This
TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), is by and among
STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor
(the “Depositor”), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, as master servicer (the “Master
Servicer”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking corporation, as
securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings (the
“Seller”), and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the
other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion in the Trust
Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from
the
Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage
Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has
duly
authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the
conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property
constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund
are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer are entering
into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund created hereby,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged.
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (other than the
rights to Prepayment Penalty Amounts or the Funding Account) be treated for
federal income tax purposes as comprising seven real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, REMIC I-1, REMIC I-2, REMIC
I-3, REMIC II-1 and REMIC II-2). As
is
described in Section 10.01 hereof, the Trust Fund will also be treated for
federal income tax purposes as including six grantor trusts.
Group
I REMICs
REMIC

REMIC

shall hold as its assets all rights related to Mortgage Group I (other than

Each
of
the REMIC I-1 Interests set forth below (other than the Class LTI1-R Interest)
is referred to herein as a REMIC I-1 Regular Interest and is hereby designated
as a regular interest in REMIC I-1. The Class LTI1-R Interest is hereby
designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC I-1.

For
any Distribution Date, the interest rate for these interests shall
be a
per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage
Rates of
all the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Group I at the beginning of the
related
Due Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Scheduled Principal
Balances.
|
|
(2)
|
For
any Distribution Date, the interest rate for the Class LTI1-1B Interest
shall be the Net WAC for Pool 1 for such Distribution
Date.
|
|
(3)
|
For
any Distribution Date, the interest rate for the Class LTI1-2B Interest
shall be the Net WAC for Pool 2 for such Distribution
Date.
|
|
(4)
|
For
any Distribution Date, the interest rate for the Class LTI1-3B Interest
shall be the Net WAC for Pool 3 for such Distribution
Date.
|
|
(5)
|
The
Class LTI1-R Interest shall represent the sole class of residual
interest
in REMIC I-1. The Class LTI1-R Interest will not have a principal
amount
or an interest rate. The Class LTI1-R Interest shall be represented
by the
Class R Certificate.
|
Distributions
shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC I-1 Regular Interests first, so as
to
keep the uncertificated principal balance of each REMIC I-1 Regular Interest
ending with the designation “B” equal to 1% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool; second, to each
REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “A” so that the
uncertificated principal balance of each such REMIC I-1 Regular Interest is
equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool over (y) the aggregate Class
Principal Amounts of the Certificate Group related to such Mortgage Pool (except
that if 1% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the
corresponding REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “A”, the
least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I-1 Regular
Interests such that the REMIC I-1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained);
and
finally, any remaining principal to the Class LTI1-Z Interest. Realized Losses
shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution
Date first, so as to keep the uncertificated principal balance of each REMIC
I-1
Regular Interest ending with the designation “B” equal to 1% of the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool;
second, to each REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “A” so
that the uncertificated principal balance of each such REMIC I-1 Regular
Interest is equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool over (y) the
aggregate Class Principal Amounts of the Certificate Group related to such
Mortgage Pool (except that if 1% of any such excess is greater than the
principal amount of the corresponding REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending with
the
designation “A”, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be allocated to such
REMIC I-1 Regular Interests such that the REMIC I-1 Subordinated Balance Ratio
is maintained); and third, the remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated
to
the Class LTI1-Z Interest. All computations with respect to any REMIC I-1
Interest shall be taken out to eight decimal places.
2
If
on any
Distribution Date there is an increase in the Certificate Principal Amount
of
any Class of Group I Certificates as a result of the proviso in the definition
of Certificate Principal Amount, then, prior to distributions of principal
and
allocations of losses on such Distribution Date with respect to REMIC I-1,
there
shall be a corresponding increase in the principal amount of the REMIC I-1
Regular Interests, with such increase allocated among the REMIC I-1 Regular
Interests as follows: (i) first, to each REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending
with
the designation “B” so as to keep the uncertificated principal balance of such
REMIC I-1 Regular Interest equal to 1% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, (ii) second, to
each
REMIC I-1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “A”, so that the
uncertificated principal balance of each such REMIC I-1 Regular Interest is
as
close as possible to (but does not exceed) 1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate
Scheduled Principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool
over (y) the aggregate Class Principal Amounts of the Senior Certificates of
the
Certificate Group related to such Mortgage Pool; provided, however, that (a)
the
REMIC I-1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained and (b) amounts allocated
to
any REMIC I-1 Regular Interest pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not exceed
the
amount of any previous realized losses allocated to such REMIC I-1 Regular
Interest not previously offset by distributions or increases in the principal
amount of such REMIC I-1 Regular Interest and (iii) finally, all remaining
increases are allocated to the Class LTI1-Z Interest.

Sale Agreement; including all rights of the Seller under the applicable
Servicing Agreement to the extent assigned under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled
to

In
addition, with respect to any Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan, the Depositor does

the
case of a delay due to recording, a true copy of such Mortgage, pending delivery

recourse for each Mortgage Loan;
(vi) if

or their equivalent that cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such document
has
been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such document, pending delivery
of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor

respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Loan Documents.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement attached
hereto as Exhibit B-4 is intended to effect the transfer to the Trustee, for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders, of the Mortgage Notes and the
Mortgages.
With
respect to each Participation, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit
with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee, and/or any
custodian acting on the Trustee’s behalf, a copy of the Participation Agreement
and the original Participation issued to the Trustee.

of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative
Loan shall be recorded; provided, however, that such Assignments need not be
recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent counsel)
acceptable to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, recording in such states
is
not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Non-MERS Mortgage
Loans. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the
Closing Date (but in no event more than 3 months thereafter except to the extent
delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Master Servicer
(or
its Custodian), at the expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of
the
applicable Servicer, shall cause to be properly recorded by such Servicer in
each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded each
Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection (b)(v) above with respect
to a
Non-MERS Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Master
Servicer (or its Custodian), at the expense of the Depositor and with the
cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause such Servicer to take such
actions as are necessary under applicable law in order to perfect the interest
of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.
49
(ii) With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (or its applicable
Custodian), at the expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of the
applicable Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions by such Servicer
as
are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of
each
such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by
MERS.
(d) In
instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the
Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under clause
(b)(viii) above and is not so delivered, the Depositor will provide a copy
of
such Title Insurance Policy to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, as promptly as practicable after the execution and
delivery hereof, but in any case within 180 days of the Closing
Date.
(e) For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment
that
are required to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account pursuant
to
Section 4.01 have been so deposited. All original documents that are not

shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in trust for
the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

Acceptance
of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust
Fund.
|
(a) The
Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, by execution
and
delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt of the Participations and the Mortgage
Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
subject to review thereof by the Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the applicable
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Trustee,
the
Depositor and the Master Servicer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the
applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).
50
(b) Within
45 days after the Closing Date, the applicable Custodian will, on behalf of
the
Trustee and for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates, review each Mortgage
File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have
been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures
by or
on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Trustee,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer an Interim Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable
Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such
certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable
documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall make
sure that the documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty
or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding,
legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in
recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any responsibility for
verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any
signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.
(c) If
in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or
the
applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material
Defect relates in the Interim Certificate delivered to the Depositor or the
Master Servicer (and to the Trustee). Within 90 days of its receipt of such
notice, the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and,
in
such event, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s
Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Depositor
does
not so cure such Material Defect, it shall, if a loss has been incurred with
respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not
purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is
attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material Defect,
repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price.
A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor to
cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement
with the Servicer acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss
would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing
Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05. The failure of the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein
within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Depositor
of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.02
or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage
Loans from the Trust Fund.
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian,
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Final
Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-3 (or in
the
form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-3, as
applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession
or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.
51
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim
or
other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.
(f) Each
of the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall hold
the
related Mortgage Files and shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage
Loans and deliver the respective certifications thereof as provided in this
Section 2.02 and the related Custodial Agreement.

conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement,
and
to create the trust pursuant hereto;
(ii) the
execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Depositor;
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation
of
the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof,
will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under,
any
of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree
or
order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
(iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking
of
any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental
authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken
prior to the date hereof;
(iv) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer, constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms
except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and
insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights
of creditors generally and (B) general principles of equity regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law;
52
(v) there
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Depositor, threatened or likely to be asserted against or affecting the
Depositor, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or

by
this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in the judgment
of
the Depositor will be determined adversely to the Depositor and will if
determined adversely to the Depositor materially and adversely affect it or
its
business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or adversely
affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
and
(vi) immediately
prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee,
the
Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and
the
Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer
and sell each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only to
(1)
liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable
and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for
common charges permitted by statute, (2) 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 related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically
referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance Policy or attorney’s opinion of
title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan,
and (3) 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, of any encumbrance,
equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest, and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement, which have been assigned
to
the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the applicable
Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer Agreement is
in
the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the extent that any fact,
condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of
both
(i) a representation or warranty of the applicable Transferor under the
applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of Xxxxxx
Brothers Holdings under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or
remedy of the Trustee or of any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee’s right
to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor under any applicable
representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee acknowledges that Xxxxxx
Brothers Holdings shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any
breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage
Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also constitutes
a breach of a representation or warranty made by the applicable Transferor
in
the applicable Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether such Transferor
fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or
warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or
warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.

Discovery
of Breach.
|
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) set forth
in
Section 2.03, (ii) of Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder and (iii)
of each Transferor, assigned by Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings to the Depositor
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by
the
Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the
Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by either the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of such representations
and warranties that adversely and materially affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of
any
representation or warranty given or assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor,
any Transferor, or Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings, the Depositor, such Transferor,
or
Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings, as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach
in
all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property
acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within
the two year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of
discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of any Transferor
assigned to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under the
applicable Transfer Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for the
benefit of Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
if any Transferor substitutes for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a breach
of
any representations and warranties in the related Transfer Agreement which
adversely and materially affects the value of such Mortgage Loan and such
substitute mortgage loan is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, under
the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings will, in
exchange for such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase
Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the
Closing Date, substitute such affected Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan.

|
(a) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement, by Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings pursuant to the applicable Mortgage
Loan
Sale Agreement or by any Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer
Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by the Master Servicer
in
respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal
Prepayment and shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
4.01. The Trustee, upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for
a
Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of notification from the related
Custodian that it received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable
Substitution Amount), shall release or cause to be released to the Depositor,
Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings or the applicable Transferor, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such
party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other
encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared
by
the Trustee (or a Custodian), and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted
Mortgage Loan.
54
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or a Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange
for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the applicable Transferor,
or
Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or its
custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written
certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing
the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor
will
be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan,
each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the
related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of
any
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the
expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the
applicable Servicer, shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to
be
recorded by such Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i), or (ii)
with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, cause to be taken such actions by such Servicer as are necessary to cause
the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan
on
the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii).
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations
that
no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at
the
expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current
law,
such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC
established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related “regular interests” as
“regular interests” in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in
a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions. The Depositor shall cause the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Grant
Clause.
|
It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (i) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the Certificates a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting
the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and (iii) this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance
is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the Trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any
Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force
and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the
benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein
provided.

of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal
Amount or Notional Principal Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage
Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional
Amount) or Percentage Interest specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto
and
in integral multiples of $1 or 5% (in the case of Certificates issued in
Percentage Interests) in excess thereof. Each Class of Non-Book Entry
Certificates other than the Residual Certificate shall be issued in definitive,
fully registered form in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal
Amount (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and
in
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual Certificate shall
be
issued as a single Certificate and maintained in definitive, fully registered
form in a minimum denomination equal to $100. Each of the Class P Certificates
shall be maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a minimum

Class
of Residual Certificates may be issued in any denomination in excess of the
minimum denomination.
(b) The

Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be
authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor upon
receipt by the Trustee of the Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an
authorized officer of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual
signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the
date
of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed
by the Depositor to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication
and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver
such
Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

global Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest
coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A added to the forms

|
Registration.
|
The
Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment
as, the initial Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall
maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the
“Certificate Register”). A registration book shall be maintained for the
Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged
or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the
procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with
respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint,
by a
written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank
or
trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar
shall
not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason
of
such appointment.
|
Section
3.03.
|
Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate being
transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of
Certificates.
57
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate surrendered,
upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of
transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such
form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered
upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled
to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent
shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security,
whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such
a
Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate
set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only
as
provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such
Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at
the
time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such
Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that (x) until
the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning
of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates
or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the
account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y)
if in
the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such
Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise
transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a
“qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or
for
the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that
the
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore
transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions
of
Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this
Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions
specified in this Section.
58
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or the Placement Agent, an
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) of the Depositor or the
Placement Agent or (y) being made to a QIB by a transferor that has provided
the
Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto;
and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act by a transferor who furnishes to the
Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form
of
Exhibit G hereto.
(d) No
Transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Residual Certificate will
be
registered unless the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
receive (A) a representation as set forth in Exhibit D-1 for Residual
Certificates or Exhibit H for ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the effect that
such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title
I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any
provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or
regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the Code (“Similar Law”) (collectively, a “Plan”), and is not directly or
indirectly acquiring the Class R Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any
assets of any such Plan, or (B) solely in the case of ERISA-Restricted
Certificates (I) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a representation as set forth in Exhibit H that such transferee
is
an insurance company that is acquiring the Certificate with assets contained
in
an “insurance company general account,” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of
the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60,
or (II) solely in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a
Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, and upon which the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall be entitled to rely, to the effect
that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will not constitute or
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a
violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition
to
those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor.
Except
in
the case of a Definitive Certificate, the representations set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph, other than clause (B)(II) in the immediately
preceding paragraph, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor by the transferee’s acceptance of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Residual Certificate (or the acceptance by
a
Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA-Restricted
Certificates or a Residual Certificate). The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
and the Depositor shall not have any obligation to monitor transfers of
Book-Entry Certificates or Restricted Global Securities that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates or Residual Certificates or any liability for
transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer
restrictions.
59
Notwithstanding
any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan
without the delivery to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee (or
its
custodian), the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor as described above
shall
be void and of no effect. The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor shall not have any liability to any Person for any registration or
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate that is
in
fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any liability 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. The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall
be
entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such
Certificate in violation of this Section 3.03(d) all payments made on such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding.
Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding
Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(e) As
a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate,
the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require
such
payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable.
No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration,
transfer or exchange of Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless, in the case of clause (ii), such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person
or
(B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished
the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code
(any
such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein
as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).
60
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee
acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed
transferor shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a
condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of
an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that such
proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee,
the
proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration
in
the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a
Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed
to
be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed
to
be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. Neither the Trustee
nor the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any person for
any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or
for
the maturity of any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder
thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance
with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
shall
have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment
or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate
that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became
a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
such
times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees,
incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs
and
expenses) so recovered by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be
paid
and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual
Certificate.
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of
written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that the registration
of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of
transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate
Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(f), for making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder
thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt
of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section
3.03(f).
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be
deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this
section.
61
(h) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing
any of the Class B5-I, Class B6-I, Class B7-I, Class B5-II, Class B6-II or
Class
B7-II Certificates remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC,
transfers of a Global Security representing any such Certificates, in whole
or
in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.01 and this Section
3.03(h).
(A) Subject
to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global Security
representing any of the Class B5-I, Class B6-I, Class B7-I, Class B5-II, Class
B6-II or Class B7-II or Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such
Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor
of
DTC or such successor’s nominee.
(B) Restricted
Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such
Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security,
or
to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation
S
Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. person, may,
subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange
of
such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from
DTC directing the Certificate Registrar, to be credited a beneficial interest
in
a Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest
in
such Restricted Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum
denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held through a Regulation
S Global Security, (II) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC
and,
in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S,
the
Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (III)
a
certificate in the form of Exhibit L-1 hereto given by the holder of such
beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest
has
been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global
Securities, including that the holder is not a U.S. person, and pursuant to
and
in accordance with Regulation S, the Certificate Registrar, shall reduce the
principal amount of the Restricted Global Security and increase the principal
amount of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount
of
the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged,
and
shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently with such
reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Restricted Global
Security.
62
(C) Regulation
S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited
with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such
Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof
in
the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder may,
subject to the rules and procedures DTC, exchange or cause the exchange of
such
interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security.
Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from DTC
directing the Certificate Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial
interest in a Restricted Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial
interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged but not less
than
the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held through a
Restricted Global Security, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain
information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with
such
increase, and (II) a certificate in the form of Exhibit L-2 hereto given by
the
holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that the
Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security
reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Restricted
Global Security is a QIB, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction
meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any State of the United States or any other jurisdiction,
then the Certificate Registrar, will reduce the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted
Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest
in
the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred and the Certificate
Registrar, shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit
or
cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions
a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security equal to the reduction
in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.
(D) Other
Exchanges.
In the
event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificates in definitive
registered form without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 3.09(c) hereof,
such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with
such
procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including
certification requirements intended to insure that such transfers comply with
Rule 144A, comply with Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) or are to Non-U.S.
Persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Act, as the case may be),
and
as may be from time to time adopted by the Certificate Registrar.
(E) Restrictions
on U.S. Transfers.
Transfers of interests in the Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons
(as
defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.03(h)(C).

Replacement
of Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor and any Authenticating
Agent that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by
a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee and Authenticating Agent may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which
they
are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates.
(b) If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of
Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
Definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder.
Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefore a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount
of

Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
The
Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose
of
making distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Securities
Administrator is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as Paying
Agent in respect of the Certificates. The Trustee shall cause such Paying Agent
(if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent
will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in an
Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds
remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date
and
any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the
Trustee. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to
be
remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds
to
be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either
a
bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate
trust powers. To the extent that the Paying Agent is a Person not otherwise
already subject to the reporting obligations under Regulation AB with respect
to
the Trust Fund, such Person shall comply with such obligations in form and
substance similar to those of the Securities Administrator pursuant to Sections
6.01, 6.23 and 9.25 and 9.26.

Book-Entry
Certificates.
|
(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a
Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the
Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless
Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency
for
all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry
Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and
the Clearing Agency shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such
distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance
with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;
65
(iii) to
the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c) If
(i) (A) the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the
Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Depositor, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after
the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial
interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a
Class
of Book-Entry Certificates identified as such to the Trustee by an Officer’s
Certificate from the Clearing Agency advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency
through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of
a
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests
of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Trustee
shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to notify the Clearing Agency
to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency,
of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied
by
registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee
shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall
recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain
a
segregated account held in trust (the “Collection Account”), entitled “Aurora

Account. No later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on each Deposit Date, the
entire amount on deposit in the Collection Account (subject to permitted
withdrawals set forth in Section 4.02), not including any amounts which are

be excluded from the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date
pursuant to clauses (A) through (H) of paragraph (i) of the definition thereof
(other than any amounts due or reimbursable to the Trustee, the Custodians
or
the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement), shall be remitted
to
the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Certificate Account by wire
transfer in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer, at its option,
may
choose to make daily remittances from the Collection Account to the Securities
Administrator for deposit into the Certificate Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, no later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date,
any
amounts representing Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the
Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date.
Thereafter, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the

Business Days following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or
payments made by it (other than in respect of principal of and interest on
the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date):
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and late
collections, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans (other than payments
due
prior to the Cut-off Date), net of the applicable Servicing Fee and Master
Servicing Fee with respect to each such Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent
of
the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account
in
accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21;
(iii) any
unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect to a Mortgage Loan not
otherwise specified in this paragraph (d), including any Subsequent Recovery,
all Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Property, and all amounts received in connection with the operation of any
REO
Property, net of any unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees with
respect to such Mortgage Loans, but only to the extent of the amount permitted
to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account in accordance with
Sections 5.04 and 9.21;

(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer pursuant to
Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(vi) all
Prepayment Penalty Amounts; and

proceeds of any Mortgage Loan purchased by any Person.
(e) Funds
in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments (selected
by
and at the written direction of the Master Servicer) which shall mature not
later than one Business Day prior to the Deposit Date (except that if such
Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee or the Paying Agent, if
other than the Trustee, and such Collection Account is maintained with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, then such Eligible
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Deposit Date), and any
such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.
All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Master Servicer
in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and Holders of Structured Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loan Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-3.
All
income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit
of
the Master Servicer, while such Collection Account is maintained by the Master
Servicer, and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time
and
shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account
by
the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement
therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in
the
Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in
the
Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges or
assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection
Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer
as
additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.

Section
4.02.
|
Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
|
The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals
from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances made by it or by such Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; the Master
Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited
to amounts received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including,
for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance
Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which
represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master
Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such
Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement,
that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Certificateholders;
68
(ii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for any Advances or Servicing Advances made
by
it or by such Servicer that it or such Servicer determines in good faith will
not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of
principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such
Advance or Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood, in the case
of
any such reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(iii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation
Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(a)
or
the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the
restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds
after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master
Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date
of
its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess
the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other
Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess
remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood,
in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or
Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders;
(iv) in
the event it has elected not to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee out of
any
Mortgagor payment on account of interest or other recovery with respect to
a
particular Mortgage Loan prior to the deposit of such Mortgagor payment or
recovery in the Collection Account, to pay to itself the Master Servicing Fee
for each Distribution Date and any unpaid Master Servicing Fees for prior
Distribution Dates, as reduced pursuant to Section 5.05, from any Mortgagor
payment as to interest or such other recovery with respect to that Mortgage
Loan, as is permitted by this Agreement;
(v) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by
or
reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, 9.06, 9.16 or
9.22(a) or pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement (to the extent such
reimbursement constitutes “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), and to reimburse itself for
any
expenses reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(c);
69
(vi) to
pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property
acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased by such Person pursuant
to
this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date
on
which the related repurchase was effected;
(vii) subject
to Section 5.04, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(viii) to
make payments to the Securities Administrator on each Deposit Date for deposit
into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in
Section 4.04;
(ix) to
make payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of
this
Agreement and to reimburse the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement,
but only to the extent that the items reimbursed constitute “unanticipated
expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii);
(x) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xi) to
clear and terminate any Collection Account pursuant to Section
7.02;
(xii) to
reimburse a successor Master Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor
Master Servicer, including the Securities Administrator), for any fee or advance
occasioned by a termination of the Master Servicer, and the assumption of such
duties by the Securities Administrator or a successor Master Servicer appointed
by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 6.14, in each case to the
extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood,
in
the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of the Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator thereto shall be prior to the rights
of
the Certificateholders; and
(xiii) to
reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable
Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer
to
the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement provided such amounts are
Servicing Fees or “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
If
provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer shall be entitled
to
retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest Excess
(to
the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls). The Servicers of
the
Participations shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation
any Prepayment Penalty Amounts received with respect to the
Participations.
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi)
above, the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The Master
Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each
Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclause (i), (iii),
(iv) and (vi).
70
In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to remit to the
Securities Administrator any amounts required to be so remitted to the
Securities Administrator pursuant to sub-clause (viii) by such date, the
Master Servicer shall pay the Securities Administrator, for the account of
the
Securities Administrator, interest calculated at the “prime rate” (as published
in the “Money Rates” section of The
Wall Street Journal)
on such
amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Deposit
Date
to but not including the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall
only be required to pay the Securities Administrator interest for the actual
number of days such amounts are not timely remitted (e.g.,
one
day’s interest, if such amounts are remitted one day after the Deposit
Date).

(or, to the extent that such information or documentation is not required to
be
provided by a Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain such information and documentation from such
Servicer, and provide) to such Certificateholder such reports and access to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such
Certificateholder may reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or other
regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such
Certificateholder for such Master Servicer’s actual expenses incurred in
providing such reports and access.
73
(c) Within
90 days, or such shorter period as may be required by statute or regulation,
after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall have
prepared and shall make available, upon written request, to each Person who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of record, and make
available to Certificate Owners (identified as such by the Clearing Agency)

be
required to enable such Holders to prepare their federal income tax returns.
Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount accrued
on
each Class of Certificates and information regarding the expenses of the Trust
Fund. The Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have satisfied this
requirement if it forwards such information in any other format permitted by

Mortgage Loan level information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator
to prepare such reports.

Certificate
Account.
|
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, as securities
administrator, a trust account (the “Certificate Account”), to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders until disbursed pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. The Certificate Account shall be an Eligible Account. If
the
existing Certificate Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Securities
Administrator shall establish a new Certificate Account that is an Eligible
Account within 20 Business Days and transfer all funds on deposit in such
existing Certificate Account into such new Certificate Account. The Certificate
Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued hereunder and funds
in
the Certificate Account shall be held separate and apart from and shall not
be
commingled with any other monies including, without limitation, other monies
of
the Securities Administrator held under this Agreement.
(b) The
Securities Administrator shall cause to be deposited into the Certificate
Account on the day on which, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following the day on which, any monies are remitted by the
Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator all such amounts. The Securities
Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Certificate Account only for
the
following purposes:
(i) to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
(ii) to
pay itself the Securities Administrator Fee and any investment income earned
with respect to funds in the Certificate Account invested in Eligible
Investments as set forth in subsection (c) below, and to make payments to
itself, the Trustee and others prior to making distributions pursuant to Section
5.02 for any expenses or other indemnification owing to itself, the Trustee
and
others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (to the extent payment of
such expenses or other indemnification constitutes “unanticipated expenses”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii));
(iii) to
make payments of the Master Servicing Fee (to the extent not already withheld
or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer) to the Master
Servicer;
(iv) to
make distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant to Article V;
and
(v) to
clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
7.02.
74
(c) The
Securities Administrator may invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in
the
Certificate Account, which funds, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible
Investments (which may be obligations of the Securities Administrator). All
such
investments must mature no later than the next Distribution Date, and shall
not
be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments
will be made in the name of the Securities Administrator (in its capacity as
such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment
shall be paid to the Securities Administrator and shall be subject to its
withdrawal on order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Securities Administrator
for deposit in the Certificate Account out of its own funds, without any right
of reimbursement therefore, immediately as realized. Funds held in the
Certificate Account that are not invested shall be held in cash.

Distributions
Generally.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 7.01 with respect to the final distribution on the Certificates,
on
each Distribution Date the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall make distributions
in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions shall be made by check
mailed to each Certificateholder’s address as it appears on the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request made to the
Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related
Distribution Date to any Certificateholder, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to an account specified in the request and at the expense of
such Certificateholder; provided, however, that the final distribution in
respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender
of
such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office. Wire transfers may be made
at
the expense of the Holder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire
transfer fee from the related distribution. Notwithstanding such final payment
of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain
outstanding until the termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of
all
other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificate and at such time
such
final payment in retirement of the Residual Certificate will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of
the Certificate Registrar. If any payment required to be made on the
Certificates is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such

(b) All
distributions or allocations made with respect to Certificateholders within
each
Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial

(e) On
each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Holder of

(f) (2) On
each Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date but on or
after the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Senior
Certificates of any Certificate Group (other than the Group 4 Certificates)
has
been reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on each
Class
of Group I Subordinate Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth
in Section 5.02(a)(v), in reverse order of priority, in respect of such Class’s
Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount
for the Mortgage Pool relating to such retired Senior Certificates, shall be
distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates (other than the Group 4
Certificates) remaining outstanding in accordance with the priorities set forth
in Sections 5.02(a)(iv), until the Class Principal Amounts thereof have been
reduced to zero, provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than 200% of the
Aggregate Subordinate Percentage as of the first Distribution Date or (b) the
average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 (if the
aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates of any other
Certificate Group other than the Group 4 Certificates have been reduced to
zero), Pool 2 (if the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Senior
Certificates of any other Certificate Group other than the Group 4 Certificates
have been reduced to zero) or Pool 3 (if the aggregate Certificate Principal
Amount of the Senior Certificates of any other Certificate Group other than
the
Group 4 Certificates have been reduced to zero), that are delinquent 60 days
or
more for the last six months as a percentage of the related Group Subordinate
Amount is greater than or equal to 50%. If the Senior Certificates of two or
more Certificate Groups (other than the Group 4 Certificates) remain
outstanding, the distributions described above will be made in proportion to
the
aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of such Senior Certificates of each
such
Certificate Group (other than the Group 4 Certificates).
83
(ii) On
any Distribution Date on which any Certificate Group (other than the Group
4
Certificates) constitutes an Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise
distributable as principal on the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in reverse
order of priority (other than amounts necessary to pay unpaid Interest
Shortfalls) (or, following the Credit Support Depletion Date, such other amounts
described in the immediately following sentence), will be distributed as
principal to the Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.02(a)(iv), until the
aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of such Senior Certificates equals the
Pool Balance of the related Mortgage Pool (such distribution, an
“Undercollateralization Distribution”). In the event that any Certificate Group
(other than the Group 4 Certificates) constitutes an Undercollateralized Group
on any Distribution Date following the Credit Support Depletion Date,
Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from the excess of the
Available Distribution Amount for the other such Mortgage Pools not related
to
an Undercollateralized Group (other than Pool 4) remaining after all required
amounts have been distributed to the Senior Certificates of the other
Certificate Groups (other than the Group 4 Certificates). In addition, the
amount of any unpaid Interest Shortfalls with respect to an Undercollateralized
Group (other than the Group 4 Certificates) on any Distribution Date (including
any Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date) will be distributed to
the
Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group prior to the payment
of
any Undercollateralization Distributions from amounts otherwise distributable
as
principal on the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority
(or, following the Credit Support Depletion Date, as provided in the preceding
sentence). If more than one of the Certificate Groups (other than the Group
4
Certificates) is an Undercollateralized Group, the distributions described
above
will be made in proportion to the amount by which the aggregate Certificate
Principal Amount of the Senior Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates
of
each such Certificate Group exceeds the Pool Balance of the related Mortgage
Pool.

Distribution Date and (y) the Class Principal Amount thereof on the Closing
Date
(as reduced by any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the first $0.22 of principal portion of Realized Losses in

of
their Apportioned Principal Amounts, and, if such Mortgage Loan is in Mortgage

immediately prior to the applicable Distribution Date and (y) the Class
Principal Amount thereof on the Closing Date (as reduced by any Realized Losses
previously allocated thereto).
(c) Any
Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(a)
or (b) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion
to
their respective Certificate Principal Amounts or Component Principal Amounts
of
such Certificates. Any allocation of Realized Losses pursuant to this paragraph
(c) shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Amount or
Component Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.03(d).
(d) Realized
Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 5.03 shall be allocated on
the

due during the related Due Period (other than Balloon Payments) have not been
received, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer
to,
advance such amount on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination
Date, less an amount, if any, to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate to be
delivered to the Securities Administrator on such Determination Date, which
if
advanced the Master Servicer or such Servicer has determined would not be
recoverable from amounts received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including
late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise. The
Securities Administrator shall be able to rely conclusively on any
non-recoverability determination made by the Master Servicer. If the Master
Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Deposit Date
immediately following such Determination Date either (i) remit to the Securities
Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer)
for deposit in the Certificate Account immediately available funds in an amount
equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future
distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04, used
by
the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available
funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account
or
(iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be
replaced by the Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the
Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account on or before
any
future Deposit Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on
such
Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to
be
made on the related Distribution Date. The Securities Administrator shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer
that
an Advance, if made, would constitute a non-recoverable advance. The Master
Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Collection Account for all Advances made by it as provided in Section
4.02.
(b) In
the event that the Master Servicer fails for any reason to make an Advance
required to be made pursuant to Section 5.04(a) on or before the Deposit Date,
the Securities Administrator, solely in its capacity as successor Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on or before the related Distribution
Date, deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the excess of (a)
Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer or any Servicer that would
have been deposited in such Certificate Account over (b) the amount of any
Advance made by the Master Servicer or such Servicer with respect to such
Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall
be
required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing
so
and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable from amounts to
be
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments,
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account
for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if it were the Master
Servicer.

(a) No

be
titled “Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as securities administrator, in
trust for the registered holders of Structured Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan
Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2006-3” (the “Funding Account”).
The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
Funding Account and retain therein the Funding Amount remitted on the Closing
Date to the Securities Administrator by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the
Funding Account shall be held in trust by the Securities Administrator on behalf
of the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein. On the
Distribution Date in April 2006, the Securities Administrator will withdraw
from
the Funding Account an amount equal to the Funding Amount. The Securities
Administrator shall pay the Funding Amount with respect to Pool 1 and Pool
4 to
the Certificateholders in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
5.02 as if such amounts were included in the Available Distribution Amounts
of
Pool 1 and Pool 4; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall
not be entitled to any payment pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) with respect
to
the Funding Amount.
(b) The
Securities Administrator will invest funds deposited in the Funding Account
in
Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Depositor (provided that
if
the Securities Administrator does not receive written direction from the
Depositor, the amounts in the Funding Account shall not be invested) with a
maturity date no later than the Business Day preceding the first Distribution
Date. For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of
the
Funding Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss
arising therefrom. At no time will the Funding Account be an asset of any of
the
REMICs provided for herein. All income and gain realized from investment of
funds deposited in the Funding Account shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted by the Securities Administrator
to the Depositor within eight (8) Business Days of the first Distribution Date.
The Depositor shall deposit in the Funding Account the amount of any net loss
incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment immediately upon realization
of such loss.
(c) On
the Distribution Date in April 2006, any amounts remaining on deposit in the
Funding Account after withdrawals pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be
withdrawn by the Securities Administrator and paid to the Depositor or its
designee and the Securities Administrator shall terminate the Funding Account
on
such first Distribution Date.
88
(d) For
purposes of computations throughout this Agreement (other than for purposes
of
computing any fee or the Net WAC of any Pool or portion thereof), (i) Pool
1
shall be deemed to include a certain Mortgage Loan with a Scheduled Principal
Balance as of the Cut-off Date of $92,000.00 that is prepaid in full on the
Closing Date such that its Scheduled Principal Balance for all Distribution
Dates is $0 and (ii) Pool 4 shall be deemed to include certain Mortgage Loans
with a Scheduled Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of $12,875,119.75
that
are prepaid in full on the Closing Date such that their Scheduled Principal

Duties
of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
|
(a) The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default (of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge), and the
Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this Agreement shall
not
be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator. If an
Event of Default (of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator shall have actual knowledge) has occurred and has
not
otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
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 unless the Securities Administrator is acting as Master Servicer,
in
which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer
hereunder.
(b) Each
of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
which
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 neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer, to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, and neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to recalculate
or
verify any numerical information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its negligence or
willful misconduct, except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however,
that:
89
(i) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith
in accordance with the consent or direction of Holders of Certificates as
provided in Section 6.18 hereof;
(ii) For
all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in
fact
such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and
such notice references the Holders of the Certificates and this
Agreement;
(iii) For
all purposes under this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be
deemed to have notice of any Event of Default (other than resulting from a
failure by the Master Servicer to remit funds or to furnish information to
the
Securities Administrator when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer
of
the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Securities Administrator at the address provided in Section 11.07, and such
notice references the Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
and
(iv) With
respect to amounts that would be treated as “unanticipated expenses” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid or reimbursed
by the REMICs hereunder, no provision of this Agreement shall require the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for
the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement except, with respect to the Securities Administrator,
during such time, if any, as the Securities Administrator 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.
(d) The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to
have
been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall use its best efforts to remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any
such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to
the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer
has
actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit
the
Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document
relates is a Mortgaged Property.
90

the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith

the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement.
(f) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be held liable by reason
of
any insufficiency in any account (including without limitation the Certificate
Account) held by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein
(except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted
thereon).

to
any re-recording, re-filing or re-depositing of any thereof, (B) to see to

or
(D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the
Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties.
(h) Neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable in its individual
capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer
or
other officers of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as
applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Securities Administrator
nor the Trustee shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses
or
damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits),
even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of
action, provided,

any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates shall each have the power
from time to time to appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees
jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the
purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect
to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal
place
of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable
(or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state
in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in
any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state
in
which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate trustees,
co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for
the
benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and
remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute
the
appointee an agent of the Trustee. The obligation of the Securities
Administrator to make Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 and 6.14 hereof shall
not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee, provided,
however, that prior to the appointment hereunder of any such co-trustee,
separate trustee, or custodian, such Person shall enter into an agreement,
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee, relating to the satisfaction of such Person of its reporting
obligations under Regulation AB with respect to any Servicing performed by
it in
connection with the Trust Fund.
(b) Every
separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent permitted
by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect
of
the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the
Trustee;
(ii) all
other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except
to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or
acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations, including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
97
(iii) no
trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act
or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the
Trustee or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate
Voting Interests of the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation
of
or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it
or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee,
co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of
this
Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the
trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for any action or inaction of any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian.
If
any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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.
(e) No
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05 hereunder
and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be required under
Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The
Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary
to
fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.
(g) The
Trust Fund shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees to the
extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified in Section 6.12 hereof
(which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee
under such Section).

Authenticating
Agents.
|
(a) The
Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. The Trustee
hereby appoints the Securities Administrator to act as the initial
Authenticating Agent, and the Securities Administrator hereby accepts such
appointment. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication
of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed
on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent
must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of
at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
98
(b) Any
Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Trustee
may
at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written
notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon
receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any
time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10.
No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action
taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall
be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the
Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense to the extent provided in Section
6.12.

Section
6.11.
|
Indemnification
of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
|
The
Trustee and the Securities Administrator and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the
Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any
legal proceeding or incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their
part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration
of
the trusts created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their
duties hereunder or under the Certificates, the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
any Custodial Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including any applicable
fees and expenses payable pursuant to Section 6.12 and the costs and expenses
of
defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided
that:
(i) with
respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall have given the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders
written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have knowledge thereof;
provided that failure to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the
obligation to indemnify the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator;
99
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and consult fully with the
Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, entered into without the prior consent of the
Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(iv) any
such loss, liability or expense indemnified by the Trust Fund must constitute
an
“unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
The
provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any
loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.

investment of funds in the Certificate Account and (b) reimbursement of all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advancements incurred or made by the
Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement (including fees
and
expenses of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except
any such expenses, disbursements and advancements that either (i) arise from
its
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) do not constitute
“unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Trustee shall be paid the Trustee Fee by the Securities
Administrator from its own funds, as separately agreed with the Securities
Administrator. Each Custodian shall receive compensation and reimbursement
or
payment of its expenses under the Custodial Agreement as provided therein;
provided that, to the extent required under Section 6 or Section 20 of the

it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee or Securities Administrator
shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the

102
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (xi) of this Section 6.14
shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long
as
any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of
time
prescribed by this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more
than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class
of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
If
an Event of Default described in clause (xii) of Section 6.14(a) shall occur,
then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Event
of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by
clause (xii) of Section 6.14(a), the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer, shall promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as
Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Securities Administrator upon
receipt of written notice by the Securities Administrator from the Trustee
pursuant to and under the terms of this Agreement; and the Securities
Administrator is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the defaulting 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 defaulting Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s
responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without
limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing
function and providing the Securities Administrator or its designee all
documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it
to
enable the Securities Administrator or its designee to assume the defaulting
Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Securities
Administrator for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time
be
or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the
Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being
terminated shall bear all costs of a master servicing transfer, including but
not limited to those of the Trustee and Securities Administrator reasonably
allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses,
accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending
the
Agreement, if necessary. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Master
Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs
associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer,
including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the
complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Securities
Administrator to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data
or
otherwise to enable the Securities Administrator to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated 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 Fund and the
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04; provided
that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any
such
expense incurred by the Trust Fund; and provided, further, that the Trustee
shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest of the
Certificateholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to make
such
reimbursement.
103
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided
in Section 4.02(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (x) to the extent
such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s
termination.
If
any
Event of Default shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or
Securities Administrator has actual knowledge,
the
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, upon becoming aware of
the
occurrence thereof through the proper execution of its duties under this
Agreement, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator or Trustee and
the
Rating Agencies of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee
or the Securities Administrator shall immediately give written notice to the
Master Servicer upon such Master Servicer’s failure to remit funds on the
Deposit Date.
(b) On
and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from
the
Trustee or Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee
receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel pursuant to Section 9.28 and within a period of time not to exceed
90
days after the Securities Administrator receives written notice from the Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 9.28, the Securities Administrator,
unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor
in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master
Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused
by
the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s failure to provide information required
by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Securities
Administrator hereunder. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall have
no
responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the
issuance of any notice of termination and within a period of time not to exceed
90 days after the Securities Administrator receives written notice from the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 9.28, as applicable. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability relating to the representations
and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the
Securities Administrator’s capacity as such successor, the Securities
Administrator shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to
the
Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Securities Administrator shall
be
entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee and the compensation described
in
Section 9.21. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses 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 Securities Administrator to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise
to enable the Securities Administrator to master service the Mortgage Loans
properly and effectively.
104
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Securities Administrator may, if it shall be unwilling to
continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, request the Trustee
to
appoint, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint
on
its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer,
master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth
of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor
master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such
Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Any entity
designated by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator as a successor master
servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator;
provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements
and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, in its individual capacity shall agree,
at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund
for
such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may
make
other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder
which
are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any successor master servicer in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment
of the master servicing functions and providing the Securities Administrator
and
successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume
the
Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or such successor master servicer, as applicable,
all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained
with
respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver,
or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure
of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the
failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the
Securities Administrator as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions
imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master
Servicer.

the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in
Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express

enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the

provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and
each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and
no

or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.

|
Waiver
of Defaults.
|
35%
or
more of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Certificateholders may waive any
default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required
deposit to the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of the Trustee
to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates
may
only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders.
Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
|
Section
6.17.
|
Notification
to Holders.

Upon
termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall

Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any

notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders,
unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the
issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i)
the

of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as set forth in Section
7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the

so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a
“qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) On
any Distribution Date occurring after the date on which (x) the total Scheduled

(the “Repurchase Price”) equal to: (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan in such Pool or Pools on the day of such purchase plus
interest accrued thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any
such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date in the Due Period immediately preceding
such
Distribution Date, (ii) the fair market value of any applicable REO Property
and
any other applicable property (reduced, in the case of REO Property, by (x)
reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (y) any amount by which the fair
market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan), such fair market value to be determined by an appraiser
or appraisers appointed by the Master Servicer with the consent of the Trustee
and (iii) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each applicable
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer and each Servicer (or the Trustee, if

Loan
or related REO Property for any Advances or Servicing Advances made with respect
to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or to each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement (or to
the
Trustee hereunder), together with any accrued and unpaid compensation and any
other amounts due to the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder or the
Custodians or the Servicers under their respective Custodial or Servicing

1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Securities Administrator shall distribute the assets
of
the applicable Pool or Pools on the Distribution Date on which the repurchase
occurred. Upon the repurchase of all of the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Fund

(b) In
the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Securities Administrator 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
one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate
steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts
distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice
any
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.
No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed
to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section.
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
in
connection with any termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund (or a Mortgage
Group thereof) shall be paid from proceeds received from the liquidation of
the
Trust Fund, but only to the extent that such expenses constitute “unanticipated
expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

sale pursuant to Section 7.01(b) shall be effected in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee seeks (at the request
of
the party exercising the option to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans,
pursuant to Section 7.01(b)), and subsequently receives, an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of such requesting party), addressed to the Trustee to the
effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of
this Section 7.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on any REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause any REMIC established hereunder to
fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) in
the case of a sale of the assets of Mortgage Group I:
(A) The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of Mortgage Group I for cash and, within

(B) The
Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the final Federal income
tax return for each of REMIC I-1, REMIC I-2 and REMIC I-3 stating that pursuant
to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation
period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold such assets;
and
116
(ii) in
the case of a sale of the assets of Mortgage Group II:
(A) The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of Mortgage Group II for cash and, within
90 days of such sale, shall distribute the proceeds of such sale to the Group
II
Certificateholders in complete liquidation of REMIC II-1 and REMIC II-2;

for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold such
assets.
(b) By
its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby (i)
authorizes the Trustee to take the action described in paragraph (a) above
and
(ii) agrees to take such other action as may be necessary to facilitate
liquidation of any REMIC created under this Agreement, which authorization
shall
be binding upon all successor Residual Certificateholders.

to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall

indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day
period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being

Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit
of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions

the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar
will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing,
a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record
Date.
(b) If
three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as
“Applicants”) apply in writing to the Securities Administrator, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates
and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose
to

after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access
during the normal business hours of the Securities Administrator to the most
recent list of Certificateholders held by the Securities Administrator or shall,
as an alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as
they
appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee
that neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason
of
the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the

Acts
of Holders of Certificates.
|
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and,
where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or
instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement
and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and Master
Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward
a

may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the
certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution
is
by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
(c) The
ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue
and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register,
and
none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the
Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the
same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof,
in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether
or
not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master
Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the

and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Fidelity Bond in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer
to
provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and

of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the
applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with
the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim
report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master

Power
to Act; Procedures.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power
and
authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable
Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not
take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent
with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders
in
any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee
and
the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer further is
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders
and
the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Servicer, when the Master
Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its
best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan with MERS, or cause the removal
from
the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS system, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any
and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect
to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely
as
nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. The Master Servicer
shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner
as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in
any
claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make
or
knowingly permit any Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment
of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC included in the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under
Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such
Servicer by the Master Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or
a
Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment
and
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing
Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the
Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and
all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer or a Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney prepared
by
the Master Servicer or such Servicer empowering the Master Servicer or such
Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or
of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise
liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court
action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may
request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master
service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder and to allow
each
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of
any
such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer).
If
the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that
the
laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken
in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected
under
the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its
name, then upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with
the
Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof.
In
the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an
independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is
taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the
Trustee.
121
(b) In
master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
shall
employ procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and
exercises in master servicing and administering loans for its own account,
giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices
do
not conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any
late payment charge (but not any Prepayment Penalty Amount, except as set forth
below) and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for
a
period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that the maturity of any
Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which the final payment
is
due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event
of
any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make
or
cause to be made Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any
material term of any Mortgage Loan unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default
or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case
of
a waiver of a Prepayment Penalty Amount if (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default
or default by the related Mortgagor is reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver
would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such
Prepayment Penalty Amount and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) the prepayment
is
not the result of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and
(i)
such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in
the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize recovery of total
proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty Amount and
the
related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Penalty Amount
would be in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the collection of such
Prepayment Penalty Amount would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written
guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters, and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided or caused
to
be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall, if
provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense reimbursed, to the extent it
is
an unanticipated expense within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v))
in
writing to the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel
be required for the waiver of a Prepayment Penalty Amount under clause (2)
above.

Servicing
Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Servicers; Enforcement
of
Servicers’ Obligations.
|
(a) Each
Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement
to
actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include such actions taken
or to be taken by a Servicer pursuant to a Servicing Agreement. Any fees, costs
and expenses and other amounts payable to such Servicers shall be deducted
from
amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the applicable Servicer (to the
extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement) and shall not be an
obligation of the Trust, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to
the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is not required to
take
under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any
action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement
does
not require the Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action;
in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that requires
the
Master Servicer to take such action or cause the Servicer to take such
action.
(c) 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 use its reasonable best efforts to enforce the obligations
of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement and shall, upon its
obtaining actual knowledge of the failure of a Servicer to perform its
obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, to the extent
that the non-performance of any such obligations would have a material adverse
effect on a Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund or Certificateholders, terminate
the
rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder to the extent and in the
manner permitted by the related Servicing Agreement and either act as servicer
of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Servicing Agreement with a
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,
and
shall be reimbursed therefore initially only (i) from a general recovery
resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery
exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from
a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, to the extent that such
amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of
such
enforcement or (iii) from the Collection Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certifications
or
other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, filings or
reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable
law or regulation.
123
|
Section
9.06.
|
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
|
(a) To
the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial
accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution
with
which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary
course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the
maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and shall
deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts
due
for taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums
or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from
any
Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such
purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each
Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid
to
Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to
effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related
Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to
pay
such items), provided that it has determined that the funds so advanced are
recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(v)
or
otherwise.
(b) Costs
incurred by the Master Servicer or by Servicers in effecting the timely payment
of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may
be
added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of
the
Mortgage Note 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. Such costs, to the extent that they are
unanticipated expenses within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.02(v).
|
Section
9.07.
|
Termination
of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
any
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue
of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any
Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, or enter
into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer.
The
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may
be a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if such Servicer is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer
of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data
and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may
be
required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) 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. The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer
assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated
Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, and in the event of any
such
assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the
terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and
warranties.

Master
Servicer Liable for Enforcement.

Notwithstanding
any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Trustee and the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution
of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements or
arrangements. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to
ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the
provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with the Servicers for indemnification of the Master Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer
shall
have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Servicer in the performance
by such Servicer of its obligations under the related Servicing
Agreement.

the
Seller and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except
as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof.

Assumption
of Servicing Agreement by Securities Administrator.
|
(a) In
the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement),
after a period not to exceed ninety days after the Securities Administrator
receives written notice from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14 or Section
9.28, as applicable, the Securities Administrator shall thereupon assume all
of
the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and enforce the
rights under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. The Securities Administrator, its designee or any successor master
servicer appointed by the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be
deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein
to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved
of
any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing
Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be
liable to the Securities Administrator, and hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold
harmless the Securities Administrator from and against all costs, damages,
expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the
Securities Administrator as a result of such liability or obligations of the
Master Servicer and in connection with the Securities Administrator’s assumption
(but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the
Securities Administrator are created or increased as a result of negligent
or
wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement
as
Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or
responsibilities thereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not
indemnify or hold harmless the Securities Administrator against negligent or
willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator.
125
(b) The
Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Securities
Administrator but at the expense of such Master Servicer or at the expense
of
the Trust Fund, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating
to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting
of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming
party.

Section
9.11.
|
“Due-on-Sale”
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
|
(a) To
the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent
Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, and to the extent that
the Master Servicer has knowledge of the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property,
the
Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to 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.
(b) The
Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to approve a request from a Mortgagor for the granting of an easement thereon
in
favor of another Person or any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged
Property if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment
in
the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan,
that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage
Loan would not be materially adversely affected thereby. Any fee collected
by
the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for processing such a request will
be retained by the Master Servicer or such Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
|
Section
9.12.
|
Release
of Mortgage Files.
|
(a) Upon
(i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, (ii) the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will
be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, or (iii) in the case of
a
Mortgage Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in
California, receipt by the Master Servicer of notification from the applicable
Servicer that the Servicer reasonably expects that payment in full will be
received promptly, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the applicable
Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) by a
certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment that
are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request the Trustee or the applicable Custodian,
to
deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. In lieu of sending
a hard copy certification of a Servicing Officer, the Master Servicer may,
or
may cause the Servicer to, deliver the request for release in a mutually
agreeable electronic format. To the extent that such a request, on its face,
originates from a Servicing Officer, no signature shall be required. Upon
receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable
Servicer and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. The Master Servicer is
authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to
such
Servicer by the Master Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is
authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as
the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefore of such payment, it being understood and agreed that
no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account.
126
(b) From
time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of, or other
legal proceedings relating to, any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall
execute such pleadings, request for trustee’s sale or other documents as shall
be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a
Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary
to
the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee or the Custodian, shall,
upon request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian, of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing
Officer substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C or in the form
annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit C, release the related
Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or
the
applicable Servicer). Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer
or
applicable Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or Custodian,
as
applicable, when the need therefore by the Master Servicer or applicable
Servicer no longer exists unless (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated,
in
which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to
that
herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee
or
the Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable
Servicer) or (ii) the Mortgage File has been delivered directly or through
a
Servicer to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a
Servicer to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as
to
the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document
was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit, or cause the applicable Servicer to transmit,
to
the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof to be delivered to the Trustee. Any funds received by the Master Servicer
or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are
collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as a Subsequent Recovery,
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan
shall
be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to
the
Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the
Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the
right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided
in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and shall
(to
the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer
to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans
to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request
and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings
and
loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office
of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.
127
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from a Subsequent Recovery,
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master
Servicer, or by such Servicer, for and on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of
the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer
shall
be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts
that
are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under
this
Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall be authorized to
remit
such funds to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this
Agreement.
(c) The
Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of
this
Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller
to
the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such
Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held
by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are
collected by such Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the
Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest
or
as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as a Subsequent
Recovery, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all
proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or
other amounts to which such Servicer is entitled under the applicable Servicing
Agreement, or the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder);
and the Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned
to and held by the Trustee or any Custodian, all documents or instruments
constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to
the
control of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master
Servicer or such Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s
agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest
therein as provided by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other
laws.
128
(d) The
Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer
to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited
in any custodial account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any
funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim,
lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other
encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of
setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection
with, a Mortgage Loan.

maintain, or cause to be maintained by each Servicer, standard fire and casualty
insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are
to be
applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or
release to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s or the
Servicer’s normal servicing procedures need not be so deposited (or

|
Section
9.18.
|
Maintenance
of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (consistent
with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result
in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or Servicer, would
have
been covered thereunder. To the extent that coverage is available, the Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to keep in force and effect,
or
to cause each Servicer 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, cancel
or
refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect
at
the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be
kept
in force hereunder except as required by a applicable law or 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 present, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 4.01, 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 Section 4.02.
|
Section

|
Trustee
To Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
|
The
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain
possession and custody of the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies or certificate of insurance if applicable and any certificates of
renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated
by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the
Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has
fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and custody
of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian, as directed by the
Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies and any certificates of renewal thereof, and such
other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File
that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time.
132
|
Section
9.20.
|
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause each
Servicer 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. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may take,
or
authorize any Servicer to take, other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage
Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the
Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in
order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or
permitting a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount
less
than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing
transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property),
(ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a
modification in accordance with Section 9.04. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion or action, the Master Servicer shall, consistent
with Section 9.18, follow such practices and procedures as it shall reasonably
determine to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders and which shall be consistent with its customary practices
in
performing its general mortgage servicing activities; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer
is
acting in connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion or action
in
a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Neither
the
Master Servicer, nor any Servicer, shall be required to expend its own funds
or
incur other reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or
attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or toward the correction of any
default on a related senior mortgage loan, or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
to
the Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or
charges and (ii) that such expenses and charges will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (as provided in Section
4.02).
|
Section
9.21.
|
Compensation
to the Master Servicer.
|
The
Master Servicer shall (i) be entitled, at its election, either (a) to pay itself
the Master Servicing Fee, in respect of the Mortgage Loans out of any Mortgagor
payment on account of interest prior to the deposit of such payment in the
Collection Account it maintains or (b) to withdraw from the Collection Account
the Master Servicing Fee to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(iv). The Master
Servicer shall also be entitled, at its election, either (a) to pay itself
the
Master Servicing Fee in respect of each delinquent Mortgage Loan master serviced
by it out of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of such Mortgage Loan or other
recoveries with respect thereto to the extent permitted in Section 4.02 or
(b)
to withdraw from the Collection Account it maintains the Master Servicing Fee
in
respect of each Liquidated Mortgage Loan to the extent of such Liquidation
Proceeds or other recoveries, to the extent permitted by Section 4.02. Servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges,
as
collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any Prepayment Penalty
Amount) shall be retained by the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer)
and shall not be deposited in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer
does not retain or withdraw the Master Servicing Fee from the Collection Account
as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to direct the Trustee
to pay the Master Servicing Fee to such Master Servicer by withdrawal from
the
Certificate Account to the extent that payments have been received with respect
to the applicable Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefore except as provided in this
Agreement. Pursuant to Section 4.01(e), all income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer as additional compensation. The provisions of this Section
9.21
are subject to the provisions of Section 6.14(b).

REO
Property.
|
(a) In
the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect
of
any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or, 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,
but in all events within the time period, and subject to the conditions set
forth in Article X hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property,
the Master Servicer shall protect and conserve, or cause the applicable Servicer
to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to such extent
required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, subject to Article X
hereof.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all funds collected
and
received by it, or recovered from any Servicer, in connection with the operation
of any REO Property in the Collection Account.
(c) The
Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final disposition of
any
REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Servicing Fees from
Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such
REO Property; provided, that (without limitation of any other right of
reimbursement that the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall have hereunder)
any
such unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or
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 Collection Account on or prior to the Determination
Date in the month following receipt thereof (and the Master Servicer shall
provide written notice to the Securities Administrator upon such deposit) and
be
remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit into the Certificate Account on the next succeeding Deposit
Date.

Servicer of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB and
(ii) if the Master Servicer shall become (but only to the extent not previously
disclosed to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate
of
any of the parties listed on Exhibit R to this Agreement. On or before March
1st
of each
year, the Depositor shall distribute the information in Exhibit R to the Master
Servicer.
(b) Not
later than four Business Days prior to the Distribution Date of each month,
the
Master Servicer shall provide to the Securities Administrator, the Sponsor

the performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 9.23(b)
related to the timely preparation and delivery of such information is contingent
upon each applicable Servicer strictly observing all requirements and deadlines
in the performance of their duties under their related Servicing Agreements.
The
Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
deliver all such information where such failure results from the Master
Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any Servicer needed to prepare or deliver such information,
which failure does not result from the Master Servicer’s own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.

(a) Except
as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer
any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or
delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to
perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the
Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall
have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor or the Rating Agencies to delegate or assign to
or
subcontract with or authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Master Servicer
to
perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed
and
carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. In no case, however, shall any
such delegation, subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master
Servicer relieve the Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of
such
permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any
provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a
successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fees and
other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, including
amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or withdrawn by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 9.21 hereof, shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.

the foregoing, for so long as reports are required to be filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Master Servicer

the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without (a) giving notice to the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and (b) requiring any
such Subcontractor to provide to the Master Servicer an attestation report
as

Limitation
on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(b) No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Master Servicer
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or
its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that the duties and obligations
of the Master Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and, in absence of bad faith on the part of the
Master Servicer, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and conforming to
the
requirements of this Agreement.
139
(c) Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer
or
any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties
or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Fund
and
will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of his or its duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations and
duties hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties
to
master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that
in
its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however,
that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that
it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section 4.02.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicer
nor
the Trustee shall have any liability for the servicing of the Additional
Collateral, including, without limitation, the perfection, continuation, partial
release, release, termination, realization upon, substitution, foreclosure,
sale, or any other matter with respect to the Additional Collateral, or the
enforcement of the Additional Collateral Servicing Agreement.

or
the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee or the

Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and

10.01.

REMIC
and Grantor Trust Administration.
|
(a) As
set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto, REMIC status shall be elected
in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions with respect to each of REMIC I-1, REMIC
I-2, REMIC I-3, REMIC II-1 and REMIC II-2. The Trustee shall make such elections
on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For purposes of such elections, (i) each of the REMIC
I-1 Interests, other than the Class LTI1-R Interest, is hereby designated as
a
regular interest in REMIC I-1; (ii) each of the REMIC I-2 Interests, other
than
the Class LTI2-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
I-2; (iii) each of the REMIC I-3 Interests, other than the Class LTI3-R
Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC I-3; (iv) each
of
the REMIC II-1 Interests, other than the Class LTII1-R Interest, is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC II-1; and
(v)
each of the REMIC II-2 Interests, other than the Class LTII2-R Interest, is
hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II-2.
The
Class LTI1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest in
REMIC I-1. The Class LTI2-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual
interest in REMIC I-2. The Class LTI3-R Interest is hereby designated as the
sole residual interest in REMIC I-3.
The
Class LTII1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest in
REMIC II-1. The Class LTII2-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual
interest in REMIC II-2. The Class R Certificate evidences ownership of the
Class
LTI1-R Interest, the Class the Class LTI2-R Interest, the Class LTI3-R Interest,
the Class LTII1-R Interest and the Class LTII2-R Interest. The Class P-I and
Class P-II Certificates shall be neither regular interests nor residual
interests in any REMIC created hereunder. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the segregated pool of assets consisting of any collections of
Prepayment Penalty Amounts (i) related to the Mortgage Loans in Pool
1,
Pool 2 and Pool 3, and (ii) related to the Mortgage Loans in Pool 4
each
constitute a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee, by
its
execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges the assignment to it of the Grantor
Trust Assets and declares that it holds and will hold such assets in trust
for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Class
P-I
(in the case of collections of Prepayment Penalty Amounts related to Pool 1,
Pool 2 and Pool 3) and Class P-II (in the case of collections of Prepayment
Penalty Amounts related to Pool 4) Certificates. The rights of Holders of the
Class P-I and Class P-II Certificates to receive distributions from the proceeds
of the Grantor Trust Assets, and all ownership interests of such Holders in
and
to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
141
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date
for
purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4) is the “Latest Possible
Maturity Date”.
(c) The
Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
including taxes) of each REMIC and each Grantor Trust, including but not limited
to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative
or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC or such Grantor Trust that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to
the
extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including
expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described
in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties)
are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities
Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax
return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Certificate Account of the expenses to the extent (x)
provided in clause (i) above and (y) in the case of expenses relating to a
REMIC
provided for hereunder, such expenses are “unanticipated expenses” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
(d) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign,
all
of each REMIC’s federal and state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s
direct representative. The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file,
and
the Trustee shall sign, all of the tax returns in respect of each Grantor Trust.
The Securities Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing Form
1041. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the
Securities Administrator. If any Disqualified Organization acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, then the Securities Administrator
will upon request provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons
specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, such information as
required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code needed to compute the tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
disqualified organizations and the Securities Administrator will be reimbursed
by the Trust for all expenses incurred therewith solely from amounts received
for the provision of such information from persons specified in Sections
860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code.
(e) The
Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC
and each Grantor Trust all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are
the responsibility of such REMIC or Grantor Trust under the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required
by
the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities
Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority
such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to
the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization
and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required
by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
142
(f) The
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders
of
Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC hereunder to take any
action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC
under
the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any
action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any such REMIC as a REMIC
or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section
860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d)
of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion
of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any such REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any such REMIC to take
any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer, or their respective designees, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such
action or cause such REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that
an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of
the
Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement
pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, the Trustee shall sign and
the
Securities Administrator shall file, federal tax returns and appropriate state
income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable
law
relating to the Trust Fund, and shall file any other documents to the extent
required by applicable state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the
Securities Administrator’s possession). The Securities Administrator shall
forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental
tax information and such other information within the control of the Securities
Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall
forward to the Trustee for distribution to each Certificateholder such forms
and
furnish such information within the control of the Securities Administrator
as
are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished to them,
and
will prepare and furnish to the Trustee for distribution to Certificateholders
Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information
within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required
by
applicable law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any
of
such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in the
information provided by such Master Servicer.
(h) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”), on behalf of each REMIC, an application on IRS Form SS-4. The
Securities Administrator, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer
Identification Number Assigned for each REMIC, shall promptly forward copies
of
such notices to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The
Securities Administrator will file an IRS Form 8811 for the REMICs created
hereunder. The Trustee shall sign such forms referred to in this Section
10.01(h) as may be required under applicable law.
143
(i) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent
that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the
Securities Administrator shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current
or
future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate
in such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held
in
the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders
of
regular interests in such REMIC, as the case may be.
(j) The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(k) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans and any contributions from the Funding Account as provided for
in
Section 5.06 hereof.
(l) Neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
(m) Upon
the request of any Rating Agency, the Securities Administrator shall deliver
to
such Rating Agency an Officer’s Certificate stating the Securities
Administrator’s compliance with the provisions of this Section
10.01.
(n) The
Trustee shall provide the Securities Administrator such information as the
Securities Administrator may reasonably request in connection with its
responsibilities under this Section 10.01.

Neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of,
or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant
to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund,
(iii) the termination of the REMIC holding such Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of

of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or
substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance
will not (a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or of the
Certificates other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests
therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the
Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or

Section
10.03.
|
Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
|
In
the
event that a REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or
incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or
prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
of
its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the Holder of the Residual
Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
or
the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights
and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no
event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator have any liability
(1)
for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance
with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of,
this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, of its duties
and
obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages
to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on
the
Certificates); provided,
however, that
this
sentence shall not apply in connection with any failure by the Trustee to comply
with the provisions of Section 6.01(l) hereof, or any failure by the Securities
Administrator to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.01 (k) and (l) and
Sections 9.25 (a) and (b) hereof.
|
Section
10.04.
|
REO
Property.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not (except to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement), permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or
otherwise earn income or otherwise take or fail to take any action on behalf
of
any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as “foreclosure” property within the meaning of section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or
any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to tax under the
REMIC Provisions unless the Master Servicer has advised, or has caused the
applicable Servicer to advise, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
in
writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not
adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated
for
such REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax
upon
such REMIC.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall make, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to make,
reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any
event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable
Servicer to, dispose of any REO Property within three years from the end of
the
calendar year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer
has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the
effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation
and under applicable state law, the applicable REMIC may hold REO Property
for a
longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or
causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If such an
extension has been received, then (a) the Master Servicer shall provide a copy
of such extension to the Trustee and Securities Administrator and (b) the Master
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee and Securities Administrator
hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt
to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than
three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Master
Servicer has not received such an extension, or the Master Servicer is acting
on
behalf of the Trustee and Securities Administrator hereunder, or the applicable
Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its
acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Trustee has received such an extension,
and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee
hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three
months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall,
or
shall cause the applicable Servicer to, before the end of the three year period
or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a
price
equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property
to the highest bidder (which may be the Master Servicer) in an auction
reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the
three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

Agreement.
|
This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior
and
contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express
or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the
subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course
of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms
hereof.
|
Section
11.03.
|
Amendment.
|
(a) This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, without notice to or
the
consent of any of the Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the
provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of
the
statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement in any Offering Document; or to correct or supplement any provision
herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the
provisions of any Servicing Agreement, (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or (iv) to add,
delete, or amend any provisions to the extent necessary or desirable to comply
with any requirements imposed by the Code and the REMIC Provisions as evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel. No such amendment effected pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, result in an Adverse
REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant to clause (iii) of
such
sentence adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder.
Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of Holders pursuant
to
this paragraph, the Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of
the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
permitted under this Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to
adversely affect in any material respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause
such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify or withdraw the then current rating
assigned to the Certificates (and any Opinion of Counsel requested by the
Trustee in connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such
confirmation as the basis therefor).
146
(b) This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of
the
Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, at the expense
of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse
REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in
any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentages of Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates
of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal
Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders”
shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates,
the related Certificate Owners.
(c) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of
such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating
Agencies.
(d) It
shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03
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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not
consent to any amendment of any Servicing Agreement unless (i) such amendment
is
effected pursuant to the standards provided in this Section with respect to
amendment of this Agreement and (ii) except for a Permitted Servicing Amendment,
any such amendment pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(iii) shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement.
147
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 11.03, this Agreement may be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee to the extent necessary, in the judgment of the
Depositor and its counsel, to comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
Regulation AB and any related rules and regulations.

The

transfer or assignment by the Seller of its rights under any Servicing Agreement
or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder
or any portion thereof to any Person other than the initial Servicer under
such
Servicing Agreement; provided
that the
Seller shall not be required to provide prior notice of any transfer of
servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date to an
entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date. In addition, the ability of
the
Seller to transfer or assign its rights and delegate its duties under a
Servicing Agreement or to transfer the servicing thereunder to a successor
servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Satisfaction
of the conditions to such transfer as set forth in the Servicing Agreement
including, without limitation, receipt of written consent of the Master Servicer
to such transfer;
(ii) Such
successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for FNMA or
FHLMC;
(iii) Such
successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer eligibility standards in

applicable Servicing Agreement, exclusive of any experience in mortgage loan
origination, and must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, whose
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(iv) Such
successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor servicer of
the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition
to be
performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the applicable Servicing
Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of servicing to a party that is already
a Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement to add the related Mortgage
Loans to the Servicing Agreement already in effect with such
Servicer;
(v) If
the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of such
transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer
of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of
the
then-current rating of any of the Certificates;
(vi) The
Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated
Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such
successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the
extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal
and
state laws and regulations, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely
mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures
describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor
servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the
Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer
notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective
date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer
to
deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related
records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer
of
servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the
successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Remittance Date but
before the next succeeding Deposit Date, to the Master Servicer, all funds
held
by the applicable Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) on or prior
to
the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the
prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of servicing to
the
successor servicer, continue to forward to such successor servicer, within
one
Business Day of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received
by the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source and
proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the Seller shall
cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing
to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor servicer
to
facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such extent as the successor
servicer may reasonably request.

extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of any Servicing
Agreement, the related Servicing Agreement shall govern, unless such provisions
shall adversely affect the Trustee or the Trust Fund or the status of any REMIC
created hereunder as a REMIC, provided that nothing in this Section 11.15 shall
be construed to limit the rights or obligations of the Master Servicer under
Section 9.05 of this Agreement.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
accordance with Section 2.02(b) of the Trust Agreement, the undersigned, as
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, hereby certifies that as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid
in
full or listed on Schedule I hereto) it (or its custodian) has received the

The
