concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together with all rights assigned by the
Transferor to the Depositor, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and, solely with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, all of the Transferor's right, title and interest in and to the

Mortgage Loans being serviced by the related Servicer (other than those rights
under the Servicing Agreements that do not relate to servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (including, without limitation, the representations and warranties made by
each Servicer (in its capacity as loan seller to the Transferor) and the
document delivery requirements of such Servicer and the remedies (including
indemnification) available for breaches thereto), which rights were retained by
the Transferor pursuant to the Assignment Agreements). In connection with the
foregoing assignments, the Transferor has caused each Servicer to enter into the
related Assignment Agreement.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in
clause (a) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the
applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of ___________
without recourse," with all intervening endorsements showing a complete
chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person endorsing the
Mortgage Note (each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note); or, with respect to any
Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit from the related originator or
the Transferor stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or

(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage or a
copy of such Mortgage certified by the related originator as being a true

(iii) a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which may be
included in a blanket assignment or assignments), endorsed in the
following form: "JPMorgan Chase Bank, in trust for the MASTR Adjustable
Rate Mortgages Trust 2004-3 for the benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Though Certificates, Series 2004-3" together with, except as provided
below, all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each such
assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided
that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the
information to be provided by the recording office;
(iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate original
lender's title policy and all riders thereto.
In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause
(a) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the related
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders
the following documents or instruments with respect to each Cooperative Loan so
assigned:
(i) the Cooperative Shares, together with the Stock Power in blank;
(ii) the executed Security Agreement;
(iii) the executed Proprietary Lease and the Assignment of
Proprietary Lease to the originator of the Cooperative Loan;
(iv) the executed Recognition Agreement;
(v) copies of the original UCC financing statement, and any
continuation statements, filed by the originator of such Cooperative Loan
as secured party, each with evidence of recording thereof, evidencing the
interest of the originator under the Security Agreement and the Assignment
of Proprietary Lease;
(vi) copies of the filed UCC assignments or amendments of the
security interest referenced in clause (v) above showing an unbroken chain
of title from the originator to the Trust, each with evidence of recording
thereof, evidencing the interest of the assignee under the Security

amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgage has been recorded in
the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc. ("MERS") or its
designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to
be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligations of the applicable Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to
cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the
records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of
beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c)
the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not
been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause
(ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to
either the applicable Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer
in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the
applicable Custodian, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original
Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording
office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and
each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing
Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the
Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver
by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the
fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the applicable Custodian as promptly
as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following
the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
applicable Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other
documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the applicable Custodian.
In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with
the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office
requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the applicable Custodian shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the
public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the
applicable Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, set forth in clause (a) above and in any event, within ninety (90)
days thereafter, the applicable Custodian shall affix the Trustee's name to each
assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, and, subject to Section 2.02,
the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer
pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such assignment to be
in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public
office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the
Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which
the related Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such
assignment in recordable form, the related Servicer's obligation to do so and to
deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after
receipt of such information and in any event within ninety (90) days after
receipt thereof and except that the related Servicer need not cause to be
recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) in any state where,
in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, such recording is not
required to protect the Trustee's interests in the Mortgage Loan against the
claim of any subsequent transferee or any successor to or creditor of the
Depositor or the Transferor, (b) in any state where recordation is not required
by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement on the Certificates or (c) with respect to any Mortgage
which has been recorded in the name of MERS, or its designee. As of the date
hereof, Florida and Maryland are the only states where recordation is required
by either Rating Agency (upon which statement the Master Servicer and the
Trustee and each Custodian may conclusively rely), to obtain the initial rating
on the Certificates.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the
Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "MASTR Adjustable Rate
Mortgages Trust 2004-3" and JPMorgan Chase Bank, is hereby appointed as Trustee
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall remit to
the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account the Initial Depositor
Required Deposit in respect of the Alternate Cut-Off Date Mortgage Loans. Such
amount shall be allocated to each of the Loan Groups based on the aggregate
amount of interest that would have accrued on each Alternate Cut-Off Date
Mortgage Loan in each such Loan Group for the Interest Accrual Period related to
the April 2004 Distribution Date, had the Cut-Off Date for such Mortgage Loans
been March 1, 2004 (instead of April 2004).
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans. Each
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents
identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F,
and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the related Mortgage Files, and each such Custodian
and the Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as
are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of
all present and future Certificateholders. Each Custodian acknowledges that it
will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Minnesota with
respect to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., and in the State of Arizona with respect to
U.S. Bank, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Trustee.
Each Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to
the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the
documents identified in such Initial Certification, each Custodian acknowledges,
subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit F that such documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither Custodian
shall be under any duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section
2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are
applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, each Custodian shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of any
Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification
or the Final Certification. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of
the Trustee, the identity of the originator for any Mortgage Loan with a
material exception.
If, in the course of such review, either Custodian finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, each Custodian, as applicable, shall list such as
an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that such Custodian
shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient
to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as
noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of
and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified
in Section 2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such
documents are applicable.
Upon receiving the Final Certification from the applicable
Custodian, the Trustee shall notify the Transferor of any document defects
listed as exceptions in each such Final Certification. The Trustee shall enforce
the applicable duties of the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Section
2.02 to correct and cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to
correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor's obligations hereunder,
to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Any such purchase of a
Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the applicable
Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. The
Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Transferor to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the Master
Servicer shall instruct the applicable Custodian to release, and the applicable
Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Transferor, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor's written request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Transferor or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from the Trustee of
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, which document defect materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price in the manner set forth above. The Transferor shall promptly
reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such
repurchase by the Transferor.
Each Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related
Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to
the related Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage
File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other
documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the
possession of the related Servicers from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor,
hereunder, to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any
Certificateholder.
Section 2.03 Remedies for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein,
as of the Cut-off Date.
Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties. A breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice
of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the Transferor of such breach. The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this
Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty
made herein, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within
such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce
the Transferor's obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan. In each case, such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage
Loan") will be removed from the Trust Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period expires
prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the
manner set forth below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by
the Transferor.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Transferor shall deliver to the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as
are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made on
any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The related Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and the related Custodian shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein
in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph,
the related Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Transferor
and shall execute and deliver or cause the Trustee to execute and deliver at the
Transferor's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be
necessary to vest title in the Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Transferor substitutes one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate
principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date
of substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of
such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deposit such amounts received from the Transferor into the
Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the
related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit L hereto, the related Custodian shall release the
related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the
Transferor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor's
direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation under this Agreement of the Transferor to cure, repurchase or replace
any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedies against the Transferor respecting such matters
available to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and
assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the related Custodian for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee
and the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof
or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following
the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor the Depositor had
good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, liens, defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the Master Servicer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein as a "breach"),
which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating Agency.
Section 2.05 [Reserved].

acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the assets of the Trust Fund
and acknowledges the issuance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and the
Class A-LR Certificates in exchange therefor. The Trustee acknowledges the
transfer and assignment to it of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and
acknowledges the issuance of the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and the

transfer and assignment to it of the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the issuance of the Class A-UR
Interest and has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly
or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold
the Trust Fund and the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and Middle-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests and to exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit
of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties
set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the
interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively
protected.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and
oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their
respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all
things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master
servicing and administration. With respect to WMMSC, any WMMSC Mortgage Loans
and any WMMSC Servicing Agreement, the obligations of the Master Servicer
imposed in the preceding sentence shall be limited to: (i) collecting the
monthly report provided by WMMSC under such WMMSC Servicing Agreement, (ii)
enforcing WMMSC's obligation to remit to the Trustee hereunder, (iii) receiving
the annual compliance statements from WMMSC and (iv) complying with the
provisions of Section 3.02(b) hereof and such WMMSC Servicing Agreement with
respect to the termination of WMMSC. In performing its obligations hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement,
subject to the prior two sentences, and with customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to
the Master Servicer by each Servicer (provided, however, the Master Servicer
shall have no obligation to review or evaluate any reports, information and
other data provided by WMMSC with respect to any WMMSC Mortgage Loans) and shall
cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and
conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable
Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately
monitor each Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each related
Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information
provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective
adjustments to the Servicers' and Master Servicer's records, and based on such
reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in
Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to
perform the duties outlined in this sentence with respect to WMMSC or any WMMSC
Mortgage Loans other than collecting the mortgage loan information provided to
the Master Servicer by WMMSC to enable the Master Servicer to prepare the
statement required under Section 4.04. Other than with respect to WMMSC and any
WMMSC Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its
Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the
Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to
the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 Monitoring of Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall
be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by
each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the
review of each Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an
officer's certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance
with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master
Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in
accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent
pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event
that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the
related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to
perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement,
subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such
Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans
or cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor
Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood
and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements
and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried
out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith
business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own
expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or
defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have
received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such
action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and
expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation
of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default
by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully
and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection
Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with
the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related
Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that
it replaces.
(f) If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating
Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make
such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was
required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.
(g) To the extent a Servicer requests the consent of the Trust or
the Master Servicer with respect to any servicing-related matter for which the
applicable Servicer is required to seek consent under the applicable Servicing
Agreement or Assignment Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly or within
the time frame specified in such Servicing Agreement, if any, evaluate such
request for consent in the best interest of the Trust and the
Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent accordingly.

Section 3.04 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the

Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to

Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee
nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer or any Servicer nor shall the Trustee or
the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer
hereunder or any Servicer under any Servicing Agreement or otherwise.

the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer
hereunder (including by reason of a Master Servicer Event of Termination), the
Trustee or its successor shall in accordance with Section 7.02 thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising
thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the
predecessor Master Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,

no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Master Servicer
Event of Termination), the Trustee or its successor may, but shall not be
obligated to, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
each subservicing agreement.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the

data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct
any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively.
If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an
expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.

enforce the obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected
Account in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to

specified in the related Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of
principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan or amounts received with respect to
any REO Property, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds, and advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less

be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall
be borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The related Servicer (to
the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the amount of any
such loss in the Protected Account within two Business Days of receipt of

respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in
the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon

deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the
Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10(b).
In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the

Account is maintained shall invest the funds on deposit in the Collection
Account or Distribution Account as directed in writing by the Master Servicer,
in Permitted Investments. Funds invested in the Collection Account shall mature
not later than the Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account
Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of or is
managed by the institution that maintains, or is the custodian for, such
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Account Deposit Date). The Trustee shall, with respect to funds
other than the WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount, as directed in writing by the
Master Servicer, and with respect to the WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount, as
directed in writing by WMMSC, either (i) hold funds on deposit in the
Distribution Account uninvested in a trust or deposit account of the Trustee
with no liability for interest or other compensation thereon, except as
otherwise agreed in writing with the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, or
(ii) invest funds on deposit in the Distribution Account in Permitted
Investments as directed by the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, which
Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day next
preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an
obligation of or is managed by the institution that maintains such fund or
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date). Permitted Investments in respect of the Collection Account
or the Distribution Account shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their
maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of
any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as master
servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any realized losses in the Collection Account incurred in any such
account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the
Master Servicer (from its own funds without any right of reimbursement) in the
Collection Account or paid to the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately
available funds for deposit into the Distribution Account. All income and gain

Distribution Account and net of any WMMSC Investment Earnings Amount) shall be
for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in
the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable, in the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment
of funds held in the Collection Account (except to the extent the Trustee is the
obligor and has defaulted thereon) or the Distribution Account and made in
accordance with this Section 3.07. In the absence of written instructions by (i)
the Master Servicer, with respect to funds other than any WMMSC Monthly

Amount, to invest funds held in the Collection Account or Distribution Account,

collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by such Servicer) for the payment
of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to
compel a Servicer to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under
the related Servicing Agreements to maintain or cause to be maintained standard
fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in
accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreements. It is
understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and
that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted
loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
(b) Pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08, any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to
the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the
Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing
under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit;
provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into
account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to
Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such
Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.12 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and
take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or
enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed
to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies,
bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account upon
receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair
or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the

applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
Section 3.13 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. (a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such
action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any
action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance
Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its
best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the
related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder
except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer
(to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 3.07 and
3.08, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.14 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.15 REO Property. (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on
behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable
Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Servicing
Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the Protected Account.

disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the
final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed
Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the
case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other
net amounts derived from such REO Property.
(d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer
as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the
Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit
into the related Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the related
Servicer to dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third
calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged
Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of
such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period of such extension.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund
in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from
such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Master Servicer or related Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligors is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause the applicable Servicer to comply
with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any
successor provision thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax
obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the
extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to
the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.16 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause
the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
(i) the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the receipt by the Master
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes or otherwise in connection with the servicing of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of notification from the
related Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, which
notification shall state that such payment in full has been deposited in the
Collection Account or has otherwise been escrowed in a manner customary for such
purposes, instruct the related Custodian to, and the related Custodian shall
release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Upon notification,
the Trustee shall at the related Custodian's direction execute and deliver to
the related Custodian the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or
release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the
Mortgage in each case provided by the related Custodian, together with the
Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be chargeable to the related Mortgagor.
If the Master Servicer or any related Servicer at any time seeks to
initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as
authorized by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or
any related Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
Section 3.18 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer and the Custodians to Be Held for the Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall forward to the
related Custodian with an instruction to, and the related Custodian shall, place
within the Mortgage File and shall cause each Servicer to transmit to the
related Custodian as required by this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming
into the possession of the Master Servicer or related Servicer from time to time
and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master
Servicer or related Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master
Servicer, related Servicer or the related Custodian as Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds
collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, the related
Servicer or the related Custodian in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account or
any Protected Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer, the related
Servicer or the related Custodian for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be
and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trust, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Custodians also agrees that it shall not
create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in
the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under
this Agreement.
Section 3.19 Master Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to all investment income
gained on amounts held in the Collection Account. The Trustee will remit from

investment income earned on amounts held in the Distribution Account net of the
WMMSC Investment Earnings Amount, if any, which the Trustee shall remit directly
to WMMSC.

Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by
the Master Servicer, the related Custodian and the related Servicer. Nothing in
this Section shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer, the related
Custodian and the related Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master
Servicer, the related Custodian or the related Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section. In fulfilling such requests, the Master Servicer and the
related Custodian shall not be responsible to determine the sufficiency of such
information.
Section 3.21 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Depositor, each Rating Agency and the Trustee on or before
March 15th of each year, commencing with March 15, 2005, an Officer's

signers thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to

has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,

Section 3.22 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements. On or before March 15th of each year,
commencing with March 15, 2005, if the Master Servicer has, during the course of
any fiscal year, directly serviced any Mortgage Loan, then at its expense it
shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the

substantially similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto
a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby)
and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in
compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing
agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in
the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers requires it to report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the

(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (H), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate
Certificates (other than the Class B-1-X Certificates) on any Distribution Date,
(I) such Class has not satisfied the related Class Prepayment Distribution
Trigger, no distribution of amounts pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the
definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount will be made to any such
Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and the amount of such amounts pursuant to
clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount
otherwise distributable to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any
Classes of Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class B-1-X Certificates),
that are not Restricted Classes, having lower numerical Class designations than
such Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the
sequential order provided in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (H); provided,
however, that, if all of the Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class
B-1-X Certificates) are Restricted Classes, then such amounts shall be
distributed to the most senior Class of such Subordinate Certificates
outstanding and (II) such Class has not satisfied the Subordinate Certificates
Fractional Interest Test, the Classes of Subordinate Certificates (other than
the Class B-1-X Certificates) that have higher numerical designations shall
receive, in respect of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate
Optimal Principal Amount, an amount equal to the product of (i) their pro rata
shares (based on the Certificate Principal Balances of all Subordinate
Certificates that are entitled to receive principal distributions on such date)
and (ii) the percentages set forth in the following table:
Distribution Date occurring in Percentage
------------------------------ ----------
April 2004 through March 2011.......... 0%
April 2011 through March 2012.......... 30%
April 2012 through March 2013.......... 40%
April 2013 through March 2014.......... 60%
April 2014 through March 2015.......... 80%
After March 2015....................... 100%
Each Class of Subordinate Certificates that received a full pro rata
share as described above shall be allocated any remaining amount in respect of
clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal
Amount, pro rata (based on the Certificate Principal Balances of only those
Subordinate Certificates that received a full pro rata share). The calculation
of any amount to be distributed under this Section 4.02(d) shall be made by the
Master Servicer.
(e) On each Distribution Date, after application of Group Available
Funds for each Loan Group in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i), the Trustee
shall effect cross-collateralization among the Certificate Groups as follows:
(i) To the extent any Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to
any Class or Classes of Senior Certificates remains unpaid after
application of Group 1 Available Funds, Group 2 Available Funds, Group 3
Available Funds, Group 4 Available Funds, Group 5 Available Funds, Group 6
Available Funds, Group 7 Available Funds and Group 8 Available Funds in
accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i), Available Funds remaining from all
Loan Groups after payments on the Senior Certificates in the related
Certificate Groups shall be applied to cover such unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest, and shall be applied pro rata based on the amounts
of such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest to the extent there are
insufficient funds to pay such amounts in full. Such amounts shall
otherwise be paid to the Senior Certificates in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i).
(ii) If on any Distribution Date, one or more of the Certificate
Groups is an Undercollateralized Group, the available Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount (after giving effect to amounts required to
be paid in subclause (i) above) shall be paid to the Senior Certificates
of each such Undercollateralized Group as principal in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) until the aggregate Class
Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of each such
Undercollateralized Group(s) equals the Pool Balance of the related Loan
Group. If more than one such Certificate Group is an Undercollateralized
Group, the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be
distributed between such Undercollateralized Groups pro rata according to
the Pool Principal Balance of the related Loan Group.
(iii) On or after the date on which the Class Principal Balances of
all of the Senior Certificates in any of the Certificate Groups have been
reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the
Subordinate Certificates, up to the applicable Apportioned Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount, shall be paid pro rata as principal to the
remaining Senior Certificates of such other Certificate Group or Groups in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i), provided
that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage
for such Distribution Date is less than twice the initial Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage or (b) the average outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans in any Loan Group delinquent 60 days or more over the
last six months (including delinquent Mortgage Loans in bankruptcy, and
all Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and REO Properties) as a percentage of
the related Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or equal to 50%.
(iv) Any application of the Subordinate Principal Distribution
Amount for the Subordinate Certificates pursuant to the preceding
paragraphs (ii) and (iii) will reduce distributions of such amount to the
Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class B-1-X Certificates) in
reverse order of priority pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (H).
(f) On each Distribution Date, prior to distributions on the
Certificates as provided in Section 4.02(a)-(e), (i) Group 1 Available Funds
(other than amounts paid to the Class A-LR pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i)) shall
be deemed distributed to the Class L-1B Interest and Class L-1Q Interest, (ii)
Group 2 Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the Class L-2B Interest
and Class L-2Q Interest, (iii) Group 3 Available Funds shall be deemed
distributed to the Class L-3B Interest and Class L-3Q Interest, (iv) Group 4
Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the Class L-4B Interest and Class
L-4Q Interest, (v) Group 5 Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the
Class L-5B Interest and Class L-5Q Interest, (vi) Group 6 Available Funds shall
be deemed distributed to the Class L-6B Interest and Class L-6Q Interest, (vii)
Group 7 Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the Class L-7B Interest
and Class L-7Q Interest and (viii) Group 8 Available Funds shall be deemed
distributed to the Class L-8B Interest and Class L-8Q Interest, with respect to
interest, at the related pass through rate described in Section 2.07, and with
respect to principal in the amounts described in this Section 4.02(f).
Distributions of principal shall be made, and Realized Losses, Fraud
Losses, Bankruptcy Losses, Special Hazard Losses, Deficient Valuations and
Excess Losses shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Class L-1B Interest, Class L-2B Interest, Class
L-3B Interest, Class L-4B Interest, Class L-5B Interest, Class L-6B
Interest, Class L-7B Interest and Class L-8B Interest each from the
Related Loan Group, so that their respective principal balances (computed
to at least eight decimal places) are equal to (A) 0.10% of the Group 0
Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, (X) 0.10% of the Group 2 Subordinate Amount, (C) 0.10%
of the Group 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, (X) 0.10% of the Group 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx

(X) 0.10% of the Group 7 Subordinate Amount and (H) 0.10% of the Group 8
Subordinate Amount, respectively (except that if any such amount is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount
of principal shall be distributed or losses shall be allocated to the
Class L-1B Interest, Class L-2B Interest, Class L-3B Interest, Class L-4B
Interest, Class L-5B Interest or Class L-6B Interest, as applicable, such
that the Lower-Tier Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and

L-1Q Interest, Class L-2Q Interest, Class L-3Q Interest, Class L-4Q
Interest, Class L-5Q Interest, Class L-6Q Interest, Class L-7Q Interest
and Class L-8Q Interest, respectively.
(iii) On each Distribution Date prior to distributions on the
Certificates as provided in Sections 4.02(a)-(e), interest shall be paid
to each Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interest at the time and in the amount
that interest is paid to the Corresponding Class or Classes of
Certificates or Components. Distributions of principal shall be deemed
paid and Realized Losses, Fraud Losses, Special Hazard Losses, Bankruptcy
Losses and Excess Losses shall be deemed allocated to the Middle-Tier
REMIC Regular Interests in the same manner as they are allocated to the
Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates or Components pursuant to
Section 4.02(a)-(e) and Section 4.03.
(g) Any Fair Market Value Excess collected in connection with a
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 shall be distributed to
the Holders of the Class A-LR Certificates.
Section 4.03 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On or prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of
Realized Losses, including Excess Losses and the allocation of such total amount
as set forth below. Realized Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated as follows:
(i) (A) any Realized Loss (other than an Excess Loss) shall be
allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their
respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero and second (1) with respect to such losses
occurring with respect to Group 1 Mortgage Loans, to the Classes of Group
1 Certificates (not including the Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on
the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior
to the related Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance of each
such Class has been reduced to zero; (2) with respect to such losses
occurring with respect to Group 2 Mortgage Loans, to the Group 2
Certificates (not including the Interest-Only Certificates); (3) with
respect to such losses occurring with respect to Group 3 Mortgage Loans,

Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero; (4)
with respect to such losses occurring with respect to Group 4 Mortgage
Loans, to the Classes of Group 4 Certificates (not including the
Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on the basis of their respective
Class Principal Balances immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced
to zero; (5) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to Group 5
Mortgage Loans, to the Group 5 Certificates (not including the
Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on the basis of their respective
Class Principal Balances immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced
to zero; provided, however, that on or after the Cross-Over Date, the
losses allocable to the Class 5-A-1 Certificates under this paragraph will
instead be allocated to the Class 5-A-2 Certificates until the Class
Principal Balance of the Class 5-A-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero; (6) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to Group 6
Mortgage Loans, to the Group 6 Certificates (not including Interest-Only
Certificates); (7) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to
Group 7 Mortgage Loans, to the Group 7 Certificates (not including
Interest-Only Certificates); and (8) with respect to such losses occurring
with respect to Group 8 Mortgage Loans, to the Group 8 Certificates (not
including the Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on the basis of their
respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has
been reduced to zero;
(B) any Excess Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated among (1) the Group 1 Certificates, in the case of an Excess
Loss on a Group 1 Mortgage Loan, the Group 2 Certificates, in the case of

case, any related Interest-Only Certificates) and (2) each Class of
Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class B-1-X Certificates), pro
rata, based upon their respective Class Principal Balances (or, in the
case of such Subordinate Certificates in the aggregate, the Group
Subordinate Amount for the Loan Group which incurred the Excess Loss, the
aggregate amount so allocated to the Subordinate Certificates (other than
the Class B-1-X Certificates) then to be allocated among such Subordinate
Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal
Balances) after giving effect to distributions of principal on such
Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall
be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of
Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the
allocation of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool
Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date.
(c) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any
reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to
Section 4.03(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately following the
distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the
definition of "Certificate Principal Balance" herein; provided that no Realized
Loss shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of a
Certificate to the extent that such allocation would reduce the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Certificates to an amount less than
the Pool Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date of all
outstanding Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, less any related Deficiency
Valuations occurring before the related Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Termination
Date (such limitation, a "Loss Allocation Limitation").
(d) Prior to the Cross-Over Date, with respect to Recoveries
received during a Prepayment Period with respect to any Mortgage Loans, the
Class Principal Balance of one or more Classes of Certificates that have
previously had Realized Losses allocated, will be increased, as follows:
(i) first, up to the amount of the Recoveries with respect to a Loan
Group, the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Certificates
(other than the Interest-Only Certificates) of the Certificate Group
corresponding to such Loan Group will be increased, pro rata, up to the
amount of unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such
Class, if any; and
(ii) second, up to the amount of the Recoveries remaining after
allocation pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the Certificate Principal
Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class
B-1-X Certificates), in order of seniority, will be increased, by the
amount of unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such
Class, if any.
(e) Commencing on the Cross-Over Date, the Trustee shall distribute
the amount of any Recovery received during a Prepayment Period, pro rata, to the
Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Interest-Only Certificates) of
the Certificate Group corresponding to the Loan Group of the Mortgage Loan for
which the Recovery was received; provided, however, that any distribution to a
Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) shall not reduce the
Class Principal Balance of such Class.

received by the Trustee, the Trustee will make a copy of each statement provided
pursuant to this Section 4.04 (and, at the option of the Master Servicer and
Trustee, as applicable, any additional files containing the same information in
an alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders and other
interested parties, and other parties to this Agreement via its internet
website. The Master Servicer's internet website will initially be located at

"xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx." Assistance in using the Master Servicer's website can be
obtained by calling the Master Servicer's customer service desk at (301)
815-6600. Assistance in using the Trustee's website can be obtained by calling
the Trustee's customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable
to use the above distribution method are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to
them via first class mail by calling the Master Servicer's customer service desk
and indicating such. The Master Servicer shall have the right to change the way
the Distribution Date Statement is distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and more accessible and the Master Servicer shall
provide timely and adequate notification to the Certificateholders and the
parties to this Agreement regarding any such changes.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not
be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date Statement and may affix
thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
As a condition to access the Master Servicer's or the Trustee's
internet website, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, may require
registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. Neither the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee shall be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance
with this Agreement.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished upon request to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a
statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and
(a)(iv) of this Section 4.04 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee
pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto in Exhibits A, B, C and E. The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations,
integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class
may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable
minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the
Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has
so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless authenticated by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.02 hereof, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required by the
Trustee.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the
event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (other than the Depositor or an
affiliate of the Depositor) shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the
facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit I
(the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the
form of either Exhibit J (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit K (the "Rule 144A
Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the
transferor an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such transfer may
be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and
the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor, in accordance with the
Depositor's request, in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the
preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor, to the extent in its
possession, such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, and the Master Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made (other
than to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trustee shall
have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
(in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement is
satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K), to the effect
that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, or a plan or arrangement subject to any federal, state or local law
("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the
Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using
the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, (ii) in the
case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, if
the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an
insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in
an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the
purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under PTCE 95-60 or (iii)
in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code
or a plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan's or arrangement's
assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a prohibited
transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar
Law and will not subject the Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in
addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability
under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not
a Private Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the
preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to
have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial
acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other than a Residual Certificate, to or on behalf
of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without
the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer
of a Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation
in clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
Neither the Trustee, nor the Master Servicer shall be required to
monitor, determine or inquire as to the compliance with the transfer
restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trustee, nor the Master Servicer shall
have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made
through the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer
restrictions set forth herein.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under
subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an
affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of
a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other
than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered
by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
who is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv) of
the definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Transferor or the Master Servicer,
to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are
outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of
this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee,
is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies the Trustee and the
Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the
Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates agree to initiate such termination, or (z) after the occurrence of
a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners representing at least
51% of the Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together
advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is
no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee, upon
receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all Certificate Owners, through
the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall
be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of
certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to
be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Trustee
and any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of
such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such
Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the
Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor
and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that
the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any
such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange at the Corporate Trust
Office. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of
any change in such location of any such office or agency.

laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and
will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation or legal entity, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in which
such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or either
Custodian may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or either Custodian
shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the

pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master

representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad

duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Transferor, either
Custodian or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action
that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of

on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor master servicer and receipt by
the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates, (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (c) pursuant to Section 6.05. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer

Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

assumption agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written
notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and

of the rating on any Class of Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
sale, assignment or delegation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been

Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer; or
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material
respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee by the holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights
aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates; or
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and
in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is
commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days
after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or
the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its
obligations; or
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights
under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Section 6.05.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event
of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates shall, in each
case, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given
by such Certificateholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, terminate all
of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities accruing prior to the
date of termination) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the
proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing
Agreements, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the
extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO
Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02, automatically and without further
action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of (i) the Mortgage Files and all other property and
amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become
part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master
Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then,
or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may
become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it
would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of
termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master
Servicer prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any
late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to
the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which
such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i)
through (viii), and (x) and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer
hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its
activities hereunder.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in
Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the
terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be entitled to all compensation to which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled hereunder if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law
from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise
unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of
which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by
each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an
institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in
good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is
willing to master service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than
liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each
Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05 hereof, act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor master servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor master servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of the compensation permitted the Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor master servicer shall take
such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any
failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities
hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to
deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash,
information, documents or records to it.
Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice
to the Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of
its service as master servicer enforce the requirement of the Servicers to
maintain in force the policy or policies pursuant to Section 3.11.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time)
associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be
required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee
or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within
thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall
be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any
termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each
Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event
of Termination, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders
notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured
or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and
remains uncured or unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs, but only until such
time as a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed hereunder.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If
any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the
requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting,
does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which the
Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred, and be continuing, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have
been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability
and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts
or omissions of the Trustee as successor Master Servicer; and
(v) the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the
"Notices") delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of
any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans; provided that any such Notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office; and (ii) contains information sufficient to
permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which
such document related is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no
duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be
alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is
delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such
Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of
any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events
of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (iv)
shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured
to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee
may conclusively assume that there is no Master Servicer Event of
Termination; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby.
The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing,
or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to see to the provisions
of any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect
to the Trustee's execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the
Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection
Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
and may transact business with the parties hereto and their Affiliates with the
same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee shall be
compensated as separately agreed with the Master Servicer. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee, agent or "control person" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as
amended ("Control Person"), of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action
relating to (a) this Agreement (b) the Mortgage Loans or (c) the Certificates,
(ii) incurred in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder, (iii) incurred by reason of any action of the
Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (iv) resulting from
any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer,
provided that any such loss, liability or expense constitutes an "unanticipated
expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or
which would not be an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the second
preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A)
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer,
appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the
extent that the Trustee must engage such Persons to perform acts or services
hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing
any Definitive Certificates. The Trust shall fulfill its obligations under this
paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating of at least
investment grade. If such corporation or association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer
and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate
of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the
Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each
Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice
when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and
acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such
qualifications shall have been so appointed by the Depositor and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance by the successor trustee of appointment as
provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment
shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates, as
confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance by a successor trustee of appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance by the successor trustee of
appointment, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or
other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation or other entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation or
other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof,
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee (as
successor master servicer) under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf
of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held liable by reason of any act
or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not,
and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; and
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with
respect to which each REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the
Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters
relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer
covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is
hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of such REMIC and that in such
capacity it shall:
(a) prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause
to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form
adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be
prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or
local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year
with respect to such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in
such manner as may be required thereby, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption
identified in the Prospectus Supplement;
(b) apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal
Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such REMIC and
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated
as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(e) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as
to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(f) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status;
(g) not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other
than the Certificates;
(h) not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation
for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement);
(i) receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a
"qualified mortgage" nor a "permitted investment" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions;
(j) not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup
Day that would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code;
(k) not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such
disposition would be a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code;
(l) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on such REMIC prior to its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the
Master Servicer from causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(m) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
and
(n) maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the adjusted
basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code,
as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class LR
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the
holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall act
as the Tax Matters Person for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Middle Tier
REMIC, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of such
Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Master Servicer is not so
permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master Servicer shall, as and when
necessary and appropriate, represent the related REMIC in any administrative or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of
such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or
data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant
for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to
perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the
Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master
Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause
to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code, on any contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, respectively, if any such other tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises
out of or results from the Transferor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Transferor fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as
provided in Section 3.10(b).
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) With respect to each Distribution
Date, prior to the issuance of the related monthly statement to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.04 (each, a "Distribution Date
Statement"), the Master Servicer shall confirm that it has received all
distribution and servicing information required to be provided to the Master
Servicer by each Servicer for inclusion in such Distribution Date Statement. In
the event the Master Servicer determines that any such information has not been
provided as required or is materially incorrect, the Master Servicer shall
immediately notify the applicable Servicer and use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Servicer to provide or correct, as the case may be, such
information promptly (but in any event in time to permit the Master Servicer to
distribute the Distribution Date Statement at the time required in this
Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any
officer's certificate relating to any Servicer's annual compliance with the
terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of any Servicer's
independent public accountants relating to the Servicer's compliance with
servicing standards, as required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, and
(iii) any report of the Master Servicer's independent public accountants
required pursuant to Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall review such
officer's certificate and reports. As part of the Form 10-K required to be filed
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.12, the Master Servicer shall
include each such Servicer's annual statement of compliance (as well as any
annual statement of compliance required pursuant to Section 3.21), and each such
accountant's report, as well as a report of any significant deficiencies
relating to any Servicer's performance of its obligations under the applicable
Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Trust to satisfy its reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms
8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer
shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within 15
days after each Distribution Date, and shall include a copy of the Distribution
Date Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March
30th of each year beginning in March 2005 (or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder), the Master Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the annual
statements of compliance, the accountant's reports and any report of significant
deficiencies relating to any Servicer's performance of its obligations under the
applicable Servicing Agreement described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.12,
in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Master
Servicer. In accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, if such exhibits are not so timely delivered, the Master
Servicer shall (i) file the balance of the Form 10-K, indicating on the cover
page thereof which of such exhibits are omitted, and (ii) no later than one
Business Day after the due date for Form 10-K, file a Form 12b-25, notifying the
Securities and Exchange Commission of its inability to timely file all or any
required portion of Form 10-K. No later than the fifteenth calendar day after
the due date for Form 10-K, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent in its
possession, file such exhibits with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If
the Master Servicer has not received such exhibits by such fifteenth calendar
day, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor. The Master Servicer shall
have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such
periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer's inability
or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct. Each Form 10-K shall also include a certification
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M or in such other form as may be
required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and
any directives or interpretations thereof by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Certification"), which Certification shall be signed by a
Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such
executed report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Master
Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust unless instructed by
the Depositor not to do so.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of All
Mortgage Loans. (a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the
earlier of (i) the purchase, in accordance with this Section 9.01, of all
Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price
equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for all
the Mortgage Loans and (y) the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for
all the REO Properties, and (ii) the later of (x) the maturity or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (y) the
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of
the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii)
the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right of the Master Servicer to elect to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conditioned upon
the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase,
aggregating less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate Cut off Date Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Within two (2) Business Days after the Master Servicer has
elected to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a), the Master
Servicer shall deliver a bid notice for the Mortgage Loans and the REO
Properties to UBS Securities LLC and at least two other institutions that are
regular purchasers and/or sellers in the secondary market of residential whole
mortgage loans. The bid notice shall specify the Mortgage Loans and the REO
Properties that are being sold, identify the aggregate Clean-up Call REO
Property Price required to be paid for the REO Properties and the other
information necessary for the bidders to make bids. The Master Servicer shall
also be entitled to submit a bid for the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties.
All bids must be submitted to the Master Servicer on a date determined by the
Master Servicer, which date shall be set forth in the bid notice. Only cash bids
may be accepted. With respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if one or
more bids that exceed the aggregate Par Call Price are received, the Fair Market
Value Call Price for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal to the price bid by the
highest bidder, and such bidder shall complete the purchase of the related
Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties from the Trust Fund at the aggregate
Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for the Mortgage Loans and the aggregate
Clean-up Call REO Property Price for such REO Properties before the final
Distribution Date. With respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if fewer
than three bids are received or no cash bid exceeds the aggregate of the Par
Call Price for the Mortgage Loans, the Fair Market Value Call Price shall be
zero and the Master Servicer shall complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loans
and the REO Properties from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean-up Call
Mortgage Loan Price for the Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO
Property Price for the REO Properties before the final Distribution Date.
Section 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any
Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee
promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each Certificateholder. If
the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of
Section 9.01, at least 25 days prior to the date Notice of Final Distribution is
to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to
terminate the Trust Fund.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later
than the 5th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of
Final Distribution shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final
distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of
Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the location of the office or
agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (c) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice
to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the
order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each related
Class of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus
accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, in the case of the
Interest Only Certificates) and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, that remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than
the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i)
above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC that remain subject hereto and (i) the Class A-LR
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of
the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled
to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Middle-Tier REMIC and the
Upper-Tier REMIC, in each case, that remain subject hereto.
Section 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event
the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01,
the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply
with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii)
cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.02 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation of the REMICs as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier,
the date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders).
The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a statement attached
to the final tax return of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier
REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for
cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and shall distribute
such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner specified in
Section 9.02.

adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders
if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency
stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of
the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood
and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The
Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Custodians and the Master Servicer
also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the
consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the
qualification of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier

such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
Section 8.12 of this Agreement may also be amended by the Depositor,
the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders, and without the need for any Opinions of Counsel
(other than the tax opinion described below) or Rating Agency confirmation, in
the event that new guidelines or procedures are issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to the preparation and filing of Form 10-K and
the Certification required to be attached thereto as referenced in Section
8.12(d).
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the

with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates
in a manner other than as described in the preceding clause (i), without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid
percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then
outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement (other than
pursuant to the second preceding paragraph) unless it shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which
opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not
cause the imposition of any tax under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC or the
Certificateholders or cause any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
(which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund),
satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not
prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this
Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not
required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.
Section 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement

of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public
office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at
the expense of the Trust on direction by the Trustee (acting at the written
direction of a Majority in Interest of the Certificateholders), but only upon

recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

Section 10.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is,

shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security
interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholder.

written consent of the Trustee and Depositor. Pursuant to Section 6.05, the
Master Servicer shall be permitted to pledge its rights as servicer hereunder to

created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of

of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and of the continuance thereof, as
herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made
written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and

after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each

one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever

and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as
can be given either at law or in equity.

agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit and will cause each
Servicer to permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the
Master Servicer's or Servicer's, as the case may be, normal business hours, to
examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the

Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited
by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or the
Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the
Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants
(and by this provision the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as the case may be,
hereby authorize said accountants to discuss with such representative such
affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as
may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise
by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be
borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be
borne by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer.

intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the

on the property therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free and
clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of
the Mortgage except for liens for real estate taxes and special
assessments not yet due and payable and liens or interests arising under
or as a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, and, if the related
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges
permitted by statute or homeowners association fees; and if the Mortgaged
Property consists of shares of a cooperative housing corporation, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative

and subsisting first lien on the property described therein and the
Transferor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee;

the related Mortgage Note has modified the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated
the Mortgage in whole or in part, released the Mortgaged Property in whole

(v) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, and

obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(xi) All payments required to be made up to but not including the
Due Date immediately preceding the Cut Off Date for such Mortgage Loan
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note have been made, and no
payment under any Mortgage Loan has been 30 days delinquent more than one
time within twelve months prior to the Closing Date;
(xii) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and other agreements
executed in connection therewith are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law); and, to the best of the Transferor's knowledge, all
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to
execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage has been duly and properly executed by the Mortgagor;

material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws,

home loans defined as "covered home loans" pursuant to clause (1) of the
definition of that term in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of
2002), "high risk home" or "predatory" loan under any applicable state,

all costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the
Mortgage Loan have been paid, except recording fees with respect to
Mortgages not recorded as of the Closing Date;
(xvi) The Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a
Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction, as to which an opinion of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title insurance is instead received) is covered by an American Land Title
Association mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring
the originator, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien
of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and
subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record
as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is
located or specifically referred to in the appraisal performed in
connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, (C) liens
created pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or
ordinance affording liens for the costs of clean up of hazardous
substances or hazardous wastes or for other environmental protection
purposes and (D) such other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage; the Transferor is the sole insured of such mortgagee title
insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Transferor's
interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any
consent of or notification to the insurer which has not been obtained or
made, such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force and effect
and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, no claims have been made under such mortgagee title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the
Transferor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy;
(xvii) The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured
by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire
and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage
endorsement, in an amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event less than the minimum amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis; if the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included
under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project; if upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the Mortgaged
Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the
least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B)
the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum
amount of insurance which was available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, as amended; and each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense;
(xviii) To the best of the Transferor's knowledge, no foreclosure
action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to the
Mortgage Loan and the Transferor has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration;
(xix) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of
rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim
or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(xx) Each Mortgage Note is payable in monthly payments, resulting in
complete amortization of the Mortgage Loan over a term of not more than
360 months;
(xxi) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including realization by judicial foreclosure (subject to any
limitation arising from any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law for the
relief of debtors), and there is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with such right of foreclosure;
(xxii) To the best of the Transferor's knowledge, no Mortgagor is a
debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

residential property, which may include a detached home, townhouse,
condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development or, in the case
of Mortgage Loans secured by co op shares, leases or occupancy agreements;

meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(xxv) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note, the
related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence;
(xxvi) In the event that the Mortgagor is an inter vivos "living"
trust, (i) such trust is in compliance with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
standards for inter vivos trusts and (ii) holding title to the Mortgaged
Property in such trust will not diminish any rights as a creditor
including the right to full title to the Mortgaged Property in the event
foreclosure proceedings are initiated;
(xxvii) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent
and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide
the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or (b)
allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as the Mortgage is in existence; (4) the term of such lease does
not terminate earlier than five years after the maturity date of the
Mortgage Note; and (5) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction
in which the use of leasehold estates in transferring ownership in
residential properties is a widely accepted practice;
(xxviii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203
and 211 of the National Housing Act, as amended, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority;
(xxix) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting guidelines of the related Loan Seller in effect at the time
of origination with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner;
(xxx) The Loan Seller used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first-lien,
residential mortgage loans owned by it which were available for sale to
the Transferor;
(xxxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Transferor is in
possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents which have
been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for recording
and not yet returned;
(xxxii) As of the Cut-off Date, the range of original Loan-to-Value
Ratios of the Mortgage Loans is 13.33% to 100.00%, and 162 Mortgage Loans,
representing 5.97% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance, had Loan-to-Value
Ratios at origination in excess of 80%. Each such Mortgage Loan is subject
to a Primary Insurance Policy;
(xxxiii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Servicing
Agreement requires the related Servicer to deposit into the related
Protected Account an amount equal to all payments of principal and
interest on such Mortgage Loan that are delinquent at the close of
business on the related Determination Date and not previously advanced by
such Servicer. The obligation of such Servicer to advance such payments as
to such Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or
liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless such Servicer deems such
advance to be nonrecoverable from liquidation proceeds, REO disposition
proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds with respect to such
Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment
penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and, at the
time such Mortgage Loan was originated, each prepayment penalty complied
with applicable federal, state and local law, subject to federal
preemption where applicable;
(xxxv) There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after
October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, which is secured by property
located in the State of Georgia. There is no Mortgage Loan that was
originated on or after March 7, 2003, which is a "high cost home loan" as
defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act;
(xxxvi) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan underlying the security
were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies;
(xxxvii) No subprime Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
2002 will impose a prepayment premium for a term in excess of three years.
Any Mortgage Loans originated prior to such date, and any non-subprime
loans, will not impose prepayment penalties in excess of five years;
(xxxviii) The Servicer for each Mortgage Loan has fully furnished,
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and
unfavorable) on its borrower credit filed to Equifax, Experian, and Trans
Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a
monthly basis; and
(xxxix) The original principal balance of each Group 7 Mortgage Loan
is within Xxxxxxx Mac's dollar amount limits for conforming one-to

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such

Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is
to be made within three years from the date of the initial issuance of
Certificates pursuant hereto, there shall also be delivered (except in the case
of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act) to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from

hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation (letter) from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or
a plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a person acting on
behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Servicer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the

(or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any
such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding
of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction
within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and
will not subject the Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in the Agreement or to any liability under ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or Similar Law, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Servicer. (Such representation shall be deemed to have been
made to the Trustee by the Transferee's acceptance of a Certificate of this
Class and by a beneficial owner's acceptance of its interest in a Certificate of
this Class.) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf of an employee benefit
plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc. MASTR Adjustable
Rate Mortgages Trust 2004-3, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"),
and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the
25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution
on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Office of the Trustee or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Transferor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Certificateholders affected by such amendment evidencing the
requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances
of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will have the option to purchase, in
whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or
the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named
in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

FORM OF RESIDUAL CERTIFICATE TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
MASTR ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGES TRUST 2004-3
Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2004-3
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______, the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Class [A-LR] [A-R] Certificate (the "Certificate")
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 2004
(the "Agreement") among Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc., as
depositor, UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., as transferor (the "Transferor"),
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer and a custodian (the "Master
Servicer"), U.S. Bank National Association, as a custodian, and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein
or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will
be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are Disqualified
Organizations; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for
a Person that is a Disqualified Organization, on the agent; and (iii) the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent
Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization and, at the time of Transfer, such
Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a Disqualified
Organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that
such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false; provided,
that a pass-through entity which is an "electing large partnership" under the
Code will be subject to tax in all events. (For this purpose, a "pass-through
entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.) The
Transferee further understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to
the holding of the Certificate in excess of cash flows generated thereby.
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference)
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person
to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have become
due and intends to do so in the future. The Transferee understands that the
taxable income and tax liability with respect to this Certificate will exceed
distributions with respect to the Certificate in some or all periods and intends
to pay all taxes with respect to the Certificate as they become due.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30)
or is not a U.S. Person and has furnished the Transferor and the Trustee with a
duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any applicable successor
form.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income with respect to the Certificate
to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within
the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other
United States Person.
12. Check one of the following paragraphs:
[_] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to
acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with
holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest
rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the
Transferee.
[_] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S.
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income
from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee's
two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee
had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any
obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning
of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess
of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the
requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire
the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and
loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates
and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined
in good faith.
[_] None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan
subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to
the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on behalf of such a plan.
* * *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this ____________ day of __________________, 200_.

Certain Definitions
"Disqualified Organization": A Person specified in clauses (i)-(iv) of the
definition of "Permitted Transferee."
"Ownership Interest": As to any Residual Certificate, any ownership
interest in such Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the
Holder thereof and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal
or beneficial.
"Permitted Transferee": Any person other than (i) the United States, any
State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any
of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any
agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization
(except certain farmers' cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code)
which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax

excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(l) of the Code) with respect to
any Residual Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) a Person that is not a

provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision
thereof, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax
purposes regardless of its source or a trust if a court within the United States
is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and
one or more persons described in this clause (v) have the authority to control
all substantial decisions of the trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable
Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are
eligible to elect to be treated as United States persons) unless such Person has

Organization" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or
successor provisions. A corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights
of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on
the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates
required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the
Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of
the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for
whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is
not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the
definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Loan Seller, the
Transferors or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause a REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of
any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of
Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is
not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
