appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes.
If at any time the Issuing Entity shall fail to maintain any such office or

as
its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.
Section
3.03 Money
for Payments to be Held in Trust; Paying Agent.
a)
As
provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect
to any Bonds that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account
pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from
the
Payment Account for payments of Bonds shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity
except as provided in this Section 3.03.
The
Issuing Entity will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee
to
execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee
acts
as Paying Agent it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section
3.03, that such Paying Agent will:
(i) hold
all
sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Bonds in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall
be
paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such
sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(ii) give
the
Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuing Entity of which it has
actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect
to the Bonds;
5
(iii) at
any
time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of
the
Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held
in
trust by such Paying Agent;
(iv) immediately
resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums
held
by it in trust for the payment of Bonds if at any time it ceases to meet the
standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;
and
(v) comply
with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any
payments made by it on any Bonds of any applicable withholding taxes imposed
thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection
therewith.
The
Issuing Entity may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuing Entity
Request direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held
in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent;
and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.
Subject
to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the
Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount
due
with respect to any Bond and remaining unclaimed for one year after such amount
has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid
to
the Issuing Entity on Issuing Entity Request; and the Holder of such Bond shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuing Entity
for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the
Issuing Entity), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying
Agent
with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that
the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuing Entity cause
to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper published in the English
language, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at
the
expense and direction of the Issuing Entity, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice
of
such repayment to Holders whose Bonds have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and
payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture
Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).
Section
3.04 Existence.
The
Issuing Entity will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as
a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes,
or
any successor Issuing Entity hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws
of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuing
Entity will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under
the
laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the
Bonds, the Mortgage Loans and each other instrument or agreement included in
the
Trust Estate.

days of the effective date of the Depository’s resignation or removal, each
Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Bonds it
beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.
The
Bonds
shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the
Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee,
authenticated by the Bond Registrar and delivered by the Indenture Trustee
to or
upon the order of the Issuing Entity.
Section
4.02 Registration
of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Bonds; Appointment of Certificate
Registrar.
The
Issuing Entity shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Bond
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Bond Registrar shall provide for the registration of Bonds and of transfers
and exchanges of Bonds as herein provided.
Subject
to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Bond at the Corporate Trust Office, the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Bonds in authorized initial Security Balances evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interests.
17
Subject
to the foregoing, at the option of the Bondholders, Bonds may be exchanged
for
other Bonds of like tenor or, in each case in authorized initial Principal
Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests upon surrender
of
the Bonds to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Bond Registrar.
Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Indenture Trustee shall
execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Bonds which
the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each Bond presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required
by
the Bond Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Bond Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing
with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located
or
having a correspondent located in the city of New York. Bonds delivered upon
any
such transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be
entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Bonds
surrendered.
No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Bonds, but the Bond Registrar shall require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds.
All
Bonds
surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be cancelled by
the
Bond Registrar and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for subsequent destruction
without liability on the part of either.
The
Issuing Entity hereby appoints __________________________________ as Certificate
Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for
the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant
to
Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement. __________________________________ hereby
accepts such appointment.
Section
4.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds.
If (i)
any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuing Entity and the
Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuing
Entity, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Bond has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section
8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuing Entity shall execute, and upon its request
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a replacement Bond of
the
same Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond,
but not a mutilated Bond, shall have become or within seven days shall be due
and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Bond, the Issuing Entity may
pay
such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond when so due or payable without surrender
thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Bond or payment of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Bond pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in lieu of which such
replacement Bond was issued presents for payment such original Bond, the Issuing
Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement
Bond (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person
taking
18
such
replacement Bond from such Person to whom such replacement Bond was delivered
or
any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled
to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of
any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture
Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon
the
issuance of any replacement Bond under this Section 4.03, the Issuing Entity
may
require the payment by the Holder of such Bond of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any
other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture
Trustee) connected therewith.
Every
replacement Xxxx issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable
by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and
proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder.
The
provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.
Section
4.04 Persons
Deemed Owners.
Prior
to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Issuing Entity,
the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Bond is registered (as of the
day
of determination) as the owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving
payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Bond and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bond be overdue, and neither the
Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuing Entity or
the
Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section
4.05 Cancellation.
All
Bonds surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity may at any time deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Issuing Entity may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.
No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds
cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All cancelled Bonds may be held or disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in
effect at the time unless the Issuing Entity shall direct by an Issuing Entity
Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided however, that such
Issuing Entity Request is timely and the Bonds have not been previously disposed
of by the Indenture Trustee.
Section
4.06 Book-Entry
Bonds.
The
Bonds, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Bonds
representing the Book-Entry Bonds, to be delivered to The Depository Trust
Company, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuing Entity. Such
Bonds shall initially be registered on the Bond Register in the name of Cede
& Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will
receive a Definitive Bond representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such
Bond, except as provided in Section 4.08. Unless and
19
until
definitive, fully registered Bonds (the “Definitive Bonds”) have been issued to
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:
(i) the
provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Bond
Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the
Depository for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of
principal of and interest on the Bonds and the giving of instructions or
directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Bonds, and shall have no
obligation to the Owners of Bonds;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06 conflict with any other
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall
control;
(iv) the
rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depository
and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners
of Bonds and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Unless and
until
Definitive Bonds are issued pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository
will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive
and
transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds to such Depository
Participants; and
(v) whenever
this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions
or directions of Holders of Bonds evidencing a specified percentage of the
Security Balances of the Bonds, the Depository shall be deemed to represent
such
percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
from Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or representing,
respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Bonds
and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.
Section
4.07 Notices
to Depository.
Whenever a notice or other communication to the Bond Holders is required under
this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Bonds shall have been issued to
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give
all
such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of
the
Bonds to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial
Owners.
Section
4.08 Definitive
Bonds.
If (i)
the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository
is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with
respect to the Bonds and the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee
in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Owners of Bonds
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
Security Balances of the Bonds advise the Depository in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in
the
best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify all
Beneficial Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Bonds to Beneficial Owners requesting
the
same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Bonds
representing the Book-Entry Bonds by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Bonds in
20
accordance
with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuing Entity, the Bond
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Bonds, the
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Bonds as
Bondholders.
Section
4.09 Tax
Treatment.
The
Issuing Entity has entered into this Indenture, and the Bonds will be issued,
with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business
and franchise tax purposes, the Bonds will qualify as indebtedness of the
Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity, by entering into this Indenture, and each
Bondholder, by its acceptance of its Bond (and each Beneficial Owner by its
acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Bond), agree to treat
the
Bonds for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Issuing Entity.
Section
4.10 Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture.
This
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Bonds except
as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution
of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, (iii) rights of Bondholders to
receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03,
3.04, 3.06, 3.09, 3.16, 3.18 and 3.19, (v) the rights, obligations and
immunities of the Indenture Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the
Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture
Trustee under Section 4.11) and (vi) the rights of Bondholders as beneficiaries
hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Indenture Trustee
payable to all or any of them, and the Indenture Trustee, on demand of and
at
the expense of the Issuing Entity, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
the
Bonds, when
(A) either
(1) all
Bonds
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Bonds that have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 4.03 and (ii) Bonds for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuing Entity and
thereafter repaid to the Issuing Entity or discharged from such trust, as
provided in Section 3.03) have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee for
cancellation; or
(2) all
Bonds
not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation
a. have
become due and payable,
b. will
become due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date within one year,
or
c. have
been
called for early redemption pursuant to Section 5.02.
21
and
the
Issuing Entity, in the case of a. or b. above, has irrevocably deposited or
caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Indenture Trustee cash or direct
obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America (which
will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such
purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on
such Bonds and Certificates then outstanding not theretofore delivered to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation when due on the Final Scheduled Payment
Date;
(B) the
Issuing Entity has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder
and under the Insurance Agreement by the Issuing Entity; and
(C) the
Issuing Entity has delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Credit Enhancer
an
Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and each meeting the applicable
requirements of Section 10.01 each stating that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have
been complied with and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made
in
connection with Section 4.10(A)(2)b. above, such opinion shall further be to
the
effect that such deposit will not have any material adverse tax consequences
to
the Issuing Entity, any Bondholders or any Certificateholders.
Section
4.11 Application
of Trust Money.
All
monies deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof
shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions
of
the Bonds and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent or Certificate Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of Securities, of all sums due and to become due
thereon for principal and interest; but such monies need not be segregated
from
other funds except to the extent required herein or required by
law.
Section
4.12 Subrogation
and Cooperation.
i)
The
Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge that (i) to the extent
the
Credit Enhancer makes payments under the Credit Enhancement Instrument on
account of principal of or interest on the Bonds, the Credit Enhancer will
be
fully subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and
interest from the Issuing Entity, and (ii) the Credit Enhancer shall be paid
such principal and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided
herein and in the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and
interest.
The
Indenture Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request
by
the Credit Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the Credit Enhancer’s
rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance Agreement without
limiting the rights of the Bondholders as otherwise set forth in the Indenture,
including, without limitation, upon the occurrence and continuance of a default
under the Insurance Agreement, a request to take any one or more of the
following actions:
(i) institute
Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Bonds, or
under this Indenture in respect to the Bonds and all amounts payable under
the
Insurance Agreement enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuing

22
(ii) sell
the
Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
more public or private Sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
law;
(iii) file
or
record all Assignments that have not previously been recorded;
(iv) institute
Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this
Indenture; and

any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and take
any
other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of
the
Credit Enhancer hereunder.
Section
4.13 Repayment
of Monies Held by Paying Agent.

connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to
the Bonds, all monies then held by any Administrator other than the Indenture
Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Bonds shall,

be
released from all further liability with respect to such monies.
Section
4.14 Temporary

Pending
the preparation of any Definitive Bonds, the Issuing Entity may execute and
upon
its written direction, the Indenture Trustee may authenticate and make available
for delivery, temporary Bonds that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the Definitive Bonds in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution
of
such Bonds.
If
temporary Bonds are issued, the Issuing Entity will cause Definitive Bonds
to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the Definitive
Bonds, the temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for Definitive Bonds upon
surrender of the temporary Bonds at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Bonds, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange
therefor, Definitive Bonds of authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Bonds shall

ARTICLE
V
Default
and Remedies
Section
5.01 Events
of Default.
“Event
of Default,” wherever used herein, shall have the meaning provided in Article I;
provided, however, that no Event of Default will occur under clause (i) or
clause (ii) of the definition of “Event of Default” if the Issuing Entity fails
to make payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds so long as the Credit
Enhancer makes payments sufficient therefore under the Credit Enhancement
Instrument.
The
Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Credit Enhancer,
within five days after learning of the occurrence of an Event of Default,
written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with
the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default
under clause (iii) of the definition of “Event of Default”, its status and what
action the Issuing Entity is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.
Section
5.02 Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing or if the Master Servicer shall
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8.08 of the Servicing
Agreement, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
of
Bonds representing not less than a majority of the Security Balances of all
Bonds may declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, by a notice
in
writing to the Issuing Entity (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by
Bondholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of
such
Class of Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the
date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. Unless the
prior
written consent of the Credit Enhancer shall have been obtained by the Indenture
Trustee, the Payment Date upon which such accelerated payment is due and payable
shall not be a Payment Date under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be authorized under Section 3.29 to make a draw
therefor.
At
any
time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with respect to an
Event
of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article V provided, the Holders of Bonds representing a majority of the Security
Balances of all Bonds, by written notice to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture
Trustee, may waive the related Event of Default and rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the
Issuing Entity has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient
to pay:
(A) all
payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds and all other amounts that
would then be due hereunder or upon the Bonds if the Event of Default giving
rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and
(B) all
sums
paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee
and
its agents and counsel; and
24
(ii) all
Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Bonds
that
has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 5.12.
No
such
rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereto.
Section
5.03 Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
j)
The
Issuing Entity covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Bond when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment
of
the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Bond when the same
becomes due and payable, the Issue shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Bonds and of the Credit Enhancer,
the whole amount then due and payable on the Bonds for principal and interest,
with interest upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of
the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.
(b) In
case
the Issuing Entity shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand,
the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may institute a Proceeding
for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding
to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuing Entity
or other obligor upon the Bonds and collect in the manner provided by law out
of
the property of the Issuing Entity or other obligor the Bonds, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If
an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee subject to
the
provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may, as more particularly provided in Section
5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Bondholders and the Credit Enhancer, by such appropriate
Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(d) In
case
there shall be pending, relative to the Issuing Entity or any other obligor
upon
the Bonds or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust
Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or
in
case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for
or
taken possession of the Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor
or
Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to
the
Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the Bonds, or to the creditors or property
of the Issuing Entity or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective
of whether the principal of any Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
25
the
Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of
this
Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings
or
otherwise:
(i) to
file
and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing
and unpaid in respect of the Bonds and to file such other papers or documents
as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture
Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the
Bondholders allowed in such Proceedings;
(ii) unless
prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders
of Bonds in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing
similar functions in any such Proceedings;
(iii) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any
such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims
of
the Bondholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and
(iv) to
file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
of
Bonds allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity, its
creditors and its property;
and
any
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such
Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Bondholders to make payments
to
the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall
consent to the making of payments directly to such Bondholders, to pay to the
Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad
faith.
(e) Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize
or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bondholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Bondholder in any such proceeding except,
as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar
Person.
(f) All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any
of
the Bonds, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession
of
any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings
relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements
and
compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee
26
and
their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders
of the Bonds.
(g) In
any
Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving
the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture
Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent
all
the Holders of the Bonds, and it shall not be necessary to make any Bondholder
a
party to any such Proceedings.
Section
5.04 Remedies;
Priorities.
k)
If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee
subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.05):
(i) institute
Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the
collection of all amounts then payable on the Bonds or under this Indenture
with
respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, and all amounts payable
under the Insurance Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
the Issuing Entity and any other obligor upon such Bonds monies adjudged
due;
(ii) institute
Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this
Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate
action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee,
the Holders of the Bonds and the Credit Enhancer; and
(iv) sell
the
Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
law;
provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the
Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee
obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Principal Balances
of the Bonds and the Credit Enhancer, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to Holders
are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the
Bonds for principal and interest and to reimburse the Credit Enhancer for any
amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and any other amounts
due
the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Mortgage Loans will not continue to provide sufficient
funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as they would have
become due if the Bonds had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of the Credit Enhancer, which consent will not
be
unreasonably withheld, and of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
Principal Balances of the Bonds. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may,
but
need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking
or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Servicer Termination
has
not occurred, any Sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the
continued Servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer as provided
in
the Servicing Agreement.
27
(b) If
the
Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V,
it
shall pay out the money or property in the following order:
first:
to the
Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.07;
second:
to each
Class of Bondholders for amounts due and unpaid on the related Class Bonds
for
interest and to each Bondholder of such Class in each case, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable
on
such Class of Bonds for interest from amounts available in the Trust Estate
for
such Bondholders;
third:
to
Holders of each Class of Bonds for amounts due and unpaid on the related Class
of Bonds for principal, from amounts available in the Trust Estate for such
Bondholders, and to each Bondholder of such Class in each case ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable
on
such Class of Bonds for principal, until the Security Balances of each Class
of
Bonds is reduced to zero;
fourth:
to the
Issuing Entity for amounts required to be distributed to the Certificateholders
in respect of interest and principal pursuant to the Trust
Agreement;
fifth:
To the
payment of all amounts due and owing to the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance
Agreement;
sixth:
to the
Issuing Entity for amounts due under Article VIII of the Trust Agreement;
and
seventh:
to the
payment of the remainder, if any to the Issuing Entity or any other person
legally entitled thereto.
The
Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Bondholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before such record
date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Bondholder a notice that states
the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
Section
5.05 Optional
Preservation of the Trust Estate.
If the
Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following
an
Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to take
and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties
hereto and the Bondholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for
the
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and other obligations of
the
Issuing Entity including payment to the Credit Enhancer, and the Indenture
Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not
to
take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to
take
and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but
need
not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or
accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such
purpose.
Section
5.06 Limitation
of Suits.
No
Holder of any Bond shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial
or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the
provisions of Section 10.17 hereof:
28
(i) such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the
Holders of not less than 25% of the Security Balances of the Bonds have made
written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect
of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
hereunder;
(iii) such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with
such request;
(iv) the
Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and
(v) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Security
Balances of the Bonds.
It
is
understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders
of Bonds or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided.
In
the
event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests
and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Bonds, each representing
less than a majority of the Security Balances of the Bonds, the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section
5.07 Unconditional
Rights of Bondholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Bond
shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of
the principal of and interest, if any, on such Bond on or after the respective
due dates thereof expressed in such Bond or in this Indenture and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section
5.08 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.
If the
Indenture Trustee Trustee or any Bondholder has instituted any Proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to
the
Indenture Trustee or to such Bondholder, then and in every such case the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Bondholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of
the
Indenture Trustee and the Bondholders shall continue as though no such
Proceeding had been instituted.
29
Section
5.09 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.
No
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee
or to
the Bondholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section
5.10 Delay
or Omission Not a Waiver.
No
delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Bond to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by
law
to the Indenture Trustee or to the Bondholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or
by
the Bondholders, as the case may be.
Section
5.11 Control
by Bondholders.
The
Holders of a majority of the Security Balances of Bonds shall have the right
to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Bonds or exercising
any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:
(i) such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture;
(ii) subject
to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee
to
sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Bonds representing
not
less than 100% of the Security Balances of Bonds;
(iii) if
the
conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture
Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any
direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Bonds representing less than
100% of the Security Balances of Bonds to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
shall be of no force and effect; and
(iv) the
Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Notwithstanding
the rights of Bondholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01,
the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve
it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any
Bondholders not consenting to such action.
Section
5.12 Waiver
of Past Defaults.
Prior
to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds as provided
in Section 5.02, the Holders of Bonds of not less than a majority of the
Security Balances of the Bonds may waive any past Event of Default and its
consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal
of or interest on any of the Bonds or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of
each Bond or (c) the waiver of which would materially and adversely affect
the
interests of the Credit Enhancer or modify its obligation under the Credit
Enhancement Instrument. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity,
the
30
Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.
Upon
any
such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been
cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.
Section
5.13 Undertaking
for Costs.
All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Bond by such Xxxxxx’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit
instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Bondholder,
or group of Bondholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10%
of
the Security Balances of the Bonds or (c) any suit instituted by any Bondholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Bond
on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Bond and in this
Indenture.
Section
5.14 Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws.
The
Issuing Entity covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will
not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or
take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now
or
at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Issuing Entity (to the extent that it may lawfully
do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.
Section
5.15 Sale
of Trust Estate.
l)
The
power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of the
Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions
of
Section 5.05 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall
not
be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate
remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate
shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Bonds and under this
Indenture and under the Insurance Agreement shall have been paid. The Indenture
Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement
made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly
waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any
Sale.
(b) The
Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust Estate, or any
portion thereof, unless
(1) the
Holders of all Bonds and the Credit Enhancer consent to or direct the Indenture
Trustee to make, such Sale, or
31
(2) the
proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would
be
payable to the Bondholders under the Bonds and the Credit Enhancer in respect
of
amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and any other amounts
due
the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, in full payment thereof
in
accordance with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date
of
such Sale, or
(3) The
Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions for
retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied
(in
making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion
of
an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in
Section 5.05), and the Credit Enhancer consents to such Sale, which consent
will
not be unreasonably withheld and the Holders representing at least 66-2/3%
of
the Security Balances of the Bonds consent to such Sale.
The
purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
at a
private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for
purposes of this Section 5.15(b).
(c) Unless
the Holders and the Credit Enhancer have otherwise consented or directed the
Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in
paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been established
by
the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than
such
amount, the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount at least $1.00 more than
the
highest other bid.
(d) In
connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
(1) any
Holder or Holders of Bonds may bid for and with the consent of the Credit
Enhancer purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the
terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without
further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver
any Bonds or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which
shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon,
and such Bonds, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the
amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being
appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(2) the
Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in
connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and
to
the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection therewith, may purchase
all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying
cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the
gross
Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to
the
Holders of the Bonds and Holders of Certificates and amounts owing to the Credit
Enhancer as a result of such Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(b) on the
Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of
the
Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable
to
it, without being required to produce the Bonds in order to complete any such
Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Bonds,
and
any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee
32
shall
be
held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture;
(3) the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of
conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in
connection with a Sale thereof;
(4) the
Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact
of the Issuing Entity to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of
the
Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary
to effect such Sale; and
(5) no
purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture
Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
or see to the application of any monies.
Section
5.16 Action
on Bonds.
The
Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Bonds or under
this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application
of
any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien
of
this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the
Bondholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture
Trustee against the Issuing Entity or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of
the
Issuing Entity. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall
be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).
Section
5.17 Performance
and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
m)
Promptly
following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the
Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity in its capacity as holder of the
Mortgage Loans, shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee
may
request to cause the Issuing Entity to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Sponsor and the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of
their obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and
all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuing Entity
under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture
Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, including the transmission of notices
of default on the part of the Sponsor or the Master Servicer thereunder and
the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or
secure performance by the Sponsor or the Master Servicer of each of their
obligations under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement.
(b) If
an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, as
pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the rights of the Credit Enhancer
under the Servicing Agreement may, and at the direction (which direction shall
be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of
the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Security Balances of the Bonds shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuing Entity against
the Sponsor or the Master Servicer under or in connection with the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,
33
including
the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or
observance by the Sponsor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, of each
of
their obligations to the Issuing Entity thereunder and to give any consent,
request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, and
any
right of the Issuing Entity to take such action shall not be
suspended.

ARTICLE
VI
The
Indenture Trustee
Section
6.01 Duties
of Indenture Trustee.
n)
If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs.
(b) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the
Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee;
and
(ii) in
the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee
shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The
Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except

paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section

Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee

except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the

(f) No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance
of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds
or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it.
35
(g) Every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.
Section
6.02 Rights
of Indenture Trustee.
o)
The
Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and
to
have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need
not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before
the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable
for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an
Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The
Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or

(e) The
Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel
with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Bonds shall
be
full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to
any
action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
Section
6.03 Individual
Rights of Indenture Trustee.
The
Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Bonds and may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.
Any Administrator, Bond Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections
6.11 and 6.12.
Section
6.04 Indenture
Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The
Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to
the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Bonds, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuing Entity’s use of the proceeds from the Bonds, and it
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuing Entity in the
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Bonds
or
in the Bonds other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of
authentication.
Section
6.05 Notice
of Event of Default.
If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice
thereof to the Credit Enhancer. The Trustee shall mail to each Bondholder notice
of the Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of an
Event of Default in payment of principal of or
36
interest
on any Bond, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as
a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Bondholders.
Section
6.06 Reports
by Indenture Trustee to Holders.
The
Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Bondholder such information as may
be
required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax
returns. In addition, upon the Issuing Entity’s written request, the Indenture
Trustee shall promptly furnish information reasonably requested by the Issuing
Entity that is reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee to enable the
Issuing Entity to perform its federal and state income tax reporting
obligations.
Section
6.07 Compensation
and Indemnity.
The
Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the Administrator to pay to the Indenture
Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation for its services. The
Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the
Administrator to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection,
in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include
the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuing Entity
shall or shall cause the Administrator to indemnify the Indenture Trustee
against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Issuing Entity and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may
seek
indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuing Entity
and
the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuing Entity or the Administrator
of
its obligations hereunder. The Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the
Administrator to defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the Administrator
to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuing Entity nor
the
Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture
Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
The
Issuing Entity’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified
in
Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuing Entity, the expenses are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or
similar law.
Section
6.08 Replacement
of Indenture Trustee.
No
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.
The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuing Entity
and the Credit Enhancer. The Holders of a majority of Security Balances of
the
Bonds may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee
and
the Credit Enhancer and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuing
Entity shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:
37
(i) the
Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
(ii) the
Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii) a
receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its
property; or
(iv) the
Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
If
the
Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of
Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being
referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall
promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
A
successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuing Entity.
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Bondholders. The
retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as
Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.
If
a
successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Holders of a majority of Security Balances
of
the Bonds may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Indenture Trustee.
If
the
Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Bondholder may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee
and
the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuing
Entity’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue

Bonds;
(vii) to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a

(viii) to
modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent
as
shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA
or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this
Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the
TIA;
49
provided,
however, that no such indenture supplements shall be entered into unless the
Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that entering into
such indenture supplement will not have any material adverse tax consequences
to
the Bondholders.
The
Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained.
(b) The
Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuing Entity
Request, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Bonds but
with the consent of the Credit Enhancer and prior notice to the Rating Agencies
and the Credit Enhancer, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental

or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any

(i)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Bondholder or
(ii)
cause the Issuing Entity to be subject to an entity level tax.
(i) change
the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Bond,
or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest rate thereon, change

requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article
V,
to the payment of any such amount due on the Bonds on or after the respective

the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this

security provided by the lien of this Indenture; and provided, further, that
such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Issuing
Entity to be subject to an entity level tax.
The
Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Bonds
would
be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall
be
conclusive upon the Holders of all Bonds, whether theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable
for any such determination made in good faith.
It
shall
not be necessary for any Act of Bondholders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly
after the execution by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Bonds to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of
such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section
10.02 Form
of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters
be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an
54
opinion
with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other
matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters
in one or several documents.
Any
certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuing Entity may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise
of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based
are
erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate
or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Sponsor, the
Issuing Entity or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect
to such factual matters is in the possession of the Sponsor, the Issuing Entity
or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where
any
Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this
Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one
instrument.
Whenever
in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report
to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver
any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence
of the Issuing Entity’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the
truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts
and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent
to the right of the Issuing Entity to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however,
be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section
10.03 Acts
of Bondholders.
ii)
Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Bondholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Bondholders in person or by agents duly appointed in
writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuing
Entity. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Bondholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive
in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, if made in the manner
provided in this Section 10.03.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may
be
proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
55
(c) The
ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Bond Registrar.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Bonds shall bind the Holder of every Bond issued
upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuing Entity in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of
such action is made upon such Bond.
Section
10.04 Notices,

Bondholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall

in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or act of Bondholders is to be made upon, given or furnished
to
or filed with:
(i) the
Indenture Trustee by any Bondholder or by the Issuing Entity shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to
or
with the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. The Indenture Trustee
shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Bondholders to the
Issuing Entity, or
(ii) the
Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by any Bondholder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage
prepaid to the Issuing Entity addressed to: IMH CMB Trust Series 200_ - ______,
in care of [Name of Owner Trustee] _________________, __________,
______________, Attention of _________________________________________ with
a

writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuing Entity or the Administrator.
The
Issuing Entity shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the
Bondholders to the Indenture Trustee, or
(iii) the
Credit Enhancer by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or by any
Bondholders shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder to in writing and
mailed, first-class postage pre-paid, or personally delivered or telecopied
to:
[Name of Credit Enhancer], ________________, ________, _______________,
Attention: _________________, ___________________________, Telephone
______________. Telecopier ______________. The Credit Enhancer shall promptly
transmit any notice received by it from the Issuing Entity, the Indenture
Trustee or the Bondholders to the Issuing Entity or Indenture Trustee, as the
case may be.
Notices
required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture

as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.
Section
10.05 Notices
to Bondholders; Waiver.
Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Bondholders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Bondholder affected
by
such event, at such Person’s as it appears on the Bond Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Bondholders is given by
mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Bondholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Bondholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless
of
whether such notice is in fact actually received.
Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived
in
writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers
of
notice by Bondholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such a waiver.
In
case,
by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike,
work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of
any
event to Bondholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any
provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall
be
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice.
Where
this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give
such
notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder,
and
shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.
Section
10.06 Alternate
Payment and Notice Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Bonds to the
contrary, the Issuing Entity may enter into any agreement with any Holder of
a
Bond providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee
or
any Administrator to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided
for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuing Entity shall
furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture
Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance
with such agreements.
Section
10.07 Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act.
If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof
that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions
of
the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.
The
provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including
the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded
by
this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not
physically contained herein.

unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Credit Enhancer and its successors and assigns shall be a third-party
beneficiary to the provisions of this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in
the Bonds, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties

claim under this Indenture.
Section

case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Bonds or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which
nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any
such nominal date.

bond issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor
or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Bond. The final
payment of this Bond shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof
on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office
or
agency of the Issuing Entity maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to
Section 3.02 of the Indenture.
A-3
Subject
to the foregoing provisions, each Bond delivered under the Indenture, upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond
shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by
such
other Bond.
If
an
Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing
with
respect to the Bonds, the Bonds may become or be declared due and payable in
the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration
of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Bond Principal
Balance of the Bonds, the amount payable to the Holder of this Bond will be
equal to [the sum of the unpaid Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds, together
with] accrued and unpaid interest [thereon] [on the Notional Amount] as
described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the
acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds, under certain circumstances specified
therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the
Bonds or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of [principal of
and] interest on the Bonds as if they had not been declared due and
payable.
The
failure to pay any Unpaid Interest Shortfall at any time when funds are not
available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not constitute
an Event of Default under the Indenture.
The
Holder of this Bond or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to
represent that either (1) it is not acquiring the Bond with Plan Assets or
(2)
(A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of a Bond will not give rise to a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code as a result of the Issuing Entity, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the
Underwriters, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer,
any
Subservicer, any other servicer, any administrator, any provider of credit
support, any owner of the Certificates, or any of their Affiliates being a
“Party in Interest” (within the meaning of ERISA) or Disqualified Person (within
the meaning of the Code) with respect to such Holder or Beneficial Owner that
is
a Plan and (B) the Bonds are rated investment grade or better and such person
believes that the Bonds are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial
equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat
the
Bonds. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Bonds, such person may
provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with an opinion of counsel,
which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuing Entity,
the
Sponsor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master
Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding
and transfer of such Bond or interest therein is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuing Entity,
the
Sponsor, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Bond may be registered on the Bond Register of the Issuing
Entity. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of
a
written instrument of transfer for, this Bond at the office or agency designated
by the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper
instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one
or
more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial
[Bond Principal Balance][Notional Amount], will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
A-4
Prior
to
the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Bond, the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Xxxx is registered
as
the owner of such Bond (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of
making payments and interest of such Bond, and (ii) on any other date for all
other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Bond be
overdue, and neither the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any such
agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity
and the rights of the Holders of the Bonds under the Indenture at any time
by
the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of a majority of all Bonds
at
the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of Bonds representing specified percentages of the aggregate Bond
Principal Balance of the Bonds on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds, to
waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver
by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Bond (or any one
or
more predecessor Bonds) shall bind the Holder of every Bond issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Bond. The Indenture
also permits the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive
certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent
of
the Holders of the Bonds issued thereunder.
Initially,
the Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC,
acting in its capacity as the Depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be
delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Bonds are exchangeable
for a like aggregate initial [Bond Principal Balance][Notional Amount] of Bonds
of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
same.
Unless
the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture
Trustee by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS
PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS BOND AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS BOND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW
YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

Trust Series 200_-_ (the “Issuing Entity”), a Delaware statutory trust, for
value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns,
the principal sum of ______________________________ ($___________) in monthly
installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”),
commencing in _________ 200_ and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring
in _________ 20__ (the “Final Scheduled Payment Date”) and to pay interest on
the Bond Principal Balance of this Bond (this “Bond”) outstanding from time to
time as provided below.
This
Bond
is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuing Entity’s Collateralized
Asset-Backed Bonds, Series 200_-_ (the “Bonds”), issued under an Indenture dated
as of ___________, 200_ (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and
___________, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes
any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the
respective rights thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee,
and
the Holders of the Bonds and the terms upon which the Bonds are to be
authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Bond which are defined
in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
Payments
of principal and interest on this Bond will be made on each Payment Date to
the
Bondholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Bond Principal Balance”
of a Bond as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Bond Principal
Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with
respect to such Bond on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Bond on all prior Payment
Dates.
The
principal of, and interest on, this Bond are due and payable as described in
the
Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All
payments made by the Issuing Entity with respect to this Bond shall be equal
to
this Bond’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class [_]-M-[_]
Bonds as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal
as provided in the Indenture.
A-10
All
principal and interest accrued on the Bonds, if not previously paid, will become
finally due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date.
The
Group
[1][2] Bonds are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the
Majority Certificateholder, on or after the earlier of (i) the Payment Date
on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group [1][2] Loans as of
the
end of the related Due Period is less than or equal to __% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group [1][2] Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, and (ii) the Payment Date occurring in _________ 20__.
The
Issuing Entity shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Bonds
except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Bonds. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class [_]-M-[_] Bonds,
and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Bond, agrees that (i) such
Bond will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust
Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse
to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, Impac Secured
Assets Corp., Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., the Master Servicer or any of
their
respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except
the assets of the Issuing Entity pledged to secure the Class [_]-M-[_] Bonds
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuing Entity under
the Indenture.
Any
payment of principal or interest payable on this Bond which is punctually paid
on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Xxxx is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment
Date by check mailed to such Person’s address as it appears in the Bond Register
on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest
payable with respect to such Bond, which shall be payable as provided below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate
instructions by the Holder of this Bond delivered to the Indenture Trustee
at
least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal
or
interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall
be
made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such
Holder. All reductions in the principal amount of a Bond (or one or more
predecessor Bonds) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all Holders of this Bond and of any bond issued upon
the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
whether or not such payment is noted on such Bond. The final payment of this
Bond shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the
Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
of
the Issuing Entity maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
of
the Indenture.
Subject
to the foregoing provisions, each Bond delivered under the Indenture, upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond
shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by
such
other Bond.
If
an
Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing
with
respect to the Bonds, the Bonds may become or be declared due and payable in
the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration
of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Bond Principal
Balance of the Bonds, the amount payable to the Holder of this Bond will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The
Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the
A-11
acceleration
of the maturity of the Bonds, under certain circumstances specified therein,
all
amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Bonds or
otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest
on the Bonds as if they had not been declared due and payable.
The
failure to pay any Unpaid Interest Shortfall at any time when funds are not
available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not constitute
an Event of Default under the Indenture.
The
Holder of this Bond or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to
represent that either (1) it is not acquiring the Bond with Plan Assets or
(2)
(A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of a Bond will not give rise to a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code as a result of the Issuing Entity, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the
Underwriters, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer,
any
Subservicer, any other servicer, any administrator, any provider of credit
support, any owner of the Certificates, or any of their Affiliates being a
“Party in Interest” (within the meaning of ERISA) or Disqualified Person (within
the meaning of the Code) with respect to such Holder or Beneficial Owner that
is
a Plan and (B) the Bonds are rated investment grade or better and such person
believes that the Bonds are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial
equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat
the
Bonds. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Bonds, such person may
provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with an opinion of counsel,
which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuing Entity,
the
Sponsor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master
Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding
and transfer of such Bond or interest therein is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuing Entity,
the
Sponsor, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Bond may be registered on the Bond Register of the Issuing
Entity. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of
a
written instrument of transfer for, this Bond at the office or agency designated
by the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper
instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one
or
more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial
Bond Principal Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
Prior
to
the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Bond, the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Xxxx is registered
as
the owner of such Bond (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of
making payments and interest of such Bond, and (ii) on any other date for all
other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Bond be
overdue, and neither the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any such
agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity
and the rights of the Holders of the
A-12
Bonds
under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the
Holders of a majority of all Bonds at the time outstanding. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of Bonds representing specified
percentages of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds on behalf
of
the Holders of all the Bonds, to waive any past Default under the Indenture
and
its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving
thereof, of this Bond (or any one or more predecessor Bonds) shall bind the
Holder of every Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or
waiver is made upon such Bond. The Indenture also permits the Issuing Entity
and
the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth
in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Bonds issued
thereunder.
Initially,
the Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC,
acting in its capacity as the Depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be
delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Bonds are exchangeable
for a like aggregate initial Bond Principal Balance of Bonds of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
same.
Unless
the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture
Trustee by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS
PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS BOND AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS BOND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW
