This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of August 1, 2005, among PARK PLACE SECURITIES, INC., as Depositor, HOMEQ SERVICING CORPORATION, as Master Servicer and XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund shall consist of a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.

REMIC I

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other than any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Swap Account and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated as “REMIC I.” The Class R-I Interest shall be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be certificated.

(ii)          the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

 

(iii)

an original Assignment assigned in blank, without recourse;

(iv)         the original recorded intervening Assignment or Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (iii) or the original unrecorded intervening Assignments;

(vi)         the original lender’s title insurance policy or an attorney’s opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, or in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of each such document certified by the applicable Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the applicable Originator, delivery to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the Seller and the Trustee), following the later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in Section 2.01(iii) above in the following form: “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.”, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.” In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of

 


the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided further, however, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) [reserved], (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.

The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

 

SECTION 2.02.

Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests and all other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or shall hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer an acknowledgment of receipt of the Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note within 45 days of the Closing Date and to

 


certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in the form of the Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it or such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the Custodian’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6), (9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or such Custodian was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans. Upon the request of the Master Servicer, any exception report related to the final certification shall be provided in an electronic computer readable format as mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee).

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee or any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to the requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, provide a written report to such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, of all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.

 


 

 

SECTION 2.03.

Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.

(a)          Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall request the Trustee to (and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)(i)      Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(ii)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i) above, on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master Servicer

 


Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge.

(c)          Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof.

For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to

 


each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall cause the Custodian to release to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall request the Trustee to (and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution shall not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(d)          Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Seller, the Master Servicer 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 Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by the Seller. 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 or the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

 

SECTION 3.01.

Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable Regulations, (iii) the terms of this Agreement and (iv) to the extent consistent with the preceding requirements, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

(i)           any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii)          the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;

(iii)        the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv)         the Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction (the “Servicing Standard”).

To the extent consistent with the foregoing the Master Servicer shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee and shall be responsible for, in each case, to the extent provided for under this Agreement and in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or of modification and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of the

 


 

 

 

 

Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon terms and conditions the Master Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond to civil actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing Standard.

At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or recording purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master 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 such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that:

(A)       the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except as provided in Section 4.03);

(B)        the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section 3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable); and

 


 

(C)       the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v) second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC,(ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust 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.

To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iv) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters.

The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02.

Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provisions of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer’s prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer

 


shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”). The Master Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

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

SECTION 3.03.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.04.

Collection Account, Escrow Account and Distribution Account.

(a)        Collection Account. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master 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 in the name of the Trustee one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”) in accordance with this Section 3.04, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall not be responsible for reconciling the Collection Account.

(b)        Deposits to the Collection Account. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

 


 

(i)         all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties;

(ii)         all payments on account of interest (excluding Prepayment Interest Excess collected on any Mortgage Loan during the related Prepayment Period) on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate;

(iii)        all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (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 Servicing Standard), Subsequent Recoveries and any amounts received in respect of the rental of any REO Property prior to REO Disposition;

(iv)        all proceeds related to the purchase, substitution or repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with Section 2.03;

(vii)       all amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03 (for purposes of this clause (vii), the Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of substitution);

(viii)      any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03(b); and

(ix)        all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer and all Prepayment Charges payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

The foregoing requirements for deposit to the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Prepayment Interest Excess, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, modification fees and other ancillary fees (but not Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and shall upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master 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.

(f)         Trustee Deposits to the Distribution Account. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Distribution Account all payments of any nature received from the Master Servicer in accordance with this Agreement.

Any investment earnings or interest paid on funds deposited in the Distribution Account, shall accrue to the benefit of the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from each such account on a daily basis.

From time to time, the Master Servicer and the Trustee may each transfer any account created by it to a different depository institution provided that upon such transfer the written notice is provided to all other parties listed in the preceding sentence.

(x)        to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller) 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 that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;

(xi)        to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(a) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(xii)       to transfer funds in the Collection Account maintained at a particular depository to the Collection Account maintained at a different depository, pursuant to Section 3.04(i);

(xiii)

[reserved]; and

(xiv)      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 Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (xi) above. The Master Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Reporting Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (viii) above.

 


 

(b)        Escrow Account. The Master Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Escrow Account for the following purposes:

(i)         to effect payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items;

(ii)         to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Master 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;

(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;

(vii)       to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement; and

(viii)

to transfer to the Collection Account any Insurance Proceeds.

In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master 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. The Master Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.

(c)        Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes:

(i)         to make distributions to the Swap Account in accordance with Section 4.09;

(ii)         to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01;

 


 

(iii)        to pay to itself and the Custodian amounts to which either is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05;

(iv)        to pay itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.06;

(v)

to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02(b);

(vi)        to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 10.01(g)(iii); and

(vii)

to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

 

SECTION 3.06.

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, the REO Account and the Distribution Account.

(a)        The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, 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 Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee 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 Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account) the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

(i)         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

(ii)         demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment

 


would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b)        All income in the nature of interest from the investment of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation for the Master Servicer’s services pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the REO Account, as applicable, from its own funds 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.

(c)        All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as compensation for the Trustee’s services pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account.

(d)        Funds on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with this Section 3.06 subject to any limitations set forth in Section 4.10 and any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in such account.

(e)        Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 3.07.

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and, as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, 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 Master Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely 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. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due and shall ensure that the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment and that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.

SECTION 3.08.

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances (each measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.13, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program) and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related Mortgaged Property.

 


 

SECTION 3.09.

Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:V or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) or that meets the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of Section 3.08, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

SECTION 3.10.

Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

SECTION 3.11.

Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by

 


law from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

SECTION 3.12.

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a)        The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The

 


foregoing is subject to the provision that: (i) in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan for which the related first lien mortgage loan is not included in the Trust Fund, if, after such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more delinquent and the Master Servicer, after making a Final Recovery Determination, determines that a net recovery that would eliminate or reduce a Realized Loss by more than an immaterial amount is not possible through foreclosure, such Mortgage Loan may be charged off and such Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss.

(b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master 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 Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1)        such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2)        there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed

 


therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c)        Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery shall be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii).

SECTION 3.13.

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a)        The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal

 


Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition shall not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust 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.

(b)        The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

(c)        The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and appropriate to effect the prompt disposition and sale of the REO Property. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

(i)

all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii)

all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

 


 

 

(iii)

all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s obligation to the Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:

(i)         authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms shall give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii)         authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that shall constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii)        authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)        authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such action shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific action may be taken.

The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

(i)         the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

 


 

(ii)         any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii)        none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)        the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(d)        In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.13(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).

(e)        Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.13(a) (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each REO Property “solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition”), each REO disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar properties.

(f)         The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited

 


in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

SECTION 3.14.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.15.

Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties.

The Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

SECTION 3.16.

Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Master Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Neither the NIMS Insurer nor the Master Servicer shall use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary, as requested, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly deliver all documentation to the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer as applicable, and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

SECTION 3.17.

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a)        Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) have been or shall be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall

 


request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

(b)        From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee and any related Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been charged off or liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was charged off or liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, upon request, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the Master Servicer.

(c)        Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

(d)        The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on policies and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the submission of any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File electronically

 


with a digital signature or other identifier to designate the Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting such collateral.

SECTION 3.18.

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest Excess, assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master Servicer only to the extent such amounts, fees or charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h) to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

SECTION 3.19.

Statement as to Compliance.

The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency on or before March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, an Officers’ Certificate, in a form similar to Exhibit K attached hereto agreeable to the parties hereto, stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year in all material respects, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

 


 

SECTION 3.20.

Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed calendar 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. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

SECTION 3.21.

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party’s acknowledgment in writing of a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer regarding any information that is required to remain confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999. Nothing in this Section 3.21 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the borrowers and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.21 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.21.

 


 

SECTION 3.22.

[Reserved].

 

SECTION 3.23.

Advance Facility.

(a)        The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an “Advance Facility”) with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the Trust Fund’s entering such facility.

(b)        If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trustee.

 


 

(c)        All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out” (FIFO) basis.

(d)        In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master Servicer’s right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of such Advancing Person’s financing of Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then remaining unreimbursed.

(e)        Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.24.

Pool Policy; Claims Under the Pool Policy.

(a)        The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the Pool Insurer, with a copy to the Trustee, all claims which may be made under the Pool Policy with respect to the Covered Mortgage Loans. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall take all actions required under the Pool Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Within ten (10) days after the Master Servicer receives notice or otherwise becomes aware that:

(1)

a Borrower is Four (4) Months in Default, or

(2)        proceedings to acquire title to a Borrower’s property have been commenced,

whichever event occurs first, notice thereof shall be given to the Pool Insurer by the Master Servicer upon the form furnished by the Pool Insurer, provided, however, that failure of the Pool Insurer to furnish forms shall not relieve the Master Servicer of the obligation to give notice in any reasonable form within the required time. Thereafter, the Master Servicer shall report monthly to the Pool Insurer in summary form the status of the Borrower’s account, until a claim is submitted to the Pool Insurer or until such Borrower is less than Four (4) Months in Default. Any amount received from the Pool Insurer with respect to any such Covered Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.04(b).

SECTION 4.01.

Distributions.

(a)        On each Distribution Date, the following amounts, in the following order of priority, shall be distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on account of the REMIC I Regular Interests and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I Interest), as the case may be:

With respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans:

(1)        to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I, and each of REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through I-52-B, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Interest for such REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.

(2)        to the extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: first, to REMIC I Regular interests I-1-A through I-52-B starting with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests, and second, to the extent of the product of (a) any Overcollateralization Reduction Amounts multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans and the denominator of which is the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and

(3)        to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest P, (A) all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period and (B) on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.

With respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans:

(1)        to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I and each of REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through II-52-B, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Interest for such REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.

 


 

to the extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: first, to REMIC I Regular interests II-1-A through II-52-B starting with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests, and second, to the extent of the product of (a) any Overcollateralization Reduction Amounts multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans and the denominator of which is the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero.

Such web site is currently located at “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.” Assistance in using the web site can currently be obtained by calling the Trustee’s investor relations desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties unable to use this distribution method may request that a paper copy be mailed to them via first class mail by calling the investor relations desk. The location of such web page and the procedures used therein are subject to change from time to time at the Trustee’s discretion. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way monthly distribution statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third parties for purposes of preparing the monthly statement, and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto). As a condition to access the Trustee’s website, the Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge that in connection with the Trustee’s preparation of the foregoing reports, the Trustee shall rely solely upon the information provided to it in the Remittance Reports.

In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) through (ii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per Single Certificate of the relevant Class.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to the NIMS Insurer and each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such person was a Certificateholder.

The Trustee shall, upon written request, furnish to each Certificateholder, Certificate Owner and the NIMS Insurer, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be provided at the expense of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner in accordance with such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may provide. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Trustee’s duties are limited to the extent that the Trustee receives timely reports as required from the Master Servicer.

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall provide Bloomberg Financial Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) CUSIP level factors for each Class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date, using a format and media mutually acceptable to the Trustee and Bloomberg.

SECTION 4.03.

Remittance Reports and Other Reports to the Trustee; Advances; Payments in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

(a)        On the Master Servicer Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy (or by such other means as the Master Servicer, the Trustee, Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report shall include (i) the amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after giving effect to such Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer, within fifteen days after a request from any of the Trustee, Ameriquest Mortgage Company or the NIMS Insurer, shall forward a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business of any prior Distribution Date, showing, for the period covered by such statement information regarding the Collection Account that is mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Seller. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or the Certificate Owner and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request (and the Trustee shall promptly request such report from the Master Servicer upon receipt of such request), at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

(b)        The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of

 


Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent 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 Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date.

On or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds, (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it shall 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 4.03, used by the Master 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 Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee shall provide notice to the Master Servicer, Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by the close of business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date.

(c)        The obligation of the Master 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 or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.

(d)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing

 


Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

(e)        The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month. The Master Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to pay any amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

SECTION 4.04.

Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a)        On or before each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. On or before each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

(b)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) under Section 4.01 hereof; second, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 4.01(a)(4) hereof; and third, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the related

 


Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess shall be allocated: first, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and eleventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

All Realized Losses on the Group I Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-52-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Group II Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest II until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-52-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests.

(c) (i)    The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following

 


REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM11 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM11 has been reduced to zero, fourth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM9 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.

The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so

 


that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTXX.

SECTION 4.05.

Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

SECTION 4.06.

Commission Reporting.

(a)        The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K (or other comparable required form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.

(b)        Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, 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 Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master 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 Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not

 


resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

(c)        In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (the “Trustee’s Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K) and (y) the Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the “Master Servicer Certification”). The Master Servicer Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee no later than March 15th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). The Trustee’s Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

In addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor 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 Trustee’s obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (B) the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.06, any inaccuracy contained in the Servicer’s Certification or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer and their respective 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 Depositor’s obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, then (i) the Depositor agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee or the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee or the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee or the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Depositor on the other, (ii) the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other and (iii) the Master Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor or the Trustee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor or the Trustee in such proportion as is

 


appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Trustee on the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other.

(d)        Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or information.

(e)        Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.

(f)         To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Trustee hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01) in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

SECTION 4.09.

Swap Account

(a)        No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Swap Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for the Swap Provider and the registered holders of Park Place Securities, Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-WHQ4.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.

(b)        On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account pursuant to 3.05(c)(i): (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trustee from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Swap Administration Agreement”), among Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Trustee, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Swap Administrator and Ameriquest Mortgage Company. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of the Class SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).

 


 

(c)        For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates.

The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC IV Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC IV and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC IV, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.

SECTION 4.10.

Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

(a)        No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of Park Place Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-WHQ4.”

(b)        On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of

 


the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b).

(c)        For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC IV to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

(d)        By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e)        At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to invest the funds in such 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 Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Interest earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

(f)         For federal income tax return and information reporting, the value assigned to the right of the Holders of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be de minimis.

 


 

 

 

 

 

SECTION 4.11.

Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments

 

SECTION 4.11.

Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments

For federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each Class A and Mezzanine Certificates as follows: each Class A and Class M Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), will be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Class A or Mezzanine Certificate. Resecuritization of any Class A or Mezzanine Certificate in a REMIC will be permissible only if the Trustee hereunder is the trustee in such resecuritization.

The REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Class A or Mezzanine Certificate.

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01.

The Certificates.

(a)        The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-R-X. The Certificates of each Class shall be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee, and delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication 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.

(b)        The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is

 


no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository), to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the case of the Private Mezzanine Certificates), except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive

 


Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

SECTION 5.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)        The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register.

(b)        No transfer of any Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate (as defined in the Indenture)), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, or the Trust Fund), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Private Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master 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.

 


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) shall be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

(c)        No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, which shall be to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, shall not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and shall not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that it is not purchasing with Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

(d)(i) 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 authorized the Certificate Registrar or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

 


 

(A)       Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual 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.

(B)        In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it shall endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

(C)       Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D)       Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2), to the Certificate Registrar stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(E)        Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”

(ii)         The Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

 


 

(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B)        If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(iv)        The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record Holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the Trustee.

(v)        The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

(A)       written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions shall not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

 


 

(B)        an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions shall not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.

(e)        Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee 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 Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(f)         At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R Certificate for three separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-IV Interest, the Class R-V Interest and the Class R-VI Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

(g)        No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(h)        All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.

(i)         The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate

 


and to provide the Trustee with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August of each year, commencing in August 2005.

(j)         Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Holder.

SECTION 5.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.04.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the NIMS Insurer or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5.05.

Certain Available Information.

On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the Private Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate, Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder

 


or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Certificate, if any, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the Master Servicer’s determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a).

hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master 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 and any breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans, other than in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master 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 involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

SECTION 6.04.

Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties,

 


liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

SECTION 6.05.

Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable advance notice in writing, during normal business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding sentence without the Master Servicer’s (or any such Sub-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, rating agencies or reinsurers 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, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 6.06.

Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

(a)        The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

 


 

Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions relating to insurance in Section 3.10 or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that until the Servicing Transfer Date, Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall be a Sub-Servicer of the Mortgage Loans.

(b)        As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

SECTION 6.07.

Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer

 


pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).

SECTION 6.08.

Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

SECTION 6.09.

No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

SECTION 6.10.

Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered

 


into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 6.11.

Sub-Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01.

Master Servicer Events of Default.

“Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i)         any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii)         any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or

(iii)        a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or

(iv)        the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 


 

(v)        the Master 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

(vi)

[reserved]; or

(vii)       any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer Remittance Date.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights or at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance (subject to its own determination as to recoverability, which Advance shall be part of Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date

 


of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is received by the Trustee of any such event and such notice references the Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

SECTION 7.02.

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a)        On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master 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 and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee, as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency (with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and the NIMS Insurer and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master

 


Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

(b)

[reserved]

(c)        If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances, but instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be. All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out” (FIFO) basis. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii).

(d)        Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall immediately succeed as successor Master Servicer if HomEq Servicing Corporation resigns or is removed as Master Servicer under this Agreement, subject to removal by the Trustee upon failure to provide to the Trustee within 60 days, written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such appointment shall not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates.

SECTION 7.03.

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)        Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

 


 

(b)        Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five 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 NIMS Insurer and to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

SECTION 7.04.

Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

 


 

ARTICLE VIII

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01.

Duties of Trustee

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event of Default, 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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)         Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee 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 that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)         The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)        The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy

 


available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement.

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require it to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02.

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

 

(i)         The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(ii)         The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi)        The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and

(b)        All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c)        The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform the obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and to assign any rights to receive payments from the Swap Provider to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement and the Depositor further directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligation under the Swap Administration Agreement. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund or as Swap Administrator, as the case may be, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

(d)        The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the Pool Policy on behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented to it by the Depositor.

If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

SECTION 8.07.

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be

 


delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

SECTION 8.08.

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Swap Provider and to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the

 


successor trustee the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

SECTION 8.09.

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 8.10.

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master 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 Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default 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 hereunder and no notice to the Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), 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 REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its

 


acceptance of the trust 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 Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

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.

Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall pay any and all fees and expenses of the Custodian in accordance with Section 8.05 and the Custodial Agreement. The Trustee initially appoints the Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer consent to such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 8.12.

Appointment of Office or Agency.

The Trustee shall designate an office or agency where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates its Corporate Trust Office in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

SECTION 8.13.

Representations and Warranties of the Trustee

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master Servicer and the Depositor as of the Closing Date, that:

 


 

(i)         It is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

(ii)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, shall not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

(iii)        It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(v)        It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

(vi)        No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge, threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

 


 

ARTICLE IX

 

TERMINATION

SECTION 9.01.

Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

(a)        Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) on a servicing retained basis, of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) 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 and (b) the Latest Possible Maturity Date, as defined in the Preliminary Statement. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to greater of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised fair market value of the REO Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the calendar month preceding the month of the final Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event (in the case of fair market values required to be determined under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the Terminator, the Trustee, and, if the Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the note balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the time the option is exercised.

(b)        Holders of 51% of the Voting Rights of the Class CE Certificates, or if such Holder fails to exercise such right, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, in that order, shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the “Terminator”), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only (A) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the

 


Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

(c)        Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund shall terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests or the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon the making of such final deposit, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

(d)        Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the

 


final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Underwriters all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

SECTION 9.02.

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)        In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

(i)         The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC’s final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;

(b)        At the expense of the applicable Terminator (or in the event of termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee), the Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.

(c)        By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each Trust REMIC which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.

(e)        The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust 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, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who shall serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable each of them to perform their respective obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(f)         The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action shall not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult with the Trustee, and the NIMS Insurer, or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action

 


could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee or the NIMS Insurer may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. The Trustee, upon discovery that any of the Mortgage Loans is not a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, shall enforce the Seller’s obligation to repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall at all times ensure that all of the assets of any Trust REMIC (other than the Mortgage Loans) are “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, as applicable.

(g)        In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)        On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than the Trustee, the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

(i)         The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification Number for the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or such other form as is appropriate.

(j)         Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund shall not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(k)        Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than the Mortgage Pool

 


which are deemed to constitute “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

SECTION 10.02.

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), or acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, or accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution shall not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

SECTION 10.03.

Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

(a)        The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, caused solely by the Trustee’s failure to act in accordance with its standard of care set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust Fund as a result of the location of the Trustee.

(b)        The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust Fund as a result of the location of the Master Servicer or any subservicer.

No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

Article and Section References.

All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.09.

Grant of Security Interest.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation

 


of the Depositor or the Seller and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller and the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller’s and the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

SECTION 11.10.

Third Party Rights.

The NIMS Insurer and the Swap Provider shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were parties hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, provisions herein that refer to the “benefit” of Certificateholders or the “interests” of the Certificateholders or actions “for the benefit of” Certificateholders also include an implicit reference to the benefits or interests of the NIMS Insurer, if any.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. 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.

Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights.

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 Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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.

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee 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.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), 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 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 REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the 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 REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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 Trustee 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 Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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.

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. 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 Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee 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 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 Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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 the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is

 


made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor). In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. 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 Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master 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 transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), 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 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 REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the 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 REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee 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.

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as residual interests in multiple REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), 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 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 REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the 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 REMIC I all the 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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee 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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as residual interests in multiple REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), 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 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 REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

(47)        No Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS Version 5.B Glossary Revised, Appendix E); and

(48)        With respect to any 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.

 

SECTION 7.

Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and Warranty.

(a)          The representations and warranties contained in Section 6 shall not be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 


 

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material document was not transferred by the Seller (as listed on the Trustee’s Preliminary Exception Report) as part of, any Mortgage File or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee (it being understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (43), (44), (46) and (48) of Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee), the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation which was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation and warranty (it being understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (43), (44), (46) and (48) of Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee), the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. In the event that any Mortgage Loan is subject to a breach of the representation and warranty (37) and (45) in Section 6(a) resulting in the Master Servicer’s inability to collect all or part of the Prepayment Charge from the Mortgagor, in lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be obligated to remit to the Master Servicer (for deposit in the Collection Account) any shortfall in the Prepayment Charge collected upon the Mortgagor’s voluntary Principal Prepayment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of the representation (37) or (45) of the Seller set forth in Section 6(a) above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 


 

In addition, upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser, or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(b)          It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure, remit a Prepayment Charge shortfall, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing or defective material document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

SECTION 8.            Closing; Payment for the Mortgage Loans. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York City office of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Wood LLP at 10:00 AM New York City time on the Closing Date.

The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

SECTION 12.

[Reserved]

SECTION 13.         Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

 


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the purchase price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the purchase price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 13 shall be deemed to have been released.

SECTION 14.          Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, Attention: General Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, Attention: General Counsel, or to such other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.

SECTION 15.          Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

SECTION 16.         Agreement of Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the other may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 17.          Survival. The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

 


 

SECTION 18.        GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL GOVERN.

SECTION 19.         Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. The NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof and may enforce the terms hereof as if a party hereto.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if

 


this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 20.        Obligations of ACC Capital Holdings Corporation. ACC Capital Holdings Corporation (“ACCH”) agrees with the Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser as follows: as an inducement to the Purchaser’s agreement to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser against any failure by the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 7 hereof; provided, however, ACCH may at any time terminate its obligations pursuant to this Section 20 so long as it receives written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such termination would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates.

 


 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

5.          The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

7.           The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

EXHIBIT F-2

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK

)

: ss.:

COUNTY OF

NEW YORK

)

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1.            The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), among Park Place Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), HomEq Servicing Corporation, as master servicer (the “Servicer”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

2.            The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3.            The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

4.            The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

5.            The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the

 


provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.            The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

7.            The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

 

8.

The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.

 

 

9.

The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

10.          The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

11.          The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. person.

 

12.

Check one of the following:

[_]  The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

 

(i)

the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate;

 

(ii)

the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and

 


 

 

(iii)

the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee.

[_]  The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

 

(i)

the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

 

(ii)

at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

 

(iii)

the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

 

(iv)

the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.

[_]  None of the above.

13.          The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.

 


 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this      day of                   , 20  .

2.          The Owner is not transferring the Class [R] [R-X] (the “Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

3.           The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the “Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

4.           The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Certificate Registrar a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

5.           At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future.

WHEREAS, it is desirable to irrevocably appoint the Swap Administrator, and the Swap Administrator desires to accept such appointment, to receive and distribute funds payable by Bear under the Swap Agreement as provided herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

2.

Swap Administrator.

(i)           first, to the Trustee for deposit into the Swap Account, an amount equal to the sum of the following amounts remaining outstanding after distribution of the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow (other than with respect to any Certificates beneficially owned by Ameriquest Mortgage Company or its Affiliates of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge): (A) Interest Carryforward Amounts, (B) Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts; (C) Overcollateralization Increase Amounts (without giving effect to clause (B) of the definition of “Overcollateralization Increase Amount”); and (D) any Allocated Realized Loss Amounts;

(ii)          second, to Ameriquest Mortgage Company, any amounts remaining after payment of (i) above, provided, however, upon the issuance of notes by an issuer (the “Trust”), secured by all or a portion of the Class CE Certificates and the Class P Certificates (the “NIM Notes”), Ameriquest Mortgage Company hereby instructs the Swap Administrator to make any payments under this clause 2(a)(ii) in the following order of priority:

No resignation or removal of the Swap Administrator and no appointment of a successor Swap Administrator shall become effective until the appointment by Ameriquest Mortgage Company of a successor swap administrator acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. Any successor swap administrator shall execute such documents or instruments necessary or appropriate to vest in and confirm to such successor swap administrator all such rights and powers conferred by this Agreement.

The Swap Administrator may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the other parties hereto with a copy to the NIMS Insurer.

In the event of a resignation or removal of the Swap Administrator, Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall promptly appoint a successor Swap Administrator acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. If no such appointment has been made within 10 days of the resignation or removal, the NIMS Insurer may appoint a successor Swap Administrator.

Trustee Obligations.

Whenever the Trustee, as a party to the Swap Agreement, has the option or is requested in such capacity, whether such request is by the counterparty to such agreement, to take any action or to give any consent, approval or waiver that it is entitled to take or give in such capacity, including, without limitation, in connection with an amendment of such agreement or the occurrence of a default or termination event thereunder, the Trustee shall promptly notify the parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer of such request in such detail as is available to it and, shall, on behalf of the parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer, take such action in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement of any rights and/or remedies available to it in such capacity with respect to such request as the NIMS Insurer shall direct in writing; provided that if no such direction is received prior to the date that is established for taking such action or giving such consent, approval or waiver (notice of which date shall be given by the Trustee to the

 


parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer), the Trustee may abstain from taking such action or giving such consent, approval or waiver.

The Trustee shall forward to the parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer on the Payment Date following its receipt thereof copies of any and all notices, statements, reports and/or other material communications and information (collectively, the “Swap Reports”) that it receives in connection with the Swap Agreement or from the counterparty thereto.

(f)           Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(g)          The representations and warranties made by the parties to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. No act or omission on the part of any party hereto shall constitute a waiver of any such representation or warranty.

11.          Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Trustee.

No recourse shall be had against any principal, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, member, trustee, agent or affiliate of the Trustee or any person owning, directly or indirectly, any legal or beneficial interest in the Trustee, or any successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Exculpated Parties”) for the payment of any amount payable under this Agreement. The parties hereto shall not enforce the liability and obligations of the Trustee to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment establishing any personal liability shall be sought against the Trustee, subject to the following sentence, or the Exculpated Parties. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations hereunder.
