The Company intends to sell Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates

Loans but excluding the Initial Monthly Payment Fund), as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit (each, a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes.
The terms and provisions of the Standard Terms are hereby incorporated
by reference herein as though set forth in full herein. If any term or provision
contained herein shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision
contained in the Standard Terms, the terms and provisions of this Series
Supplement shall govern. Any cross-reference to a section of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, to the extent the terms of the Standard Terms and Series
Supplement conflict with respect to that section, shall be a cross-reference to
the related section of the Series Supplement. All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Standard
Terms. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be dated as of the date of the
Series Supplement.

Prepayment Assumption: A prepayment assumption of 250% of the prepayment
speed assumption, used for determining the accrual of original issue discount
and market discount and premium on the Certificates for federal income tax
purposes. The prepayment speed assumption assumes a constant rate of prepayment
of mortgage loans of 0.2% per annum of the then outstanding principal balance of
such mortgage loans in the first month of the life of the mortgage loans,
increasing by an additional 0.2% per annum in each succeeding month until the
thirtieth month, and a constant 6% per annum rate of prepayment thereafter for
the life of the mortgage loans.
Prepayment Distribution Percentage: With respect to any Distribution
Date and each Class of Subordinate Certificates, under the applicable
circumstances set forth below, the respective percentages set forth below:
(i) For any Distribution Date prior to the Distribution Date in
February 2006 (unless the Certificate Principal Balances of the Senior
Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) have been reduced
to zero), 0%.
(ii) For any Distribution Date for which clause (i) above does
not apply, and on which any Class of Subordinate Certificates are
outstanding:
(a) in the case of the Class of Subordinate Certificates
then outstanding with the Highest Priority and each other Class
of Subordinate Certificates for which the related Prepayment
Distribution Trigger has been satisfied, a fraction, expressed as
a percentage, the numerator of which is the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class immediately prior to such date and the
denominator of which is the sum of the Certificate Principal
Balances immediately prior to such date of (1) the Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the Highest
Priority and (2) all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates
for which the respective Prepayment Distribution Triggers have
been satisfied; and
(b) in the case of each other Class of Subordinate
Certificates for which the Prepayment Distribution Triggers have
not been satisfied, 0%; and
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the
foregoing percentages on any Distribution Date as provided in Section
4.02 of this Series Supplement (determined
-7-
without regard to the proviso to the definition of "Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount") would result in a distribution in
respect of principal of any Class or Classes of Subordinate Certificates
in an amount greater than the remaining Certificate Principal Balance
thereof (any such class, a "Maturing Class"), then: (a) the Prepayment
Distribution Percentage of each Maturing Class shall be reduced to a
level that, when applied as described above, would exactly reduce the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero; (b) the Prepayment
Distribution Percentage of each other Class of Subordinate Certificates
(any such Class, a "Non-Maturing Class") shall be recalculated in
accordance with the provisions in paragraph (ii) above, as if the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Maturing Class had been reduced to
zero (such percentage as recalculated, the "Recalculated Percentage");
(c) the total amount of the reductions in the Prepayment Distribution
Percentages of the Maturing Class or Classes pursuant to clause (a) of
this sentence, expressed as an aggregate percentage, shall be allocated
among the Non-Maturing Classes in proportion to their respective
Recalculated Percentages (the portion of such aggregate reduction so
allocated to any Non-Maturing Class, the "Adjustment Percentage"); and
(d) for purposes of such Distribution Date, the Prepayment Distribution
Percentage of each Non-Maturing Class shall be equal to the sum of (1)
the Prepayment Distribution Percentage thereof, calculated in accordance
with the provisions in paragraph (ii) above as if the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Maturing Class had not been reduced to zero,
plus (2) the related Adjustment Percentage.
Principal Only Certificates: Any one of the Class A-P Certificates.
Senior Certificate: Any one of the Class A Certificates or Class R
Certificates, executed by the Trustee and authenticated by the Certificate
Registrar substantially in the form annexed to the Standard Terms as Exhibit A
and Exhibit D, respectively.
Senior Percentage: As of any Distribution Date, the lesser of 100% and a
fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class
A-P Certificates) immediately prior to such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the
Mortgage Loans (or related REO Properties) (other than the related Discount
Fraction of each Discount Mortgage Loan) immediately prior to such Distribution
Date.
Senior Principal Distribution Amount: As to any Distribution Date, the
lesser of (a) the balance of the Available Distribution Amount remaining after
the distribution of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(ii)(X) of this Series Supplement, or, after the
Credit Support Depletion Date, the amount required to be distributed to the
Class A-P Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02(c) of this Series
Supplement and (b) the sum of the amounts required to be distributed to the
Senior Certificateholders on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(ii)(Y), (xvi) and (xvii) of this Series Supplement.
Special Hazard Amount: As of any Distribution Date, an amount equal to
$1,996,245 minus the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Special Hazard Losses
allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of Certificates in accordance
with Section 4.05 of this Series Supplement and (ii) the Adjustment Amount (as
defined below) as most recently calculated. For each anniversary of the Cut- off
Date, the Adjustment Amount shall be equal to the amount, if any, by which the
amount
-8-
calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence (without giving effect to
the deduction of the Adjustment Amount for such anniversary) exceeds the greater
of (A) the greatest of (i) twice the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund which has the largest outstanding principal
balance on the Distribution Date immediately preceding such anniversary, (ii)
the product of 1.00% multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of all
Mortgage Loans on the Distribution Date immediately preceding such anniversary
and (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance (as of the immediately
preceding Distribution Date) of the Mortgage Loans in any single five-digit
California zip code area with the largest amount of Mortgage Loans by aggregate
principal balance as of such anniversary and (B) the greater of (i) the product
of 0.50% multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of all Mortgage Loans
on the Distribution Date immediately preceding such anniversary multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
balance (as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date) of all of the
Mortgage Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the State of
California divided by the aggregate outstanding principal balance (as of the
immediately preceding Distribution Date) of all of the Mortgage Loans, expressed
as a percentage, and the denominator of which is equal to 42.6% (which
percentage is equal to the percentage of Mortgage Loans initially secured by
Mortgaged Properties located in the State of California) and (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal balance (as of the immediately preceding Distribution
Date) of the largest Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property (or, with
respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Apartment) located in the
State of California.
The Special Hazard Amount may be further reduced by the Master Servicer
(including accelerating the manner in which coverage is reduced) provided that
prior to any such reduction, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such reduction shall not reduce the
rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency below the
lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as
of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency and (ii) provide a copy of such
written confirmation to the Trustee.
Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount: With respect to any
Distribution Date and each Class of Subordinate Certificates, (a) the sum of (i)
the product of (x) the related Subordinate Class Percentage for such Class and
(y) the aggregate of the amounts calculated for such Distribution Date under
clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 4.02(a)(ii)(Y)(A) of this Series Supplement
(without giving effect to the Senior Percentage) to the extent not payable to
the Senior Certificates; (ii) such Class's pro rata share, based on the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding, of the principal collections described in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(Y)(B)(b) of this Series Supplement (without giving effect to the
Senior Accelerated Distribution Percentage) to the extent such collections are
not otherwise distributed to the Senior Certificates; (iii) the product of (x)
the related Prepayment Distribution Percentage and (y) the aggregate of all
Principal Prepayments in Full received in the related Prepayment Period and
Curtailments received in the preceding calendar month (other than the related
Discount Fraction of such Principal Prepayments in Full and Curtailments with
respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan) to the extent not payable to the Senior
Certificates; (iv) if such Class is the Class of Subordinate Certificates with
the Highest Priority, any Excess Subordinate Principal Amount for such
Distribution Date; and (v) any amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
as determined for any previous Distribution Date, that remain undistributed to

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (See Section 2.01 of the
Standard Terms)
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee. (See Section 2.02 of the Standard
Terms)
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
Servicer and the Company.
(a) For representations, warranties and covenants of the Master
Servicer, see Section 2.03(a) of the Standard Terms.
(b) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for
the benefit of Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date (or, if
otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified):
(i) No Mortgage Loan is 30 or more days Delinquent in
payment of principal and interest as of the Cut-off Date and no
Mortgage Loan has been so Delinquent more than once in the
12-month period prior to the Cut-off Date;
(ii) The information set forth in Exhibit One hereto with
respect to each Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, as the case
may be, is true and correct in all material respects at the date
or dates respecting which such information is furnished;
(iii) The Mortgage Loans are fully-amortizing, fixed-rate
mortgage loans with level Monthly Payments due on the first day
of each month and terms to maturity at origination or
modification of not more than 30 years;
(iv) To the best of the Company's knowledge, if a Mortgage
Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property with a Loan-to-Value
Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, such Mortgage Loan is the
subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that (a) at
least 30% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at
origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 95.00% and
90.01%, (b) at least 25% of such balance if the Loan-to-Value
Ratio is between 90.00% and 85.01%, and (c) at least 12% of such
balance if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 85.00% and 80.01%.
Approximately 0.7% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans will be secured by Pledged Assets in addition
to the related Mortgaged Property and in lieu of any Primary
Insurance Policy. To the best of the Company's knowledge, each
such Primary Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the
Trustee is entitled to the benefits thereunder;
-11-
(v) The issuers of the Primary Insurance Policies are
insurance companies whose claims-paying abilities are currently
acceptable to each Rating Agency;
(vi) No more than 0.8% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate
Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date are secured by
Mortgaged Properties located in any one zip code area in
California and no more than 1.1% of the Mortgage Loans by
aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date are
secured by Mortgaged Properties located in any one zip code area
outside California;
(vii) The improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are
insured against loss by fire and other hazards as required by the
Program Guide, including flood insurance if required under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Mortgage
requires the Mortgagor to maintain such casualty insurance at the
Mortgagor's expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
insurance at the Mortgagor's expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee, the Company had good title to, and was the
sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than rights to
servicing and related compensation) and such assignment validly
transfers ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee free and
clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest;
(ix) 11.8% of the Mortgage Loans were underwritten under a
reduced loan documentation program;
(x) Each Mortgagor represented in its loan application
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that the Mortgaged
Property would be owner-occupied and therefore would not be an
investor property as of the date of origination of such Mortgage
Loan. No Mortgagor is a corporation or a partnership;
(xi) None of the Mortgage Loans are Buydown Mortgage Loans;
(xii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage
under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(a)(1);
(xiii) A policy of title insurance was effective as of the
closing of each Mortgage Loan and is valid and binding and
remains in full force and effect, unless the Mortgaged Properties
are located in the State of Iowa and an attorney's certificate
has been provided as described in the Program Guide;
(xiv) None of the Mortgage Loans are Cooperative Loans;
(xv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan originated under a
"streamlined" Mortgage Loan program (through which no new or
updated appraisals of Mortgaged
-12-
Properties are obtained in connection with the refinancing
thereof), the related Seller has represented that either (a) the
value of the related Mortgaged Property as of the date the
Mortgage Loan was originated was not less than the appraised
value of such property at the time of origination of the
refinanced Mortgage Loan or (b) the Loan- to-Value Ratio of the
Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan
generally meets the Company's underwriting guidelines;
(xvi) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;
(xvii) None of the Mortgage Loans contains in the related
Mortgage File a Destroyed Mortgage Note; and
(xviii)Approximately 0.7% of the Mortgage Loans by
aggregate Stated Principal Balance are Pledged Asset Loans and
approximately 0.3% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate Stated
Principal Balance are Additional Collateral Loans.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to
the Trustee or any Custodian.
Upon discovery by any of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or any Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian
being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement); provided, however, that in the
event of a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section
2.03(b)(xii), the party discovering such breach shall give such notice within
five days of discovery. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice
of breach, the Company shall either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that the Company
shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years
following the Closing Date; provided that if the omission or defect would cause
the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days
from the date such breach was discovered. Any such substitution shall be
effected by the Company under the same terms and conditions as provided in
Section 2.04 for substitutions by Residential Funding. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Company to cure such breach or to so purchase
or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available
to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to cure
breaches or purchase or substitute for Mortgage Loans as provided in this
Section 2.03(b) if the substance of the breach of a representation set forth
above also constitutes fraud in the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.05 Execution and Authentication of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and
the delivery of the Mortgage Files to it, or any Custodian on its behalf,
subject to any exceptions noted, together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor, the Trustee, pursuant
to the written request of the Company executed by an officer of the Company has
executed and caused to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Company the Certificates in authorized denominations which evidence
ownership of the entire Trust Fund.

(c) On or after the Credit Support Depletion Date, all priorities
relating to distributions as described in Section 4.02(b) above in respect
of principal among the various classes of Senior Certificates (other than

the Discount Fraction of the principal portion of scheduled payments and
unscheduled collections received or advanced in respect of the Discount
Mortgage Loans will be distributed to the Class A-P Certificates, (ii) the
Senior Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed to the remaining
Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) pro rata in
accordance with their respective outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances, and (iii) the amount set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) will be
distributed as set forth therein.
(d) After the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of
the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) to zero
but prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Senior Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates) will be entitled to no further
distributions of principal thereon and the Available Distribution Amount
will be paid solely to the holders of the Class A-P Certificates, Class
A-V Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, in each
case as described herein.
(e) In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to
any Mortgage Loan that was previously the subject of a Cash Liquidation
or an REO Disposition that resulted in a Realized Loss, in the event
that within two years of the date on which such Realized Loss was
determined to have occurred the Master Servicer receives amounts, which
the Master Servicer reasonably believes to represent subsequent
recoveries (net of any related liquidation expenses), or determines that
it holds surplus amounts previously reserved to cover estimated
expenses, specifically related to such Mortgage Loan (including, but not
limited to, recoveries in respect of the representations and warranties
made by the related Seller pursuant to the applicable Seller's Agreement
and assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04), the Master
Servicer shall distribute such amounts to the applicable
Certificateholders of the Class or Classes to which such Realized Loss
was allocated (with the amounts to be distributed allocated among such
Classes in the same proportions as such Realized Loss was allocated),
and within each such Class to the Certificateholders of record as of the
Record Date immediately preceding the date of such distribution (or if
such Class of Certificates is no longer outstanding, to the
Certificateholders of record at the time that such Realized Loss was
allocated); provided that no such distribution to any Class of
Certificates of subsequent recoveries related to a Mortgage Loan shall
exceed, either
-22-
individually or in the aggregate and together with any other amounts
paid in reimbursement therefor, the amount of the related Realized Loss
that was allocated to such Class of Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such distribution shall be made with respect to the
Certificates of any Class to the extent that either (i) such Class was
protected against the related Realized Loss pursuant to any instrument
or fund established under Section 11.01(e) or (ii) such Class of
Certificates has been deposited into a separate trust fund or other
structuring vehicle and separate certificates or other instruments
representing interests therein have been issued in one or more classes,
and any of such separate certificates or other instruments were
protected against the related Realized Loss pursuant to any limited
guaranty, payment obligation, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond,
insurance policy or similar instrument or a reserve fund, or a
combination thereof. Any amount to be so distributed with respect to the
Certificates of any Class shall be distributed by the Master Servicer to
the Certificateholders of record as of the Record Date immediately
preceding the date of such distribution (i) with respect to the
Certificates of any Class (other than the Class A-V Certificates), on a
pro rata basis based on the Percentage Interest represented by each
Certificate of such Class as of such Record Date and (ii) with respect
to the Class A-V Certificates, to the Class A-V Certificates or any
Subclass thereof in the same proportion as the related Realized Loss was
allocated. Any amounts to be so distributed shall not be remitted to or
distributed from the Trust Fund, and shall constitute subsequent
recoveries with respect to Mortgage Loans that are no longer assets of
the Trust Fund.
(f) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository
shall be solely responsible for crediting the amount of such
distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in
accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall
be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate
Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage
firm (a "brokerage firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage
firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners
that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Company or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, if the Master
Servicer anticipates that a final distribution with respect to any Class
of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall, no later than the Determination Date in the month of
such final distribution, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, no
later than two (2) Business Days after such Determination Date, mail on
such date to each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the
effect that: (i) the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such
Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office of the Trustee or as otherwise specified
therein, and (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that
Certificateholders required to surrender their Certificates pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) do not surrender their Certificates for final
cancellation, the Trustee shall cause funds distributable with respect
to such Certificates to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and
credited to a separate escrow account for the benefit of such
Certificateholders as provided in Section 9.01(d).

Section 4.03 Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Concurrently with each distribution charged to the Certificate
Account and with respect to each Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee and the Trustee shall either forward by mail or make
available to each Holder and the Company, via the Trustee's internet website, a
statement (and at its option, any additional files containing the same
information in an alternative format) setting forth information as to each Class
of Certificates and the Mortgage Pool. This statement will include the
information set forth in Exhibit Three hereto. On the first Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a paper copy of such statement. On each
Distribution Date after the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall mail to
each Holder that requests a paper copy by telephone a paper copy via first class
mail. The Trustee may modify the distribution procedures set forth in this
Section provided that such procedures are no less convenient for the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall provide prior notification to the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders regarding any such modification.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to any manager of a trust fund
consisting of some or all of the Certificates, upon reasonable request, such
additional information as is reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer at no
additional expense to the Master Servicer.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall
forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate,
a statement containing the information set forth in subsection (a) above
aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Master Servicer
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to any
requirements of the Code.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall
forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Class R Certificate, a statement containing
the applicable distribution information provided pursuant to this Section 4.03
aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was the Holder of a Class R Certificate. Such obligation of the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer, as soon as reasonably practicable, shall provide the requesting
Certificateholder with such information as is necessary and appropriate, in the
Master Servicer's sole discretion, for purposes of satisfying applicable
reporting requirements under Rule 144A.
(e) On the first Distribution Date, the Trustee will forward by mail to
each Certificateholder and other parties to the Agreement the reports referred
to in this Section 4.03. On each Distribution Date after the first Distribution
Date, the Trustee will make the reports referred to in this Section 4.03 (and,
at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders and other parties
to the Agreement via the Trustee's
-24-
website, which is presently located at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx. Persons that are
unable to use the above website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them
via first class mail by calling the Trustee at (000) 000-0000. On each
Distribution Date after the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall have the
right to change the way the reports referred to in this Section 4.03 are
distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more
accessible to the above parties and to the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall
provide timely and adequate notification to all the parties mentioned above and
to the Certificateholders regarding any such change.
Section 4.04 Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Company;
Advances by the Master Servicer. (See Section 4.04 of the
Standard Terms)
Section 4.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash
Liquidation, Servicing Modification, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation
or REO Disposition that occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the
case of a Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the interest
rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the reduction in the interest portion of
the Monthly Payment due during the related Due Period. The amount of each
Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. All Realized
Losses, other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Extraordinary Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses or Excess Fraud Losses, shall be allocated as follows: first,
to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class B-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-2
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero; sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, if any such Realized
Losses are on a Discount Mortgage Loan, to the Class A-P Certificates in an
amount equal to the Discount Fraction of the principal portion thereof, and the
remainder of such Realized Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans and the entire
amount of such Realized Losses on Non-Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated
among all the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) on a
pro rata basis, as described below. Any Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Extraordinary Losses on Non-Discount
Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Senior Certificates (other than the
Class A-P Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates, on a pro rata basis, as
described below. The principal portion of such Realized Losses on the Discount
Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Class A-P Certificates in an amount
equal to the Discount Fraction thereof and the remainder of such Realized Losses
on the Discount Mortgage Loans and the entire amount of such Realized Losses on
Non-Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Senior Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates, on a pro
rata basis, as described below.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis"
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro
rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date in the
-25-
case of the principal portion of a Realized Loss or based on the Accrued
Certificate Interest thereon payable on such Distribution Date (without regard
to any Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date) in the case of an
interest portion of a Realized Loss. Except as provided in the following
sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than
Debt Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be made by reducing
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which
allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such Distribution Date. Any
allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service
Reductions) to the Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the Lowest
Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of "Certificate Principal
Balance" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of
the interest portions of Realized Losses shall be made in proportion to the
amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the definition of
"Accrued Certificate Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section
4.02(a). Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall
be made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). All Realized Losses
and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be
allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby; provided that if any Subclasses of the Class A-V
Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 5.01(c), such Realized Losses
and other losses allocated to the Class A-V Certificates shall be allocated
among such Subclasses in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued
Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date that would have resulted
absent such reductions.

Terms)
Section 10.02 Master Servicer; REMIC Administrator and Trustee
Indemnification. (See Section 10.02 of the Standard Terms)
Section 10.03 Designation of REMIC(s).
The REMIC Administrator will make an election to treat the entire
segregated pool of assets described in the definition of Trust Fund, and subject
to this Agreement (including the Mortgage Loans but excluding the Initial
Monthly Payment Fund) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.
The Class A-1, Class A-P, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1,
Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates and the rights in and to which will be
represented by the Class A-V Certificates, will be "regular interests" in the
REMIC, and the Class R Certificates will be the sole class of "residual
interests" therein for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined in the
Standard Terms) under federal income tax law. On and after the date of issuance
of any Subclass of Class A-V Certificates pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the
Standard Terms, any such Subclass will represent the Uncertificated Class A-V
REMIC Regular Interest or Interests specified by the initial Holder of the Class
A-V Certificates pursuant to said Section.
Section 10.04 Distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests.
(a) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute
to itself, as the holder of the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests,
Uncertificated Accrued Interest on the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests
for such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon
remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Date.
(b) In determining from time to time the Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest Distribution Amounts, Realized Losses allocated to the Class A-V
Certificates under Section 4.05 shall be deemed allocated to Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interests on a pro rata basis based on the Uncertificated Accrued
Interest for the related Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute
from the Trust Fund, in the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), to the Class
A-V Certificates, the amounts distributable thereon from the Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interest Distribution Amounts deemed to have been received by the
Trustee from the Trust Fund under this Section 10.04. The amount deemed
distributable hereunder with respect to the Class A-V Certificates shall equal
100% of the amounts payable with respect to the Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interests.
-32-
(d) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interests described in this Section 10.04, distributions of funds from
the Certificate Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.02.
Section 10.05 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee or
any Paying Agent, as applicable, shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders, including interest or
original interest discount payments or advances thereof that the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as applicable, reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.
The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In
the event the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as applicable, does withhold any
amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to
any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, as applicable, shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of such requirements.

provided by the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates,
including interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940,

credit and investment property and other property of whatever kind or
description now existing or hereafter acquired consisting of, arising from or
relating to any of the following: (A) the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note, Security Agreement,
Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificate and Cooperative
Lease, (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan,
the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and (iii) any insurance policies and all
other documents in the related Mortgage File, (B) all amounts payable pursuant
to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, (C) any
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and (D) all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held
or invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the
form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by
the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of
Residential Funding's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property
described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C) and (D) granted by
Residential Funding to the Company pursuant to the Assignment Agreement; (c) the
possession by the Trustee, the Custodian or any other agent of the Trustee of
Mortgage Notes or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment
property, certificated securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or a person
designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction as in effect (including,
without limitation, Sections 8-106, 9-305 and 9-115 thereof); and (d)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities
intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for (as applicable) the
Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law.
The Company and, at the Company's direction, Residential Funding and the
Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
determined to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, any
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the other property described above,
such security interest would be determined to be a perfected security interest
of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee not less than 15 days prior
to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for filing, or shall cause to
be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Company, all filings necessary to
maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's
security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans and any Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interests, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Company,
including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of Residential
Funding, the Company or the Trustee (such preparation
34
and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee, if occasioned by a change in
the Trustee's name), (2) any change of location of the place of business or the
chief executive office of Residential Funding or the Company, (3) any transfer
of any interest of Residential Funding or the Company in any Mortgage Loan or
(4) any transfer of any interest of Residential Funding or the Company in any
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest.
(g) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the
Initial Monthly Payment Fund. The Master Servicer shall hold such Initial
Monthly Payment Fund in the Custodial Account and shall include such Initial
Monthly Payment Fund in the Available Distribution Amount for the initial
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial
Monthly Payment Fund shall not be an asset of any REMIC. To the extent that the
Initial Monthly Payment Fund constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax
purposes, (1) it shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of any REMIC,
(2) it shall be owned by the Seller and (3) amounts transferred by any REMIC to
the Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall be treated as transferred to the Seller
or any successor, all within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury
Regulations.
(h) The Company agrees that the sale of each Pledged Asset Loan pursuant
to this Agreement will also constitute the assignment, sale, setting-over,
transfer and conveyance to the Trustee, without recourse (but subject to the
Company's covenants, representations and warranties specifically provided
herein), of all of the Company's obligations and all of the Company's right,
title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter acquired
as owner of the Mortgage Loan with respect to all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, instruments, documents,
certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property
and other property of whatever kind or description consisting of, arising from
or related to (i) the Assigned Contracts, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies
of the Company as owner of such Mortgage Loan under or in connection with the
Assigned Contracts, whether arising under the terms of such Assigned Contracts,
by statute, at law or in equity, or otherwise arising out of any default by the
Mortgagor under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts, including all
rights to exercise any election or option or to make any decision or
determination or to give or receive any notice, consent, approval or waiver
thereunder, (iii) all security interests in and lien of the Company as owner of
such Mortgage Loan in the Pledged Amounts and all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, instruments, documents,
certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property
and other property of whatever kind or description and all cash and non-cash
proceeds of the sale, exchange, or redemption of, and all stock or conversion
rights, rights to subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock
dividends, rights to interest, dividends, earnings, income, rents, issues,
profits, interest payments or other distributions of cash or other property that
is credited to the Custodial Account, (iv) all documents, books and records
concerning the foregoing (including all computer programs, tapes, disks and
related items containing any such information) and (v) all insurance proceeds
(including proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company) of
any of the foregoing or replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, proceeds
of proceeds and the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any thereof. The
foregoing transfer, sale, assignment and conveyance does not constitute and is
not intended to result in the creation, or an assumption by the Trustee, of any
obligation of the Company, or any other person in connection with the Pledged
Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any
obligation to the Mortgagor, other than as owner of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans
subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or
certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as
the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section
2.01(b)(I)(i) and Section 2.01(b)(II)(i), (iii), (v), (vi) and (viii) above
(except that for purposes of such acknowledgment only, a Mortgage Note may be
endorsed in blank) and declares that it, or a Custodian as its agent, holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part of the
Mortgage Files delivered to it, or a Custodian as its agent, and the rights of
Residential Funding with respect to any Pledged Assets, Additional Collateral
and the Surety Bond assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust
for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee or Custodian (such Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial
Agreement) agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each
Mortgage File delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b) within 45 days after
the Closing Date to ascertain that all required documents (specifically as set
forth in Section 2.01(b)), have been executed and received, and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
as supplemented, that have been conveyed to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a
certificate (the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all documents
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed
and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A
attached to such Interim Certification. Upon delivery of the Mortgage Files by
the Company or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt (or,
with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based
solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the
respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01(c) above.
If the Custodian, as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective, the
Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer and the Company. Pursuant
to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee of any such omission or defect found by it
in respect of any Mortgage File held by it in respect of the items reviewed by
it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If such omission or defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the related Subservicer or Seller of such
omission or defect and request that such Subservicer or Seller correct or cure
such omission or defect within 60 days from the date the Master Servicer was
notified of such omission or defect and, if such Subservicer or Seller does not
correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that such
Subservicer or Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at its
Purchase Price, in either case within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer
was notified of such omission or defect; provided that if the omission or defect
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within
90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any
such Mortgage Loan, whether purchased by the Seller or the Subservicer, shall be
deposited or caused to be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial
Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.07 and, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the Master
Servicer the related
36
Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee or the
Subservicer or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust
Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Subservicer or Seller that
repurchases the Mortgage Loan is not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Master Servicer, at its own expense and
without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to such Subservicer or Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller or
the Subservicer, as the case may be, to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as
to which a material and adverse defect in or omission of a constituent document
exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission
available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
Servicer and the Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders that:

to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms
of this Agreement will not violate the Master Servicer's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or constitute a material
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a material default) under, or result in
the material breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or which may
be applicable to the Master Servicer or any of its assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Company,
constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Master
Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms

enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(iv) The Master Servicer is not in default with respect to
any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or
demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency,
which default might have consequences that
37
would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
other) or operations of the Master Servicer or its properties or
might have consequences that would materially adversely affect
its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master
Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer

Subservicing Agreement and each designated Subservicer are

Agreements will comply with the provisions of Section 3.02; and
(ix) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good
standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules
and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive
delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or any
Custodian.
Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or any Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this
Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian being so
obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 90 days of its discovery or its
receipt of notice of such breach, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cure such
breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with
respect to a Mortgage Loan or a related document, purchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section
2.02; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to
be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such
breach was discovered. The obligation of the Master Servicer to cure such breach
or to so purchase such Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy in respect
of a breach of a representation and warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a)
available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
38
(b) Representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans are
set forth in Section 2.03(b) of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of Sellers.
The Company, as assignee of Residential Funding under the Assignment
Agreement, hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders
all of its right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment Agreement and
each Seller's Agreement applicable to a Mortgage Loan. Insofar as the Assignment
Agreement or the Company's rights under such Seller's Agreement relate to the
representations and warranties made by Residential Funding or the related Seller
in respect of such Mortgage Loan and any remedies provided thereunder for any
breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and interest
may be enforced by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made in a Seller's Agreement that have been assigned to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.04 or of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made in the Assignment Agreement (which, for purposes hereof, will be
deemed to include any other cause giving rise to a repurchase obligation under
the Assignment Agreement) in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties (any Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the related Seller or Residential Funding,
as the case may be, of such breach and request that such Seller or Residential
Funding, as the case may be, either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such
breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the case of
a breach under the Assignment Agreement Residential Funding shall have the
option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such
Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing
Date; provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than
a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the
breach was discovered. In the event that Residential Funding elects to
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, Residential Funding shall deliver to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an
Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form if required pursuant to Section
2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01,
with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution
will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained
by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to Residential
Funding on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to the Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on
a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter Residential Funding shall
be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the
Schedule of Discount Fractions, for the benefit of the Certificateholders to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution
39
of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan
was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the amended Schedule of Discount Fractions, to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the related Subservicing
Agreement in all respects, the related Seller shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan contained in the related Seller's Agreement as of the date of substitution,
insofar as Residential Funding's rights in respect of such representations and
warranties are assigned to the Company pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, and
the Company and the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution,
the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, in
Section 2.03 hereof and in Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement, and the Master
Servicer shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which a Repurchase Event (as defined in the
Assignment Agreement) has occurred pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment
Agreement.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less
than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments
due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to the
Certificateholders in the month of substitution). Residential Funding shall
deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on the day of
substitution, without any reimbursement therefor. Residential Funding shall give
notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall
and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of any
REMIC to fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller or
Residential Funding, as the case may be, to cure such breach or purchase (or in
the case of Residential Funding to substitute for) such Mortgage Loan as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer is Residential Funding,
then the Trustee shall also have the right to give the notification and require
the purchase or substitution provided for in the second preceding paragraph in
the event of such a breach of a representation or warranty made by Residential
Funding in the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the purchase of or
substitution for any such Mortgage Loan by Residential Funding, the Trustee
shall assign to Residential Funding all of the Trustee's right, title and
interest in respect of the Seller's Agreement and the Assignment Agreement
applicable to such Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it may deem necessary
or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or
in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee
when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it
appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of
consent to assumption or modification in connection with a proposed conveyance,
or of assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in connection with the
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and all other comparable instruments, or with
respect to the modification or re-recording of a Mortgage for the purpose of
correcting the Mortgage, the subordination of the lien of the Mortgage in favor
of a public utility company or government agency or unit with powers of eminent
domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the commencement,
prosecution or completion of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, the
conveyance of a Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of
any property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the
management, marketing and conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer further is authorized and
empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or
the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best
judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the
removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any
of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments
with respect to such assignment or re- recording of a Mortgage in the name of
MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any
expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding
sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section
3.16(c), with no right of
41
reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming
unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes
necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and
to arrange for the assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any
related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, subject to Section 3.07(a), 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 and 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 in Full pursuant to
Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. The Trustee shall furnish the
Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by the Master
Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such powers of attorney. In servicing
and administering any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall,
to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, comply with the Program
Guide as if it were the originator of such Mortgage Loan and had retained the
servicing rights and obligations in respect thereof. In connection with
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals and
brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage
loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor in accordance
with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the
Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit
repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Subservicers in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject
to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so
permit, and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by Section
3.10(a)(ii).
(c) The Master Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in
connection with the offering of pass-through certificates evidencing interests
in one or more of the Certificates providing for the payment by the Master
Servicer of amounts received by the Master Servicer as servicing compensation
hereunder and required to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the
Mortgage Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter be an obligation of the
Master Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and
Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' and Sellers'
Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect Subservicing Agreements
entered into by Residential Funding and Subservicers prior to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and may enter into new Subservicing Agreements with
Subservicers, for the servicing and administration of all or some of the
Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive
and retain, as provided in the related Subservicing Agreement and in Section
3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on such
Mortgage Loan after payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Master
Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan. For any
42
Mortgage Loan that is a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to receive and retain an amount equal to the Subservicing Fee from
payments of interest. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing
the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such
terms and conditions as are generally required or permitted by the Program Guide
and are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the
Subservicer have agreed. A representative form of Subservicing Agreement is
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E. With the approval of the Master
Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party
servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related
Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into
amendments thereto or a different form of Subservicing Agreement, and the form
referred to or included in the Program Guide is merely provided for information
and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master
Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided,
however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with
and not violate the provisions of either this Agreement or the Program Guide in
a manner which would materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer,
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the
related Subservicing Agreement and of each Seller under the related Seller's
Agreement insofar as the Company's rights with respect to such obligation has
been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, to the extent that the non-performance
of any such Seller's obligation would have a material and adverse effect on a
Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the obligation to purchase a
Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation, as described in Section
2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described in
Section 2.04. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements or Seller's
Agreements, as appropriate, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer would employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal
and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The Master Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed. For purposes of clarification only, the parties agree that the
foregoing is not intended to, and does not, limit the ability of the Master
Servicer to be reimbursed for expenses that are incurred in connection with the
enforcement of a Seller's obligations (insofar as the Company's rights with
respect to such Seller's obligations have been assigned to the Trustee
hereunder) and are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(viii).
Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing
Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall
either
43
act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the
related Subservicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of
Residential Funding acts as servicer, it will not assume liability for the
representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces. If the
Master Servicer enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor
Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the
successor Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties
made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and,
in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master
Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated
Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Section 3.04 Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee
and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of
such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or
Seller for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and
Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer in
its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The foregoing
provision shall not in any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to cure an
omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as referred to in Section
2.02 hereof.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by
Trustee.
(a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master
servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee
or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may have been entered
into. 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 and to
have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to
the same extent as if the Subservicing
44
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to
Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such
collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith business judgment and
which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date
for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Program Guide;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall first determine that any such
waiver or extension will not impair the coverage of any related Primary
Insurance Policy or materially adversely affect the lien of the related
Mortgage. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make
timely advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in
accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed to
by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected thereby; provided,
however, that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that the
Master Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify
any Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any modification that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest
(unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or
except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is
not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), or extend the final
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or,
in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable;
and provided, further, that no such modification shall reduce the interest rate
on a Mortgage Loan below the sum of the Pool Strip Rate and the sum of the rates
at which the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee with respect to such
Mortgage Loan accrues. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the
Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may permit the Mortgage Loan to be
reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is recalculated as an amount that will
fully amortize the remaining Stated Principal Balance thereof by the original
Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate;
45
provided, that such re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would
constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal income tax purposes,
except if such reissuance is described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account
in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments
and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the
Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including
Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans
and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any
REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for
which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted
Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown Funds, if
any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of
any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for
which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (net of
any related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant
to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 and all amounts required to
be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.07(c) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to
the Custodial Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a);
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received
by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional Collateral;
and
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in
respect of Pledged Assets.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust
Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in
the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may
but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In
the event any amount not required
46
to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer
may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may contain funds
that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on
mortgage loans belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced
by it on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master
Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the
Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the
Mortgage Loans.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds
and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02,
2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master Servicer may
elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount for
the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If
the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been received
(and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day
of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the
institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds in the
Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments
which shall mature not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date next
following the date of such investment (with the exception of the Amount Held for
Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their
maturities. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for
the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and
shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments attributable to the
investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as
realized without any right of reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company
of any change in the location of the Custodial Account and the location of the
Certificate Account prior to the use thereof.
Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to establish and maintain
one or more Subservicing Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account or, if such
account is not an Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the requirements of
the Program Guide and be otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer and each
Rating Agency. The Subservicer will be required thereby to deposit into the
Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed advances and
expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If the
Subservicing Account is not an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have received such monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The
Subservicer shall not be required to deposit in the Subservicing Account
payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late charges or
assumption fees. On or before the date specified in the
47
Program Guide, but in no event later than the Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to
remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held
in the Subservicing Account with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Subservicer that are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The
Subservicer will also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to
advance on such scheduled date of remittance amounts equal to any scheduled
monthly installments of principal and interest less its Subservicing Fees on any
Mortgage Loans for which payment was not received by the Subservicer. This
obligation to advance with respect to each Mortgage Loan will continue up to and
including the first of the month following the date on which the related
Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Trust
Fund by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. All such advances received by
the Master Servicer shall be deposited promptly by it in the Custodial Account.
(b) The Subservicer may also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing
Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account
interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate plus the
rate per annum at which the Servicing Fee accrues in the case of a Modified
Mortgage Loan) on any Curtailment received by such Subservicer in respect of a
Mortgage Loan from the related Mortgagor during any month that is to be applied
by the Subservicer to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan as of the first day of such month, from the date of application of
such Curtailment to the first day of the following month. Any amounts paid by a
Subservicer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(iv) and (v).
(c) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account,
the Master Servicer shall for any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause
the Subservicers for Subserviced Mortgage Loans to, establish and maintain one
or more Servicing Accounts and deposit and retain therein all collections from
the Mortgagors (or advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if
applicable, or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each
Servicing Account shall satisfy the requirements for a Subservicing Account and,
to the extent permitted by the Program Guide or as is otherwise acceptable to
the Master Servicer, may also function as a Subservicing Account. Withdrawals of
amounts related to the Mortgage Loans from the Servicing Accounts may be made
only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums,
Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer or Subservicer out of related collections for any
payments made pursuant to Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance
Policy) and 3.12(a) (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any
Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if
required, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account or to clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.01 or in accordance with the Program Guide. As part of
its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall, and the Subservicers will,
pursuant to the Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in this account to the extent required by law.
(d) The Master Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the
preceding subsection that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by
the Subservicers on the date
48
when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due,
but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that
such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of
Certificates legal for investment by federally insured savings and loan
associations, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicers to
provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall permit such representatives to photocopy any
such documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge
reasonably approximating the cost of such photocopying to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.10 Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to
Section 3.07 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following
purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the
amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for
previously unreimbursed advances or expenses made pursuant to
Sections 3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04 or
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
such withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on
particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, REO
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds
from the purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03, 2.04 or 4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections of
Monthly Payments for which any such advance was made in the case
of Subservicer Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and
(B) recoveries of amounts in respect of which such advances were
made in the case of Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to itself or the related Subservicer (if not
previously retained by such Subservicer) out of each payment
received by the Master Servicer on account of interest on a
Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an
amount equal to that remaining portion of any such payment as to
interest (but not in excess of the Servicing Fee and the
Subservicing Fee, if not previously retained) which, when
deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such interest
being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage
Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount
specified in the amortization schedule of
49
the related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof at the
beginning of the period respecting which such interest was paid
after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation
any interest or investment income earned on funds and other
property deposited in or credited to the Custodial Account that
it is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation
any Foreclosure Profits, any amounts remitted by Subservicers as
interest in respect of Curtailments pursuant to Section 3.08(b),
and any amounts paid by a Mortgagor in connection with a
Principal Prepayment in Full in respect of interest for any
period during the calendar month in which such Principal
Prepayment in Full is to be distributed to the
Certificateholders;
(vi) to pay to itself, a Subservicer, a Seller,
Residential Funding, the Company or any other appropriate Person,
as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or
otherwise transferred pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 4.07
or 9.01, all amounts received thereon and not required to be
distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on which the
related Stated Principal Balance or Purchase Price is determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for
any Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances in the manner and to the
extent provided in subsection (c) below, any Advance made in
connection with a modification of a Mortgage Loan that is in
default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, default is
reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section 3.07(a), to the extent
the amount of the Advance has been added to the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or any Advance
reimbursable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses
incurred by and reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to
Sections 3.01(a), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise,
or in connection with enforcing, in accordance with this
Agreement, any repurchase, substitution or indemnification
obligation of any Seller (other than an Affiliate of the Company)
pursuant to the related Seller's Agreement;
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended
by it (a) pursuant to Section 3.14 in good faith in connection
with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause,
and (b) in connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or
disposition of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise
reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial
Account that was not required to be deposited therein pursuant to
Section 3.07.
50
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi), the Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the
related Subservicer for any advance made in respect of a Mortgage Loan that the
Master Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance by withdrawal from the
Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage
Loans on any Certificate Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such
determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a Nonrecoverable
Advance on any such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an
amount not exceeding the portion of such advance previously paid to
Certificateholders (and not theretofore reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the
related Subservicer).
Section 3.11 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies;
Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to
take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer
or Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is
available, the Master Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and
effect each such Primary Insurance Policy until the principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80% or less
of the Appraised Value in the case of such a Mortgage Loan having a
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, provided that such Primary
Insurance Policy was in place as of the Cut-off Date and the Company had
knowledge of such Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to cancel or permit the discontinuation of any Primary Insurance Policy
as to any Mortgage Loan, if the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan is
reduced below an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of the related
Mortgaged Property as determined in any appraisal thereof after the Closing
Date, or if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% as a result of
principal payments on the Mortgage Loan after the Closing Date. In the event
that the Company gains knowledge that as of the Closing Date, a Mortgage Loan
had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% and is not the subject
of a Primary Insurance Policy (and was not included in any exception to the
representation in Section 2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current
Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% then the Master Servicer shall use its
reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance Policy to the
extent that such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable price. The Master
Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy
applicable to a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer
canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a
Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable
to each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating
equal to or better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating
assigned to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency.
51
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present or to cause the
related Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the
Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related
Insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance
with such policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section
3.07, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master Servicer
under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12 Maintenance of Fire Insurance and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is equal to the lesser of the principal balance owing on such
Mortgage Loan or 100 percent of the insurable value of the improvements;
provided, however, that such coverage may not be less than the minimum amount
required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost basis.
To the extent it may do so without breaching the related Subservicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall replace any Subservicer that does not cause such
insurance, to the extent it is available, to be maintained. The Master Servicer
shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed
in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan),
fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to
the amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause
contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any
amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.10. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall
be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of related late payments by the
Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.10. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. Whenever the improvements securing a Mortgage
Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) are located at the time of origination of
such Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the
Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance (to the extent available) to be
maintained in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount required to compensate for any loss or damage to
the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount
of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program).
If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire
insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against hazard losses on all of
the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
52
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of
this Section 3.12(a), it being understood and agreed that such policy may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a) and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master
Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding
the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in which
payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial
Account. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and
keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket
fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the Master
Servicer's officers and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the
Master Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The
amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be
required by Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac, whichever is greater, with respect to the
Master Servicer if the Master Servicer were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. In the event that any such bond or
policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable
replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer, as the case may be,
meeting the requirements, if any, of the Program Guide and acceptable to the
Company. Coverage of the Master Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer and providing the coverage required by this
Section 3.12(b) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.12(b).
Section 3.13 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and
Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer or Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance,
shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but
only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Section 3.13(a) by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Master Servicer is restricted by law from
preventing; and
(ii) if the Master Servicer determines that it is
reasonably likely that any Mortgagor will bring, or if any
Mortgagor does bring, legal action to declare invalid or
otherwise avoid enforcement of a due-on-sale clause contained in
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to enforce the due-on-sale clause or to contest such
action.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person
53
by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption or modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage which requires the
signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee
is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer is authorized, subject to the requirements of the sentence next
following, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and
such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person;
provided, however, none of such terms and requirements shall either (i) both (A)
constitute a "significant modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of
such Mortgage Loan under the REMIC Provisions and (B) cause any portion of any
REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the
Code or (subject to Section 10.01(f)), result in the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or (ii) constitute "contributions" after the start-up
date under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver
such documents only if it reasonably determines that (i) its execution and
delivery thereof will not conflict with or violate any terms of this Agreement
or cause the unpaid balance and interest on the Mortgage Loan to be
uncollectible in whole or in part, (ii) any required consents of insurers under
any Required Insurance Policies have been obtained and (iii) subsequent to the
closing of the transaction involving the assumption or transfer (A) the Mortgage
Loan will continue to be secured by a first mortgage lien pursuant to the terms
of the Mortgage, (B) such transaction will not adversely affect the coverage
under any Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully amortize
over the remaining term thereof, (D) no material term of the Mortgage Loan
(including the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan) will be altered nor will the
term of the Mortgage Loan be changed and (E) if the seller/transferor of the
Mortgaged Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage Loan, such
release will not (based on the Master Servicer's or Subservicer's good faith
determination) adversely affect the collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Upon
receipt of appropriate instructions from the Master Servicer in accordance with
the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such
assumption or substitution of liability as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents,
the Master Servicer shall cause the originals or true and correct copies of the
assumption agreement, the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master
Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(c) The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be,
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, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Apartment)
without any right of reimbursement 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 collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be
adversely affected thereby and that any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the
Code as a
54
result thereof and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) that no tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be imposed on any
such REMIC as a result thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the
related Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Master
Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Trustee and Master Servicer shall be entitled to approve an
assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided
the obligee with respect to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed
assignment provides the Trustee and Master Servicer with a "Lender Certification
for Assignment of Mortgage Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Master Servicer, providing
the following: (i) that the substance of the assignment is, and is intended to
be, a refinancing of such Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage Loan following the
proposed assignment will have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or
above the rate of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed
assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at the request of the borrower
under the related Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of
satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of and accrued
interest on such Mortgage Loan and the Master Servicer shall treat such amount
as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such Mortgage Loan for all
purposes hereof.
Section 3.14 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11, follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as shall be
required or permitted by the Program Guide; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in
connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion in a manner that is
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, however,
shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur other reimbursable
charges in connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is
not completed, or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall
determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of Certificates of one
or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or charges and
(ii) that such expenses or charges will be recoverable to it through Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.10, whether or not such expenses and charges are actually recoverable
from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the
event of such a determination by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.14(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts
pursuant to Section 3.10.
In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall use its best
reasonable efforts to realize upon any Additional Collateral for such of the
Additional Collateral Loans as come into and continue
55
in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such
Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or
otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed
with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would impair the
ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master
Servicer shall proceed with any REO Acquisition in a manner that preserves the
ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional Collateral against amounts owed
under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such Additional
Collateral (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related
guarantor in accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any
security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing
the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional Collateral) shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.10. Any other payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of such
Additional Collateral shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
For so long as the Master Servicer is the Master Servicer under the
Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the Master Servicer shall perform its
obligations under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement in accordance with such
Agreement and in a manner that is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. Further, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to realize upon any Pledged Assets for such of the Pledged Asset Loans
as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the
Trustee, obtain title to any such Pledged Assets as a result of or in lieu of
the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master
Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Pledged Assets in any manner
that would impair the ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property,
and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any REO Acquisition in a manner
that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Pledged Assets against
amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such
Pledged Assets (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the
related guarantor in accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would
follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and
conditions of any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other
agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Pledged Assets)
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.10. Any other payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of
such Pledged Assets shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Concurrently with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may pursue any
remedies that may be available in connection with a breach of a representation
and warranty with respect to any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Sections
2.03 and 2.04. However, the Master Servicer is not required to continue to
pursue both foreclosure (or similar remedies) with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and remedies in connection with a breach of a representation and warranty if the
Master Servicer determines in its reasonable discretion that one such remedy is
more likely to result in a greater recovery as to the Mortgage Loan. Upon the
occurrence of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, following the deposit in
the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
56
Proceeds and other payments and recoveries referred to in the definition of
"Cash Liquidation" or "REO Disposition," as applicable, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the Master
Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer
or its designee, as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter
such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the Master Servicer's
sole discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as
to either of the following provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition
may be deemed to have occurred if substantially all amounts expected by the
Master Servicer to be received in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property have been received, and (ii) for purposes of determining
the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any
other unscheduled collections or the amount of any Realized Loss, the Master
Servicer may take into account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected
to be received or any estimated additional liquidation expenses expected to be
incurred in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as
an REO Property by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf
of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and
cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO Property shall (except as
otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage
Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the REO Property shall be sold.
Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long
as such REO Property shall be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it
shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the
related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and the
related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of
title (after giving effect to any previous Curtailments and before any
adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any
moratorium or similar waiver or grace period) remain in effect.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund shall dispose of such REO
Property within three full years after the taxable year of its acquisition by
the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such shorter
period as may be necessary under applicable state (including any state in which
such property is located) law to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC
formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under applicable state law and
avoid taxes resulting from such property failing to be foreclosure property
under applicable state law) or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request, more
than 60 days before the day on which such grace period would otherwise expire,
an extension of such grace period unless the Master Servicer (subject to Section
10.01(f)) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to
qualify as a REMIC (for federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax
purposes) at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case
57
the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions
contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs incurred in obtaining
such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be
rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf
of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the
imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO
Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860G(c) of the Code,
unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or
repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as well
as any recovery resulting from a collection of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance
with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to the Certificateholders to the extent of
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, and any related REO Imputed
Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the
case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date
on which such amounts are to be distributed; third, to the Certificateholders as
a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or REO Property)(provided that, if
such recovery is of an amount previously allocated to one or more Classes of
Certificates as a Realized Loss, such recovery shall be allocated among such
Classes in the same proportions as the allocation of such Realized Losses and,
if any such Class of Certificates to which such Realized Loss was allocated is
no longer outstanding, such subsequent recovery shall be distributed to the
persons who were the Holders of such Class of Certificates when it was retired);
fourth, to all Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees payable therefrom (and the
Master Servicer and the Subservicer shall have no claims for any deficiencies
with respect to such fees which result from the foregoing allocation); and
fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligors is not a United States Person, in connection with any foreclosure or
acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with
the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor
thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with
respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that
proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full
will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer
will immediately notify the Trustee (if it holds the related Mortgage File) or
the Custodian by a certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.07
58
have been or will be so deposited), substantially in one of the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in
a form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting delivery to it of the Mortgage
File. Within two Business Days of receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee shall release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is authorized to execute and
deliver to the Mortgagor the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or
release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the
Mortgage, together with the Mortgage Note with, as appropriate, written evidence
of cancellation thereon and to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS(R) System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, with a
copy to the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in one
of the forms attached as Exhibit F hereto, or, in the case of the Custodian, an
electronic request in a form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting that
possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the Mortgage File be
released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release
and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in
respect of the Mortgage Loan under any Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt
of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver, or cause the Custodian to deliver,
the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to
be returned to the Trustee, or the Custodian as agent for the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage
Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or
such document has been delivered directly or through a Subservicer to an
attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Subservicer to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the liquidation of
a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall deliver the Request for Release with respect
thereto to the Master Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation Proceeds
in the Custodial Account.
(c) The Trustee or the Master Servicer on the Trustee's behalf shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer, if necessary, any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity. Together with such documents or pleadings (if signed by the Trustee),
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing
Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and
that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any
insurance coverage under any
59
Required Insurance Policy or invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the
Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the
foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.16 Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder,
shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the amounts provided for
by clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 3.10(a), subject to clause (e)
below. The amount of servicing compensation provided for in such clauses shall
be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In the event that
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds (net of amounts
reimbursable therefrom pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii)) in respect of a Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition exceed the unpaid principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan plus unpaid interest accrued thereon (including REO Imputed
Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate (or the
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan), the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain therefrom and to pay to itself and/or the
related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and any Servicing Fee or
Subservicing Fee considered to be accrued but unpaid.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges,
assumption fees, late payment charges, investment income on amounts in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or otherwise shall be retained by
the Master Servicer or the Subservicer to the extent provided herein, subject to
clause (e) below.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid,
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including payment of premiums for the Primary Insurance Policies, if
any, to the extent such premiums are not required to be paid by the related
Mortgagors, and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any Custodian) and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
in Sections 3.10 and 3.14.
(d) The Master Servicer's right to receive servicing compensation may
not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all of its responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of servicing
compensation that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive for its
activities hereunder for the period ending on each Distribution Date shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to Compensating Interest (if
any) for such Distribution Date. Such reduction shall be applied during such
period as follows: first, to any Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee to which the
Master Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(iii); second, to any
income or gain realized from any investment of funds held in the Custodial
Account or the Certificate Account to which the Master Servicer is entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) or 4.01(b), respectively; and third, to any amounts
of servicing compensation to which the Master Servicer is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.10(a)(vi). In making such reduction, the Master Servicer (i) will not
withdraw from the Custodial Account any such amount representing all or a
portion of the Servicing Fee to which it is entitled pursuant to Section
3.10(a)(iii); (ii) will not withdraw from the Custodial Account or Certificate
Account any such amount to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or
4.01(b) and (iii) will not withdraw from
60
the Custodial Account any such amount of servicing compensation to which it is
entitled pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(vi).
Section 3.17 Reports to the Trustee and the Company.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Company a statement, certified by
a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the
close of business on such Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans
and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits
in or withdrawals from the Custodial Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans
for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.07 and each category of
withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Company, the Trustee and any
Certificate Insurer on or before March 31 of each year, beginning with the first
March 31 that occurs at least six months after the Cut-off Date, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year related to
its servicing of mortgage loans and its performance under pooling and servicing
agreements, including this Agreement, has been made under such officers'
supervision, (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review,
the Master Servicer has complied in all material respects with the minimum
servicing standards set forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers and has fulfilled all of its material obligations relating to
this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has
been material noncompliance with such servicing standards or a default in the
fulfillment in all material respects of any such obligation relating to this
Agreement, such statement shall include a description of such noncompliance or
specify each such default, as the case may be, known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof and (iii) to the best of such officers' knowledge,
each Subservicer has complied in all material respects with the minimum
servicing standards set forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers and has fulfilled all of its material obligations under its
Subservicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if
there has been material noncompliance with such servicing standards or a
material default in the fulfillment of such obligations relating to this
Agreement, such statement shall include a description of such noncompliance or
specify each such default, as the case may be, known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof.
Section 3.19 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before March 31 of each year, beginning with the first March 31
that occurs at least six months after the Cut-off Date, the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants, which shall be
members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish a
report to the Company and the Trustee stating its opinion that, on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm substantially in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the
assertions made pursuant to Section 3.18 regarding compliance with the minimum
servicing standards set forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers during the preceding calendar year are fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that, in
the opinion of
61
such firm, such accounting standards require it to report. In rendering such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted by independent public accountants substantially in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(rendered within one year of such statement) with respect to such Subservicers.
Section 3.20 Rights of the Company in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Company, upon reasonable notice,
during normal business hours access to all records maintained by the Master
Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request,
the Master Servicer shall furnish the Company with its most recent financial
statements and such other information as the Master Servicer possesses regarding
its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise. The
Master Servicer shall also cooperate with all reasonable requests for
information including, but not limited to, notices, tapes and copies of files,
regarding itself, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates from any Person or
Persons identified by the Company or Residential Funding. The Company may, but
is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder
and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any
defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by
the Company or its designee. The Company shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.21 Administration of Buydown Funds.
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has
deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the requirements for a
Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall cause
the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the Mortgagor of
the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer
will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added
to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly
Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the terms of the
Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the related payment
made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its
entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are
required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall be
required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds
remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown
agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with
the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the
Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a
Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period
and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation
thereof (either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary
Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the
Buydown Account
62
the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown
Account and remit the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms
of the Subservicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if
instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary
Insurance Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and
such insurer pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any
amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce
the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
ARTICLE IV

(i) any investment in the institution with which the Certificate Account is

any other investment may mature or be payable on demand on such Distribution
Date if the Trustee shall advance funds on such Distribution Date to the
Certificate Account in the amount payable on such investment on such
Distribution Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make
distributions on the Certificates) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
maturity. Subject to Section 3.16(e), all income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject
to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred
in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account

Section 4.03 Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Concurrently with each distribution charged to the Certificate
Account and with respect to each Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee and the Trustee shall either forward by mail or make
available to each Holder and the Company, via the Trustee's internet website, a
statement (and at its option, any additional files containing the same
information in an alternative format) setting forth information as to each Class
of Certificates, the Mortgage Pool and, if the Mortgage Pool is comprised of two
or more Loan Groups, each Loan Group, to the extent applicable. This statement
will include the information set forth in an exhibit to the Series Supplement.
Such exhibit shall set forth the Trustee's internet website address together
with a phone number. The Trustee shall mail to each Holder that requests a paper
copy by telephone a paper copy via first class mail. The Trustee may modify the
distribution procedures set forth in this Section provided that such procedures
are no less convenient for the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall provide
prior notification to the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Certificateholders regarding any such modification. In addition, the Master
Servicer shall provide to any manager of a trust fund consisting of some or all
of the Certificates, upon reasonable request, such additional information as is
reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer at no additional expense to the
Master Servicer.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall
forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate,
a statement containing the information set forth in subsection (a) above
aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Master Servicer
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to any
requirements of the Code.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall
forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Class R Certificate, a statement containing
the applicable distribution information provided pursuant to this Section 4.03
aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was the Holder of a Class R Certificate. Such obligation of the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer, as soon as reasonably practicable, shall provide the requesting
Certificateholder with such information as is necessary and appropriate, in the
Master Servicer's sole discretion, for purposes of satisfying applicable
reporting requirements under Rule 144A.
64
Section 4.04 Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the
Company; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer, any Paying Agent and the Company (the information in such statement to
be made available to Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on request)
setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the amounts
required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the
Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit
Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01(a). The determination by the
Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be
presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee
shall be protected in relying upon the same without any independent check or
verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account
Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate
Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the Subservicers, an
amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the
related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof
adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related Servicing
Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest
collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act of 1940, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then in
effect, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the related
Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial
Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion of the Amount
Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make
advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount
of such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution so used
shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account
on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit
Date to the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are
available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on
such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution Date. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to use any Advance made by a Subservicer as
described in Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on
or before such Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant
to Section 4.02(a) in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date
shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous
Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to
Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such
allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master
Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.10.
The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the
Master Servicer delivered to the Company and the Trustee.
65
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the Trustee of
its inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than
3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the portion of such
amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York
time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00
Noon, New York time, on such day the Trustee shall have been notified in writing
(by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly
deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the Advance
as to which the Master Servicer shall have given notice pursuant to the
preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the Advance for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section
4.04 into the Certificate Account.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.
As provided in Section 4.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 4.06 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Property.
The Master Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information 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.
Section 4.07 Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
As to any Mortgage Loan which is delinquent in payment by 90 days or
more, the Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trustee at the Purchase Price therefor. If at any time the Master Servicer
makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the amount of the Purchase
Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer provides to the Trustee
a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such
payment has been deposited in the Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall
execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the Master
Servicer without recourse to the Master Servicer, which shall succeed to all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all
security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The Master Servicer will thereupon own such
Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to
the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
66
If, however the Master Servicer shall have exercised its right to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 4.07 upon the written
request of and with funds provided by the Junior Certificateholder and thereupon
transferred such Mortgage Loan to the Junior Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer shall so notify the Trustee in writing.
Section 4.08 Surety Bond.
(a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant to the Surety Bond
with respect to any Additional Collateral Loan, the Master Servicer shall so
notify the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and the Trustee shall
promptly complete the notice in the form of Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond and
shall promptly submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for a Required
Surety. The Master Servicer shall upon request assist the Trustee in completing
such notice and shall provide any information requested by the Trustee in
connection therewith.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf
of the Holders of Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Required Surety
Payment in the Certificate Account and shall distribute such Required Surety
Payment, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.02.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of
a Certificate any Required Surety Payment from the Surety and (ii) disburse the
same to the Holders of such Certificates as set forth in Section 4.02.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Senior, Class M, Class B and Class R Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A, B, C and D, respectively,
and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the
Certificate Registrar for authentication and delivery to or upon the order of
the Company upon receipt by the Trustee or one or more Custodians of the
documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be issuable in the
minimum denominations designated in the Preliminary Statement to the Series
Supplement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of an authorized officer of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers
of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such
67
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates
may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees
to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership
Interests therein. The Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates shall hold their
respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not
be entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall transfer the Ownership
Interests only in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes
(including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective
Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants
and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and
directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of
Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be
deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate
Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give
notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository
is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii)
the Company at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from
the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee,
including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Company in connection with
the issuance of the Definitive Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall
be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, and the Trustee and
the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates
as Certificateholders hereunder.
68
(c) From time to time Residential Funding, as the initial Holder of the
Class A-V Certificates, may exchange such Holder's Class A-V Certificates for
Subclasses of Class A-V Certificates to be issued under this Agreement by
delivering a "Request for Exchange" substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit N executed by an authorized officer, which Subclasses, in the aggregate,
will represent the Uncertificated Class A-V REMIC Regular Interests
corresponding to the Class A-V Certificates so surrendered for exchange. Any
Subclass so issued shall bear a numerical designation commencing with Class
A-V-1 and continuing sequentially thereafter, and will evidence ownership of the
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest or Interests specified in writing by such
initial Holder to the Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively, without any
independent verification, rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
Residential Funding's determinations of the Uncertificated Class A-V REMIC
Regular Interests corresponding to any Subclass, the Initial Notional Amount and
the initial Pass-Through Rate on a Subclass as set forth in such Request for
Exchange and the Trustee shall have no duty to determine if any Uncertificated
Class A-V REMIC Regular Interest designated on a Request for Exchange
corresponds to a Subclass which has previously been issued. Each Subclass so
issued shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A and shall, on
original issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate
Registrar for authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 5.01(a).
Every Certificate presented or surrendered for exchange by the initial Holder
shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer attached to
such Certificate and shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the initial Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. The Certificates of any Subclass of Class
A-V Certificates may be transferred in whole, but not in part, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.02.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies
to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12
a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee
is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The
Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee, shall provide the Master Servicer with a
certified list of Certificateholders as of each Record Date prior to the related
Determination Date.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 8.12 and, in the case of any Class M, Class B or Class R Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee shall execute
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like
Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class (or
Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates
to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate
69
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates of such Class which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class B
Certificate is to be made either (i)(A) the Trustee shall require a written
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption,
describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and
laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer
(except that, if such transfer is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or
any Affiliate thereof, the Company or the Master Servicer shall provide such
Opinion of Counsel at their own expense); provided that such Opinion of Counsel
will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to
execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto,
and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, each acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee certifying to the
Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which
representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or
the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters will
not be required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the
Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation
(which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from
the Company, of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or
(ii) the prospective transferee of such a Certificate shall be required to
provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with an investment
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or such other
form as the Company in its sole discretion deems acceptable), which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master
Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee (A) 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 (B) is aware that the proposed
transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of any
such Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may
result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is
not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(e) (i) In the case of any Class B or Class R Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, either (A) the Trustee shall require an
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or
holding of such Class B or Class R Certificate is permissible under applicable
70
law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), and will not subject the Trustee, the Company or the
Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or
liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer or (B) the prospective
Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master
Servicer with a certification to the effect set forth in paragraph six of
Exhibit H (with respect to any Class B Certificate) or paragraph fourteen of
Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class R Certificate), which the Trustee may
rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications
as the Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such
Transferee or the Person in whose name such registration is requested either (a)
is not an employee benefit plan 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) who is using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition
(each, a "Plan Investor") or (b) in the case of any Class B Certificate, the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company,
(ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest
therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (b), a "Complying Insurance
Company").
(ii) Any Transferee of a Class M Certificate will be
deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding
of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such
Transferee is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has acquired and is
holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction
Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, 59 Fed. Reg. 14674 (March 29, 1994), as
amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), and PTE
2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) (the "RFC
Exemption"), and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including
that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not
lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch
or Xxxxx'x or (c) such Transferee is a Complying Insurance
Company.
(iii) (A) If any Class M Certificate (or any interest
therein) is acquired or held by any Person that does not satisfy
the conditions described in paragraph (ii) above, then the last
preceding Transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii)
acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption,
or (iii) is a Complying Insurance Company shall be restored, to
the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such
Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be under
no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such
Certificate to such preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose
acquisition or holding of any Class M Certificate (or
interest therein) was effected in violation of the
71
restrictions in this Section 5.02(e) shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, any Subservicer, and the Trust Fund from and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition
or holding.
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted
Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee
shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the

Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1)
from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and
warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of
the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so
long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of
this Section 5.02(f) and agrees to be bound by them, and
(II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R
Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Master Servicer, representing and warranting, among other
things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to
impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under
clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge
that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to
require a Transfer Affidavit and

Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person
attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest
unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an
Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate,
if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest
holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such
transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 and all of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by
the Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the
Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of
the Code) are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a
holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted
by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a
holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United
States 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 such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is
disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted
by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(f)
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 Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 5.02(f) and to the extent
that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the
Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause
(iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
then the Master Servicer shall have the right, without
notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R
Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a
purchaser selected by the Master Servicer on such terms as
the Master Servicer may choose. Such purported Transferee
shall promptly
73
endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Master Servicer. Such
purchaser may be the Master Servicer itself or any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer. The proceeds of such
sale, net of the commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Master Servicer or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer, 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 Class R Certificate
to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the
information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Class R
Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue
Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result
of any regulated investment company, real estate investment
trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such
information may be required by the Master Servicer from such
Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior
to this clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated,
provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the
following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency 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, if any, of
any Class of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates
below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating
assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by
such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers'
Certificate of the Master Servicer stating that the Master
Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, to the
effect that such modification, addition to or absence of
such provisions will not cause any portion of any REMIC
formed under the Series Supplement to cease to qualify as
a REMIC and will not cause (x) any portion of any REMIC
formed under the Series Supplement to be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R
Certificate to a Person that is a Disqualified
Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person
to be
74
subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a
Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
(ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, any Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar 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 4.02
and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to the extent provided in
the definition of "Certificateholder," and neither the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor
any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary
except as provided in Section 5.02(f).
Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02. In the event
of any such appointment, on or prior to each Distribution Date the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited with
the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the Certificateholders
in the
75
amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee
that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. Any sums so
held by such Paying Agent shall be held only in Eligible Accounts to the extent
such sums are not distributed to the Certificateholders on the date of receipt
by such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06 Optional Purchase of Certificates.
(a) On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance,
prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is
less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans, either the Master Servicer or the Company shall have the right, at its
option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal
to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the
sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual
Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest.
(b) The Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall give the
Trustee not less than 60 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date on which
the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, anticipates that it will
purchase the Certificates pursuant to Section 5.06(a). Notice of any such
purchase, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender
their Certificates to the Trustee for payment in accordance with this Section
5.06, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer or the Company, as
applicable, by letter to Certificateholders (with a copy to the Certificate
Registrar and each Rating Agency) mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution, specifying:
(i) the Distribution Date upon which purchase of the
Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and
surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the purchase price therefor, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office
or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If either the Master Servicer or the Company gives the notice specified
above, the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall deposit in the
Certificate Account before the Distribution Date on which the purchase pursuant
to Section 5.06(a) is to be made, in immediately available funds, an amount
equal to the purchase price for the Certificates computed as provided above.
76
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates to be purchased
pursuant to Section 5.06(a) by the Holders thereof, the Trustee shall distribute
to such Holders an amount equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
thereof plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related
Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest
with respect thereto.
(d) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or
before the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 5.06
is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate
Account deposited therein by the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 5.06(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a
separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the
Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall give a second written
notice to such Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for payment of
the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second notice any
Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall
take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer or the Company, as
applicable, to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of
their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and
of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in
the escrow account. If within nine months after the second notice any
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation in accordance with
this Section 5.06, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer or the Company,
as applicable, all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Master
Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall thereafter hold such amounts until
distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master
Servicer or the Company, as applicable, as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this
Section 5.06. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date
on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 5.06 occurs as provided above will
be deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no
rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus
any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and notices allocated
thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to have been purchased on such
Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder. The Master Servicer or the
Company, as applicable, shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such
date.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Company and the Master Servicer.
The Company and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein. By
way of illustration and not limitation, the Company is not liable for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by
Section 7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any obligations of the Master Servicer
or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any
other obligation hereunder that it may, but is not obligated to, assume unless
it elects to assume such obligation in accordance herewith.
77
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Master
Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties by
Master Servicer.
(a) The Company and the Master Servicer will each keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
state of its incorporation, and will each obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac; and provided further that each Rating Agency's
ratings, if any, of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced
or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
each Rating Agency).
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04
to the contrary, the Master Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its
duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person accepting
such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac, is reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service the Mortgage
Loans and executes and delivers to the Company and the Trustee an agreement, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the
Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency's
rating of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, reduced or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced by a
letter to such effect from each Rating Agency). In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain
liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Master Servicer
hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and
delegation set forth in the next preceding sentence.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer
and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or any such Person
against any breach of warranties
78
or representations made herein or 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 obligations and
duties 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 prima facie 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 Fund and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as
any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to
this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action,
proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective
duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or
examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Company and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out
of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial
Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the Distribution Date(s) following
such reimbursement, the aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated
in reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto
in the same manner as if such expenses and costs constituted a Prepayment
Interest Shortfall.
Section 6.04 Company and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the
Master Servicer shall resign from its respective 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 the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations in accordance with Section 7.02.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events (whatever reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(i) the Master Servicer shall fail to distribute or cause
to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of any Class any
distribution required to be made under the terms of the
Certificates of such Class and this Agreement and, in either
case, such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 5
days after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring such failure to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company or to the
Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25%; or

on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates
of any Class or in this Agreement and such failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of 30 days (except that such number of
days shall be 15 in the case of a failure to pay the premium for
any Required Insurance Policy) 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 the
Company, or to the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, in the
case of any such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an
involuntary case under any present or future federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any 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 conservator or receiver or liquidator in any 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 the property of
the Master Servicer; 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, or commence a
80
voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.04(b) that it is unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, either the Company or the Trustee may, and
at the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer
(and to the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the
Company), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default
described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the
Master Servicer and the Company, immediately terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder as provided in Section 4.04(b). On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall subject to Section 7.02 pass to and be vested in the Trustee or
the Trustee's designee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02; and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement 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 or its designee for administration by it of all cash
amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. No such termination shall release the Master Servicer for any liability
that it would otherwise have hereunder for any act or omission prior to the
effective time of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Residential Funding
in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder, Residential Funding shall be
entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Monthly Payment on a
Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating Residential
Funding's rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after
such notice, that portion to which Residential Funding would have been entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(ii), (vi) and (vii) as well as its Servicing Fee in
respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to Residential Funding hereunder
the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities
hereunder. Upon the termination of Residential Funding as Master Servicer
hereunder the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Program Guide.
81
Section 7.02 Trustee or Company to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns in accordance with Section 6.04,
the Trustee or, upon notice to the Company and with the Company's consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld) a designee (which meets the standards set
forth below) of the Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in
Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a), excluding the duty to notify related Subservicers or
Sellers as set forth in such Sections, and its obligations to deposit amounts in
respect of losses incurred prior to such notice or termination on the investment
of funds in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account pursuant to
Sections 3.07(c) and 4.01(b) by the terms and provisions hereof); provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the preceding Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by
Section 4.04 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to
the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge
to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder and, in addition, shall be entitled to the income
from any Permitted Investments made with amounts attributable to the Mortgage
Loans held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account. If the Trustee
has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04
or Section 7.01, then 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, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Freddie Mac-approved
mortgage servicing 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 appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Trustee shall become successor to the Master Servicer and shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the initial Master Servicer hereunder. The Company, the Trustee, the
Custodian and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The
Servicing Fee for any successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to this
Section 7.02 will be lowered with respect to those Mortgage Loans, if any, where
the Subservicing Fee accrues at a rate of less than 0.20% per annum in the event
that the successor Master Servicer is not servicing such Mortgage Loans directly
and it is necessary to raise the related Subservicing Fee to a rate of 0.20% per
annum in order to hire a Subservicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, 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 Mortgage Loans that are registered with
MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its
82
records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as
necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to
execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System to the successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall
file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording
office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS,
costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any
assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (b). The
successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the
Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of
recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which
such assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) 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.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by a
default or Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Event of
Default; provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause
(i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of Certificates
affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver pursuant to this
Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in
Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of
Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights
affected by such default or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default
shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has
83
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 their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of any such documents which do not materially conform to the
requirements of this Agreement in the event that the Trustee, after so
requesting, does not receive satisfactorily corrected documents.
The Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely fashion
the notices, reports and statements required to be forwarded by the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee shall furnish in a
timely fashion to the Master Servicer such information as the Master Servicer
may reasonably request from time to time for the Master Servicer to fulfill its
duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and agrees that it
shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status
of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition
of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or
other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and
avoiding such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are
reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which
may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee by the Company
or the Master Servicer and which on their face, do not contradict
the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
84
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which
evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any default (other than a default in payment to the Trustee)
specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 or an Event of
Default under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7.01 unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in
the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such
failure or event or the Trustee receives written notice of such
failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master
Servicer, the Company or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no
provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds (including, without limitation, the making
of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any
and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Trust Fund or its assets
or transactions including, without limitation, (A) "prohibited transaction"
penalty taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, if, when and as the same
shall be due and payable, (B) any tax on contributions to a REMIC after the
Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code and (C) any tax on "net
income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, but
only if such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its obligations
hereunder, which breach constitutes negligence or willful misconduct of the
Trustee.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken
85
or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing
contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has
not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default
which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make
any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer,
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and
otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
or through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a Class R
Certificate hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any
Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The
Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and deliver to the
Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax Returns prepared by or
on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is required to
sign as determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to applicable
federal, state or local tax laws, provided that the Master
Servicer shall
86
indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax Returns that
contain errors or omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not
accept any contribution of assets to the Trust Fund unless (subject to Section
10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such contribution will not (i) cause any portion of any REMIC
formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to be subject
to any federal tax as a result of such contribution (including the imposition of
any federal tax on "prohibited transactions" imposed under Section 860F(a) of
the Code).
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
execution of the Certificates and relating to the acceptance and receipt of the
Mortgage Loans) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Master
Servicer as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that the
Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by it as
Certificate Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS
or the MERS(R) System. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the Master
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Company or the Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account by the Company or the Master
Servicer.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.
Section 8.05 Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses;
Indemnification.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and
any co-trustee from time to time, and the Trustee and any co-trustee shall be
entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by each of them in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee and any co-trustee, and the Master Servicer will pay or
reimburse the Trustee and any co-trustee upon request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or any
co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the
Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or
agency pursuant to Section 8.12) except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
87
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold
the Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee's part, arising out of, or in
connection with, the acceptance and administration of the Trust Fund, including
the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
defending itself against any claim in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and the
Custodial Agreement, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have
given the Master Servicer written notice thereof promptly after
the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the
Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Master
Servicer in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for settlement
of any claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior
consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations created by
this Section 8.05(b) of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Trustee under the
conditions and to the extent set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the
Master Servicer in this Section 8.05(b) shall not pertain to any loss, liability
or expense of the Trustee, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim, incurred in connection with any actions taken by the Trustee
at the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national
banking association having its principal office in a state and city acceptable
to the Company and organized and doing business under the laws of such state or
the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the
88
Company 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 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.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Company may
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee. In addition, in the event that
the Company determines that the Trustee has failed (i) to distribute or cause to
be distributed to the Certificateholders any amount required to be distributed
hereunder, if such amount is held by the Trustee or its Paying Agent (other than
the Master Servicer or the Company) for distribution or (ii) to otherwise
observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or
obligations hereunder, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period
of 5 days (in respect of clause (i) above) or 30 days (in respect of clause (ii)
above) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring that
the same be remedied, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, then
the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument delivered as provided in the preceding sentence. In connection with
the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Company shall, on or before the date on which any such appointment becomes
effective, obtain from each Rating Agency written confirmation that the
appointment of any such successor trustee will not result in the reduction of
the ratings on any class of the Certificates below the lesser of the then
current or original ratings on such Certificates.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the 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 Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company 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 shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as
89
trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee
all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder
(other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which shall
become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Company, 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.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation or national banking association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall mail notice of any such merger or
consolidation to the Certificateholders at their address as shown in the
Certificate Register.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. 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 alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
90
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee, and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer and the
Company, appoint one or more Custodians who are not Affiliates of the Company,
the Master Servicer or any Seller to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files
as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to
Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial
Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each
Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. The
Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of the appointment of any Custodian
(other than the Custodian appointed as of the Closing Date) pursuant to this
Section 8.11.
Section 8.12 Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain an office or agency in the City of New York at
the address designated in Section 11.05 of the Series Supplement where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee will maintain an office at the address stated in
91
Section 11.05 of the Series Supplement where notices and demands to or upon the
Trustee in respect of this Agreement may be served.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or
the Company or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee
to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders
and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee
on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier
of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation
(or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Company of
all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if
less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of
the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with
respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if
such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance
(net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on
the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net
Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any
Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first day of
the month in which such repurchase price is distributed,
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created
hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase
price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as
determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of
any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a
REMIC.
The right of the Master Servicer or the Company to purchase all the
assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the
Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than
ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If such
right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have been reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances
theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage
92
Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall
provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the
Trustee and any Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase
price, release to the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, the
Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
(b) The Master Servicer or, in the case of a final distribution as a
result of the exercise by the Company of its right to purchase the assets of the
Trust Fund, the Company shall give the Trustee not less than 60 days' prior
notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer or the Company, as
applicable, anticipates that the final distribution will be made to
Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer
or the Company of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or
otherwise). Notice of any termination, specifying the anticipated Final
Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution
Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer or
the Company, as applicable (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets
of the Trust Fund), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the
25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution
specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which
final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case of the
Senior Certificates and Class M Certificates, that payment will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, is obligated to
give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In
the event such notice is given by the Master Servicer or the Company, the Master
Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall deposit in the Certificate Account
before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund computed as above
provided.
(c) In the case of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates, upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders
thereof, the Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the
Master Servicer's or the Company's election to repurchase, or (ii) if the Master
Servicer or the Company elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as
follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related
Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate
Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with
respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for
distribution (including the repurchase
93
price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the total
amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A).
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if so
required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in
the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer or the Company, as
applicable (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund),
or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the
remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months
after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master
Servicer or the Company, as applicable, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and
expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders
shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within
nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer or
the Company, as applicable, all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and
the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, shall thereafter hold such
amounts until distributed to such holders. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by
the Master Servicer or the Company, as applicable, as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Section 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each REMIC that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion
of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee) to
the effect that the failure of each such REMIC to comply with the requirements
of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust of taxes
on "prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii)
cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day
liquidation period for each such REMIC and specify the first day
of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund's final
Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The
Master Servicer also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a
qualified liquidation for a REMIC under Section 860F of the Code
and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the
commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior
to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates,
the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the
remaining assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms
hereof; and
94
(iii) If the Master Servicer or the Company is exercising
its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master
Servicer shall, during the 90-day liquidation period and at or
prior to the Final Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets
of the Trust Fund for cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably
approves and appoints the Master Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a
plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC at the expense of the Trust Fund in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.03 Termination of Multiple REMICs.
If the REMIC Administrator makes two or more separate REMIC elections,
the applicable REMIC shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final
Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed
distributions on the related Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the last
distribution due on the Certificates is made.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust
Fund as one or more REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable
state law. The assets of each such REMIC will be set forth in the Series
Supplement. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of each REMIC election in respect of
the Trust Fund, Certificates and interests to be designated as the "regular
interests" and the sole class of "residual interests" in the REMIC will be set
forth in Section 10.03 of the Series Supplement. The REMIC Administrator and the
Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC elected in respect of the Trust Fund
other than the "regular interests" and "residual interests" so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the
Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall hold a Class R Certificate
representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest each Class of the Class R Certificates
and shall be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and
Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, as tax
matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund
in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses,
including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and costs of any
such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the
Trust Fund and
95
the REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of
amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account
as provided by Section 3.10 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by
reason of the REMIC Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence. If the REMIC Administrator is no longer the Master Servicer
hereunder, at its option the REMIC Administrator may continue its duties as
REMIC Administrator and shall be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed
$3,000 per year by any successor Master Servicer hereunder for so acting as the
REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of
the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each REMIC
created hereunder and deliver such Tax Returns in a timely manner to the Trustee
and the Trustee shall sign and file such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The
expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax or liability
arising from the Trustee's signing of Tax Returns that contain errors or
omissions. The Trustee and Master Servicer shall promptly provide the REMIC
Administrator with such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to
time request for the purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax
Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward to the
Certificateholders, such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone
number of the person who will serve as the representative of each REMIC.
(f) The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such
actions and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are
reasonably within the Master Servicer's or the REMIC Administrator's control and
the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary
or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the Master Servicer and the REMIC
Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the Master Servicer and the
REMIC Administrator to do so). The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator
shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to
take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
reasonably within their respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if
taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC (including but not limited
to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code) (either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the
indemnification referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless
the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or,
if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Master Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best
interest of the Trust
96
Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no
event at the expense of the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or the
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to
each REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Master
Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as applicable, determine in its or
their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition of such
a tax, result in the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a
contemplated action may not be taken because the timing of such action might
result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may only be taken
pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would not impose a tax on the
Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity
given in the preceding sentence with respect to any taxes that might be imposed
on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other preconditions to the taking
of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not take or fail to take
any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Master Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to any REMIC created hereunder or any related assets thereof, or causing
any such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the Master Servicer or
the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any such REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or
cause any such REMIC to take any such action as to which the Master Servicer or
the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator,
as applicable, may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the
cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not
expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the
Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator. At all times as may be required by
the Code, the Master Servicer will to the extent within its control and the
scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially
all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder as "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
"net income from foreclosure property" of any such REMIC as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup
Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of
or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under
this Agreement or the Master Servicer has in its sole discretion determined to
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, (ii) to the Trustee, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations
under this Article X, or (iii) otherwise against amounts on deposit in the
Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and on the Distribution Date(s)
following such reimbursement the aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in
reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in
the same manner as if such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
97
(h) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be
required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder
unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall
have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make
such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC
will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(j) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created
hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any
such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the
Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates (other than the
Interest Only Certificates) representing a regular interest in the applicable
REMIC and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interest (other than each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest
represented by a Class A-V Certificate, if any) and the rights to the Interest
Only Certificates and Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by any
Class A-V Certificate would be reduced to zero is the Maturity Date for each
such Certificate and Interest.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each REMIC created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of
or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the
default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not
limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any REMIC created hereunder, (iii)
the termination of any such REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or
(iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this
Agreement) nor acquire any assets for any such REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any
investments in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account for gain nor
accept any contributions to any such REMIC after the Closing Date unless it has
received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition, substitution or
acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or
(b) unless the Master Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause such REMIC to be subject to a
tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
98
Section 10.02 Master Servicer, REMIC Administrator and Trustee
Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the
REMIC Administrator and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including,

Trust Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants set forth in Article VIII or this Article X.
(b) The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by
the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as a result of
a breach of the REMIC Administrator's covenants set forth in this Article X with
respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation,
any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by
the REMIC Administrator that contain errors or omissions; provided, however,
that such liability will not be imposed to the extent such breach is a result of
an error or omission in information provided to the REMIC Administrator by the
Master Servicer in which case Section 10.02(c) will apply.
(c) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company,
the REMIC Administrator and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by
the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee, as a result
of a breach of the Master Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X or in
Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including
without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax
Returns prepared by the Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

therein, which may be inconsistent with any other provisions
herein or therein or to correct any error,
99
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
to such extent as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the
qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any
Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of
the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code
that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the
Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A)
such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such
qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into
the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or to change the

not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder and
(C) such change shall not result in a reduction of the rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates below the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates
as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(f) or any other provision hereof restricting

change shall not result in reduction of the rating assigned to
any such Class of Certificates below the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates
as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and (B) such change shall not (subject to
Section 10.01(f)), as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking so to modify, eliminate or add such
provisions), cause any REMIC created hereunder or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the transferor) to be subject to a
federal tax caused by a transfer to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee,
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under this Agreement or such Custodial

time to time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than
66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement
or of modifying
100
in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of
any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment, in any such case without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 10.01(f) and at
the expense of the party seeking such amendment) to the effect that such
amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the
Company or the Trustee in accordance with such amendment will not result in the
imposition of a federal tax on the Trust Fund or cause any REMIC created under
the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Custodian
and each Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to obtain
and deliver to the Trustee any corporate guaranty, payment obligation,
irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar
instrument or a reserve fund, or any combination of the foregoing, for the
purpose of protecting the Holders of the Class B Certificates against any or all
Realized Losses or other shortfalls. Any such instrument or fund shall be held
by the Trustee for the benefit of the Class B Certificateholders, but shall not
be and shall not be deemed to be under any circumstances included in the Trust
Fund. To the extent that any such instrument or fund constitutes a reserve fund
for federal income tax purposes, (i) any reserve fund so established shall be an
outside reserve fund and not an asset of the Trust Fund, (ii) any such reserve
fund shall be owned by the Company, and (iii) amounts transferred by the Trust
Fund to any such reserve fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the
Trust Fund to the Company or any successor, all within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) as it reads as of the Cut-off Date. In
connection with the provision of any such instrument or fund, this Agreement and
any provision hereof may be modified, added to, deleted or otherwise amended in
any manner that is related or incidental to such instrument or fund or the
establishment or administration thereof, such amendment to be made by written
instrument executed or consented to by the Company but without the consent of
any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee being required unless any such amendment would impose any additional
obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the interests of the Senior
Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the
101
Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company obtains (subject to Section
10.01(f)) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent
counsel) to the effect that any such amendment will not cause (a) any federal
tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal
tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or
on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code
and (b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificate is outstanding. In the event that the Company elects to
provide such coverage in the form of a limited guaranty provided by General
Motors Acceptance Corporation, the Company may elect that the text of such
amendment to this Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit K (in which case Residential Funding's Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation as described in such exhibit shall be established by Residential
Funding's consent to such amendment) and that the limited guaranty shall be
executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, with such changes as the
Company shall deem to be appropriate; it being understood that the Trustee has
reviewed and approved the content of such forms and that the Trustee's consent
or approval to the use thereof is not required.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject
to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in
all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee (pursuant to the
request of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights), but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Certificateholders.
(b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, 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 Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of any
of the parties hereto.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
102
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders
of Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of
the related Percentage Interests of such Class, shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates of such Class or any other Class, 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 common benefit of Certificateholders of such Class
or all Classes, as the case may be. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 11.03, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 11.04 Governing Law.
This agreement and the Certificates shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights
and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with

circumstances. With respect to any Class or Classes of Certificates issued
hereunder, or any portion of any such Class, as to which the Company or any of
its Affiliates (or any designee thereof) is the registered Holder (the
"Resecuritized Certificates"), the Company may deposit such Resecuritized
Certificates into a new REMIC, grantor trust, FASIT or custodial arrangement (a
"Restructuring Vehicle") to be held by the Trustee pursuant to a Supplemental
Article. The instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed by
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee; provided, that neither the
Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall withhold their consent thereto if their
respective interests would not be materially adversely affected thereby. To the
extent that the terms of the Supplemental Article do not in any way affect any
provisions of this Agreement as to any of the Certificates initially issued
hereunder, the adoption of the Supplemental Article shall not constitute an
"amendment" of this Agreement.

Each Supplemental Article shall set forth all necessary provisions
relating to the holding of the Resecuritized Certificates by the Trustee, the
establishment of the Restructuring Vehicle, the issuing of various classes of
new certificates by the Restructuring Vehicle and the distributions to be made
thereon, and any other provisions necessary for the purposes thereof. In
connection with each Supplemental Article, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Restructuring Vehicle
will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust, FASIT or other entity not subject to
taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the adoption of the
Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC
or (subject to Section 10.01(f)) result in the imposition of a tax upon the
Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC as set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).

consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to
four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans formed and
sold by RESIDENTIAL FUNDING MORTGAGE SECURITIES I, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential Funding
Mortgage Securities I, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Funding Mortgage
Securities I, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or any of their affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC
Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate [(obtained by dividing the [Initial
Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional
Amount] of this Certificate by the aggregate [Initial Certificate Principal
Balance of all Class A- Certificates] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V]
Notional Amounts of all [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates], both as
specified above)] in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund
consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of conventional one- to
four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"),
formed and sold by Residential Funding Mortgage Securities I, Inc. (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Series
Supplement, dated as specified above, to the Standard
Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of ________________ (together,
the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement" or the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Master Servicer and _______________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not
a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the
month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount [(of interest
and principal, if any)] required to be distributed to Holders of Class A-
Certificates on such Distribution Date. [The [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional
Amount of the [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates as of any date of
determination is equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans corresponding to the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests represented by
such [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates.]
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the
Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed
by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or otherwise)
for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so
notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution
and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New
York. The [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest Only/Class
A-V] Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.] [The Certificate
Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions
allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
[As described above, no transfer of this Class A-__ Certificate
will be made unless (i) the Trustee has received either an opinion of counsel or
a representation letter, each as described in the Agreement, relating to the
permissibility of such transfer under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, or
(ii) this Certificate is held by a Depository, in which case the Transferee will
be deemed to have made representations relating to the permissibility of such
transfer under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, as described in Section
5.02(e) of the Agreement. In addition, any purported Certificate Owner whose
acquisition or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) was effected in
violation of the restrictions in Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any
Subservicer, and the Trust Fund from and against
any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a
result of such acquisition or holding.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of
advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee 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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Xxxxxx's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, 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
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or
the Company from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early retirement
of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer or the Company to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are
distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable
to the Class B- Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to
four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans formed and
sold by RESIDENTIAL FUNDING MORTGAGE SECURITIES I, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential Funding
Mortgage Securities I, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Funding Mortgage
Securities I, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or any of their affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC
Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that _______________________ is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by
dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Class B- Certificates, both as specified
above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting
primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate
first mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Funding Mortgage Securities I, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Series Supplement, dated as specified
above, to the Standard Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
________________ (together, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement" or the
"Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and ___________, as trustee
(the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such
last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last
day) of the month next preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record
Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of
interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class B
Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the
Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed
by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or otherwise)
for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so
notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution
and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New
York. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth
above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of
the distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.
No transfer of this Class B Certificate will be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be
made, (i) the Trustee or the Company may require an opinion of counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable
statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter
in the form described by the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to effect
such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of
the Trustee 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. In
connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also require either (i) an
opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with respect to the permissibility
of such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")
and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class B
Certificate will not constitute or result in a non- exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a
representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, either stating
that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary
or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan, or stating that the
transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to
purchase the Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (within the
meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the availability of the
exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of
advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee 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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Xxxxxx's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, 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
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or
the Company from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early retirement
of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer or the Company to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are
distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

interest rate first mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to
be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i)
each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must

under Section 775(a) of the Code, (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a
disqualified organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in
the Class R[-__] Certificates, and (iii) 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 an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code, the United
States, any state or political subdivision thereof, 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, 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 Class R[-__] Certificates to disqualified organizations or electing
large partnerships, under the Code, that applies to all transfers of Class
R[-__] Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the
transferor (or, with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships, on
each such partnership), or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person
includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the

large partnerships) otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the

the Class R[-__] Certificates may be "noneconomic residual interests" 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, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment

electing large partnership under Section 775 of the if at any time during the

Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows
or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and
agreement are false.
7. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of
the Class R[-__] Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R[-__] Certificates were
issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which
authorize the Trustee to deliver 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 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
8. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R[-__] Certificates will only
be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
____________________(the "Seller") to ____________________________(the
"Purchaser") of $__________________ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series ________, Class R[-__] (the
"Certificates"), pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Series Supplement, dated as of

meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby
certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the
Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the Certificate by
the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection
of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Seller does
not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.
3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E- 1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become
due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class R[-__]
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not
both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.

[TEXT OF AMENDMENT TO POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.01(E) FOR A
LIMITED GUARANTY]
ARTICLE XII
Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty
Section 12.01. Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty.
(a) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business
Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date, the
Master Servicer shall determine whether it or any Sub-Servicer will be entitled
to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) on such Distribution Date for
Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances previously made, (which will not be Advances
or Sub-Servicer Advances that were made with respect to delinquencies which were
subsequently determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses,
Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master
Servicer shall demand payment from Residential Funding of an amount equal to the
amount of any Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to Section
4.02(a), to the extent such Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances have not been
included in the amount of the Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and
shall distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same manner
as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the
third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination
Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any Realized Losses (other
than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses
and Extraordinary Losses) will be allocated to the Class B Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05, and, if so, the Master Servicer
shall demand payment from Residential Funding of the amount of such Realized
Loss and shall distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same
manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
provided, however, that the amount of such demand in respect of any Distribution
Date shall in no event be greater than the sum of (i) the additional amount of
Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been paid for the Class B
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date had such Realized Loss or Losses
not occurred plus (ii) the amount of the reduction in the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date due to such
Realized Loss or Losses. Notwithstanding such payment, such Realized Losses
shall be deemed to have been borne by the Certificateholders for purposes of
Section 4.05. Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary Losses allocated to the Class B Certificates
will not be covered by the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation.
(c) Demands for payments pursuant to this Section shall be made
prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or
the related Determination Date by the Master Servicer with written notice
thereof to the Trustee. The maximum amount that Residential Funding shall be
required to pay pursuant to this Section on any Distribution Date (the "Amount
Available") shall be equal to the lesser of (X) minus the sum of (i) all
previous payments made under subsections (a) and (b) hereof and (ii) all draws
under the Limited Guaranty made in lieu of such payments as described below in
subsection (d) and (Y) the then outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates, or such lower amount
as may be established pursuant to Section 12.02. Residential Funding's
obligations as described in this Section are referred to herein as the

Corporation of any failure of Residential Funding to make any payments hereunder
and shall demand payment pursuant to the limited guaranty (the "Limited
Guaranty"), executed by General Motors Acceptance Corporation, of Residential
Funding's obligation to make payments pursuant to this Section, in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the Amount Available and (ii) such required payments,
by delivering to General Motors Acceptance Corporation a written demand for
payment by wire transfer, not later than the second Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date for such month, with a copy to the Master Servicer.
(e) All payments made by Residential Funding pursuant to this
Section or amounts paid under the Limited Guaranty shall be deposited directly
in the Certificate Account, for distribution on the Distribution Date for such
month to the Class B Certificateholders.
(f) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to
substitute for either or both of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation another instrument in the form of a corporate
guaranty, an irrevocable letter of credit, a surety bond, insurance policy or
similar instrument or a reserve fund; provided that (i) the Company obtains
(subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was substituted
for the Master Servicer solely for the purposes of such provision) an Opinion of
Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that
obtaining such substitute corporate guaranty, irrevocable letter of credit,
surety bond, insurance policy or similar instrument or reserve fund will not
cause either (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860(F)(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date"
under Section 860(G)(d)(1) of the Code or (b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, and (ii) no such
substitution shall be made unless (A) the substitute Limited Guaranty or
Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation is for an initial amount not less than
the then current Amount Available and contains provisions that are in all
material respects equivalent to the original Limited Guaranty or Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation (including that no portion of the fees,
reimbursements or other obligations under any such instrument will be borne by
the Trust Fund), (B) the long term debt obligations of any obligor of any
substitute Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation (if not
supported by the Limited Guaranty) shall be rated at least the lesser of (a) the
rating of the long term debt obligations of General Motors Acceptance
Corporation as of the date of issuance of the Limited Guaranty and (b) the
rating of the long term debt obligations of General Motors Acceptance
Corporation at the date of such substitution and (C) the Company obtains written
confirmation from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that rated the
Class B Certificates at the request of the Company that such substitution shall
not lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a) the
then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency
and (b) the original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating
agency. Any replacement of the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written Opinion of
Counsel to the substitute guarantor or obligor, addressed to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee, that such substitute
instrument constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the substitute
guarantor or obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and concerning
such other matters as the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall reasonably
request. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
obligated to substitute for or replace the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation under any circumstance.
Section 12.02. Amendments Relating to the Limited Guaranty.
Notwithstanding Sections 11.01 or 12.01: (i) the provisions of this Article XII
may be amended, superseded or deleted, (ii) the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation may be amended, reduced or canceled, and (iii) any
other provision of this Agreement which is related or incidental to the matters
described in this Article XII may be amended in any manner; in each case by
written instrument executed or consented to by the Company and Residential
Funding but without the consent of any Certificateholder and without the consent
of the Master Servicer or the Trustee being required unless any such amendment
would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the
interests of, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that
the Company shall also obtain a letter from each nationally recognized credit
rating agency that rated the Class B Certificates at the request of the Company
to the effect that such amendment, reduction, deletion or cancellation will not
lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a) the
then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency
and (b) the original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating
agency, unless (A) the Holder of 100% of the Class B Certificates is Residential
Funding or an Affiliate of Residential Funding, or (B) such amendment,
reduction, deletion or cancellation is made in accordance with Section 11.01(e)
and, provided further that the Company obtains (subject to the provisions of
Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was substituted for the Master Servicer
solely for the purposes of such provision), in the case of a material amendment
or supersession (but not a reduction, cancellation or deletion of the Limited
Guaranty or the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation), an Opinion of Counsel
(which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that any
such amendment or supersession will not cause either (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed
on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or
(b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding. A copy of any such instrument shall be provided to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer together with an Opinion of Counsel that
such amendment complies with this Section 12.02.
