Payoff Interest shall be payable to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

Balance of the Certificates; provided, however, that the percentage in clause
(x) above shall be increased by one percent (1%) upon the retirement of each
Class of Class X Certificates;
(ii) with respect to any Class X Certificate, one percent (1%) of such
Certificate's Percentage Interest as calculated by paragraph (a)(ii) of this
definition; and

of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such Person may cause
REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding. The terms "United States," "State" and
"International Organization" shall have the meanings set forth in Code Section
7701 or successor provisions. A corporation shall not be treated as an

In the case of a Substitute Mortgage Loan, "Principal Balance" shall mean, at
the time of any determination, the principal balance of such Substitute Mortgage
Loan transferred to the Trust, on the date of substitution, reduced by all
amounts distributed or to be distributed to Certificateholders through the

Mortgage Loan of any predatory and abusive lending laws, to the extent such
costs and damages result from a breach of the representation and warranty made
by the Company pursuant to clause (viii) of Section 2.08; provided, however,
that to the extent that such costs and damages constitute a set-off against the

to the services provided to the Trust; and (iii) any other allocation of direct,
indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the Trust and any other
Person, was or will be, to the extent practicable, allocated on the basis of
actual use or value of services rendered or otherwise on a basis reasonably
related to actual use or the value of services rendered;

Section 2.04. Conveyance of Mortgage Pool Assets; Security Interest.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust,
without recourse, all the Company's right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Pool Assets (such transfer and assignment by the Company to be referred
to herein as the "Conveyance").
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Conveyance of the
Mortgage Pool Assets to the Trust by the Company as provided in this Section
2.04 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Pool Assets. It
is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Conveyance be deemed the
grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets by the Company to the
Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Pool Assets are
held to be the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Pool
Assets, then
(a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement;
(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a
grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the
Trust, to secure all of the Company's obligations hereunder, a security interest
in all of the Company's right, title, and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to:
(I) The Mortgage Pool Assets;
(II) All accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general
intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights,
letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of,
arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing; and
(III) All proceeds of the foregoing.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the
Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a security
interest in the Conveyed Assets, such security interest would be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust
shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
Section 2.05. Delivery of Mortgage Files.
In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment referred to in Section
2.04, the Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with,
the Trustee or Custodian the Mortgage Files, which shall at all times be
identified in the records of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, as
being held by or on behalf of the Trust.
75
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall cause to
be filed the UCC assignment or amendment referred to in clause (Y)(vii) of the
definition of "Mortgage File." In connection with its servicing of Cooperative
Loans, the Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely continuation
statements, if necessary, with regard to each financing statement and assignment
relating to Cooperative Loans.
In instances where the original recorded Mortgage or any intervening assignment
thereof (recorded or in recordable form) required to be included in the Mortgage
File pursuant to the definition of "Mortgage File" relating to a Mortgage Loan
is not included in the Mortgage File delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian)
prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof (due to a delay
on the part of the recording office), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
(or the Custodian) a fully legible reproduction (which may be in electronic
form) of the original Mortgage or intervening assignment provided that the
originator, the related Lender or the escrow or title company which provided
closing services in connection with such Mortgage Loan certifies on the face of
such reproduction(s) or copy as follows: "Certified true and correct copy of
original which has been transmitted for recordation." For purposes hereof,
transmitted for recordation means having been mailed or otherwise delivered for
recordation to the appropriate authority. In all such instances, the Company
shall transmit the original recorded Mortgage and any intervening assignments
with evidence of recording thereon (or a copy of such original Mortgage or
intervening assignment certified by the applicable recording office) (which may
be in electronic form) (collectively, "Recording Documents") to the Trustee (or
the Custodian) within 270 days after the execution and delivery hereof. In
instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office where any
such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording
Documents cannot be delivered to the Trustee within 270 days after execution and
delivery hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within such time
period a certificate (a "Company Officer's Certificate") signed by the Chairman
of the Board, President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company stating
the date by which the Company expects to receive such Recording Documents from
the applicable recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have
still not been received by the Company and delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) by the date specified in its previous Company Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by such date
an additional Company Officer's Certificate stating a revised date by which the
Company expects to receive the applicable Recording Documents. This procedure
shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian).
For Mortgage Loans for which the Company has received a Payoff after the Cut-Off
Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery hereof, the Company, in
lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee a
certification of a Servicing Officer of the nature set forth in Section 3.10.
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to appoint any
bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master Servicer as
Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this Section
2.05, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose, provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for the acts of any such
Custodian only to the extent that it is responsible for its own acts hereunder.
76
Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to the Custodian,
if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all purposes
hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to
be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. There shall be a written
Custodial Agreement between the Trustee and each Custodian. Each Custodial
Agreement shall contain an acknowledgment by the Custodian that all Mortgage
Pool Assets, Mortgage Files, and related documents and property held by it at
any time are held by it for the benefit of the Trust. Pursuant to the Initial
Custodial Agreement, the Initial Custodian shall perform responsibilities of the
Trustee on the Trustee's behalf with respect to the delivery, receipt,
examination and custody of the Mortgage Files related to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Initial Custodial Agreement, as provided therein.
On or promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the
MERS(R) System to indicate that each MERS Loan, if any, has been assigned to
"Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, without recourse" or to "WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2004-CB1 Trust, without recourse" by including in the
MERS(R) System computer files (a) the code necessary to identify the Trustee and
(b) the code necessary to identify the series of the Certificates issued in
connection with such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in the event the
Company acquired such Mortgage Loans from an affiliate of the Company, then the
Master Servicer need not cause the MERS(R) System to indicate such assignment.
The Master Servicer shall not alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with
respect to any MERS Loan during the term of this Agreement except in connection
with an assignment of such MERS Loan or de-registration thereof from the MERS(R)
System in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.06. REMIC Election for REMIC I.
The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I as a
REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under
applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any
appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable
year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC I within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary
Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as "regular
interests" in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class
R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of "residual
interest" in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC I
Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together be deemed
to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust
consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory
Trust Statute.
The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that the
affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC. In
furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC
I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return
using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of
accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other
applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the
77
trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I
for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare
and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC
I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all
information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance
with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the
application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I
at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to
maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of
any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as
the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the
Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by
REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company's
failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition
of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes.
The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with such
information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer,
respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of
enabling the Company to prepare tax returns. If so requested by the Tax Matters
Person, the Trustee shall sign tax returns on behalf of the REMICs.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had such
defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such
Mortgage Loan from being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage
Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to
be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of
such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not
adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I as
defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant to
clause (f) of the third preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against
amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1
Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Tax
Matters Person (or any agent therefor appointed in accordance with the
definition of "Tax Matters Person" herein, if applicable), for the payment of
such tax (upon the written request of the Tax Matters Person or its agent, to
the extent reimbursable, and to the extent that the Tax Matters Person or its
agent has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.07. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or with
respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the
Custodian thereunder) on behalf of the Trust of the documents (or certified
78
copies thereof as specified in Section 2.05) referred to in Section 2.05 above,
but without having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant
to this Section 2.07. The Trustee acknowledges that all Mortgage Pool Assets,
Mortgage Files, and related documents and property held by it at any time are
held by it as Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of the Trust as holder of the
REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest. The Trustee
agrees, for the benefit of the Trust, to review (or, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans identified in the Initial Custodial Agreement, cause the Initial
Custodian to review) each Mortgage File within 45 days after the Closing Date
and deliver to the Company a certification (or, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans identified in the Initial Custodial Agreement, cause the Initial Custodian
to deliver to the Company a certification, which satisfies the applicable
requirements of this Agreement) in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto, to the
effect that, except as noted, all documents required (in the case of instruments
described in clauses (X)(iv) and (Y)(ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File,"
known by the Trustee to be required) pursuant to the definition of "Mortgage
File" and Section 2.05 have been executed and received, and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In
performing such review, the Trustee may rely upon the purported genuineness and
due execution of any such document, and on the purported genuineness of any
signature thereon. The Trustee shall not be required to make any independent
examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review
specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no representations as to: (i)
the validity, legality, enforceability or genuineness of any of the Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to
have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall promptly so notify
the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such defect
cannot be corrected or cured, the Company shall, not later than 60 days after
the Trustee's notice to it respecting such defect, within the three-month period
commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on the
Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective obligation" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(f)), either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust at
the Purchase Price, or (ii) substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such
defect relates a different mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") which is
a "qualified replacement mortgage" (as defined in the Code) and, (iii) after
such three-month or two-year period, as applicable, the Company shall repurchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price but only if the Mortgage
Loan is in default or default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably
imminent. If such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous
sentence or any provision in the definition of "Purchase Price", the repurchase
or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the
defect was discovered or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the
Closing Date.
Such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall mature no later than, and not more than two
years earlier than, have a principal balance and Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or
less than, and have a Pass-Through Rate on the date of substitution equal to or
no more than 1 percentage point greater than the Mortgage Loan being substituted
for. If the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage Loans
substituted for a Mortgage Loan is less than the Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay the difference in cash, together with
79
unpaid accrued interest, if any, on the difference between the aggregate of the
principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan during the calendar month in which the substitution occurs to
the last day of such month at a rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate,
to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and such payment by the
Company shall be treated in the same manner as proceeds of the repurchase by the
Company of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.07. Furthermore, such
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall otherwise have such characteristics so that the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.08 hereof
would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been
a Mortgage Loan, and the Company shall be deemed to have made such
representations and warranties as to such Substitute Mortgage Loan. A Substitute
Mortgage Loan may be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan whether or not
such defective Mortgage Loan is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Substitute Mortgage Loan
shall be deemed to have the same Pass-Through Rate as the Mortgage Loan for
which it was substituted.
The Purchase Price for each purchased or repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the Company in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the Custodian to) release to
the Company the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver (or, in the
event that the Mortgage Files are held in the name of the Custodian, shall cause
the Custodian to execute and deliver) on behalf of the Trust such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the Company or its designee or assignee title to any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if such Mortgage Loan
is a MERS Loan and as a result of the repurchase thereof such Mortgage Loan
shall cease to be serviced by a servicer that is a member of MERS or if the
Company or its assignee shall so request, the Master Servicer shall cause MERS
to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form from
MERS to the Company or its assignee and shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be
removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules
and procedures. The obligation of the Company to repurchase or substitute any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trust or the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the Class R-1 Residual Interest.

Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and shall continue throughout the
term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value
of the related Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Trust in the related
Mortgage Loans, the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian,
as the case may be, discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the others. Any breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxviii) of
this Section 2.08 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value
of the related Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Trust in the related
Mortgage Loans. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of
breach, the Company shall repurchase, subject to the limitations set forth in
the definition of "Purchase Price," or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust,
unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. After the end of the
three-month period beginning on the "start-up day," any such substitution shall
be made only if the Company provides to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trust and the Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
that each Substitute Mortgage Loan will be a "qualified replacement mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code. Such substitution shall be
made in the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.07. Any
such repurchase by the Company shall be accomplished in the manner and at the
Purchase Price, if applicable, but shall not be subject to the time limits, set
forth in Section 2.07. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Company to provide such substitution or to make such repurchase of any affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof as
to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest or the Trustee on behalf of the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.09. Acknowledgment of Transfer of Mortgage Pool Assets. The Trustee
hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust the transfer and
assignment to the Trust of the Mortgage Pool Assets, but without having made the
review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to Section 2.07, and declares
that as of the Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents constituting a
part of the Mortgage Pool Assets, and the Mortgage Pool Assets, as Trustee in
trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present
and future Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual
85
Interest. In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the
Mortgage Pool Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust does hereby issue to
the Company the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.10. Conveyance of REMIC II Assets; Security Interest. Concurrently
with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does hereby irrevocably
sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Trust, without
recourse, all the Company's right, title and interest in and to the REMIC II
Assets. Pursuant to Section 3818 of the Statutory Trust Statute, the REMIC I
Regular Interests shall not be cancelled and shall be held as treasury interests
owned by the Trust. The Trustee acknowledges that the REMIC II Assets are held
by it as Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of the holders of the
Certificates. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the REMIC II Assets to the Trust by the Company as provided in this Section
2.10 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the REMIC II Assets. It is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed the
grant of a security interest in the REMIC II Assets by the Company to the Trust
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the REMIC II Assets are held to be
the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held
or deemed to create a security interest in the REMIC II Assets, then
(a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement;
(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a
grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the
Trust, to secure all of the Company's obligations hereunder, a security interest
in all of the Company's right, title, and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to:
(I) The REMIC I Regular Interests, including without limitation all rights
represented thereby in and to the Mortgage Pool Assets and the proceeds thereof;
(II) All accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general
intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights,
letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of,
arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing; and
(III) All proceeds of the foregoing.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the
Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a security
interest in the REMIC II Assets, such security interest would be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of this Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust
shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to appoint any
bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master Servicer as
Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this Section
2.10, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for actions of any such
Custodian only to the extent it would otherwise be responsible for such acts
86
hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to the
Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all
purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall be
deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. There shall be a
written Custodial Agreement between the Trustee and each Custodian. Each
Custodial Agreement shall contain an acknowledgment by the Custodian that all
documents, instruments, and property held by it at any time are held by it for
the benefit of the Trust.
Section 2.11. REMIC Election for REMIC II.
The Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC II, elect to treat REMIC II as
a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under
applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any
appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC II for its first taxable
year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC II within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary
Statement hereto) relating to REMIC II are hereby designated as "regular
interests" in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class
R-2 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of "residual
interest" in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC
II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest shall together be
deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust consisting of the REMIC II Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the
Statutory Trust Statute.
The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC II shall constitute, and that the
affairs of REMIC II shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC. In
furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC
II: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax
return using a calendar year as the taxable year for REMIC II when and as
required by the REMIC provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws;
(b) make an election, on behalf of REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC on the
federal tax return of REMIC II for its first taxable year, in accordance with
the REMIC provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual
Interest all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC provisions; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC II at all
times that any of the Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status
of REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC provisions; (e) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of REMIC II; and (f) pay the amount of any
federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC II when and as the
same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company
or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such
87
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided,
that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified from REMIC II for any such
prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company's failure to exercise
reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited
transaction penalty taxes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC II as
defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant to
clause (f) of the preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company is hereby
authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the
Class R-2 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to
reimburse the Company for the payment of such tax (to the extent that the
Company has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.12. Acknowledgement of Transfer of REMIC II Assets; Authentication of
Certificates. The Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust
the assignment to the Trust of the REMIC II Assets and declares that as of the
Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents constituting a part of the
REMIC II Assets, and the REMIC II Assets, as Trustee in trust, upon the trust
herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of
the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) and the Class R-2
Residual Interest. In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange
for the REMIC II Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause to be
authenticated and delivered, upon and pursuant to the order of the Company, the
Certificates in Authorized Denominations.
Section 2.13. Legal Title. Legal title to all assets of the Trust shall be
vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity.
Section 2.14. Compliance with ERISA Requirements. For purposes of ensuring
compliance with the requirements of the "underwriter's exemption" (U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487
(Aug. 22, 2002)), issued under ERISA, and for the avoidance of any doubt as to
the applicability of other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law and except as contemplated by this Agreement, (1)
the Trust shall not be a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization,
or liquidate or sell its assets and (2) so long as any Certificates are
outstanding, none of the Company, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall
institute against the Trust, or join in any institution against the Trust of,
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.
Section 2.15. Additional Representation of the Company Concerning the Mortgage
Loans. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that it does not
intend for the Mortgage Pool to include any Mortgage Loan that is a "high-cost
home loan" as defined under the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002
or the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act. Based on the foregoing
representation and warranty and on the Company's obligation, pursuant to Section
2.08, to repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan in the event of
a breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxviii) of Section 2.08, the
other parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended for the
Mortgage Pool to include any Mortgage Loan that is a "high-cost home loan" as
defined under the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 or the New
Mexico Home Loan Protection Act.

ARTICLE III
Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
Section 3.01. The Company to Act as Master Servicer. The Company shall act as
Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms
hereof, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices and (unless
inconsistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices) in the same manner
in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for other portfolios, and shall
have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which a prudent servicer of
mortgage loans would do under similar circumstances, including, without
limitation, the power and authority to bring actions and defend the Mortgage
Pool Assets on behalf of the Trust in order to enforce the terms of the Mortgage
Notes. The Master Servicer may perform its master servicing responsibilities
through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released
from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer shall
diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent
contractors.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be
collected 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 Primary Insurance Policy, any FHA
insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal flood
insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in
portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each
Mortgaged Property is located. The Master Servicer shall enforce "due-on-sale"
clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by
law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, in accordance with
prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived any
assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable
insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be materially
adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after
the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any
Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Subject to the fourth
sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or
more for an amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided, however, that the
aggregate Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so purchased pursuant to this
sentence shall not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate
Principal Balance, as of the Cut-Off Date, of all Mortgage Loans. Subject to the
fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall also have the
right, but not the obligation, to purchase, for an amount equal to its Purchase
Price, any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or more, for the purpose
89
of requiring the Person who sold such Mortgage Loan to the Company to repurchase
such Mortgage Loan based on a breach of a representation or warranty made by
such Person in connection with the Company's purchase or acquisition of such
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences, the
Master Servicer's right to purchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to either of such
preceding sentences shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (x)
if the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 90-day delinquent (the
"Initial Delinquency Date") occurred during the first two calendar months of a
calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the
period commencing on the Initial Delinquency Date and ending on the last Master
Servicer Business Day of such calendar quarter, (y) if the Initial Delinquency
Date occurred during the third calendar month of a calendar quarter, the Master
Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the
first day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter and ending on the last
Master Servicer Business Day of such succeeding calendar quarter and (z) if the
Master Servicer does not exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage
Loan during the period specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, such
Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to
the preceding two sentences only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 90-day
delinquent and thereafter becomes 90-day delinquent again. For purposes of this
paragraph, a Mortgage Loan is considered delinquent for 90 consecutive days if a
Monthly Payment is not received by the first day of the third month following
the month during which such payment was due.
Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, 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 it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in
the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan,
that the security for, and the timely and full collectibility of, such Mortgage
Loan would not be adversely affected by such waiver, modification, postponement
or indulgence; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer such default is imminent) the Master Servicer shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal
or interest, reduce the outstanding principal balance (except for actual
payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms of any applicable Primary
Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, hazard insurance policy or
federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final
regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed
conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal
Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as
such under the Code. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request
from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the
granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or
demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has
determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it
would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for,
and the timely and full collectibility of, such Mortgage Loan would not be
adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to
continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax
on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be
imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof.
90
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute
and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of
the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, and the Trust
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and
endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions
where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of
mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer
is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver
or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I
Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trust, or any of
them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the
Master Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to
register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System or to cause the removal of any
Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection
with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the
Master Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such
expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS(R) System
shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust
shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer's
direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Master
Servicer and determined by the Master Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to
enable the Master Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally
commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions
coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac with respect to their
obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Selling and Servicing
Contract, respectively. The Master Servicer or each Servicer, as applicable,
shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance),
any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties that are not paid by
the Mortgagors when due to the extent that any such payment would not constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance when made.
In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer and any affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform
services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates
only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of
mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and
(ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit
information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
Section 3.02. Custodial Accounts and Buydown Fund Accounts. The Master Servicer
shall cause to be established and maintained by each Servicer under the Master
Servicer's supervision the Custodial Account for P&I, Buydown Fund Accounts (if
any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall deposit or cause to be
deposited therein daily the following amounts received or advanced by the
Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
(i) all scheduled payments of principal;
(ii) all scheduled payments of interest, net of the Servicing Fees due the
applicable Servicers;
91
(iii) all Curtailments and Payoffs; and
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Excess Liquidation Proceeds
and Subsequent Recoveries;
provided, however, that (x) proceeds received with respect to individual
Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard, or FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty,
Primary Insurance Policy or other insurance policy (other than any Special
Primary Insurance Policy) covering such Mortgage Loans, if required for the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, may be deposited either
in the Custodial Account for Reserves or the Custodial Account for P&I and (y)
such proceeds (other than proceeds from any Special Primary Insurance Policy),
if not required for the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property,
and if not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with prudent mortgage loan
servicing practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I, and
shall be applied to the balances of the related Mortgage Loans as payments of
interest and principal.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and to issue
drafts against the Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Custodial Accounts for
Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. Each
Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial Account for Reserves shall bear a
designation clearly showing the respective interests of the applicable Servicer,
as trustee, and of the Master Servicer, in substantially one of the following
forms:
(a) With respect to the Custodial Account for P&I: (i) [Servicer's Name], as
agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for
Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its successors and assigns, for
various owners of interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.
mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in trust for Washington Mutual
Mortgage Securities Corp.;
(b) With respect to the Custodial Account for Reserves: (i) [Servicer's Name],
as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance custodial account for
Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its successors and assigns for
various mortgagors and/or various owners of interests in Washington Mutual
Mortgage Securities Corp. mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in
trust for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. and various Mortgagors.
The Master Servicer hereby undertakes to assure remittance to the Certificate
Account of all amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that have been collected
by any Servicer and are due to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.01
of this Agreement.
Funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I and the Custodial Account for
Reserves may, at the Master Servicer's option, be invested in (i) one or more
Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day
prior to the related Withdrawal Date (except if such Eligible Investments are
obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the
Withdrawal Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to
maintain the Ratings.
92
Section 3.03. The Investment Account; Eligible Investments.(a) Not later than
the Withdrawal Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw or direct the withdrawal
of funds in the Custodial Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the Investment
Account, in an amount representing:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans
received or advanced by the applicable Servicers which were due on the related
Due Date, net of Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers and less any
amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable
Buydown Fund Accounts;
(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of liquidations of the Mortgage
Loans received by the applicable Servicer for such Mortgage Loans during the
applicable Payoff Period, with interest to the date of Payoff or liquidation
less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the
applicable Buydown Fund Accounts; and
(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable Servicers in the Prior Period.
At its option, the Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from the Custodial

Liquidation Proceeds previously received by the Master Servicer (including
amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation or its
substitution obligations set forth in Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or in
connection with the exercise of the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 9.01) for its own account and at its own risk, during any period
prior to their deposit in the Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any
funds which were withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I on or before the
Withdrawal Date, but not yet deposited into the Certificate Account, shall
immediately be deposited by the Master Servicer with the Investment Depository
in an Investment Account in the name of the Master Servicer and the Trust for
investment only as set forth in this Section 3.03. The Master Servicer shall
bear any and all losses incurred on any investments made with such funds and
shall be entitled to retain all gains realized on such investments as additional
servicing compensation. Not later than the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds, net of any
gains (except Payoff Earnings) earned thereon, in the Certificate Account.
(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i) one or more
Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day
prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are
obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the
Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to
maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.04. The Certificate Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the Certificate
Account, which shall be entitled "Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.
Certificate Account under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May
1, 2004, among Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor and
Master Servicer, Citibank, N.A., as the Trustee, and Christiana Bank & Trust
Company, as the Delaware Trustee, for the benefit of WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through
93
Certificates Series 2004-CB1 Trust created pursuant thereto". Promptly after the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall communicate to the Master Servicer the account
number and wiring instructions for the Certificate Account.
Not later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Investment Depository to deposit into the
Certificate Account the amounts previously deposited into the Investment Account
(which may include a deposit of Eligible Investments) to which the Holders of
the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest are entitled
or which are necessary for payment of any Special Primary Insurance Premiums. In
addition, not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account any Monthly P&I
Advances or other payments required to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 4.02 of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds (including amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase
Obligation) not previously deposited in the Custodial Accounts for P&I or the
Investment Account, and any amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection
with the exercise of its option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
9.01 or any other purchase of Mortgage Loans permitted by this Agreement.
(b) Funds held in the Certificate Account shall be invested at the written
direction of the Master Servicer in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which
shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the
Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii)
such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive any gains earned on such Eligible
Investments and shall bear any losses suffered in connection therewith. If the
Trustee has not received such written investment directions from the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall not invest funds held in the Certificate Account.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses on investments of funds held
in the Certificate Account.
Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Investment
Account and Custodial Accounts for P&I and of Buydown Funds from the Buydown
Fund Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals (or, in the case of
the Certificate Account, to direct the Trustee to make withdrawals), from time
to time, from the Investment Account, the Certificate Account or the Custodial
Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers of amounts deposited therein in
respect of the Certificates (and, to the extent applicable, to make deposits of
the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
(i) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for Monthly P&I Advances made
pursuant to Section 4.02 or a Selling and Servicing Contract, such right to
reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph (i) being limited to amounts received
on particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of principal and/or
94
interest respecting which any such Monthly P&I Advance was made;
(ii) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for amounts expended by or
for the account of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or amounts
expended by such Servicer pursuant to the Selling and Servicing Contracts in
connection with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in
connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan;
(iii) To pay to itself, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicing Fee (net of Compensating Interest reduced by Payoff Earnings and
Payoff Interest) as to which no prior withdrawals from funds deposited by the
Master Servicer have been made;
(iv) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for advances made with
respect to related Mortgage Loans (except for Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant
to a Purchase Obligation or pursuant to the second or third sentence of the
third paragraph of Section 3.01) which the Master Servicer has determined to be
Nonrecoverable Advances;
(v) To pay to itself reinvestment earnings deposited or earned in the Investment
Account and the Certificate Account to which it is entitled and to reimburse
itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.03;
(vi) To deposit to the Investment Account amounts in the Certificate Account not
required to be on deposit therein at the time of such withdrawal;
(vii) To deposit in the Certificate Account, not later than the Business Day
prior to the related Distribution Date, the amounts in the Investment Account
specified in Section 3.04(a);
(viii) To pay on behalf of the Trustee any Special Primary Insurance Premium
payable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(a); provided, the Master
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee prior to noon New York
City time two Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date; and
after making or providing for the above withdrawals
(ix) To clear and terminate the Investment Account and the Certificate Account
following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii), the
Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other
recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, for
the purpose of justifying any such withdrawals.
(b) The Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, if such Servicer holds and
maintains a Buydown Fund Account, is authorized to make withdrawals, from time
to time, of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Account or Custodial Account for
P&I established by any Servicer under its supervision (and, to the extent
applicable, to make deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
95
(i) To deposit each month in the Investment Account the amount necessary to
supplement payments received on Buydown Loans;
(ii) In the event of a Payoff of any Mortgage Loan having a related Buydown
Fund, to apply amounts remaining in Buydown Fund Accounts to reduce the required
amount of such principal Payoff (or, if the Mortgagor has made a Payoff, to
refund such remaining Buydown Fund amounts to the Person entitled thereto);
(iii) In the event of foreclosure or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan having a
Buydown Fund, to deposit remaining Buydown Fund amounts in the Investment
Account as Liquidation Proceeds; and
(iv) To clear and terminate the portion of any account representing Buydown
Funds following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01;
(c) The Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from time to time from the
Certificate Account to reimburse itself for advances it has made pursuant to
Section 7.01(a) hereof that it has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances.
(d) Each Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals, from time to time, from the
related Custodial Account for P&I, (i) to pay to itself, with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee and (ii) to reimburse itself for
expenses to the same extent that the Master Servicer is authorized to make
withdrawals to reimburse the Servicer for expenses pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)
and (iv) of Section 3.05(a), in the case of each of clause (d)(i) and (d)(ii),
to the extent no prior withdrawals of such amounts have been made by the
Servicer or the Master Servicer.
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, and to
cause the Servicers to keep, in full force and effect each Primary Insurance
Policy (except any Special Primary Insurance Policy) required with respect to a
Mortgage Loan, until no longer required, and the Master Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect each Special
Primary Insurance Policy, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall have no obligation to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy for a
Mortgage Loan for which the outstanding Principal Balance thereof at any time
subsequent to origination was 80% or less of the Appraised Value of the related
Mortgaged Property, unless required by applicable law.
Unless required by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not cancel or
refuse to renew, or allow any Servicer under its supervision to cancel or refuse
to renew, any Primary Insurance Policy in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates that is required to be kept in force hereunder;
provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer shall
advance funds for the payment of any premium due under (i) any Primary Insurance
Policy (other than a Special Primary Insurance Policy) if it shall determine
that such an advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) any Special
Primary Insurance Policy.
Section 3.07. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Master Servicer shall cause
to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) fire
96
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the
original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, except in cases approved by
the Master Servicer in which such amount exceeds the value of the improvements
to the Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall also require fire insurance
with extended coverage in a comparable amount on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a
Cooperative Loan). Any amounts collected under any such policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
Property) shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract and
pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.05. Any unreimbursed costs incurred in
maintaining any insurance described in this Section 3.07 shall be recoverable as
an advance by the Master Servicer from the Investment Account or the Certificate
Account. Such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the Master Servicer
and Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Other additional insurance may be required of a
Mortgagor, in addition to that required pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. Where any part of any improvement to the Mortgaged
Property (other than a Mortgaged Property secured by a Cooperative Loan) is
located in a federally designated special flood hazard area and in a community
which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program at the time of
origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause flood
insurance to be provided. The hazard insurance coverage required by this Section
3.07 may be met with blanket policies providing protection equivalent to
individual policies otherwise required. The Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer shall be responsible for paying any deductible amount on any such
blanket policy. The Master Servicer agrees to present, or cause to be presented,
on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trust, claims under the hazard insurance
policy respecting any Mortgage Loan, and in this regard to take such reasonable
actions as shall be necessary to permit recovery under such policy.
Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. When
any Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such prospective conveyance
and prior to the time of the consummation of such conveyance, exercise on behalf
of the Trust the Trust's rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan, to the extent that such acceleration is permitted by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such right if
the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law or if such exercise would result in
non-coverage of any resulting loss that would otherwise be covered under any
insurance policy. In the event the Master Servicer is prohibited from exercising
such right, the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom a
Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by
applicable state law or unless the Mortgage Note contains a provision allowing a
qualified borrower to assume the Mortgage Note, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so
covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by any related Primary
Insurance Policy. 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
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall
not enter into any substitution or assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause the REMICs
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the
startup day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
97
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement and other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the terms of the
related Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the applicable
Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
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 any assumption which the Master Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer
shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, or cause to be foreclosed
upon or comparably converted, the ownership of any Mortgaged Property securing a
Mortgage Loan which comes into and continues in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.01. In lieu of such foreclosure or other conversion, and
taking into consideration the desirability of maximizing net Liquidation
Proceeds after taking into account the effect of Insurance Proceeds upon
Liquidation Proceeds, the Master Servicer may, to the extent consistent with
prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, accept a payment of less than the
outstanding Principal Balance of a delinquent Mortgage Loan in full satisfaction
of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note and release the lien
of the related Mortgage upon receipt of such payment. The Master Servicer shall
not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert a Mortgaged Property if the
Master Servicer is aware of evidence of toxic waste, other hazardous substances
or other evidence of environmental contamination thereon and the Master Servicer
determines that it would be imprudent to do so. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall cause to be followed
such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as
shall be normal and usual in general mortgage servicing activities. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in the case of damage to a Mortgaged
Property from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to
advance its own funds towards the restoration of the property unless it shall be
determined in the sole judgment of the Master Servicer, (i) that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds. The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred
by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof (as well as its normal servicing compensation) as an
advance. The Master Servicer shall maintain information required for tax
reporting purposes regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or which
has been foreclosed or otherwise comparably converted. The Master Servicer shall
report such information to the Internal Revenue Service and the Mortgagor in the
manner required by applicable law.
98
The Master Servicer may enter into one or more special servicing agreements with
a Lowest Class B Owner, subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the
Ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of
such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such Lowest Class B Owner may (a) instruct the Master
Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Selling
and Servicing Contract to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect
to related delinquent Mortgage Loans, provided that the Lowest Class B Owner
deposits a specified amount of cash with the Master Servicer that will be
available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are
less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted pursuant to its
normal servicing procedures, (b) purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loans from
the Trust immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a
price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate
through the last day of the month in which such Mortgage Loans are purchased
and/or (c) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to
such delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as (i) the Master Servicer has the right
to transfer the servicing rights and obligations of such Mortgage Loans to
another servicer and (ii) such Lowest Class B Owner will service such Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract.
REMIC I shall not acquire any real property (or personal property incident to
such real property) except in connection with a default or imminent default of a
Mortgage Loan. In the event that REMIC I acquires any real property (or personal
property incident to such real property) in connection with a default or
imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, such property shall be disposed of by the
Master Servicer as soon as practicable in a manner that, consistent with prudent
mortgage loan servicing practices, maximizes the net present value of the
recovery to the Trust, but in any event within three years after its acquisition
by the Master Servicer for REMIC I unless the Master Servicer provides to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I as
defined in Section 860F of the Code or under the law of any state in which real
property securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is located or cause REMIC I
to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or for state tax
purposes under the laws of any state in which real property securing a Mortgage
Loan owned by REMIC I is located at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding. The Master Servicer shall conserve, protect and operate each such
property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or
result in the receipt by the 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.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Master Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve
such property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such property is located and may, incident to its conservation
and protection of the assets of the Trust, rent the same, or any part thereof,
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Master Servicer
and the Trust for the period prior to the sale of such property. Additionally,
the Master Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and shall file information
99
returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or
business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property
and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with
respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P,
respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
on or before March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed.
Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee, as applicable, shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or
original issue discount that the Master Servicer or the Trustee reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for any such withholding. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Master Servicer agrees that it will not withhold with respect to payments of
interest or original issue discount in the case of a Certificateholder that has
furnished or caused to be furnished an effective Form W-8 or an acceptable
substitute form or a successor form and who is not a "10 percent shareholder"
within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a "controlled foreign
corporation" described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to REMIC I,
REMIC II, REMIC III or the depositor. In the event the Trustee withholds 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 Certificateholder.
Section 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the Payoff
or scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause such
final payment to be immediately deposited in the related Custodial Account for
P&I or the Investment Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
Trustee thereof by a certification (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in either such account have been so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File; provided, however, that such certification shall not be required
if the Mortgage File is held by a Custodian which is also the Servicer of the
Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall, not later than the fifth succeeding Business Day, release, or cause to be
released, the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer indicated in such request. With any such Payoff or other final payment,
the Master Servicer is authorized (i) to prepare for and procure from the
trustee or mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note a deed
of full reconveyance or other form of satisfaction or assignment of Mortgage and
endorsement of Mortgage Note in connection with a refinancing covering the
Mortgaged Property, which satisfaction, endorsed Mortgage Note or assigning
document shall be delivered by the Master Servicer to the person or persons
entitled thereto, and (ii) with respect to any MERS Loan, to cause the removal
of such Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS(R) System. No expenses
incurred in connection with such satisfaction or assignment shall be payable to
the Master Servicer by the Trustee or from the Certificate Account, the related
Investment Account or the related Custodial Account for P&I. From time to time
as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including,
for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Trustee
shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to it of a trust receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer, release not later than the fifth Business Day
following the date of receipt of such request and trust receipt the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as indicated by the
Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the
100
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be
released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.11. Compensation to the Master Servicer and the Servicers. As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive from the Investment Account or the Certificate Account the amounts
provided for by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The Master Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided
herein.
As compensation for its activities under the applicable Selling and Servicing
Contract, the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to withhold or withdraw from
the related Custodial Account for P&I the amounts provided for in such Selling
and Servicing Contract to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement
(including Section 3.05(d)). Each Servicer is required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under its Selling and
Servicing Contract (including payment of premiums for Primary Insurance
Policies, other than Special Primary Insurance Policies, if required) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in
such Selling and Servicing Contract and not inconsistent with this Agreement.
Section 3.12. Reports to the Trustee; Certificate Account Statement. Not later
than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall forward a
statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, to the Trustee setting forth the
status of the Certificate Account as of the close of business on such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Certificate Account for each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.04 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.05, and stating that all distributions required by this
Agreement have been made (or if any required distribution has not been made,
specifying the nature and amount thereof). The Trustee shall make available such
statements to any Certificateholder upon request at the expense of the Master
Servicer. Such statement shall also, to the extent available, include
information regarding delinquencies on the Mortgage Loans, indicating the number
and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans which are one, two, three or
more months delinquent, the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage
Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have been initiated and the
book value of any Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust through foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of the Trust's security interest
in the Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the
first April 30 succeeding the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, an Officer's
Certificate stating as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
101
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Master Servicer to Certificateholders upon request or by the Trustee (solely to
the extent that such copies are available to the Trustee) at the expense of the
Master Servicer, should the Master Servicer fail to so provide such copies.
Section 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Certificates are legal for investment by
federally-insured savings associations, the Master Servicer shall provide to the
OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the FDIC
access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by
applicable regulations of the OTS or the FDIC, as applicable, and shall in any
event provide such access to the documentation regarding such Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee and its representatives, such access being afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it.
Section 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. On or
before April 30 of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding the
Cut-Off Date by at least six months, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall
furnish to the Trustee a copy of a report delivered to the Master Servicer by a
firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to
the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof) to the effect that, on the basis
of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the
Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan
servicing standards in its role as Master Servicer with respect to the servicing
of residential mortgage loans (including the Mortgage Loans) during the most
recently completed fiscal year. In rendering its report such firm may rely, (a)
as to matters relating to the Certificates, upon a statistical sampling of
series of mortgage-backed certificates which may include the Certificates and
(b) as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans
by subservicers, 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 subservicers.
Section 3.16. [Reserved.]
Section 3.17. [Reserved.]
Section 3.18. [Reserved.]
Section 3.19. [Reserved.]
Section 3.20. Assumption or Termination of Selling and Servicing Contracts by
Trustee. In the event the Master Servicer, or any successor Master Servicer,
shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of an
Event of Default), the Trustee as trustee hereunder or its designee shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
102
the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans
unless the Trustee elects to terminate the Selling and Servicing Contracts with
respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein with respect to
the related Mortgage Loans and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party
to the Selling and Servicing Contracts to the same extent as if the rights and
duties under the Selling and Servicing Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall
not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Selling and
Servicing Contracts with respect to the Master Servicer's duties to be performed
prior to its termination hereunder.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Selling and
Servicing Contracts and the Mortgage Loans then being master serviced by the
Master Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the rights and duties under the related Selling and Servicing
Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party.
ARTICLE IV
Payments to Certificateholders; Payment of Expenses
Section 4.01. Distributions to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests and Class
R-1 Residual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly
appointed paying agent) (i) shall be deemed to have distributed from the
Certificate Account the REMIC I Distribution Amount to the Holders of the REMIC
I Regular Interests and to have deposited such amount for their benefit into the
Certificate Account and (ii) from the Certificate Account shall distribute to
the Class R Certificateholders, in accordance with the written statement
received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b), the sum of (a)
the Excess Liquidation Proceeds and (b) the amounts to be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R-1 Residual Interest pursuant to the definition of "REMIC
I Distribution Amount" for such Distribution Date. Amounts distributed pursuant
to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately
available funds for the account of each Class R Certificateholder, or by any
other means of payment acceptable to each Class R Certificateholder of record on
the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01
respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder
and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no actual distributions
pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.01 shall be made on account of the
deemed distributions described in this paragraph except in the event of a
liquidation of REMIC III and REMIC II and not REMIC I.
Section 4.02. Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the
Trustee.
(a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to advance
its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i)
payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the
amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such
103
payments. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances
described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance
is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the
second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as
late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise.
Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will
make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date
(in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and
shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and
to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount
to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, stated separately.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly P&I
Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date
either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly
P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate
Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or
withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master
Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of
any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I
Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and
so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate
Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date
to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is
entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the
Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage
Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance
Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed
advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to
receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by
the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit
these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.05.
In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to the
Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate Account
to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such advances
previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
(b) Prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide (x) the Trustee and (y) the
Company (if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) with a statement
in writing of (1) the amount, as applicable, of (i) interest, (ii) the interest
portion, if any, of Realized Losses, (iii) Uncompensated Interest Shortfall,
(iv) scheduled principal, (v) Principal Prepayments, (vi) Liquidation Principal,
(vii) Subsequent Recoveries, (viii) the principal portion of Realized Losses
104
(after giving effect to any reduction thereof by application of any Cumulative
Carry-Forward Subsequent Recoveries Amount), (ix) the Residual Distribution
Amount and (x) the Excess Liquidation Proceeds to be distributed or allocated,
as applicable, to each Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
amounts to be determined in accordance with the definitions of "REMIC I
Distribution Amount" and "REMIC II Distribution Amount," Section 4.01 and
Section 4.04 hereof and other related definitions set forth in Article I
hereof); (2) the applicable Class Principal Balance after giving effect to such
distributions and allocations; (3) the Cumulative Carry-Forward Subsequent
Recoveries Amount for such Distribution Date and each Subgroup; and (4) the
amount of any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution
Date.
Section 4.03. Nonrecoverable Advances. Any advance previously made by a Servicer
pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract with respect to a Mortgage Loan
or by the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer shall determine in its good
faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan or
recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be
a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it or
the applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee on the Determination
Date and detailing the reasons for such determination. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage
Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the
Company or the Master Servicer is a party, (a) the Master Servicer and each
Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that, after
reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, the Master Servicer or such
Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) the Master
Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any advance as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Agreement.
Section 4.04. Distributions to Certificateholders; Payment of Special Primary
Insurance Premiums.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent)
shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a)(viii), withdraw from the Certificate
Account any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date
and pay such amount to the insurer under the applicable Special Primary
Insurance Policy and (ii) withdraw from the Certificate Account the REMIC II
Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and distribute, from
the amount so withdrawn, to the extent of the REMIC II Available Distribution
Amount, the REMIC II Distribution Amount to the Certificateholders (including
the Class R Certificateholders with respect to any distribution to the Holders
of the Class R-2 Residual Interest), all in accordance with the written
statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b). Any
Special Primary Insurance Premiums distributed pursuant to clause (i) above
shall be distributed by means of payment acceptable to the insurer under the
respective Special Primary Insurance Policy. Amounts distributed to the
Certificateholders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire
transfer in immediately available funds for the account of, or by check mailed
105
to, each such Certificateholder of record on the immediately preceding Record
Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution),
as specified by each such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate
effected by distributions of principal and all allocations of Realized Losses
made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted
on such Certificate. The final distribution of principal of each Certificate
(and the final distribution upon the Class R Certificates upon (i) the
termination of REMIC I and REMIC II and (ii) the payment, or making provision
for payment, of all liabilities of the Trust) shall be payable in the manner
provided above only upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the
Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar
specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(ii) and Section
9.01(b).
(c) Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs and Monthly Payments on the
Mortgage Loans and Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received and
expected to be received during the Payoff Period, the Master Servicer has
notified the Trustee that it believes that the entire remaining unpaid Class
Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates will become distributable on the
next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than the 18th day of the
month of such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in
whose name a Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business
on the Record Date and to the Rating Agencies a notice to the effect that:
(i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final distribution will be
available in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date, and
(ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution will be payable on
such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for
such purpose (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice), and (B)
no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after such Distribution Date.
Section 4.05. Statements to Certificateholders. With each distribution from the
Certificate Account on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall send to each
Rating Agency and shall make available to each Certificateholder the statement
required by Section 4.02(b). The Trustee may make available such statement and
certain other information, including, without limitation, information required

one, two and three months or more, in each case, by Loan Group;

discretion, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below
to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
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
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to a U.S. Person, the Trustee shall require delivery to it,
and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its
receipt of (1) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit J from the proposed Transferee, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Company, representing and warranting, among
other things, that it is not a Non-U.S. Person, 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 who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so
long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.01(c) and agrees to be bound by them, and (2) a
108
certificate, attached hereto as Exhibit I, from the Holder wishing to transfer
the Residual Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed
Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement by a
proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Trustee 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 agrees by holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest (i) to
require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest and to provide a certificate
to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J; (ii) to obtain the
express written consent of the Company prior to any transfer of such Ownership
Interest, which consent may be withheld in the Company's sole discretion; and
(iii) to provide a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I.
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if
it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of
the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and
all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the
Trustee as a condition to such registration.
(iii) (A) If any "disqualified organization" (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Code) shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any Non-U.S.
Person shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding
holder which is a U.S. Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law,
to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of the Transfer to such Non-U.S. Person of such Residual
Certificate. If a transfer of a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to
the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3,
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither
the Trust nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 5.01(c) 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 5.01(c) 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 Company shall have the right, without notice to the
109
Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company on such terms as the Company
may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each
Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Company. Such
purchaser may be the Company itself or any affiliate of the Company. The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Company or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall
be remitted by the Company 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 Company, and the Company 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 Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon written
request from the Trustee, 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 not a Permitted Transferee, including the
information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificates required
to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(5), and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organizations described in Section 1381 of the
Code having as among its record holders at any time any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may
be required by the Company from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.01 set forth prior to this Section (v) may
be modified, added to or eliminated by the Company and the Trustee, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each of the Rating Agencies to the effect that the
modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current Ratings of the Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (as
evidenced by a certificate of the Company), to the effect that such
modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause REMIC I
and REMIC II to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not create a risk that (1)
REMIC I and REMIC II may be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee or (2) a Certificateholder or another Person will be subject to a
REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person
which is not a Permitted Transferee.
(vi) The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:
110
ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE ONLY
IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT TO THE COMPANY AND THE
TRUSTEE THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT EITHER (A) THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE
OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY INTERNATIONAL
ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY
ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE)
WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM THE TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH
ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 511 OF THE CODE, (C) ANY
ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON
DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A), (B), OR (C) BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED
TO AS A "DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION"), OR (D) AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR TO
IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY TRANSFER,
SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CLASS R CERTIFICATE TO A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT 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 HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE. EACH HOLDER OF
THE CLASS R CERTIFICATE BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO
HAVE CONSENTED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(vii) The Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I and REMIC II, while not a
Disqualified Organization, shall be the tax matters person for the related REMIC
within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860F-4(d).
(d) In the case of any Junior Subordinate Certificate presented for registration
in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) an officer's
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which
officer's certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Company, and (ii) only if such officer's certificate
indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a
Benefit Plan Opinion.
In the case of any Residual Certificate presented for registration in the name
of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement which includes the representation set forth in paragraph 19 of the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (ii) only if the representation set forth
in such paragraph 19 indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in
connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.
111
(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Junior Subordinate
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is made in accordance with this Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f).
Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership interest in any Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions of
this Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f), as applicable. No transfer of a Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.01(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee is
provided with the certificates and an Opinion of Counsel, if required, on which
the Trustee may conclusively rely, to the effect that such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, as follows: In the
event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with
the Securities Act, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
certify to the Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such
Exhibit F as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed
transfer, and that the Certificateholder's proposed transferee certify to the
Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, the
facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit G as may
be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer. If such
certificate of the proposed transferee does not contain substantially the
substance of Exhibit G, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made without registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Trust or the Company. Such
Opinion of Counsel shall allow for the forwarding, and the Trustee shall
forward, a copy thereof to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Junior Subordinate Certificate may be transferred, sold, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section
5.01(f).
(f) To effectuate a Certificate transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate in
accordance with this Section 5.01(f), the proposed transferee of such
Certificate must provide the Trustee and the Company with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which investment letter
shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee or the Company, and which
investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i) is a
"qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own
account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely
on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed transferee of
such Certificate shall not be required to provide the Trustee or the Company
with Annex 1 or Annex 2 to the form of Exhibit L attached hereto if the Company
so consents prior to each such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of this Section 5.01(f). The Holder of a
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the
Trust, the Trustee, the Company, and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if transfer is not made in accordance with this
Agreement.
(g) (1) In the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, the prospective transferee shall be
required to provide the Trustee and the Company (A) an officer's certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer's
certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Master
112
Servicer or the Company, and (B) only if such officer's certificate indicates
that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan
Opinion.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification (and, if applicable, a
Benefit Plan Opinion) as described in Section 5.01(g)(1) above will not be
required with respect to the transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate to a
Clearing Agency, or for any subsequent transfer of any interest in a ERISA
Restricted Certificate for so long as such Certificate is a Book-Entry
Certificate (each such ERISA Restricted Certificate, a "Book-Entry ERISA
Restricted Certificate"). Any transferee of a Book-Entry ERISA Restricted
Certificate will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or
holding of such Certificate (or interest therein), that either (i) such
transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such
plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing such
Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan (a "Plan Investor"), (ii) such
transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to
acquire or hold such Certificate is an "insurance company general account"
(within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (ii), a
"Complying Insurance Company") or (iii) such Certificate was rated "BBB-" or
better (or its equivalent) by at least one of the Rating Agencies at the time of
such transferee's acquisition of such Certificate (or interest therein).
(3) If any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or any interest therein) is
acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section 5.01(g)(2) above,
then the last preceding transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii)
is a Complying Insurance Company or (iii) acquired such Certificate at a time
when such Certificate was rated "BBB-" or better (or its equivalent) by at least
one of the Rating Agencies shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Beneficial Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of transfer of such Certificate by such preceding transferee. Neither the Trust
nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for making any
payments due on such Certificate to such preceding transferee.
(4) Any purported Beneficial Holder whose acquisition or holding of any
Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.01(g) shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust and the
Underwriter from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
Section 5.02. Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of Principal and
Interest; Authorized Denominations. The aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is
limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date, as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement,
except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of
113
transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to
Section 5.03. Such aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or
more Classes having designations, types of interests, initial per annum
Certificate Interest Rates, initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity
Dates as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate
Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal
Balance equals zero as of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Agreement is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued
in Authorized Denominations.
Section 5.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Trustee
shall cause to be maintained at one of its offices or at its designated agent, a
Certificate Register in which there shall be recorded the name and address of
each Certificateholder. Subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall be amended from time to
time by the Trustee or its agent to reflect notice of any changes received by
the Trustee or its agent pursuant to Section 10.06. The Trustee hereby appoints
itself as the initial Certificate Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other address or agency as
may hereafter be provided to the Master Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations. At the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance
or Percentage Interest, as applicable, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, and
the Trustee, or any Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so
required by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or transfer of
Certificates, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange or transfer of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled by the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.
Section 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent,
or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is
delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them and the Trust harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent that such
114
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Certificate Principal Balance or
Percentage Interest as applicable. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.04, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in REMIC II (or with
respect to the Class R Certificates, the residual ownership interests in REMIC I
and REMIC II) as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and Section 4.04 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.06. Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the
Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust may execute, and the Trustee or
any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any
Authorized Denomination, of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of
which they are issued and with such variations in form from the forms of the
Certificates set forth as Exhibits A, B and H hereto as the Trustee's officers
executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates may remain in
the form of temporary Certificates.
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days after the Closing Date or
as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of definitive Certificates,
the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates
upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10 hereof, without charge to
the holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any such exchange shall be borne by the Master Servicer. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.
Section 5.07. Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized Denomination
representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Book-Entry Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial
115
Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial
Holder's interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided
above and in Section 5.09. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following
legend:
Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Company or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any Certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant
to Section 5.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall be in full force and effect with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Master Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for
all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates (including the making
of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the sole Certificateholder;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.07 conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall
control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only through the
Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the
Clearing Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the Depositary
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to
Section 5.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among
the DTC Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and
interest on the related Class of Book-Entry Certificates to such DTC
Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions
with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates
evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or consent may be
given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial Holders owning
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest represented
by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent that such actions are
taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication
to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 5.09, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
116
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry
Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related DTC Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
Section 5.09. Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Clearing Agency or the Master
Servicer, with the consent of the applicable DTC Participants, notifies the
Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depositary Agreement with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trustee or the Master Servicer is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Master Servicer, at its option,
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency or (c)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificateholders holding
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 66% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of such Certificates advise
the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through DTC Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates
through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificateholders with respect to such Certificates, the Trustee shall notify
all Certificateholders of Book-Entry Certificates of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates for all of the Certificates all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be
imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Section 5.10. Office for Transfer of Certificates. The Trustee shall maintain in
New York, New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange. The Corporate Trust Office is
initially designated for said purpose.
Section 5.11. Nature of Certificates. The Certificates shall be personal
property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this
Agreement. The Certificates shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when
issued and delivered to the Holders against payment of the purchase price
therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the
Certificates, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware. THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN
BY OR ON BEHALF OF A HOLDER OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY SIGNATURE OR
FURTHER MANIFESTATION OF ASSENT, SHALL CONSTITUTE THE UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE
BY THE HOLDER AND ALL OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE OF
ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE
117
AGREEMENT OF THE TRUST, SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS THAT THE TERMS AND
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING, OPERATIVE AND EFFECTIVE AS
BETWEEN THE TRUST AND SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS.
ARTICLE VI
The Company and the Master Servicer
Section 6.01. Liability of the Company and the Master Servicer. The Company and
the Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of
the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Company or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, herein.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company, or the Master Servicer.
Any Corporation into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Corporation succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer and
Others. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be

or the Certificateholders for any action taken by such Person or by a Servicer
or for such Person's or Servicer's refraining from the taking of any action in
good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer
or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of duties and obligations
hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall
be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any
Mortgage Loan (other than as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Company and the Master Servicer shall not
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which
118
is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, this Agreement, the Certificates or the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account, as provided
by Section 3.05.
Section 6.04. The Company and the Master Servicer not to Resign. The Company
shall not resign from the obligations and duties (including, without limitation,
its obligations and duties as initial Master Servicer) hereby imposed on it
except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law. Any successor Master Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Company or any successor Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to
the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.
If the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer, then the successor Master
Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any information
received by such successor Master Servicer which affects or relates to an
ongoing obligation or right of the Company under this Agreement.
Section 6.05. Trustee Access. The Master Servicer shall afford the Company and
the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all
records maintained by the Master Servicer, in respect of the Mortgage Loans and
in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its
officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable request, the
Master Servicer, shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with its most recent
financial statements (or, for so long as the Company is the Master Servicer, the
most recent consolidated financial statements for the Company appearing in the
audited financial statements of Washington Mutual, Inc., or the entity with
whose financial statements the financial statements of the Company are
consolidated) and such other information as it possesses, and which it is not
prohibited by law or, to the extent applicable, binding obligations to third
parties with respect to confidentiality from disclosing, regarding its business,
affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
Default
Section 7.01. Events of Default. (a) In case one or more of the following Events
of Default by the Master Servicer or by a successor Master Servicer shall occur
and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate Account
any payment required to be deposited therein by the Master Servicer under the
terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five Business
Days 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 Trustee
or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II; or
119
(ii) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in
any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after 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 Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25% of REMIC II; or
(iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy,
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have
been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling 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 bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) Any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Monthly P&I Advance (other
than a Nonrecoverable Advance) which continues unremedied at the opening of
business on the Distribution Date in respect of which such Monthly P&I Advance
was to have been made;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in
writing to the Company and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by
the Certificateholders, in which case such notice shall set forth evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such Event of Default has occurred
and shall not have been remedied) may terminate all of the rights (other than
its right to reimbursement for advances) and obligations of the Master Servicer,
including its right to the Master Servicing Fee, under this Agreement and in and
to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, if any. Such determination shall
be final and binding. 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 or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as
120
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for administration by
it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Master
Servicer to the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi)
of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately suspend all
of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under
this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a
Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Monthly P&I Advances and other advances
of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.02 to carry
out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any
Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the Trustee must
be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date. If the Master
Servicer shall within two Business Days following such suspension remit to the
Trustee the amount of any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which by the
Master Servicer was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section
7.01(a), the Trustee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, shall
permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer agrees that it will reimburse the
Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee
because of action taken pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). The
Master Servicer agrees that if an Event of Default as described in clause (vi)
of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur more than two times in any twelve month
period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer
to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.
(b) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall
occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company
contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the
Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II; or
(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy,
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have
been entered against the Company and such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iii) The Company shall consent to the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy,
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
121
(iv) The Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in writing to the
Company and the Trustee, may direct the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.03
to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
to enforce the Company's obligations hereunder.
(c) In any circumstances in which this Agreement states that Certificateholders
owning Certificates evidencing a certain Percentage Interest in REMIC II may
take certain action, such action shall be taken by the Trustee, but only if the
requisite percentage of Certificateholders required under this Agreement for
taking like action or giving like instruction to the Trustee under this
Agreement shall have so directed the Trustee in writing.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the date on which the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Master Servicer resigns pursuant to
Section 6.04, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with
respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool and with respect to the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and
powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto arising on or after such date of termination or resignation
placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and thereof,
and shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master
Servicer; provided, that the Trustee shall not under any circumstances be
responsible for any representations and warranties or any Purchase Obligation of
the Company or any liability incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such date
of termination or resignation and the Trustee shall not be obligated to make a
Monthly P&I Advance if it is prohibited by law from so doing. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain or to
withdraw from the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to
act hereunder, except for those amounts due to the Master Servicer as
reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts previously expended and
are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee is
obligated to act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall, together with the
compensation to the Trustee, be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
122
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) In connection with any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer
hereunder, in the event that any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Loans, either
(i) the successor Master Servicer (including the Trustee if the Trustee is
acting as successor Master Servicer) shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the MERS Loans, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Master Servicer in registering the transfer of servicing of
the MERS Loans to the successor Master Servicer on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS' rules and procedures, or (ii) if the successor Master
Servicer is not a member of MERS, the predecessor Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in (A) de-registering the MERS
Loans from the MERS(R) System and (B) causing MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment from MERS to the Trust of the Mortgage securing each MERS Loan in
recordable form and in the form otherwise provided under clause (X)(iii) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" herein and to execute and deliver such other
notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
effect such de-registration and assignment. The predecessor Master Servicer
shall bear any and all fees of MERS and all fees and costs of preparing and
recording any assignments of Mortgages as required under this Section 7.02(b).
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such termination or
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.
ARTICLE VIII
Concerning the Trustees
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustees.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it which
are specifically required to be furnished to it pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
123
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such certificate, statement,
opinion, report, or other order or instrument furnished by the Company or Master
Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all
such 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,
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, and, in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, such 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 such trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally liable
with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
which evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to such trustee, or relating to the exercise of any trust or
power conferred upon such trustee under this Agreement.
(d) Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Rating Agencies notice
of each Event of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) notice of each Event of
Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Certificateholders;
and provided, further, that in the case of any Event of Default of the character
specified in Section 7.01(i) and Section 7.01(ii) no such notice to
Certificateholders or to the Rating Agencies shall be given until at least 30
days after the occurrence thereof.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustees. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may request and rely upon and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
124
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may consult with counsel and
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally liable
for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor
the Delaware Trustee shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of such
trustee, not reasonably assured to such trustee by the security, if any,
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, such trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
proceeding;
(v) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may execute the trust or any of
the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys selected by it with reasonable care or (as in the
case of the Initial Custodian) designated by the Company;
(vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of any matter, including without limitation an Event of
Default, unless actually known by a Responsible Officer, or unless written
notice thereof referencing this Agreement or the Certificates is received at the
Notice Address of such trustee;
(vii) In no event shall the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee be held liable for
acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the other trustee (excepting the
Trustee's own actions as Master Servicer). No provision of this Agreement shall
require the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder (except for the giving of required notices), or in the exercise of any
of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it;
125
(viii) When the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02,
and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Trustee is hereby
authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted hereunder, to
deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its
affiliates, whether it or its affiliate is acting as an agent of the Trustee or
of any third person or dealing as principal for its own account;
(ix) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, in no event shall the
Trustee be under any duty or obligation to monitor, determine, investigate or
compel compliance by the Trust with the requirements of the Statutory Trust
Statute; and
(x) In no event shall the Trustee be obligated or responsible for preparing,
executing, filing or delivering in respect of the Trust or another party either
(A) any report or filing required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to
be prepared, executed, filed or delivered in respect of the Trust or another
party or (B) any certification in respect of a report or filing required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 8.03. Trustees Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The
recitals contained herein (other than those relating to the due organization,
power and authority of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee) and in the
Certificates (other than the execution of, and certificate of authentication on,
the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Trust,
as applicable, and neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware
Trustee makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or any Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor
the Delaware Trustee shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company or the Trust, as applicable, of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Master Servicer, the Servicers or the Company in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited into the Custodial Accounts for P&I, any Buydown Fund
Account, or the Custodial Accounts for P&I by any Servicer or into the
Investment Account, or the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or the
Company.
Section 8.04. Trustees May Own Certificates. The Trustee, the Delaware Trustee
or any agent or affiliate of such trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights
it would have if it were not trustee.
Section 8.05. The Master Servicer to Pay Trustees' Fees and Expenses. Subject to
separate written agreements with the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, the
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to, and the Master Servicer shall, pay each
of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee from time to time, and such trustee
shall be entitled to payment, for all services rendered by it in the execution
of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of such trustee. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay or reimburse each of the Trustee
and the Delaware Trustee upon such trustee's request for all reasonable expenses
126
and disbursements incurred or made by such trustee in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement and indemnify such trustee from any loss, liability
or expense incurred by it hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly
in its employ and any expenses which arise out of or are imposed upon the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in connection with the creation, operation or
termination of the Trust) except any such expense or disbursement as may arise
from its own negligence or bad faith. Such obligation shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee. The Tax Matters Person shall, at its expense, prepare or cause
to be prepared all federal and state income tax and franchise tax and
information returns relating to REMIC I or REMIC II required to be prepared or
filed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and shall indemnify the Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee for any liability of such trustees arising from any error
in such returns.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustees. The Trustee hereunder shall
at all times be (i) an institution insured by the FDIC, (ii) a Corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and (iii) acceptable
to the Rating Agencies. If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any aforementioned
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06,
the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. The Delaware Trustee hereunder shall at all times have its
principal place of business in the State of Delaware and shall satisfy the
applicable requirements under the laws of the State of Delaware authorizing it
to act as the Delaware trustee of the Trust. In case at any time the Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, such trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustees. Each of the Trustee and the
Delaware Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee or the Delaware 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 Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove such trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which
instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed, the trustee continuing
in its capacity and the successor trustee.
127
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating more
than 50% of REMIC II may at any time remove the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee 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 Master Servicer,
one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the
resignation of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by such
trustee, and any expenses associated with the removal of the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall be borne by the Master Servicer.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to 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, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee or Delaware Trustee herein. The predecessor shall deliver to
the successor trustee all Mortgage Files, related documents, statements and all
other property held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer 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 8.08
unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to (i) all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and (ii) the Rating Agencies. If the Master Servicer
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Corporation into which the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or
any Corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of such trustee,
shall be the successor of such trustee hereunder, provided such resulting or
successor Corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the assets of the Trust
may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Delaware
128
Trustee, as applicable, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by such
trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with such trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the assets of the
Trust and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the
assets of the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may
consider necessary or desirable; provided, that the Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as applicable, shall remain liable for all of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, alone shall have the power to
make such appointment; provided, that such trustee shall remain liable for all

trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Certificateholders 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 or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
and severally, 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 or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable (whether as Trustee or Delaware Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), such trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
assets of the Trust 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 or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then related separate
trustee(s) and co-trustee(s), as effectively as if given to each of them. Every
instrument appointing any separate trustee(s) or co-trustee(s) shall refer to
this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee
and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, 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 or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable. Every such instrument shall be filed with the

the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, 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 the trust shall
129
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable,
to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.

Section 8.12. Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more Paying Agents
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in making withdrawals

Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include
such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent.

provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may appoint,
upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Paying Agent,
shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and shall
mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Paying
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder,
with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. Any reasonable
compensation paid to any Paying Agent shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant
to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.

All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including, without

Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the Trust and the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee created hereby shall terminate in accordance
with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon (i) the purchase by the
Master Servicer pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of
all Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired
in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property

aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (other than
Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through
Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Liquidated Mortgage Loan)
through the last day of the month of such purchase, over (B) with respect to any

Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of the date of
such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that the Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by such Bankruptcy Loss, and
(y) the appraised fair market value as of the effective date of the termination
of the Trust of (A) all property in the Trust which secured a Mortgage Loan and
which was acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the

Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor
of the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, the
Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than
Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage

under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding
paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the
outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other
property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement if the price stated
in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds the fair market value,
determined in accordance with prudent industry practices, of all outstanding
Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property
included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right is exercised,
the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the Company, if the
Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written certification of an

the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to purchase the
Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account) and the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as may be
necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files and
any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust.

(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to
Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final
distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the "Termination Date"),
(ii) the amount of such final payment (the "Termination Payment") and (iii) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the
Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate
Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall
terminate subject to the Master Servicer's obligation to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the
Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
133
the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in
trust hereunder.
Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or the
making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in
accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Delaware
Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee
hereunder shall sign, and the Delaware Trustee (upon the Trustee's consent
acting at the direction of the Master Servicer) shall file, a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the
Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall
terminate. The Master Servicer shall act as the liquidator of the Trust and
shall be responsible for taking all actions in connection with winding up the
Trust, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (including this
Section 9.01 and Section 9.02) and applicable law.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided
in Section 9.01, REMIC I and REMIC II shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, at its own
expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure of REMIC I and REMIC II to comply with the requirements of this Section
9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
of REMIC I and REMIC II as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause
REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice
given by the Trustee under Section 9.01, the Tax Matters Person shall prepare
the documentation required and the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee shall
adopt a plan of complete liquidation on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II meeting
the 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 Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and
at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Master Servicer as agent of the
Trust shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I and REMIC II to the Master
Servicer for cash in the amount specified in Section 9.01.
(b) By its acceptance of any Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby
agrees to authorize the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee to adopt such a plan
of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Tax Matters Person and
the Trustee and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Person or the Trustee.

obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the
Delaware Trustee. No such amendment (other than one entered into pursuant to
clause (iii) of the preceding sentence) shall change the powers of the Master
Servicer. Prior to entering into any amendment (other than one entered into

Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee to the effect that
such amendment is permitted under this Agreement and has no material adverse
effect on the interests of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no
such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Company obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates. Prior to entering into any amendment pursuant to clause (iii) of
the third preceding sentence without the consent of Certificateholders pursuant
to this paragraph, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to comply with the requirements imposed
by the Code or any regulations thereunder and shall not cause any REMIC formed
under this Agreement to fail to qualify as such under the Code.
135
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer,
the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of REMIC II for
the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate affected
thereby (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
distributions of principal or interest required to be made hereunder or reduce
the Certificateholder's Percentage Interest, the Certificate Interest Rate or
the Termination Payment with respect to any of the Certificates, (ii) reduce the
percentage of Percentage Interests specified in this Section 10.01 which are
required to amend this Agreement, (iii) create or permit the creation of any
lien against any part of REMIC I or REMIC II, or (iv) modify any provision in
any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the Certificates; provided,
further, that any such amendment which modifies the rights or obligations of the
Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the Delaware Trustee.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Delaware Trustee
and each Certificateholder. Any failure to provide such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amendment.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this

shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 10.02. Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices

accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise to
control the operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the
parties hereto (except as provided in Section 5.09, Section 7.01, Section 8.01,
Section 8.02, Section 8.07, Section 10.01 and this Section 10.03), nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
136
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any

and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less

institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding. However, the Trustee is under no obligation to
exercise any of the extraordinary trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at
the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders unless such
Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to
obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section 10.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 10.04. Access to List of Certificateholders. The Certificate Registrar

Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of
distributions to such Certificateholders.
If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as "applicants")
apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of
the communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such list from the
Certificate Registrar, afford such applicants access during normal business

a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such
applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate
Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such applicants
access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the
Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee that none of
the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be
137
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived.
Section 10.05. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its conflict of

WaMu MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series and Class specified hereon
(herein called the "Certificates") and representing certain interests in REMIC I
and REMIC II.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Company or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any
governmental agency. 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 Pooling Agreement. In the event funds
are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to
the Master Servicer from the related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from
other cash deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent that such advance
is not otherwise recoverable.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer
of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Pooling Agreement at
any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of the Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 66% of REMIC II. The Pooling 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 Pooling 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 of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by the Trustee in
the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized Denominations
of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as applicable, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
B-4
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the Trust created thereby
shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining
in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to
them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event that the Company or the
Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling Agreement,
the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee distribute to the
Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of the unpaid
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in which such
purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to purchase from the Trust all Mortgage Loans at the time subject
thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan upon payment
to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the Pooling Agreement. The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the
Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than the
Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

the origination, sale and servicing of the mortgage loans subject to this
Agreement. In the performance of its servicing duties, the Company shall
exercise the same degree of care it exercises when servicing mortgage loans for

reasonable prudent servicer would exercise under similar circumstances. In
addition, the Company shall comply with all of the provisions of the Guides and
with all other requirements and instructions of Washington Mutual Mortgage. The
Company shall perform such duties at its sole expense, except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Guides.

(c) the purchase of the mortgage loan by Washington Mutual Mortgage, its
assignee or designee, (d) the repurchase of the mortgage loan by the Company and

by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Such a written waiver or
amendment must expressly reference this Agreement. However, by their terms the

time. Any such amendment(s) to the Guides shall be in writing and be binding
upon the parties hereto on and after the effective date specified therein.
11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including all documents incorporated by

hereto and supersedes all other agreements, covenants, representations,
warranties, understandings and communications between the parties, whether
written or oral, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. All section headings contained herein are for convenience only and
shall not be construed as part of this Agreement. Any provision of this
Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to

qualify the Certificate under any state securities law or provide registration
rights to any purchaser. Any Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Company 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.]
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized Denominations
of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as applicable, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the Trust created thereby
shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining
in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to
them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event that the Company or the
Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling Agreement,
the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee distribute to the
Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of the unpaid
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in which such
purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to purchase from the Trust all Mortgage Loans at the time subject
thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan upon payment
to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the Pooling Agreement. The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the
Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than the
Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or beneficial owner
of the Class R Certificate (the "Owner")), a [savings institution] [corporation]
duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of ] [the United
States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified organization" as of
[date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal

interest in the Class R Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Class R
Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which
it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as
this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any
agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not
selected by any such governmental entity), or any foreign government or
international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign
government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any
organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt
from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of
the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on
the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes

interest" within the meaning of 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,
if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede

regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the Transfer of
the Class R-1 Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferees' agent,

payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the
Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation of Section
5.01). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
restrictions and provisions.

Certificates by the Owner is or will be to enable the transferor to impede the
assessment or collection of tax, and that in making this representation, the
Owner warrants that the Owner is familiar with Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)
and with the preamble to the adoption of amendments to that regulation as of
July 19, 2002, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
10. That the Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R
Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from
whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes
associated with holding such Certificates as they become due, fully
understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the Class R Certificates. That the Owner has provided financial

connection with the transfer of the Class R Certificates to permit the
transferor to assess the financial capability of the Owner to pay such taxes.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be

preamble to the adoption of amendments to that regulation as of July 19, 2002,
attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and that no purpose of the Owner relating to any
sale of the Class R Certificates by the Owner will be to impede the assessment
or collection of tax.

another United States taxpayer.
16. The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company and to take any action
required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder (whether now or
hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of REMIC
I and REMIC II (the "REMICs").
17. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that could endanger
the REMIC status of the REMICs or result in the imposition of tax on the REMICs
unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the Company has provided an opinion that
such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition
of such tax, as applicable.

transferor that, if the Class R Certificates constitute a noneconomic residual
interest, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act
The collection of information in this final rule has been reviewed and, pending
receipt and evaluation of public comments, approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned control number 1545-1675. The
collection of information in this regulation is in Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(5)(ii). This
information is required to enable the IRS to verify that a taxpayer is complying
with the conditions of this regulation. The collection of information is
mandatory and is required. Otherwise, the taxpayer will not receive the benefit
of safe harbor treatment as provided in the regulation. The likely respondents
are businesses and other for-profit institutions.
Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the Office of
Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX, 00000, with copies
to the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer,
W:CAR:MP:FP:S, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. Comments on the collection of information
should be received by September 17, 2002. Comments are specifically requested
concerning:
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection
of information (see below);
How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected may be
enhanced;
How the burden of complying with the collection of information may be minimized,
including through the application of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and
Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service to provide information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid control number
assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.
The estimated total annual reporting burden is 470 hours, based on an estimated
number of respondents of 470 and an estimated average annual burden hours per
respondent of one hour.
Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as
long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential,
as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed amendments to 26
CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The
regulations provide the circumstances under which a transferor of a noneconomic
REMIC residual interest meeting the investigation and representation
requirements may avail itself of the safe harbor by satisfying either the
formula test or the asset test.
Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules governing the
transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In general, a transfer of a
noneconomic residual interest is disregarded for all tax purposes if a
significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the
assessment or collection of tax. A purpose to impede the assessment or
collection of tax (a wrongful purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of
the transfer, either knew or should have known that the transferee would be
unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income.
Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual interest is
presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements are satisfied: (1)
the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation of the transferee's financial
condition (the investigation requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a
representation from the transferee to the effect that the transferee understands
the tax obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to
pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of noneconomic
residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even in situations where
the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the transferee is unwilling or
unable to pay the tax associated with holding the interest. For this reason, on
February 7, 2000, the IRS published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a
notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify
the safe harbor by adding the "formula test," an economic test. The proposed
regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the present value
of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest
does not exceed the sum of: (1) The present value of any consideration given to
the transferee to acquire the interest; (2) the present value of the expected
future distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the REMIC
generates losses.
The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs. Section
1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements for transfers of
FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by reference to the safe
harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.
In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) to set
forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers could use while the IRS and the
Treasury considered comments on the proposed regulations. Under the alternative
safe harbor, if a transferor meets the investigation requirement and the
representation requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the
transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-prong test
(the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first prong of this test if,
at the time of the transfer, and in each of the two years preceding the year of
transfer, the transferee's gross assets exceed $100 million and its net assets
exceed $10 million. A transferee generally meets the second prong of this test
if it is a domestic, taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer
the interest to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that
also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot rely on
the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know, that the
transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit the restrictions
on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be satisfied in the
case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic residual interest to a foreign
branch of an otherwise eligible transferee. If such a transfer or assignment
were permitted, a corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of
an applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as
foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax liability
attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset by foreign tax
credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on
excess inclusion income, contrary to the congressional purpose of assuring that
such income will be taxable in all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b),
(e) and 860G(b) of the Code.
The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers transferring
noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have attempted to rely on the
formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment in an effort to impede the
assessment or collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income. Accordingly,
the final regulations provide that if a noneconomic residual interest is
transferred to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S.
taxpayer, the transfer is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either
the asset test or the formula test. The final regulations also require a
transferee to represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic
residual interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or
fixed base.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer may use to
qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test. Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i)
provides that the transferee is presumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the
highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b). Some commentators were concerned
that this presumed rate of taxation was too high because it does not take into
consideration taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of
the comments received, this provision has been amended in the final regulations
to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable income using the
alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative minimum tax rate applicable
to corporations.
Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present values in the
formula test are to be computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable
Federal short-term rate prescribed by section 1274(d). This is a change from the
proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12. In those publications the provision
stated that "present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the
applicable Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually"
and that "[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can demonstrate
that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or business, substantial
funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third party." The IRS and the
Treasury Department have learned that, based on this provision, certain
taxpayers have been attempting to use unrealistically low or zero interest rates
to satisfy the formula test, frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore,
the Treasury Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate
other than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary complexity
to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed regulations that
permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if the transferee can
demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial funds at such lower rate, is
not included in the final regulations; and the Federal short-term rate has been
substituted for the applicable Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers'
computations, the final regulations allow use of any of the published short-term
rates, provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding period
of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to transfers to
foreign branches, these changes generally have the proposed applicability date
of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may choose to apply the interest rate formula
set forth in the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers
occurring before August 19, 2002.
It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with respect to
FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in
substantially its present form, with the result that the final regulations
contained in this document will also govern transfers of FASIT ownership
interests with substantially the same applicability date as is contained in this
document.
Effect on Other Documents
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of noneconomic
residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August 19, 2002.
Special Analyses
It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is
based on the fact that it is unlikely that a substantial number of small
entities will hold REMIC residual interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not
required. It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a
significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that sections
553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) do
not apply to these regulations.
