage
Loan has primary mortgage insurance, the Servicer shall maintain coverage under
a primary mortgage insurance policy until the Loan-to-Value Ratio on any such
Mortgage Loan is reduced to 78% or lower as a result of principal payments on
such Mortgage Loan or based upon an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Servicer shall be responsible for the payment of all primary mortgage insurance
premiums out of the Servicer's own funds, without any right to reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer shall not assign its obligation under any primary
mortgage insurance policy without the consent of each Rating Agency and the
related primary insurance policy provider. In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank is
no longer Servicer hereunder, Xxxxx Fargo Bank agrees to continue to pay all
primary mortgage insurance premiums for the Mortgage Loans.
Section 3.09 Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the
Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution
from time to time. Upon such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Securities Administrator (and the Securities Administrator shall provide to the
Depositor and the Trustee), a certification or letter agreement, as the case may
be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall
cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such
amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from
becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will
cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally
acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than
the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO
Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the
replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property and (y)
to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be
deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such
Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require
such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at
least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the
amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not
interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his
insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best's
Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the
property subject to the policy is located.
Section 3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In
the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by
an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best's Key
Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then,
to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount
required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other
requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10, and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from
the Trust Fund. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy. Upon request of the Securities Administrator, the Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian and the Securities Administrator a
certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder
that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the
"Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad
coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or
other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage
Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure
the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any
insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the
Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be in an amount
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon request of the Trustee, the
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the
surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions
insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. (a)
In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, or in the event
the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under
the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as
shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an
attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is
located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Trustee. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01, the
Servicer is hereby authorized to acquire, transfer and dispose of any REO
Property taken in the name of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.13 without
further documentation of its authority as attorney in fact for the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust.
(b) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of
the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust
Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service, more than 60 days before
the day on which the above-mentioned grace period would otherwise expire, an
extension of the above-mentioned grace period, unless the Servicer obtains an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed and delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee, to
the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
such period will not: (i) result in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC
constituting any part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such
Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Collection Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel,
as provided in Section 3.05.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of
the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income
earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections
860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related REMIC of
any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall cause each
REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and
possession thereof and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least
annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written or
electronic report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the
Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the
Trustee upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may
temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the
REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall
deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis, within three Business Days
of receipt, into the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to
the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the
fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO
Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month, if
applicable. Such operation statement shall be accompanied by such other
information as the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall reasonably
request.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the
Certificateholders' interests.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO Property
was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing
Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition
of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such
REO Disposition. The Servicer shall be entitled to an REO Disposition Fee upon
each REO Disposition, and may withhold and retain the REO Disposition Fee from
Liquidation Proceeds. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payments
to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account
and shall be distributed to the Trust in the month following receipt thereof 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 and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the
effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).
Section 3.14 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and
modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is
about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under
applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Note. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in
all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this
Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or
substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which
copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the
related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any
such assumption or substitution agreements. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.01, in connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement,
the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall
remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the
stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not
be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be
deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any
such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall
be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.15 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Trust, the Credit Risk Manager shall
provide reports and recommendations as to loss mitigation activities concerning
Mortgage Loans that are past due, are in default, as to which there has been
commencement of foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise
of remedies, as to which any obligor is the subject of bankruptcy, receivership,
or an arrangement of creditors, or which have become REO Properties. Such
reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided pursuant to
the Credit Risk Management Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager shall look solely
to the Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) and loan-level information and data relating to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The Credit Risk Manager may be removed at any time by a vote of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing at least 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates. After any such termination, the
Credit Risk Manager shall have no further obligations hereunder, and shall no
longer be entitled to the Credit Risk Manager Fee.
Section 3.16 Optional Purchases of 60+ Day Delinquent Loans. (a) The
Depositor may, at its option, purchase any 60+ Day Delinquent Loan or any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu
of foreclosure during the following time periods: (i) beginning on the first day
of the second month following the month in which the Servicer has reported that
it has initiated foreclosure proceedings with respect to such 60+ Day Delinquent
Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second
following month; (ii) beginning on the first day of the second month following
the month in which the Servicer has reported that such defaulted Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day
of such second following month; and (iii) beginning on the day on which the
Servicer accepts a contractual commitment by a third party to purchase the
Mortgaged Property related to the 60+ Day Delinquent Loan or REO Property, with
such repurchase option expiring on the earlier of the last day of the month in
which such contractual commitment was accepted by the Servicer or the day
immediately prior to the day on which the closing occurs with respect to such
third party purchase of the Mortgaged Property related to the 60+ Day Delinquent
Loan or REO Property.
Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer shall
be required to continue to make monthly Advances pursuant to Section 4.07. The
Depositor shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
purchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Depositor shall purchase any such 60+ Day Delinquent
Loan or REO Property that it elects to purchase at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or REO Property
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
written certification from the Depositor of such deposit, shall release to, or
at the direction of, the Depositor, the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files. (a) Upon the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any liquidation of any Mortgage
Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes), the Servicer shall confirm to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator that all amounts required to be remitted to the Distribution
Account in connection with such Mortgage Loan have been so deposited, and the
Servicer shall deliver two copies of such Request for Release to the Custodian.
The Custodian shall, within five Business Days of its receipt of such a Request
for Release, release the related Owner Mortgage File (and Retained Mortgage
File, if applicable) to the Servicer, as requested by the Servicer. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under
any insurance policies, or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property
from the lien of the Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian two
copies of a Request for Release. The Custodian shall, within five Business Days,
release the related Owner Mortgage File (and Retained Mortgage File, if
applicable) to the Servicer. Any such Request for Release shall obligate the
Servicer to return the Owner Mortgage File (and Retained Mortgage File, if
applicable) to the Custodian by the twenty-first day following the release
thereof, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Distribution
Account or (ii) the Owner Mortgage File (or Retained Mortgage File, if
applicable) or any documents contained therein have 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. Upon
receipt of two copies of a Request for Release stating that such Mortgage Loan
was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Distribution
Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO
Property, the Custodian shall amend its records.
Upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause (ii) of the
preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, as
directed by the Servicer, 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 direction shall
include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and a
certification that the execution and delivery thereof by 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 proceeding or
trustee's sale.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to
accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of
Mortgages, (ii) alterations, and (iii) removal, demolition or division of
properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall be considered
by the Servicer unless: (w) either (A) it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or (B) other evidence satisfactory to the
Servicer; (x) the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been
complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any
release does not exceed the maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio
established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans;
and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt
by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer's certificate setting forth the action
proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying
that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been
satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or
partial release so requested by, and furnished to it by, the Servicer. A
proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany
any Servicing Officer's certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this
paragraph.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including REO Properties). The
Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the
form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or
extension fees, late payment charges, prepayment penalties that are not
Prepayment Penalties, Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts, Originator
Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts or REO Disposition Fees, or any other
service-related fees, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required
to be deposited in the Collection Account and similar items, to the extent
collected from Mortgagors. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to the
investment income on funds on deposit in the Collection Account.
Section 3.19 Annual Statement as to Compliance. (a) The Servicer, at
its own expense, will deliver to the Securities Administrator, not later than
February 28 following the end of each calendar year, commencing in February
2006, a Servicing Officer's certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding fiscal year
(or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and of performance
under this Agreement or similar agreements has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for
such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such
obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature
and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy
such default. The Securities Administrator shall forward such certificate to the
Depositor and the Trustee immediately upon receipt.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Securities Administrator is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's,
Securities Administrator's and Depositor's receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from
information contained therein, including the Servicer's compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and the Depositor are entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).
Section 3.20 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants'
Reports. (a) Not later than February 28 following the end of each calendar year
commencing with 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally
recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the
Securities Administrator a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of
representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer
which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in either the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced by
FHLMC, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the
most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated
in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications
that may be appropriate. The Securities Administrator shall furnish a copy of
such report to the Trustee, the Depositor and each Rating Agency immediately
upon receipt. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request, provided that such statement has been delivered
by the Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee's and Securities Administrator's receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator are entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).
Section 3.21 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, Certificateholders that are federally insured savings
and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of
supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and
federal regulations) access to the available documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans, such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable advance request and during normal business hours at the offices of
the Servicer designated by it.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Securities
Administrator its most recent financial statements and such other information
relating to the Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses. The Securities Administrator shall deliver such
financial statements to the Depositor and the Trustee immediately upon receipt.
To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall not disseminate
any information obtained pursuant to the preceding sentence without the
Servicer's written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to
the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel,
auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, each of the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best
efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information.
Section 3.22 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating
Interest. With respect to each Distribution Date, not later than the close of
business on the related Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date
resulting from Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans during the related
Prepayment Period and (B) its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related
Collection Period. The Servicer shall apply Compensating Interest to offset any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to Principal Prepayments in full on
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for
any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of Compensating
Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and
distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date.
Section 3.23 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account. (a) The Servicer may direct in writing any depository
institution maintaining the Collection Account and the Securities Administrator
may direct in writing any depository institution maintaining the Distribution
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.23, each an "Investment Account"), to
invest the funds in such Investment Account 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 Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is
the obligor thereon. 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 Securities Administrator or the Servicer, as
applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the same.
The Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled
to sole possession over each such investment and the income thereon, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be
delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with
any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the
Securities Administrator 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 Servicer or the Securities Administrator:
(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
Securities Administrator 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 in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities
Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution
Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the
Distribution Account.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Securities Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and
Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of 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 3.24 Liability of Servicer; Indemnification. (a) Subject to
clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer (except the Securities
Administrator if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies
and holds the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor (and their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates) and each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and
any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Servicer to perform its duties hereunder and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the Servicing Standards. The Servicer shall immediately notify
the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and each
Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any
other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent
of such party or parties who are the subject of any such claim) the defense of
any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim.
The provisions of this Section 3.24 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken,
or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor or the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific
liability imposed on the Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its
respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective
obligations or duties hereunder.
The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or the Servicer, may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any
appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor,
the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or
the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of
its respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a
representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach
of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by
reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to
any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any action related to its obligations
hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. 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). In such event, unless the Depositor or the Servicer acts without
the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting

performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations
and duties under this Agreement or the applicable Credit Risk Management
Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent

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, or the mortgagor
initiates a title search; provided, further, it is understood and agreed that
promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates which (i) concern
optional insurance products or other additional products or (ii) are directed to
the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based
on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television
advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section, nor is the
Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by
a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be
permitted to include in its monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise,
statements regarding the availability of the Servicer's counseling services with
respect to refinancing mortgage loans.
Section 3.28 Periodic Filings. (a) The Securities Administrator and
the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with

Act of 1934, as amended. The Securities Administrator shall prepare on behalf of
the Trust any Forms 8-K (other than the Form 8-K to which this Agreement is
attached as a exhibit thereto) and 10-K customary for similar securities as
required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission
thereunder, and the Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the
Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall be responsible for signing all
8-Ks (other than the Form 8-K to which this Agreement is attached as an exhibit

be filed.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall file a Form 8-K within 15
days after each Distribution Date, including a Form 8-K with a copy of the
statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit
thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission),
the Securities Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by
applicable law or applicable Commission staff interpretations. Such Form 10-K
shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance
described under Section 3.19 and the accountant's report described under Section
3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the
Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability
with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Securities Administrator's inability or
failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or
willful misconduct. The Form 10-K and any amended Form 10-K shall also include a
certification of the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the
"Sarbanes Oxley Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of
the Servicer in charge of its servicing, and which the Servicer shall deliver to
the Securities Administrator prior to March 15th of each year in which a Form
10-K is to be filed with respect to the Trust.
(c) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the
Securities Administrator shall sign and deliver to the Servicer a certification
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (the "Securities Administrator's
Certification") for the benefit of the Servicer and its officers, directors and
Affiliates as to items 1 through 3 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification;
provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not undertake an
analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K. In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Servicer and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Servicer within the meaning
of the 1933 Act and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this
Section 3.28(c) or the Securities Administrator's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith or any inaccuracy in the Securities
Administrator's Certification. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 3.28(c) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons,
then the Securities Administrator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of
such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Depositor or the Servicer on the one hand and the Securities
Administrator on the other. The Securities Administrator acknowledges that the
Servicer is relying on the Securities Administrator's performance of its
obligations under this Section 3.28(c) in order to perform its obligations under
Section 3.28(b) above.
(d) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such
executed report, statement or information.
(e) If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or
promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in applicable
law occur, which would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of
responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 3.28, to be
conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Securities Administrator will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of
this Section 3.28 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements
and such amendment of this Section 3.28. Any such amendment shall be made in
accordance with Section 11.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and
may result in a change in the reports filed by the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none
of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.28 that
adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
(f) Unless otherwise instructed by the Depositor, prior to January
30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so
under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall execute and file a Form
15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust. At any time after the
filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Certificateholders
of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or
the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to
again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the
Securities Administrator shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form
8-K and 10-K as required pursuant to this Section 3.28.

parties that are unable to use the above distribution option by mailing to them
via first class mail a paper copy of the Distribution Date Statement, upon
request of any such party made by calling the customer service desk and
indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the

Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all parties
regarding any such change.
The Securities Administrator may fully rely upon and shall have no
liability with respect to information with respect to the Mortgage Loans
provided by the Servicer.
In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i),
(ii) and (xiii) 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 Closing Date.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to 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

Section 4.07 Remittance Reports; Advances. (a) On the 15th calendar
day of each month, or the following Business Day if such 15th calendar day is
not a Business Day, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator
by telecopy (or by such other means as the Servicer and the Securities
Administrator may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to
the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall
electronically forward to the Securities Administrator in such medium as may be
agreed between the Servicer and the Securities Administrator the information set
forth in such Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date
and such information reasonably available to the Servicer necessary in order for
the Securities Administrator to perform the calculations necessary to make the
distributions and allocations contemplated by Section 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 and to
prepare the Distribution Date Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not
be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to
it by the Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.07(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due
during the related Collection Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Collection Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Collection Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for such Collection Period, over
the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Loan
with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that
would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Loan.
On or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds 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 the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.07, used by the Servicer in discharge of
any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the
Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be
distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and
4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had
not been so used to make Advances. The Securities Administrator will provide
notice to the Servicer by telecopy by 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any
Servicer Remittance Date in the event that (i) the Servicer fails to remit the
Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date
or (ii) the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator on
such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the
related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
earlier of such time as the Trust acquires title to the related Mortgaged
Property or such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of
by the Trust, or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Securities
Administrator.
(e) In the event that the Servicer fails to remit any Advances as
required pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Securities Administrator shall
notify the Trustee by 4:00 p.m. on the Servicer Remittance Date identifying for
each Advance the related Mortgage Loan and the amount of the Advance. On or
before 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Distribution Date immediately
following the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall remit in immediately
available funds to the Securities Administrator such Advances that the Servicer
was required but failed to make for the related Distribution Date; provided that
the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Servicer that an
Advance if made would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, further, that the
Trustee is not obligated to make any Advance that the Trustee, in its good faith
business judgment, determines would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such
determination to be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Trustee
delivered to the Securities Administrator. So long as the Trustee has not
terminated all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.01(b) as a result of a Servicer Event of Termination pursuant to
7.01(a)(i)(A), the Servicer shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to the
Advance made by the Trustee plus interest at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate,
adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no
event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, on any
Advances made by the Trustee. Such interest shall be solely an obligation of the
Servicer and shall not be payable or reimbursable from any assets of the Trust
Fund.

such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Certificate
Registrar substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section

Office of the Securities Administrator a Certificate Register in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Securities Administrator shall
initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The
Securities Administrator as Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same
standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the
Securities Administrator, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04,
8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same
extent as they apply to the Securities Administrator. Any Certificate Registrar

giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to
become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of the Class R-1 and Class
R-2 Certificates, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf
of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to
the Depository by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or to, and deposited with the
Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository, if directed to do so
pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as provided in paragraph
(c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in
the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except
to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records
with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Securities Administrator shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as
representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and
directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi)
the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying
upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the
direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement
under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the
Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Securities Administrator
and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto
are hereby authorized to execute one or more Letter of Representations with the
Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to
register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) If the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor and upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Securities Administrator shall, at the Trust's expense, execute on behalf of
the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate definitive, fully
registered certificates (the "Definitive Certificates"). None of the Depositor
or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) Except with respect to a transfer of the Private Certificates
between or among the Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both, no
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate shall be
made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
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, the Certificate
Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L and the transferee to
execute an investment letter in substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor.
The transferor of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws. For purposes of this
Section 5.02(d) the representations required in any transferor certificate (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and any investment letter
(substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto) shall be deemed to have been
made in connection with the transfer of any Private Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate.
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall have received a representation
from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, (such requirement
is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as
appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code or a plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law")
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or of the Code, nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer other than (except in the
case of the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificates) an insurance
company that represents (or is deemed to represent) that (A) the source of funds
used to purchase the Certificates is an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of PTE 95-60, 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12,
1995)), (B) that there is no Plan with respect to which the amount of such
general account's reserves and liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on
behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or
affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same
employee organization exceeds 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities
of such general account (as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of
PTE 95-60) at the date of acquisition and (C) all Plans that have an interest in
such general account are Plans to which PTE 95-60 applies, or (ii) (except in
the case of the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificates) in the
case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the
name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement
subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf
of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor,
to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate
will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the
meaning of ERISA Section 4975 of the Code on Similar Law and will not subject
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of clause (i) of
the preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to
the Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the
beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless
the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative
representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be void and of
no effect.
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 Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending
change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R-1 or
Class R-2 Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate, the Certificate
Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require
delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the
following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed
transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in a
Class R-1 or Class R-2 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 a Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section, become the Holder of a Class R-1 or Class
R-2 Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R-1 or Class R-2
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the
registration of transfer of such Class R-1 or Class R-2 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 Class
R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R-1 or
Class R-2 Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for
making any distributions due on such Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Certificate
Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R-1
or Class R-2 Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at
the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class
R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the
Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the
Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class R-1 or Class
R-2 Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Disqualified Organization acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate
Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to
the Holder of a Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate or any other Person
having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange
for the sale of a Class R-1 or Class R-2 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 Securities Administrator to the
previous Holder of a Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Securities
Administrator determines that the Holder of a Class R-1 or Class R-2
Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator and it
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class
R-1 or Class R-2 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 Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such
information from the person to whom it is provided.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of
the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of
pursuant to its standard procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor 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 Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust,
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator and
the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying
Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, 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
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall
make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to
the Securities Administrator. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the
obligation to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Securities
Administrator. The Securities Administrator may appoint a successor to act as
Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Securities Administrator as Paying Agent
shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and
rights to indemnity as the Securities Administrator, and the provisions of
Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the
Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Securities Administrator.
Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.05 may at any time
resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor, such
resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.
ARTICLE VI
THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Servicer and the Depositor. The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Servicer herein. The
Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Servicer or the Depositor. Any entity into which the
Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer or the
Depositor shall be a party, or any organization succeeding to the business of
the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor
servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the
qualifications of a successor servicer.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director
or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the
Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may undertake any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.05. The Servicer's right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any
resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with
respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such
resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such
resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely
in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.
Section 6.04 Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that
the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law
with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates,
the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type
and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the
date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator in writing and such proposed successor servicer is
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator; and (b)
each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator prior to the appointment of the successor servicer
stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer
hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current
rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect; provided,
however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until
such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have
assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee
shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any
such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of
business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to
any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties
in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such
delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and
responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior written notice prior to the
delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer's
Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Servicer Events of Termination. (a) If any one of the
following events ("Servicer Events of Termination") shall occur and be
continuing:
(i) (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance, Servicing
Advance or to pay Compensating Interest and such failure described in this
clause (A) continues unremedied until 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Business Day immediately following the Distribution Date following such
failure; or
(B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit in the
Collection Account or Distribution Account any deposit required to be made
under the terms of this Agreement, which failure described in this clause
(B) continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the
first date on which written notice of such failure is given to the
Servicer; or
(ii) The failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any
material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the
Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days, after the date (A) on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been
given to the Servicer by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or by
any Holder of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting
Interests or (B) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer
of the Servicer; or
(iii) The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a court
or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such
decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar
person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order
of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or

liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged,
unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(v) the Servicer becoming ineligible to service for both Xxxxxx Xxx
and Xxxxxxx Mac (unless remedied within 90 days).
(b) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer
Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace
period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not
made by 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following
the Distribution Date, the Trustee may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Trustee shall assume
upon such termination (or, pursuant to Section 4.07(e), prior to such
termination in the case of the obligation to make Advances), pursuant to Section
7.02, the duties of a successor servicer (including, but not limited to, the
duty to make Advances required pursuant to this Agreement) and (y) in the case
of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, the Trustee shall, at the direction
of the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Voting Interests
aggregating not less than 66 2/3%, by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement.
Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to the Securities
Administrator, each Rating Agency and the Depositor. On or after the receipt by
the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section or
successor servicer appointed in connection with Section 7.02; and, without
limitation, the Trustee or successor servicer is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each
Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) in effecting
the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder,
including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee (or the applicable
successor servicer) of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to
assume the Servicer's functions under this Agreement within twenty Business Days
subsequent to such notice, the transfer within two Business Days subsequent to
such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) for the
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution
Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with transferring the servicing to the successor servicer and
amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this
Section shall be paid by the predecessor servicer (or if the predecessor
servicer is the Trustee, the initial servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses, and if such predecessor Servicer
defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the
successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the
Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust).
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances properly made prior to the date of termination.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Within 90
days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the
Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the
Trustee (or such other successor servicer as is approved in accordance with this
Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee (or such other successor servicer) shall be entitled to such
compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such
notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the
Trustee is unwilling to act as successor servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is
legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a
net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any
such successor servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are
in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to
Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall
agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses
associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer,
including costs and expenses of the Trustee. The appointment of a successor
servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor servicer which may
have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any
deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.11 or to indemnify
the parties indicated in Section 3.24 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall
any successor servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
servicer or for any breach by such servicer of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a
Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.
Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults. The Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Interests allocated to the Classes of
Certificates affected by a Servicer Event of Termination may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as
servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that such Holders may
not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. 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 Securities
Administrator and the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) On any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating
Agency.
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a
Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to the Securities Administrator and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer
Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given
to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence.
Section 7.05 Survival 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 AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator. The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the
curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, and the
Securities Administrator, each undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator, respectively. If a Servicer Event of
Termination has occurred (which has not been cured), of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee 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 person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.
Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor
hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material
respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so
requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 and the Securities
Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 the
Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, 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 or the
Securities Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts
related thereto;
(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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
Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under
this Agreement; and
(iv) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the
obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section
7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator obtains actual knowledge of
such failure or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator receives
written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 or the Securities Administrator
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 Securities Administrator 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 and the
Securities Administrator. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and
rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon, any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with
counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice
or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it
by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of the
Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be answerable for other
than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such
act;
(iv) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents,
unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholders;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 or the Securities
Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon
demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of
the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors;
(vi) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
accountable, have any liability or make any representation as to any acts
or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may
be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02;
(vii) each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may
execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a
custodian and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and
(viii) the right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to
perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act.
Section 8.03 Trustee and Securities Administrator 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 neither the Trustee nor
the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for the correctness of
the same. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Securities
Administrator on the Certificates, in the case of the Securities Administrator)
or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document. Neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall 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. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to
the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan,
or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders
under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition
and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any
hazard insurance thereon (other than the Trustee's responsibility 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 the Trustee's responsibility if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the
compliance by the Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation
made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such
warranty or representation (except, in the case of the Trustee, after receipt of
notice 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 the Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee
shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any
Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than the Trustee's responsibility
if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02), taken in the name of the Trust; the failure of the Servicer to act or
perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trust hereunder (other than
the Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); or any action by the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than
the Trustee's responsibility 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 and the Securities Administrator of their obligation to
perform their respective duties under this Agreement. 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.
Section 8.04 Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own
Certificates. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 or Securities
Administrator and may transact any banking and trust business with the Servicer,
the Depositor or their Affiliates.
Section 8.05 Trustee and Securities Administrator Fees and Expenses.
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to the investment income on funds
on deposit in the Distribution Account as set forth in Section 3.23. This shall
constitute compensation to the Securities Administrator for its activities
hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Trustee shall be paid in accordance with
a side letter agreement between the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
The Trust shall reimburse the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross
negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of the Trustee or
Securities Administrator hereunder or that does not constitute an "unanticipated
expense" of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G(b)(3)(ii). In addition, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
their respective officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified
by the Trust from, and held harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense (i) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement, (ii) incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its respective
duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's or the Securities
Administrator's, as the case may be, reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties hereunder or (iii) that does not constitute an "unanticipated expense" of
a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G(b)(3)(ii). The
Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified
by the Trust from, and held harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Custodian in any way related to
or arising out of the Custodial Agreement or any action taken or not taken by
the Custodian and which the Trustee had paid to the Custodian pursuant to the
terms of the Custodial Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i)
that constitutes a specific liability of the Custodian under the Custodial
Agreement or (ii) or incurred by reason of 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
under the Custodial Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII,
the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents shall be
indemnified by the Securities Administrator from, and held harmless against, any
and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred by the Trustee
in connection with or arising out of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence of the Securities Administrator in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement or by reason of the Securities Administrator's reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Subject to the
provisions of this Article VIII, the Securities Administrator and its officers,
directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified by the Trustee from, and
held harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with or arising
out of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the Trustee's
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. This
Section shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or
removal of any Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Securities
Administrator. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall at all
times be (i) 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 or a member of a bank holding system, the aggregate combined
capital surplus of which is at least $50,000,000, provided that its separate
capital and surplus shall at all times be at least the amount specified in
Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (ii) be subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and (iii) have a
minimum long-term debt rating of BBB by Fitch and S&P, and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority. The Trustee shall not
be an affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer. 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 and the
Securities Administrator (other than the initial Trustee or Securities
Administrator) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee or Securities Administrator at the time such
Trustee or Securities Administrator is appointed Trustee or Securities
Administrator, at such entity's expense, 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 or Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee or Securities
Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07. The Securities Administrator (i) may not be the
Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor unless
the Securities Administrator is in an institutional trust department, (ii) must
be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and (iii) must be rated at least A/F-1 by Fitch
and A-1 by S&P (or such other rating acceptable to S&P and Fitch pursuant to a
ratings confirmation). If no successor Securities Administrator shall have been
appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the
Securities Administrator ceases to be the Securities Administrator pursuant to
this Section 8.06, then the Trustee shall perform the duties of the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Rating
Agencies of any change of Securities Administrator.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee and Securities
Administrator. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator, by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee
or Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If no successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall have been so appointed and having accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator.
If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 if at any
time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be legally unable to act,
or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or Servicer may remove the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If the Depositor or
the Servicer removes the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or
Securities Administrator so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator.
The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator by written instrument or instruments delivered
to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee;
the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be in accordance with this
Section.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee and Successor Securities
Administrator. Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Securities
Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, 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 or Securities
Administrator. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator 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 or Securities Administrator all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator 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 or Securities
Administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator 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 or Securities
Administrator. Any entity into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
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 or
the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor
of the Trustee or Securities Administrator 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
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. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders
of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
(it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, acting jointly
may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee
or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.
Section 8.11 Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed
by the Securities Administrator, not in its individual capacity but solely as
Securities Administrator of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings
and agreements made on the part of the Securities Administrator in the
Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by
the Securities Administrator but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Trust.
Section 8.12 Trustee or Securities Administrator May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Certificates. (a) All rights of action and claims under
this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator without the possession of any of the
Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee or Securities
Administrator for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement
and advances of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, or
their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The Trustee shall afford the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in
respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee
responsible for performing such duties. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and such
Certificateholder and shall make available to the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and such Certificateholder for review and copying at
the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or
records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee's duties hereunder. The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act
by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee
under this Agreement or otherwise.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall afford the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during
normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Securities
Administrator in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the
Securities Administrator responsible for performing such duties. The Securities
Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Servicer, the Trustee, the

supervise the performance of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement
or otherwise.

proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement

this Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial
Agreement and any such custodial agreement and to enforce the terms and
provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the

surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File and afforded the same
protections hereunder as the Trustee.
ARTICLE IX
REMIC AND GRANTOR TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Section 9.01 REMIC Administration. (a) The Trustee shall make or
cause to be made REMIC elections for each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 as set forth in
the Preliminary Statement on Forms 1066 as prepared by the Securities
Administrator or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The Securities Administrator shall prepare such Forms
1066 and any other appropriate federal tax or information return and deliver
them to the Trustee on a timely basis for the Trustee's execution. The Trustee
shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall file such forms. The
regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in
the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related
expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling
its duties hereunder. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the
Trust.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be
prepared, and cause the Trustee to sign and the Securities Administrator shall
file or cause to be filed, each REMIC's federal and state tax and information
returns as such REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and
filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. The
Securities Administrator will apply for an Employer Identification Number from
the Internal Revenue Service via a form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for
all REMICs and other tax entities and will also file a Form 8811 with respect to
all such REMICs with the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) The Holder of a Class R-1 Certificate shall be the "tax matters
person" as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with
respect to REMIC 1, and the Securities Administrator is irrevocably designated
as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for such Tax Matters Person for
REMIC 1. The Holder of the Class R-2 Certificate shall be the Tax Matters Person
with respect to REMIC 2, and the Securities Administrator is irrevocably
designated as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for such Tax Matters
Person for REMIC 2. The Securities Administrator, 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 Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if
required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Securities Administrator, as agent 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 Class R-1 or Class
R-2 Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
REMIC Provisions.
(f) The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, and the
Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under
this Agreement to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of
such REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as
necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or the Holder of the Class R-1 or Class R-2
Certificate shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under this Agreement
to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be,
could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.
In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC formed under
this Agreement or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action,
which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder
of the Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate will consult with the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee 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 REMIC 1 or REMIC 2, as applicable, and no such Person
shall take any such action or cause such REMIC to take any such action as to
which the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it
in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) The Holder of a Class R-1 Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on REMIC 1 by federal or state governmental authorities, but
only from amounts, if any, distributable thereon. The Holder of the Class R-2
Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on REMIC 2 by federal
or state governmental authorities, but only from amounts, if any, distributable
thereon. To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by the Class R-1 or
Class R-2 Certificateholder, as applicable, the Securities Administrator shall
pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of future amounts otherwise distributable to
the Holder of the Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate, as applicable, or, if no
such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of the REMIC
Regular Interests or the Certificates, as the case may be.
(h) The Securities Administrator, shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to
each REMIC formed under this Agreement on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC
created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect
to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(j) None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the
Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder
will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
(k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, beginning in 2006,
the Securities Administrator shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's
Certificate stating the Securities Administrator's compliance with those
provisions of this Section 9.01 applicable to it.
(l) The Securities Administrator shall treat (i) the rights of the
Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 and Class R-2
Certificates) to receive Cap Carryover Amounts as a right in interest rate cap
contracts written by the Class CE Certificateholders in favor of the Holders of
the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 and Class R-2
Certificates) and (ii) the rights of the Class CE Certificates under the Yield
Maintenance Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and shall assign such
rights for federal tax return and information reporting a value of zero. The
Securities Administrator shall account for such as property held separate and
apart from the regular interests it holds in each of the REMICs created
hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to satisfy the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of
property rights coupled with regular interests to be separately respected and
shall be interpreted consistent with such regulation. On each Distribution Date,
to the extent the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 and
Class R-2 Certificates) receive interest in excess of their Pass-Through Rate,
such interest will be treated as distributed to the Class CE Certificates,
together with any amount deposited in the Reserve Account in respect of the
Yield Maintenance Agreement, and then paid to the respective Classes of
Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 and Class R-2
Certificates) pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement.
Section 9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition
pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the
Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC pursuant to Article X of this
Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, (v) a
repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (vi) an
optional purchase by the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.16 of this Agreement,
nor acquire any assets for any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund, nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor
accept any contributions to any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund after
the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such
disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect
adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other
than the Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificates, as applicable, and as the regular
interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the
Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or
prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss
of REMIC Status. In the event that any REMIC formed hereunder fails to qualify
as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes
as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the
REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
such person shall indemnify the Holder of the Class R-1 or Class R-2
Certificate, as applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided,
however, that no such person shall be liable for any such Losses attributable to
the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the Class
R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting
from misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R-1 or Class R-2
Certificate, as applicable, on which such person has relied. The foregoing shall
not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the
Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificate, as applicable, 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, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3)
for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to
payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
Section 9.04 REO Property. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable
laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust
hereunder, shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any
REMIC created hereunder with respect to any REO Property which might cause such
REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure" property within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC created
hereunder of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of
section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property"
which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless the Servicer has
advised the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions,
such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC created hereunder
as a REMIC and any income generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not
result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC.
(b) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to sell any REO
Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Servicer shall
dispose of any REO Property before the close of the third calendar year
beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed
legislation and under applicable state law, any REMIC constituting part of the
Trust Fund may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting
its REMIC status or causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon any
REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund. If the Servicer has received such an
extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property
for its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer for such
longer period as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer
has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO
Property by September 30th of the third year after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is
unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the
close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the
applicable period, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO
Property's fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer or (ii)
auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an
auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of
the applicable period.
Section 9.05 Grantor Trust Administration. The parties intend that
the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the right of the Class P
Certificates to receive Prepayment Penalties, Originator Prepayment Penalty
Payment Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts, the right of
the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P, Class R-1 and Class R-2
Certificates) to receive Cap Carryover Amounts, the Reserve Account and the
right of the Class CE Certificates to receive Yield Maintenance Agreement
Payments subject to the obligation of the Class CE Certificates to pay Cap
Carryover Amounts, shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, and the
provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator shall furnish or
cause to be furnished (i) the Holders of the Class P Certificates, (ii) to the
Holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the Class CE Certificates) and
(iii) to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates and shall file or cause to be
filed with the Internal Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other
form as may be applicable, their allocable shares of income and expenses with
respect to the property held by the Grantor Trust, at the time or times and in
the manner required by the Code.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination. (a) The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Securities Administrator to make certain payments to
Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the
Securities Administrator to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall
terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Principal Balance of each
Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (iii) the optional
purchase by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder, or if there is no Majority
Class CE Certificateholder, the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans as described
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
The Majority Class CE Certificateholder or Depositor may, at its
option, terminate the Trust Fund and retire the Certificates on the next
succeeding Distribution Date upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is
less than 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date by purchasing all of
the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum
of the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and except to
the extent previously advanced by the Servicer, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end
of the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such
Mortgage Loans and (ii) REO Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer (the
"Termination Price"). If the Majority Class CE Certificateholder (or, if there
is no Majority Class CE Certificateholder, the Depositor or an affiliate of the
Depositor) is subject to regulation by the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve or
the Office of Thrift Supervision, however, the option may not be exercised
unless the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
is greater than or equal to the Termination Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no party may exercise this optional purchase right unless any
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof has been
paid.
Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery by the party
exercising the optional purchase right on the Determination Date before such
Distribution Date of the Termination Price to the Securities Administrator for
deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities
Administrator for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be
given promptly by the Securities Administrator upon the Securities Administrator
receiving notice of such date from the Depositor by letter to the
Certificateholders and the Securities Administrator mailed not earlier than the
15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not
later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1)
the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be
made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or
agency of the Securities Administrator 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
Securities Administrator therein specified. Not less than five (5) Business Days
prior to such Determination Date relating to such Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor of the amount of any unpaid
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the
Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion
to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that
funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to
be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections
4.01 and 4.02 for such Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall promptly following such
date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final
distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the
remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer shall give
a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto (except with respect to the Class CE and Class P
Certificates) and the Securities Administrator upon transfer of such funds shall
be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and all other
Certificateholders shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event
that the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Depositor exercises its
purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities
Administrator shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of
the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC
constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates) are outstanding:
(i) The Securities Administrator shall designate a date within 90
days prior to the final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans
of complete liquidation of each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and shall specify
such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC;
(ii) After the date of adoption of such plans of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Majority
Class CE Certificateholder or Depositor, as applicable, for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or
cause to be distributed or credited in the order of priority set forth in
Section 4.02 and then (A) to the Class R-1 Certificateholder, all cash on
hand in respect of REMIC 1 and (B) to the Class R-2 Certificateholder, all
cash on hand in respect of REMIC 2 after such payment (other than cash
retained to meet claims) and the Trust shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Securities Administrator as their attorney in fact to: (i)
designate such date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to
carry out such plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms
hereof.

the Private Placement Memorandum, (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or (iv) to comply with any
requirements imposed by the Code; provided, however, that any such action listed

any Certificateholder, as evidenced by (i) delivery to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of written notification
from each Rating Agency that provides, at the request of the Depositor, a rating
for each outstanding Class of Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and
Residual Certificates) to the effect that such amendment will not cause such
Rating Agency to lower or withdrawal of the then current rating of such
outstanding Classes of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency,
or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee.
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the
consent of the Majority Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the
Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner
other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class aggregating at least 66 2/3% of the Voting

Interests required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a
copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies. Prior to the
execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator will not consent to any amendment of the applicable Agreement
unless it shall first have received an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. Each
of the Securities Administrator and Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's or Securities
Administrator's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
neither the Securities Administrator, nor the Trustee shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment,
to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on
any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in
accordance with the terms hereof.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Securities
Administrator shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the
amendment if such Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the
Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and
the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the
Servicer and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all
appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense of
the Trust, but only upon direction of Certificateholders, accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, or (iii)
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Interests shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood
and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of

certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Interests
identified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the

by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Percentage Interests representing denominations as specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator assumes no responsibility for their

register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) certain certificate(s) required pursuant to Section 5.02 of the

registration or qualification. Any transferor desiring to effect such transfer

Certificate Registrar and the Servicer against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the

remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator assumes no responsibility for their

therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Percentage Interests representing denominations as specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or
qualification. If a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration under the 1933 Act, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) certain certificate(s) required pursuant to Section 5.02 of the
Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any transferor desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer against any liability that
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such federal and state laws.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed.

the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this

December 22, 2005, is between Xxxxx Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., a national
banking association ("Xxxxx Fargo Bank" or, the "Seller").
The Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby recite and agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Terms used without definition herein shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of December 22, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, as servicer (the "Servicer"), HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as

(the "Certificates") or, if not defined therein, in the underwriting agreement,
dated November 9, 2005 and terms agreement, dated November 9, 2005 (together,
the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the Company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank and Xxxxxx
Brothers Inc., or in the purchase agreement dated November 9, 2005 and the
purchaser terms agreement, dated November 9, 2005 (together, the "Purchase
Agreement"), among the Company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc.
2. Assignment of Servicing Agreements. Xxxxx Fargo Bank agrees to
sell, and the Company agrees to purchase, the mortgage loans listed in Exhibit I
hereto and all of Xxxxx Fargo Bank's interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans
as the owner in, to and under each Servicing Agreement (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
3. Purchase Price; Purchase and Sale. The purchase price (the
"Purchase Price") for the Mortgage Loans shall consist of $[_________] payable
by the Company to Xxxxx Fargo Bank on the Closing Date in immediately available
funds.
Upon payment of the Purchase Price, Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall be deemed
to have transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Company
all the right, title and interest of Xxxxx Fargo Bank in and to the Mortgage
Loans including all interest and principal received or receivable by Xxxxx Fargo
Bank on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date (and
including scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-Off
Date but received by Xxxxx Fargo Bank on or before the Cut-Off Date and
Principal Prepayments received or applied on the Cut-Off Date, but not including
payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Cut-Off Date), together with all of Xxxxx Fargo Bank's right, title and interest
in and to the proceeds of any related title, hazard, primary mortgage or other
insurance policies, all of Xxxxx Fargo Bank's rights described in Section 2
above, and all other property and rights described in the first paragraph of
Section 2.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company hereby
directs Xxxxx Fargo Bank, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees, to deliver to the
Trustee or Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, all documents, instruments and
agreements required to be delivered by the Company to the Trustee under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; including, without limitation, the documents
required to be delivered under Section 2.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; and upon the occurrence of a Document Transfer Event, the documents
required to be delivered under Section 2.01(b). Xxxxx Fargo Bank further agrees
to deliver such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Company or
the Trustee shall reasonably request.
4. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Xxxxx Fargo Bank
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the Company's
representations and warranties to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement are true and correct, as of the date thereof,
and (ii) Xxxxx Fargo Bank has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent or other person (other than the Company and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc.) who may
be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the
Mortgage Loans. Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees to cure any breach of such
representations and warranties in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees to continue to pay on behalf of the
Company and its successors and assignees, promptly as they become due, any
lender-paid primary mortgage insurance premiums ("LPMI Premiums") with respect
to any lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy (an "LPMI Policy") on each
Mortgage Loan so insured as of the Cut-Off Date, until such Mortgage Loan has
been paid in full or otherwise liquidated; provided, however, that the foregoing
obligation of Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall terminate with respect to all such Mortgage
Loans in the event that either (i) another entity acceptable to the insurers of
such LPMI Policies (the "LPMI Insurers") and the rating agencies rating the
Certificates undertakes to pay such LPMI Premiums, or (ii) Xxxxx Fargo Bank pays
one-time premiums to such LPMI Insurers such that all outstanding LPMI Policies
will remain in force until the related Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or
otherwise liquidated, without the requirement of any further premium payments.
5. Repurchase or Substitution. (a) Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees to
repurchase any Mortgage Loan from the Company (i) for which any document is not
delivered, as provided in paragraph 3 above, (ii) which is found by the Trustee
to be defective in any material respect, as provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, or (iii) which is discovered at any time not to be in
conformance with the representations and warranties referred to in paragraph 4
above and which document relating thereto Xxxxx Fargo Bank does not deliver or
which defect or breach Xxxxx Fargo Bank does not cure (as provided in paragraph
4 above) within 60 days after the date of notice thereof from the Trustee or the
Company, at a price equal to the Purchase Price. In addition, Xxxxx Fargo Bank
hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for any Reimbursement Amount.
Alternatively, Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees, if so requested by the Company to
substitute for any such Mortgage Loan, a new mortgage loan having
characteristics such that the representations and warranties referred to in
paragraph 4 above would not have been incorrect (except for representations and
warranties as to the correctness of the Mortgage Loan Schedule) had such
substitute mortgage loan originally been a Mortgage Loan. Xxxxx Fargo Bank
further agrees that a substituted mortgage loan will meet the requirements of an
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan. Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall remit to the Company,
in cash, the difference between the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan to be substituted and the unpaid principal balance of the substitute
mortgage loan.
(b) In addition, Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall pay (i) the amount of any
Prepayment Premium (to the extent not collected and remitted to the Trust) to
the Trust if Xxxxx Fargo Bank is unable to collect a Prepayment Penalty as a
result of its enforceability being found to be limited or prohibited by
applicable law and (ii) without duplication of any amount payable under clause
(i), the amount due to the Trust by Xxxxx Fargo Bank pursuant to the last
paragraph of Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (any such
amounts, the "Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount"). Xxxxx Fargo Bank
shall remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Collection
Account any Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount by the Servicer
Remittance Date following the month in which a Principal Prepayment was made on
the related Mortgage Loan.
(c) In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank has a right against the
originator or former owner of a Mortgage Loan (the "Prior Holder") for breach of
a representation or warranty regarding the characteristics of such Mortgage Loan
made by the Prior Holder, Xxxxx Fargo Bank may request the Company to repurchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and Xxxxx Fargo Bank agrees that at the time of the
repurchase by the Company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank will repurchase the Mortgage Loan
from the Company at a price equal to the then unpaid principal balance thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate,
through the last day of the month in which such repurchase takes place.
At the time of any such repurchase by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, Xxxxx Fargo
Bank agrees either to promptly (i) liquidate such Mortgage Loan, to the extent
that Xxxxx Fargo Bank's rights in respect of the Prior Holder consist of a claim
for indemnity or (ii) transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Prior Holder at a price
not less than that paid by Xxxxx Fargo Bank to the Company.
6. Underwriting. Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby agrees to furnish any and
all information, documents, certificates, letters or opinions with respect to
the Mortgage Loans, reasonably requested by the Company in order to perform any
of its obligations or satisfy any of the conditions on its part to be performed
or satisfied pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or the Purchase Agreement at
or prior to the Closing Date.
7. Costs. The Company shall pay all expenses incidental to the
performance of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement, including without limitation (i) any recording fees or fees for title
policy endorsements and continuations, (ii) the expenses of preparing, printing
and reproducing the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Underwriting
Agreement, the Private Placement Memorandum, the Purchase Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Certificates and (iii) the cost of delivering
the Certificates to the offices of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. insured to the
satisfaction of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc.
8. Servicing. (a) Xxxxx Fargo Bank hereby represents to the Company
that the Mortgage Loans are serviced by the Servicer.
(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee Rate shall
be as set forth on Schedule I hereto.
(c) On the Closing Date, Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall assign to the
Company its interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans in, to and under each
Servicing Agreement.
9. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall
be in writing, shall be effective only upon receipt and shall, if sent to the
Company, be addressed to it at Xxxxx Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, 0000
Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Vice President, Structured
Finance, or, if sent to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, be addressed to it at Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, Attn: Vice
President, Structured Finance.
10. Trustee Beneficiary. The representations, warranties and
agreements made by Xxxxx Fargo Bank in this Agreement are made for the benefit
of, and may be enforced by, the Trustee and the holders of Certificates to the
same extent that the Trustee and the holders of Certificates, respectively, have
rights against the Company under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect
of representations, warranties and agreements made by the Company therein.
11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Neither this Agreement nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. This Agreement may not be changed in any
manner which would have a material adverse effect on holders of Certificates
without the prior written consent of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected
in consenting to any such change to the same extent provided in Article VIII of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Agreement may be signed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall bind and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank
and their respective successors and assigns.
12. Recharacterization. The parties hereto intend the conveyance by
the Seller to the Company of all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement to constitute a purchase and sale and
not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such conveyance is
held not to constitute a sale under applicable law, it is intended that this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that
the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Company a first priority
security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank have caused
this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers as of the day
and year first above written.

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

to the other party on each date when it enters into a
Transaction that:

representation of the other party regarding the Transaction
(whether written or oral), other than the representations
expressly made in this Agreement or the Confirmation in
respect of that Transaction.
(2) Evaluation and Understanding.
(i) IXIS is acting for its own account and has the
capacity to evaluate (internally or through independent
professional advice) the Transaction and has made its
own decision to enter into the Transaction and
Counterparty is acting solely as Securities
Administrator and is entering into the Transaction at
the direction of the Depositor in accordance with the
Pooling Agreement; it is not relying on any
communication (written or oral) of the other party as
investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into
such transaction; it being understood that information
and explanations related to the terms and conditions of
such transaction shall not be considered investment
advice or a recommendation to enter into such
transaction. No communication (written or oral) received
from the other party shall be deemed to be an assurance
or guarantee as to the expected results of the
transaction; and
(ii) It understands the terms, conditions and risks of
the Transaction and is willing and able to accept those
terms and conditions and to assume (and does, in fact
assume) those risks, financially and otherwise.
(3) Purpose. (A) It is an "eligible contract participant"
within the meaning of Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange
Act, as amended; (B) this Agreement and each Transaction is
subject to individual negotiation by such party; and (C)

traded on a "trading facility" within the meaning of Section
1a(33) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.
(4) Principal. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or
an advisor for it in respect of this Transaction.
7) Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision 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. The last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 6(e)
of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not apply for purposes of
this Transaction.
8) Additional Termination Events. Additional Termination Events will
apply: If a Ratings Event has occurred and IXIS has not, within 30
days, complied with Section 9 below, then an Additional Termination
Event shall have occurred with respect to IXIS and IXIS shall be the
sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination
Event. If transaction does not close there will be no agreement to
terminate and no trust or trustee to be an affected party.
9) Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with
respect to IXIS (or any applicable credit support provider), then
IXIS shall, at its own expense, (i) assign this Transaction within
thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event to a third party that meets
or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider
meets or exceeds, the Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below)
on terms substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is
approved by the Counterparty, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent
agreement of, another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds to
honor IXIS's obligations under this Agreement, provided that such
other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, (iii) post collateral under agreements and
other instruments satisfactory to Fitch and S&P which will be
sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the
Certificates, or (iv) establish any other arrangement satisfactory
to Fitch and S&P which will be sufficient to restore the immediately
prior ratings of the Certificates; provided, that with respect to
clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, each of Fitch and S&P has
reconfirmed the ratings of the Certificates, as applicable, which
was in effect immediately prior thereto. For avoidance of doubt, a
downgrade of the rating on the Certificates could occur in the event
that IXIS does not post sufficient collateral. For purposes of this
Transaction, a "Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to IXIS (or
any applicable credit support provider) if its short-term unsecured
and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below "F-1" by Fitch or
its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced
below "A-1" by S&P (including in connection with a merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction by IXIS or any applicable
credit support provider) such ratings being referred to herein as
the "Approved Ratings Thresholds," (unless, within 30 days
thereafter, each of Fitch and S&P has reconfirmed the ratings of the
Certificates, as applicable, which was in effect immediately prior
thereto).
10) Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6
of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, if Counterparty has satisfied its
payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, then unless IXIS is required pursuant to appropriate
proceedings to return to Counterparty or otherwise returns to
Counterparty upon demand of Counterparty any portion of such
payment, (a) the occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Counterparty shall
not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
with respect to Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and (b) IXIS
shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to
Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of a
Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i) or Section
5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to IXIS as
the Affected Party or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement with respect to IXIS as the Burdened Party. For purposes
of the Transaction to which this Agreement relates, Counterparty's
only obligation under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement is to pay the Fixed Amount on the Fixed Rate Payer Payment
Date.
11) IXIS will, unless otherwise directed by the Trust, make all payments
hereunder to the Securities Administrator. Payment made to the
Securities Administrator at the account specified herein or to
another account specified in writing by the Securities Administrator
