(b) The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Custodian of the occurrence of any Document Transfer Event of which the
Master Servicer had knowledge. Following the receipt of such notice, the
Depositor shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the Custodian, no later than the Document Transfer Date, copies
(which may be in electronic form mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the
Custodian) of the following additional documents or instruments with respect to
each Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that originals of such documents or
instruments shall be delivered to the Custodian if originals are required under
the law in which the related Mortgaged Property is located in order to exercise
all remedies available to the Trust under applicable law following default by
the related Mortgagor:
(i) The original recorded Mortgage with evidence of recordation
noted thereon or attached thereto, together with any addenda or riders
thereto, or a copy of such recorded Mortgage with such evidence of
recordation certified to be true and correct by the appropriate
governmental recording office; or a copy of such recorded Mortgage with
such evidence of recordation, or if the original Mortgage has been
submitted for recordation but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by an officer of
Xxxxx Fargo Bank or the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Bank Correspondent to be a
true and correct copy of the original Mortgage submitted for recordation;

document transmitted for recordation, if any;
(iii) For each MERS Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Mortgage Loan,

evidence of recording thereon or copies thereof certified by an officer of

Fargo Bank or the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Bank Correspondent that such
attorney's certificate of title is customarily used in lieu of a title
insurance policy in the jurisdiction in which the related mortgage
property is located.
(c) If any assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee is in the process of
being recorded on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to
cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof to be
delivered to the Custodian promptly following its recordation, but in no event
later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. If any Mortgage has been
recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the
Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the
Servicing Agreements to take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust
Estate to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of beneficial
ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS. The Depositor shall also cause to be
delivered to the Custodian any other original mortgage loan document included in
the Owner Mortgage Loan File if a copy thereof has been delivered. The Depositor
shall pay from its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, the
amount of any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trust Estate by
reason of the failure of the Depositor to cause to be delivered to the Custodian
within one (1) year following the Closing Date any assignment of a Mortgage
(except with respect to any Mortgage recorded in the name of MERS) not delivered
to the Custodian on the Closing Date.
In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Depositor may,
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian the assignment of the Mortgage
Loan to the Trustee in a form suitable for recordation, if (i) with respect to a
particular state the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to it
that such recording is not required to make the assignment effective against the
parties to the Mortgage or subsequent purchasers or encumbrances of the
Mortgaged Property or (ii) the Depositor has been advised by each Rating Agency
that non-recordation in a state will not result in a reduction of the rating
assigned by that Rating Agency at the time of initial issuance of the
Certificates. Set forth on Exhibit K attached hereto is a list of all states
where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial
ratings of the Certificates. The Custodian may rely and shall be protected in
relying upon the information contained in such Exhibit K. In the event that the
Custodian receives notice that recording is required to protect the right, title
and interest of the Trustee in and to any such Mortgage Loan for which
recordation of an assignment has not previously been required, the Custodian
shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian shall, within five Business
Days (or such other reasonable period of time mutually agreed upon by the
Custodian and the Trustee) of its receipt of such notice, deliver each
previously unrecorded assignment to the related Servicer for recordation.
(d) Except for Mortgage Notes endorsed in blank, endorsements shall comply
with the following format:

[Signature of Officer]

Except where assignments in blank are authorized or in the case of any

comply with the following:
U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS
TRUSTEE
and its successors and assigns
(e) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Depositor shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Custodian. The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall provide
a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule to any Certificateholders upon written
request made to it at the addresses set forth on Exhibit F, as the same may be
amended from time to time by written notice from such party to the other parties
hereto.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, will declare that
it holds and will hold the documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(a)
above and the other documents constituting a part of the Owner Mortgage Loan
Files or Retained Mortgage Loan Files (after the occurrence of a Document
Transfer Event) delivered to it in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for
the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Upon execution
of this Agreement, the Custodian will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee
an initial certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto, to the effect that,
except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has
received the original Mortgage Notes relating to each Mortgage Loan on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage Loan File within 45 days
after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30
days after completion of such review to the Depositor and the Trustee a final
certification in the form of Exhibit O hereto to the effect that, except as may
be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, all required documents
set forth in Section 2.01(a) have been executed and received and appear regular
on their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based on a comparison of the Mortgage Loan
identifying number, Mortgagor name and street address, and in so doing the
Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such
document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.
If within such 45 day period the Custodian finds any document constituting
a part of an Owner Mortgage Loan File not to have been executed or received or
to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
or not to appear regular on its face, the Custodian shall promptly (and in no
event more than 30 days after completion of the review) notify the Trustee and
the Trustee shall notify the Depositor. The Depositor shall have a period of 60
days after the date of such notice within which to correct or cure any such
defect. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect
is not so corrected or cured, the Depositor will, not later than 60 days after
the Trustee's notice to it referred to above respecting such defect, either (i)
repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof
from the Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price or (ii) if within
two years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by the REMIC
Provisions, substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such material defect
relates, a new mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") having such
characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Depositor set
forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof (other than Section 2.03(b)(i)) would not have
been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage
Loan. In no event shall any Substitute Mortgage Loan have an unpaid principal
balance, as of the date of substitution, greater than the Scheduled Principal
Balance (reduced by the scheduled payment of principal due on the Due Date in
the month of substitution) of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. In
addition, such Substitute Mortgage Loan (i) shall have a Loan-to-Value Ratio
less than or equal to and a Net Mortgage Interest Rate equal to that of the
Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted, (ii) shall have the same Gross Margin
and Index as that of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted and (iii)
shall have the same frequency of mortgage rate adjustment as that of the
Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted.
In the case of a repurchased Mortgage Loan or property, the Repurchase
Price shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account maintained
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
required pursuant to Section 2.01(b) hereof) relating thereto shall be delivered
to the Custodian and the Substitution Principal Amount (if any), together with
(i) interest on such Substitution Principal Amount at the applicable Net
Mortgage Interest Rate to the following Due Date of such Mortgage Loan which is
being substituted for and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
unreimbursed Periodic Advances in respect of interest previously made by the
Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. The Monthly Payment on the
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Due Date in the month of substitution shall not
be part of the Trust Estate. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Request for
Release signed by an officer of the Depositor, the Custodian shall release to
the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
applicable) of the Mortgage Loan being removed. The Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment (or, in the case of a Mortgage
Loan registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall
enforce the obligation of the applicable Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement to take all necessary action to reflect such assignment on the records
of MERS), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Depositor legal and beneficial ownership of such substituted or repurchased
Mortgage Loan or property. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Depositor to substitute a new Mortgage Loan for or repurchase any Mortgage
Loan or property as to which such a material defect in a constituent document
exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
failure of the Custodian to give the final certification or the Trustee to give
any notice within the required time periods shall not affect or relieve the
Depositor's obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.02.
The Trustee shall be responsible for enforcing the Depositor's obligations
under this Section 2.02. If the Trustee receives written notice from the
Custodian or the Master Servicer that the defect is not cured by the Depositor
within 60 days after the Trustee's notice, the Trustee shall enforce the
Depositor's obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute for such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02. In
connection with any substitution permitted by this Section 2.02, the Master
Servicer shall verify that the unpaid principal balance and the Loan-to-Value
Ratio of the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of this Section
2.02.

and the Depositor.

lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the

Jersey covered purchase loan) is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable (as such terms are defined in the then current S&P's LEVELS(R)
Glossary which is now Version 5.6(d), Appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed
by the Georgia Fair Lending Act;
(xxx) With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, no Mortgagor
obtained a prepaid single-premium credit-life, credit disability, credit

was offered mortgage loan products suitable for such Mortgagor and not
designed for less creditworthy mortgagors;
(xxxix) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit
for each Group I Mortgage Loan employs objective criteria which relate the
Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities (except in the case of loan
programs which do not require the Mortgagor to report the Mortgagor's
income or assets, such as "no income, no assets" lending programs or which
rely on the Mortgagor's representation of the Mortgagor's income, such as
"stated income" lending programs) to the proposed payment and such
underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's

reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are made
by the Depositor as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged Property;
the absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on
any Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence or effect of
hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from any
Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental

laws, nor is any agent, person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Depositor
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Depositor with respect to the absence or effect of
fraud in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Owner
Mortgage Loan Files (and Retained Mortgage Loan Files, if applicable) to the
Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Custodian that any of the representations and warranties made in
subsection (b) above is not accurate (referred to herein as a "breach") and,
except (A) for a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in
subsection (b)(i), where such breach is a result of the Cut-Off Date Principal
Balance of a Mortgage Loan being greater, by $5,000 or greater, than the Cut-Off
Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan indicated on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, (B) for a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in
subsection (b)(xiii), (xxvii) or (xxix) with respect to a Group I Mortgage Loan,
or (C) for a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in subsection
(b)(xxx), (xxxi), (xxxii), (xxxiii), (xxxiv), (xxxv), (xxxvi), (xxxvii),
(xxxviii), (xxxix), (xl) and (xli) that such breach materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (not to
exceed two days after discovery) to the other parties to this Agreement and the
Custodian (any Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within
60 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
breach, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects or shall
either (i) repurchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect
thereof from the Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price or (ii)
if within two years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by the
REMIC Provisions, substitute for such Mortgage Loan in the manner described in
Section 2.02. In addition to the foregoing, if a breach of the representation
set forth in clause (b)(xiii) or (xxix) of this Section 2.03 occurs as a result
of a violation of an applicable predatory or abusive lending law, the Depositor
shall reimburse the Trust for all costs and damages including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the Trust as a result of
the violation of such law (such amount, the "Reimbursement Amount"). The
Repurchase Price, the Substitution Principal Amount, if any, plus accrued
interest thereon and the other amounts referred to in Section 2.02, and any
Reimbursement Amount shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. It is
understood and agreed, except with respect to the second preceding sentence,
that the obligation of the Depositor to repurchase or substitute for any
Mortgage Loan or property as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, and such
obligation shall survive until termination of the Trust Estate hereunder.
The Trustee shall be responsible for enforcing the Depositor's
obligations under this Section 2.03. If the Trustee receives written notice from
the Master Servicer or the Custodian that such breach is not cured by the
Depositor within 60 days after the Trustee's notice, the Trustee shall enforce
the Depositor's obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute for
such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.03. In
connection with any substitution permitted by this Section 2.03, the Master
Servicer shall verify that the unpaid principal balance and the Loan-to-Value
Ratio of the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of this Section
2.03.
Section 2.04 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and
acknowledges the delivery of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee. The Paying Agent, concurrently with such delivery, has

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Certificate Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account
for the deposit of funds received by the Master Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by each Servicer pursuant to each of the Servicing
Agreements. Such account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account. The Master
Servicer shall give notice to each Servicer and the Depositor of the location of
the Certificate Account and of any change in the location thereof.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account on the
day of receipt thereof all amounts received by it from any Servicer pursuant to
any of the Servicing Agreements and shall, in addition, deposit into the
Certificate Account the following amounts, in the case of amounts specified in
clauses (i) and (iii), not later than the Business Day preceding the
Distribution Date on which such amounts are required to be distributed to
Certificateholders and, in the case of the amounts specified in clause (ii), not
later than the Business Day next following the day of receipt and posting by the
Master Servicer:
(i) Periodic Advances pursuant to Section 3.03(a) made by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, if any, and any amounts deemed received by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(d);
(ii) in the case of any Mortgage Loan that is repurchased by the
Depositor pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 3.08 or 9.01 or that is

price therefor or, where applicable, any Substitution Principal Amount and
any amounts received in respect of the interest portion of unreimbursed
Periodic Advances; and
(iii) any Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date.
(c) The Master Servicer may cause the funds in the Certificate Account to
be invested in Eligible Investments. No such Eligible Investments will be sold
or disposed of at a gain prior to maturity unless the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to it that such
sale or disposition will not cause the Trust Estate to be subject to Prohibited
Transactions Tax, otherwise subject the Trust Estate to tax, or cause either of
the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while
any Certificates are outstanding. Any amounts deposited in the Certificate
Account prior to the Distribution Date may be invested for the account of the
Master Servicer and any investment income thereon shall be additional
compensation to the Master Servicer for services rendered under this Agreement.
The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized, without any right of reimbursement therefor from the
Trust Estate.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will be deemed to
have received from a Servicer on the applicable Remittance Date for such funds
all amounts deposited by such Servicer into the Custodial P&I Account maintained
in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, if such Custodial P&I
Account is not an Eligible Account as defined in this Agreement, to the extent
such amounts are not actually received by the Master Servicer on such Remittance
Date as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other financial
distress of the depository institution in which such Custodial P&I Account is
being held. To the extent that amounts so deemed to have been received by the
Master Servicer are subsequently remitted to the Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain such amounts.
Section 3.02 Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account.

Certificate Account for the following purposes (limited, in the case of Servicer
reimbursements, to cases where funds in the respective Custodial P&I Account are
not sufficient therefor):
(i) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Servicer
for Periodic Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.03(a) or any Servicer pursuant to any Servicing Agreement
with respect to previous Distribution Dates, such right to reimbursement
pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts received on or in
respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose,

for any Periodic Advances determined in good faith to have become

Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer;
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Trustee
(or, in certain cases, the Depositor) for expenses incurred by it
(including taxes paid on behalf of the Trust Estate) and recoverable by or
reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.03(c), 6.03, the second or third
paragraphs of Section 8.06 or the third sentence of Section 8.13(a) or
pursuant to such Servicer's Servicing Agreement, provided such expenses
are "unanticipated" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions;
(vi) to pay to the Depositor or other purchaser with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been
repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 3.08 or 9.01 or
auctioned pursuant to Section 3.08, all amounts received thereon and not
required to be distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase
or purchase price or Scheduled Principal Balance was determined;
(vii) to remit funds to the Paying Agent in the amounts and in the
manner provided for herein;
(viii) to pay to the Master Servicer any interest earned on or
investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account;
(ix) to pay to the Master Servicer or any Servicer out of
Liquidation Proceeds allocable to interest the amount of any unpaid Master
Servicing Fee or Servicing Fee (as adjusted pursuant to the related
Servicing Agreement) and any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges
or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan;
(x) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional master servicing
compensation any Liquidation Profits which a Servicer is not entitled to
pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(xi) to withdraw from the Certificate Account any amount deposited
in the Certificate Account that was not required to be deposited therein;
and
(xii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment
to and withdrawal from the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall notify
the Depositor and the Trustee of the amount, purpose and party paid pursuant to
Section 3.02(a)(v).
Section 3.03 Advances by Master Servicer and Trustee.
(a) In the event an Other Servicer fails to make any required Periodic
Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as required by the related
Other Servicing Agreement prior to the Business Day preceding the Distribution
Date occurring in the month during which such Periodic Advance is due, the
Master Servicer shall make Periodic Advances to the extent provided hereby. In
the event Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as Servicer fails to make any
required Periodic Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as
required by the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing Agreement prior to the Business Day
preceding the Distribution Date occurring in the month during which such
Periodic Advance is due, the Trustee shall, to the extent required by Section
8.14, make such Periodic Advance to the extent provided hereby, provided that
the Trustee has previously received the certificate of the Master Servicer
described in the following sentence and then, so long as such failure to advance
shall not have been remedied by 5:00 PM New York time on the Business Day
following notice provided by the Trustee to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, the Trustee may
terminate the rights and obligations of Xxxxx Fargo Bank in accordance with the
provisions of the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall certify to the Trustee with respect to any such Distribution Date (i) the
amount of Periodic Advances required of Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as
Servicer or such Other Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) the amount actually
advanced by Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as Servicer or such Other Servicer,
(iii) the amount that the Trustee or Master Servicer is required to advance
hereunder and (iv) whether the Master Servicer has determined that it reasonably
believes that such Periodic Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. Amounts
advanced by the Trustee or Master Servicer shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will
be obligated to make a Periodic Advance that it reasonably believes to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee may conclusively rely for any determination
to be made by it hereunder upon the determination of the Master Servicer as set
forth in its certificate.
(b) To the extent an Other Servicer fails to make an advance on account of
the taxes or insurance premiums with respect to a Mortgage Loan required
pursuant to the related Other Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if
the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure of the Servicer,
advance such funds and take such steps as are necessary to pay such taxes or
insurance premiums. To the extent Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as Servicer
fails to make an advance on account of the taxes or insurance premiums with
respect to a Mortgage Loan required pursuant to the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if the Master Servicer knows of such
failure of Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as Servicer, certify to the Trustee
that such failure has occurred. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee
shall advance such funds and take such steps as are necessary to pay such taxes
or insurance premiums.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Certificate Account for any Periodic Advance made by it
under Section 3.03(a) to the extent described in Section 3.02(a)(i) and (a)
(ii). The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(v) for any advance by it pursuant to Section
3.03(b). The Master Servicer shall diligently pursue restoration of such amount
to the Certificate Account from the related Servicer. The Master Servicer shall,
to the extent it has not already done so, upon the request of the Trustee,
withdraw from the Certificate Account and remit to the Trustee any amounts to
which the Trustee is entitled as reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.02 (a)(i),
(ii) and (v).
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.03(a) and (b), neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to pay or advance any amount which
any Servicer was required, but failed, to deposit in the Certificate Account.
Section 3.04 Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Owner Mortgage
Loan Files and Retained Mortgage Loan Files.
In connection with the deposit by a Servicer into the Certificate Account
of the proceeds from a Liquidated Loan or of a Prepayment in Full, the Master
Servicer or applicable Servicer shall confirm that all amounts required to be
remitted to the Certificate Account in connection with such Mortgage Loan have
been so deposited, and the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer shall deliver
two copies of any related Request for Release to the Custodian. The Custodian
shall, within five Business Days of its receipt of such a Request for Release,
release the related Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File,
if applicable) to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as requested by the
Master Servicer or such Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Certificate Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any insurance
policies, or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien
of the Mortgage, the Servicer of such Mortgage Loan shall deliver to the Master
Servicer or Custodian two copies of a Request for Release. Upon the Master
Servicer's receipt of any such Request for Release, the Master Servicer shall
promptly forward such request in hard copy or in electronic format acceptable to
the Custodian. The Custodian shall, within five Business Days, release the
related Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
applicable) to the Master Servicer or such Servicer. Any such Request for
Release shall obligate the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be,
to return the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
applicable) to the Custodian by the sixtieth day following the release thereof,
unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Certificate Account or
(ii) the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
applicable) or such document has been delivered 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. Upon receipt of two
copies of a Request for Release stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated
and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such
liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Certificate Account have
been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan,
the Custodian shall amend its records.
Upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause (ii) of the preceding
paragraph, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer or such
Servicer, as directed by the Master Servicer, court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale
in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure proceeding
or trustee's sale.
Section 3.05 Annual Compliance Statements.
The Master Servicer shall deliver in electronic form, or
otherwise make available to the Depositor, and the Master Servicer shall cause
each Additional Master Servicer engaged by it and each Servicer to deliver, in
electronic form, or otherwise make available, to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and each Rating Agency on or before March 5 of each year or if such day
is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure
period, but in no event later than March 15), commencing in March 2007, a copy
of a certificate (followed by a hard copy to the party or parties receiving such
certificate within 10 calendar days) in the form required by Item 1123 of
Regulation AB, to the effect that (i) an authorized officer of the Master
Servicer, the Additional Master Servicer or the Servicer, as the case may be,
has reviewed (or a review has been made under his or her supervision of) such
party's activities under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement,
in the case of a Servicer, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an
Additional Master Servicer, during the prior calendar year or portion thereof
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such
party has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or the
applicable Servicing Agreement, in the case of a Servicer, or such other
applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Master Servicer, in all
material respects throughout the prior calendar year or portion thereof or, if
there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect,
specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. If any of the certificates delivered pursuant to this Section 3.05
disclose that there has been a failure to fulfill any obligation in any material
respect then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor and forward
a copy of such certificate to the Depositor, and the Depositor shall review such
certificate and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer as to the
nature of any failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement or the
applicable Servicing Agreement, in the case of a Servicer, or such other
applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Master Servicer, in any
material respect.
Section 3.06 Title, Management and Disposition of Any REO Mortgage
Loan.
The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the applicable
Servicer to administer each REO Mortgage Loan at all times so that each REO
Mortgage Loan qualifies as "foreclosure property" under the REMIC Provisions and
that it does not earn any "net income from foreclosure property" which is
subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions. In the event that a Servicer is
unable to dispose of any REO Mortgage Loan within the period mandated by each of
the Servicing Agreements, the Master Servicer shall monitor such Servicer to
verify that such REO Mortgage Loan is auctioned to the highest bidder within the
period so specified. In the event of any such sale of a REO Mortgage Loan, the
Custodian shall, at the written request of the Master Servicer and upon being
supported with appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days of the
deposit by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such sale or auction into the
Certificate Account, release or cause to be released to the entity identified by
the Master Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan
File, if applicable, and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the
REO Mortgage Loan and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan File, if
applicable, or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. Neither the Trustee, the Master
Servicer nor any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Estate, shall provide
financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of an REO Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.07 Amendments to Servicing Agreements,
Modification of Standard Provisions.
(a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.07(b) and the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer may, from time to time, to the extent permitted by the applicable
Servicing Agreement, make such modifications and amendments to such Servicing
Agreement as the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate to confirm or
carry out more fully the intent and purpose of such Servicing Agreement and the
duties, responsibilities and obligations to be performed by the Servicer
thereunder. Such modifications may only be made if they are consistent with the
REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance
of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee and the Depositor such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate
setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the
modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii)
the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification.
(b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a
Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a),
which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any
Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or
ambiguity, to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or
(ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other
purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders.
The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders
may be established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to
the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the
current rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its
discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment
if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.
(c)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the
Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any
Certificateholder or the Trustee, enter into an amendment (A) to an Other
Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating or reducing Month End
Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full Unscheduled Principal
Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer not later than the
24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous
Business Day), (B) to the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing Agreement for the purpose
of changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month (or if
such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day) or (C) to a
Servicing Agreement for the purpose of effecting or facilitating compliance by
the Servicer with Regulation AB or to conform a Servicing Agreement to industry
practices relating to Regulation AB.
(ii) The Master Servicer may direct Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as
Servicer to enter into an amendment to the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing Agreement
for the purposes described in Section 3.07(c)(i)(B) or (C).
Section 3.08 Oversight of Servicing.
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans by each Servicer and the performance by each Servicer of all
services, duties, responsibilities and obligations (including the obligation to
maintain an Errors and Omissions Policy and Fidelity Bond) that are to be
observed or performed by the Servicer under its respective Servicing Agreement.
In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a
manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices and in a manner
consistent with the terms and provisions of any insurance policy required to be
maintained by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or
any Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer acknowledges that prior to taking
certain actions required to service the Mortgage Loans, each Servicing Agreement
provides that the Servicer thereunder must notify, consult with, obtain the
consent of, waiver from, or otherwise follow the instructions of the Master
Servicer. In the case of any request for waiver from a Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall promptly instruct such Servicer or otherwise respond to such
Servicer's request. The Master Servicer shall not waive compliance by a Servicer
with those provisions of its Servicing Agreement which are required to enable
the Depositor and the Master Servicer to satisfy the Trust's ongoing reporting
obligations under the Exchange Act. In addition, in no event will the Master
Servicer instruct such Servicer to take any action, give any consent to action
by such Servicer or waive compliance by such Servicer with any provision of such
Servicer's Servicing Agreement if any resulting action or failure to act would
be inconsistent with the requirements of the Rating Agencies that rated the
Certificates, would be inconsistent with the requirements of Regulation AB or
would otherwise have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders. Any such
action or failure to act shall be deemed to have an adverse effect on the
Certificateholders if such action or failure to act either results in (i) the
downgrading of the rating assigned by either Rating Agency to the Certificates,
(ii) the loss by the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC of REMIC status
for federal income tax purposes or (iii) the imposition of any Prohibited
Transaction Tax or any federal taxes on any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer shall have full power
and authority in its sole discretion to take any action with respect to the
Trust Estate as may be necessary or advisable to avoid the circumstances
specified including clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence.
For the purposes of determining whether any modification of a Mortgage
Loan shall be permitted by the Master Servicer, such modification shall be
construed as a substitution of the modified Mortgage Loan for the Mortgage Loan
originally deposited in the Trust Estate if it would be a "significant
modification" within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of
the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No modification shall be approved unless
(i) the modified Mortgage Loan would qualify as a Substitute Mortgage Loan under
Section 2.02 and (ii) with respect to any modification that occurs more than
three months after the Closing Date and is not the result of a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default under the Mortgage Loan, there is delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to modify
the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as
giving rise to a new debt instrument for federal income tax purposes as
described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that no such Opinion of
Counsel need be delivered if the sole purpose of the modification is to reduce
the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan as a result of a Curtailment such that
the Mortgage Loan is fully amortized by its original maturity date.
During the term of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult fully
with each Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform and carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder and otherwise exercise
reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by it under its Servicing
Agreement.
The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee under this
Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
The Master Servicer shall administer the Trust Estate on behalf of the
Trustee and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or (subject to the
requirements of Section 6.06) through one or more Subcontractors, to do any and
all things in connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and from time to
time as may be required thereafter, the Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer or its Subcontractors with any powers of attorney and such other
documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to
carry out its administrative duties hereunder.
The Depositor shall have a limited option to repurchase any defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the following time periods: (i)
beginning on the first day of the second month following the month in which the
Master Servicer has reported that a Servicer has initiated foreclosure
proceedings with respect to such a defaulted Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase
option expiring on the last day of such second following month; (ii) beginning
on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Master
Servicer has reported that such defaulted Mortgage Loan has become an REO
Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such
second following month; and (iii) beginning on the day on which a Servicer
accepts a contractual commitment by a third party to purchase the Mortgaged
Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, with such
repurchase option expiring on the earlier of the last day of the month in which
such contractual commitment was accepted by the Servicer or the day immediately
prior to the day on which the closing occurs with respect to such third party
purchase of the Mortgaged Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall be entitled to repurchase at its option any
Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate which, pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, Xxxxx Fargo Bank requests the Depositor to
repurchase and to sell to Xxxxx Fargo Bank to facilitate the exercise of Xxxxx
Fargo Bank's rights against the originator or a prior holder of such Mortgage
Loan. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this
paragraph shall be the Repurchase Price. Upon the receipt of such Repurchase
Price, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification
required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian, if any, shall
promptly release to the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File and Retained
Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, relating to the Mortgage Loan being
repurchased.
In the event that (i) the Master Servicer determines at any time that,
notwithstanding the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(b),
any Mortgage Loan is not a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code and (ii) the Trustee is unable to enforce the obligation of the
Depositor to purchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 within two
months of such determination, the Master Servicer shall cause such Mortgage Loan
to be auctioned to the highest bidder and sold out of the Trust Estate no later
than the date 90 days after such determination. In the event of any such sale of
a Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall, at the written request of the Master
Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms therefor, within five
Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such
auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause to be released to the
entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan File,
Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser
title to the Mortgage Loan and the Custodian shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage
Loan File, if applicable, or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. None of the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Master Servicer or any Servicer, acting on behalf of the
Trustee, shall provide financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of a
Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, pursuant to the
Servicing Agreements, object to the foreclosure upon, or other related
conversion of the ownership of, any Mortgaged Property by the related Servicer
if (i) the Master Servicer believes such Mortgaged Property may be contaminated
with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances or (ii) such
Servicer does not agree to administer such Mortgaged Property, once the related
Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, in a manner which would not result
in a federal tax being imposed upon the Trust Estate or the Upper-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier REMIC.
At the direction of the Depositor, the Master Servicer may enter into a
special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage
Interest of a Class of Class B Certificates or a holder of a class of securities
representing interests in the Class B Certificates and/or other subordinated
mortgage pass-through certificates (such entity, a "Special Servicer"), such
agreement (a "Special Servicing Agreement") to be substantially in the form of
Exhibit M hereto or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the
ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of
such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such holder may (a) purchase any Mortgage Loans that are more
than 180 days delinquent and (b) instruct the Master Servicer to instruct a
Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement to
commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage
Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that
would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation
Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in
accordance with its normal procedures.
The Master Servicer shall monitor the rating of Xxxxx Fargo & Company and
upon the occurrence of a Document Transfer Event relating to such rating, shall
promptly notify the Depositor, Trustee and Custodian of the occurrence of such
Document Transfer Event.
Section 3.09 Termination and Substitution of Servicing Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of any event for which a Servicer may be terminated
pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Depositor and the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying that an
event has occurred which may justify termination of such Servicing Agreement,
describing the circumstances surrounding such event and recommending what action
should be taken by the Trustee with respect to such Servicer. If the Master
Servicer recommends that such Servicing Agreement be terminated, the Master
Servicer's certification must state that the breach is material and not merely
technical in nature. Based upon such certification, the Master Servicer, or if
provided by the applicable Other Servicing Agreement and upon written direction
of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, shall promptly terminate such Other
Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall terminate the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 19 thereof. The Master
Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or assessed against the Trustee in
connection with termination of a Servicing Agreement at the direction of the
Master Servicer except to the extent that such claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses are incurred as a result of the bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross
negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its obligations hereunder. To
the extent that the costs and expenses (including any amounts paid by the Master
Servicer pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and
expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation
of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default
by such Servicer, (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and (iii) any
costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with a servicing transfer) are not
fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the
Certificate Account. If the Master Servicer or Trustee terminates an Other
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may enter into a substitute Servicing Agreement
with the Master Servicer or, at the Master Servicer's nomination, with another
mortgage loan service company acceptable to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
each Rating Agency under which the Master Servicer or such substitute servicer,
as the case may be, shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all
liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or
otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by such
Servicer under such terminated Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee terminates
the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall enter into a
substitute Servicing Agreement with another mortgage loan service company
acceptable to the Trustee and each Rating Agency under which such substitute
servicer shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties,
responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been,
satisfied, performed and carried out by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, in its capacity as
Servicer, under such terminated Servicing Agreement. It is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition not
to exceed ninety (90) days before the servicing functions can be transferred to
such substitute servicer. Until such time as the Trustee enters into a
substitute servicing agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously
serviced by an Other Servicer and the transition period relating to the transfer
of such servicing expires, the Master Servicer shall assume, satisfy, perform
and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to have been satisfied,
performed and carried out by an Other Servicer under its terminated Servicing
Agreement. However, in no event shall the Master Servicer be deemed to have
assumed the obligations of a Servicer to advance payments of principal and
interest on a delinquent Mortgage Loan in excess of the Master Servicer's
independent Periodic Advance obligation under Section 3.03 of this Agreement. As
compensation for the Master Servicer of any servicing obligations fulfilled or
assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any
servicing compensation to which a Servicer would have been entitled if the
Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated.
Section 3.10 Application of Net Liquidation Proceeds.
For all purposes under this agreement, Net Liquidation Proceeds received
from a Servicer shall be allocated first to accrued and unpaid interest on the
related Mortgage Loan and then to the unpaid principal balance thereof.
Section 3.11 Assessment of Servicing Compliance; Registered Public
Accounting Firm Attestation Reports.
(a) The Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall furnish to the
Depositor, and the Trustee, any Special Servicer (if applicable) and the
Custodian, at their own expense, shall furnish, or otherwise make available, and
shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party to
furnish, and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable effort to cause each
Servicer to furnish with respect to such Servicer and each Servicing Function
Participant engaged by such Servicer and identified to the Master Servicer, at
such party's expense, to the Master Servicer, not later than March 5 of each
year, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (with a 10 day
cure period, but in no event later than March 15), commencing in March 2007, a
copy of a report, followed by a hard copy to the Master Servicer within 10
calendar days, signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicing Function Participant, the Special Servicer
(if applicable) or the Servicer, as applicable, on assessment of compliance
with, at a minimum, the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains:
(i) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing

No later than 30 days following the end of each fiscal year, each of the

the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be
expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why
it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for

Servicer or the Depositor, such report shall contain or be accompanied by a
consent of such accounting firm to inclusion or incorporation of such report in

execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad

information from any other party hereto, any Servicer, any Special Servicer (if

such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful

the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties identified on Exhibit U
shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, to the extent known by a

information from any other party hereto, any Servicer, the Custodian or any
Special Servicer (if applicable) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or
file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) In the event that the Master Servicer is unable to timely file with
the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information

party whose cooperation is required in connection with the preparation of such
amendment; provided however that such notice shall not be required in connection
with an amendment to Form 10-D due to a revision made to any Distribution Date
Statement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the
Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 3.12(d) related to the timely
preparation and filing of a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this
Section. The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or
10-K, where such failure results from the Master Servicer's inability or failure
to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto, any Servicer, the Custodian or any Special Servicer (if applicable)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence,

thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall recommence preparing
and filing reports on Form 10-D, 10-K and 8-K as required pursuant to this
Section and the parties hereto, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Custodian and
any Special Servicer (if applicable) will again have the obligations set forth
in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section.

(iii) Distributions on the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. On each
Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed in respect of each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest at the pass-through rate thereon, as
described in the final paragraph of this Section 4.01(a)(iii). On each
Distribution Date, all distributions of principal shall be made first, to the
Class I-LS Interest and the Class II-LS Interest, so as to keep the principal
balances thereof equal to 0.1% of the Group I Subordinate Amount and Group II
Subordinate Amount, respectively (except that if any such excess is a larger
number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal
shall be distributed to the Class I-LS Interest and the Class II-LS Interest
such that the Subordinate Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, any
remaining principal to the Class I-L Interest and Class II-L Interest. Such
amounts distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of
principal and interest with respect to any Distribution Date are referred to
herein collectively as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount." Any distributions
made to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests pursuant to this paragraph shall
be made (a) from Group I Pool Distribution Amounts distributed in respect of
principal to Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "I"
and (b) from Group II Pool Distribution Amounts distributed in respect of
principal to Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral
"II."
Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on
each Distribution Date first, to the Class I-LS Interest and Class II-LS
Interest so as to keep their principal balances equal to 0.1% of the Group I
Subordinate Amount and Group II Subordinate Amount, respectively (except that if
any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period,
the least amount of Realized Losses shall be allocated to the Class I-LS
Interest and Class II-LS Interest such that the Subordinate Balance Ratio is
maintained); and second, the remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to the
Class I-L Interest and Class II-L Interest. Any Realized Losses allocated to the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests pursuant to this paragraph shall be (a) from
Realized Losses allocated to Loan Group I in the case of Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "I" and (b) from Realized Losses
allocated to Loan Group II in the case of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests
beginning with the numeral "II."
Recoveries and Reimbursement Amounts shall be applied to the
Uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in a manner analogous to the application of
Realized Losses to the Uncertificated Lower Tier Interests.
As of any date, the aggregate principal balance of the Class I-L Interest
and the Class I-LS Interest shall equal the principal balance of Loan Group I.
As of any date, the aggregate principal balance of the Class II-L Interest and
the Class II-LS Interest shall equal the principal balance of Loan Group II.
The pass-through rate with respect to the Class I-L Interest and Class
I-LS Interest shall be the Net WAC of the Group I Mortgage Loans. The
pass-through rate with respect to the Class II-L Interest and Class II-LS
Interest shall be the Net WAC of the Group II Mortgage Loans. Any Non-Supported
Interest Shortfalls will be allocated to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest
in the same relative proportions as interest is allocated to such Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest.
(b) (i) Group I-A Certificates
On each Distribution Date occurring prior to the Subordination Depletion
Date, the Group I Principal Distribution Amount for the Group I-A Certificates
will be allocated among and distributed in reduction of the Principal Balances
of the Group I-A Certificates, concurrently, to the Class I-A-1 and Class I-A-2
Certificates, pro rata.
(ii) Group II-A Certificates
On each Distribution Date occurring prior to the Subordination Depletion
Date, the Group II Principal Distribution Amount for the Group II-A Certificates
will be allocated among and distributed in reduction of the Principal Balances
of the Group II-A Certificates, sequentially, as follows:
first, to the Class II-A-R Certificates; and
second, concurrently, as follows:
(A) 39.7792856071% to the Class II-A-1 and Class II-A-6
Certificates, pro rata; and
(B) 60.2207143929%, sequentially, to the Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3,

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (X) on any Distribution Date
occurring prior to the Subordination Depletion Date but on or after the date on
which the Principal Balances of the Group I-A Certificates or Group II-A
Certificates have been reduced to zero and on which (a) the Aggregate
Subordinated Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than 5.50% or (b) the
average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days
or more over the preceding six months as a percentage of the Class B Principal
Balance is greater than or equal to 100%, the remaining Group of Class A
Certificates will be entitled to receive as principal, in addition to any
principal payments described in Section 4.01(a) above, in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b)(i) or (ii) above and until the aggregate
Principal Balance of each such Group of Class A Certificates has been reduced to
zero, amounts otherwise distributable pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the
Class B Loan Group Optimal Principal Amounts with respect to the related Loan
Group (other than Liquidation Proceeds that are not Partial Liquidation
Proceeds) (without regard to this clause (iii)) first to the Class B-6
Certificates pursuant to Paragraph eighteenth of 4.01(a)(ii) above, second to
the Class B-5 Certificates pursuant to Paragraph fifteenth of 4.01(a)(ii) above,
third to the Class B-4 Certificates pursuant to Paragraph twelfth of 4.01(a)(ii)

Certificates and (Y) if on any Distribution Date the Group I-A Principal Balance
or Group II-A Principal Balance (after giving effect to all distributions on
such Distribution Date) is greater than the Group I Adjusted Pool Amount or
Group II Adjusted Pool Amount, respectively (the Group I-A Certificates or Group
II-A Certificates, as applicable, in such instance, the "Undercollateralized
Group"), the Class A Certificates of the Undercollateralized Group will be
entitled to receive first in respect of any Class A Unpaid Interest Shortfalls
therefor (including any Group I Interest Shortfall Amount or Group II Interest
Shortfall Amount, as applicable, arising on such Distribution Date) and second
as principal, in addition to any principal payments described in Section
4.01(a)(i) above, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
4.01(b)(i) or (ii) above and until the aggregate Principal Balance of the Class

Amount").
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on
or subsequent to the Subordination Depletion Date, (I) the Group I-A Principal
Distribution Amount shall be distributed among the Classes of Group I-A
Certificates and (II) the Group II-A Principal Distribution Amount shall be
distributed among the Classes of Group II-A Certificates, pro rata, in
accordance with their outstanding Principal Balances without regard to either
the proportions or the priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b)(i) or (ii).
(d)(i) For purposes of determining whether the Classes of Class B
Certificates are eligible to receive unscheduled principal distributions (other
than Liquidation Proceeds that are not Partial Liquidation Proceeds) with
respect to any Distribution Date, the following tests shall apply:
(A) if the Current Class B-1 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-1 Fractional Interest and the Class B-1 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and
Class B-6 Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions of
such unscheduled principal; or
(B) if the Current Class B-2 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-2 Fractional Interest and the Class B-2 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6
Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions of such
unscheduled principal; or
(C) if the Current Class B-3 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-3 Fractional Interest and the Class B-3 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates
shall not be eligible to receive distributions of such unscheduled
principal; or
(D) if the Current Class B-4 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-4 Fractional Interest and the Class B-4 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates shall not
be eligible to receive distributions of such unscheduled principal; or
(E) if the Current Class B-5 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-5 Fractional Interest and the Class B-5 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-6 Certificates shall not be eligible to
receive distributions of such unscheduled principal.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date the
aggregate principal distributions to Holders of the Classes of Class B
Certificates would reduce the Principal Balances of the Classes of Class B
Certificates below zero, first the Group I Class B Prepayment Percentage and
Group II Class B Prepayment Percentage of any affected Class of Class B
Certificates for such Distribution Date beginning with the affected Class with
the lowest numerical Class designation and then, if necessary, the Group I Class
B Percentage and Group II Class B Percentage of such Class of the Class B
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced to the respective
percentages necessary to bring the Principal Balance of such Class of Class B
Certificates to zero. The Class B Prepayment Percentages and the Class B
Percentages of the remaining Classes of Class B Certificates will be recomputed
substituting for the Group I Subordinated Prepayment Percentage and Group II
Subordinated Prepayment Percentage and Group I Subordinated Percentage and Group
II Subordinated Percentage in such computations the difference between (A) the
Group I Subordinated Prepayment Percentage or Group II Subordinated Prepayment
Percentage or Group I Subordinated Percentage or Group II Subordinated
Percentage, as the case may be, and (B) the percentages determined in accordance
with the preceding sentence necessary to bring the Principal Balances of the
affected Classes of Class B Certificates to zero; provided, however, that if the
Principal Balances of all the Classes of Class B Certificates eligible to
receive distributions of unscheduled principal in accordance with this section
shall be reduced to zero on such Distribution Date, the Group I Class B
Prepayment Percentage and Group II Class B Prepayment Percentage of the Class of
Class B Certificates with the lowest numerical Class designation which would
otherwise be ineligible to receive such distributions of unscheduled principal
in accordance with this Section shall equal the remainder of the Group I
Subordinated Prepayment Percentage and Group II Subordinated Prepayment
Percentage for such Distribution Date minus the sum of the Group I Class B
Prepayment Percentages and Group II Class B Prepayment Percentages of the
Classes of Class B Certificates having lower numerical Class designations, if
any. Any entitlement of any Class of Class B Certificates to principal payments
solely pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not cause such Class to be regarded as
being eligible to receive such unscheduled principal distributions for the
purpose of applying the definition of its Group I Class B Prepayment Percentage
or Group II Class B Prepayment Percentage.
(e) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Upper-Tier
Certificate Account, which shall be a separate trust account and an Eligible
Account (provided that such account may be a deemed sub-account of the Payment
Account so long as the Master Servicer is the Paying Agent). On each
Distribution Date other than the Final Distribution Date (if such Final
Distribution Date is in connection with a purchase of the assets of the Trust
Estate by the Depositor), the Paying Agent shall, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, from funds available on deposit in the Payment Account, be deemed to
deposit, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer or otherwise, into the
Upper-Tier Certificate Account the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount. The Master
Servicer may clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
(f) On each Distribution Date other than the Final Distribution Date (if
such Final Distribution Date is in connection with a purchase of the assets of
the Trust Estate by the Depositor), the Paying Agent shall from funds remitted
to it by the Master Servicer, distribute to each Certificateholder of record on
the preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the
final distribution to Certificateholders or in the last paragraph of this
Section 4.01(f) respecting the final distribution in respect of any Class)
either in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account of such
Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder holds Certificates having a Denomination at
least equal to that specified in Section 11.15, and has so notified the Paying
Agent at least seven Business Days prior to the Distribution Date or, if such
Holder holds Certificates having, in the aggregate, a Denomination less than the
requisite minimum Denomination or if such Holder holds the Class II-A-R
Certificate or has not so notified the Paying Agent, by check mailed to such
Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register, such
Holder's share of the Group I-A Distribution Amount or Group II-A Distribution
Amount, as applicable, with respect to each Class of Class A Certificates and
the Class B Distribution Amount with respect to each Class of Class B
Certificates.
In the event that, on any Distribution Date prior to the Final
Distribution Date, the Principal Balance of any Class of Class A Certificates
(other than the Class II-A-R Certificate) or the Principal Balance of any Class
of Class B Certificates would be reduced to zero, the Master Servicer shall, as
soon as practicable after the Determination Date relating to such Distribution
Date, send notice to the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall then send a notice
to each Certificateholder of such Class with a copy to the Certificate
Registrar, specifying that the final distribution with respect to such Class
will be made on such Distribution Date only upon the presentation and surrender
of such Certificateholder's Certificates at the office or agency of the
Certificate Registrar therein specified; provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice will not entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond the
interest payable with respect to such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01(a)(i).
(g) The Paying Agent shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts
as may be required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions from
withholding and related certifications required to be furnished by
Certificateholders and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral
tax treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by
Certificateholders with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to
Persons other than U.S. Persons ("Non-U.S. Persons"). Amounts withheld pursuant
to this Section 4.01(g) shall be treated as having been distributed to the
related Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement. For the purposes
of this paragraph, a "U.S. Person" is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation or partnership (unless, in the case of a partnership,
Treasury regulations are adopted that provide otherwise) created or organized in
or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia, including an entity treated as a corporation or partnership for
federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States
federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of
such trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable
Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are
eligible to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons).

Principal Balance, Class B-2 Principal Balance, Class B-3 Principal Balance,
Class B-4 Principal Balance, Class B-5 Principal Balance and Class B-6 Principal
Balance.

(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, the interest portion of
Realized Losses occurring with respect to Group I Mortgage Loans and Group II
Mortgage Loans will be allocated after the Subordination Depletion Date among
the outstanding Classes of Group I-A and Group II-A Certificates, respectively,
based on their Group I-A Interest Percentage and Group II-A Interest Percentage.
(d) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.02 will be
allocated as follows: (i) Liquidated Loan Losses on Liquidated Loans for which
the Liquidation Proceeds were received during, and Bankruptcy Losses incurred in

Unscheduled Principal Receipts that is a Mid-Month Receipt Period will be
allocated on the Determination Date in the month following the month in which
such Mid-Month Receipt Period ended and (ii) Liquidated Loan Losses on
Liquidated Loans for which the Liquidation Proceeds were received during, and
Bankruptcy Losses incurred in a period corresponding to, an Unscheduled
Principal Receipt Period for Full Unscheduled Principal Receipts that is a Prior
Month Receipt Period will be allocated on the Determination Date in the second
month following the month which is such Prior Month Receipt Period.
(e) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of
Realized Losses and recoveries attributable to previously allocated Realized
Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02 will be allocated to each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest as provided in Section 4.01(a)(iii).
(f) With respect to any Distribution Date, the interest portion of
Realized Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02 will be allocated to
each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest as provided in Section 4.01(a)(iii).
Section 4.03 Paying Agent.
(a) The Paying Agent shall establish and maintain a Payment Account, which
shall be a separate trust account (unless the Master Servicer is the Paying
Agent, in which case, the Certificate Account may be the Payment Account) and an
Eligible Account, in which the Master Servicer shall cause to be deposited from
funds in the Certificate Account or, to the extent required hereunder, from its
own funds (i) at or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the Business Day

obligations of the institution that maintains such account, in which case such
Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Distribution Date), and
shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. All income and gain realized
from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and
shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the
Payment Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as
realized. The Paying Agent may withdraw from the Payment Account any amount
deposited in the Payment Account that was not required to be deposited therein
and may clear and terminate the Payment Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

Master Servicer.
(b) The Master Servicer's responsibility for disbursing the information
set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 4.04 to each Holder of a
Certificate, the Depositor and other interested parties is limited to the
availability, timeliness and the accuracy of the information provided by each
Servicer. The Master Servicer will make a copy of each Distribution Date
Statement provided pursuant to this Section 4.04 (and, at its option, any
additional files containing the same information in an alternative format)
available each month to Certificateholders and other interested parties, and
other parties to this Agreement via the Master Servicer's internet website,
which in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, is located at "xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx." In
addition, the Paying Agent shall provide copies of the Distribution Date
Statement and the annual statements required pursuant to Section 4.04(a) to
Persons making written requests therefor at its Corporate Trust Office.
Assistance in using the internet website can be obtained by calling the Master
Servicer's customer service desk, which in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, is at
(000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution method are
entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the
customer service desk and indicating such. The Master Servicer shall have the
right to change the way the Distribution Date Statement is distributed in order
to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible and the Master
Servicer shall provide timely and adequate notification to the
Certificateholders and the parties to this Agreement regarding any such changes.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not be
responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date Statement and may affix
thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
Section 4.05 Reports to Mortgagors and the Internal Revenue
Service.
The Master Servicer shall, in each year beginning after the Cut-Off Date,
cause the applicable Servicers to make the reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property as required by Code Section 6050J. In
order to facilitate this reporting process, the Master Servicer shall request
that each Servicer, on or before January 15th of each year, shall provide to the
Internal Revenue Service, with copies to the Master Servicer, reports relating
to each instance occurring during the previous calendar year in which such
Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trustee acquires an interest in a Mortgaged
Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or partial
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer, or (ii) knows or has
reason to know that a Mortgaged Property has been abandoned. Reports from the
Servicers shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Code Section 6050J. In addition, each Servicer shall
provide the Master Servicer with sufficient information to allow the Master
Servicer to, for each year ending after the Cut-Off Date, provide, or cause to
be provided, to the Internal Revenue Service and the Mortgagors such information
as is required under Code Sections 6050H (regarding payment of interest) and
6050P (regarding cancellation of indebtedness).
Section 4.06 Calculation of Amounts; Binding Effect of
Interpretations and Actions of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer will compute the amount of all distributions to be
made on the Certificates and all losses to be allocated to the Certificates. In
the event that the Master Servicer concludes that any ambiguity or uncertainty
exists in any provisions of this Agreement relating to distributions to be made
on the Certificates, the allocation of losses to the Certificates or otherwise,
the interpretation of such provisions and any actions taken by the Master
Servicer in good faith to implement such interpretation shall be binding upon
Certificateholders.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Class A and Class B Certificates shall be issued only in minimum
Denominations of a Single Certificate and, except for the Class II-A-R
Certificate, integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except, if
necessary, for one Certificate of each Class (other than the Class II-A-R
Certificate) that evidences one Single Certificate plus such additional
principal portion as is required in order for all Certificates of such Class to
equal the aggregate Original Principal Balance of such Class), and shall be
substantially in the respective forms set forth as Exhibits X-X-X-0, X-X-X-0,
X-XX-X-0, X-XX-X-0, X-XX-X-0, A-II-A-4, A-II-A-5, A-II-A-6, A-II-A-R, X-0, X-0,
X-0, X-0, X-0, B-6 and C (reverse side of Certificates) hereto. On original
issue the Certificates shall be executed and delivered by the Paying Agent to or
upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of
the documents specified in Section 2.01(a). The aggregate principal portion
evidenced by the Class A and Class B Certificates shall be the sum of the
amounts specifically set forth in the respective Certificates. The Certificates
shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Paying Agent
by any Responsible Officer thereof. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Paying
Agent shall bind the Paying Agent notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the countersigning of such
Certificates and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless manually countersigned
by a Responsible Officer of the Authenticating Agent, or unless there appears on
such Certificate a certificate of authentication executed by the Authenticating
Agent by manual signature, and such countersignature or certificate upon a
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.
Until such time as Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section
5.07, each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
[the Clearing Agency] to the Depositor or its agent for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the
name of [the Clearing Agency] or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of [the Clearing Agency] and any payment is made to [the Clearing
Agency], any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or
to any person is wrongful since the registered owner hereof, [the Clearing
Agency], has an interest herein."
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in
the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to The
Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the
Depositor or to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of The
Depository Trust Company, if directed to do so pursuant instructions from The
Depository Trust Company. Such Certificates shall initially be registered in the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency,
and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Beneficial Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 5.07. Unless and until definitive, fully registered certificates
("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 5.07:
(i) the provisions of this Section 5.01(b) shall be in full force
and effect;
(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar,
the Paying Agent and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all
purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry
Certificates and the taking of actions by the Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates) as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.01(b)
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 5.01(b) shall control;
(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law, the
rules, regulations and procedures of the Clearing Agency and agreements
between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to actions by
Certificateholders shall, with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates,
refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the
Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to
distributions, notices, reports and statements to Certificateholders
shall, with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, refer to
distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency or
its nominee, as registered holder of the Book-Entry Certificates, as the
case may be, for distribution to Beneficial Owners in accordance with the
procedures of the Clearing Agency; and
(v) the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among
the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
principal and interest on the Certificates to the Clearing Agency
Participants, for distribution by such Clearing Agency Participants to the
Beneficial Owners or their nominees.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates evidencing specified Voting Interests, such direction or consent
shall be given by Beneficial Owners having the requisite Voting Interests,
acting through the Clearing Agency.
Unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to Beneficial
Owners pursuant to Section 5.07, copies of the Distribution Date Statements
shall be available to Beneficial Owners upon written request to the Paying Agent
at its Corporate Trust Office.
Section 5.02 Registration of Certificates.
(a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Master Servicer shall act as, or shall appoint, a Certificate Registrar for
the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.06 (and
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02) the Paying Agent shall execute,
and shall date, countersign (or cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign)
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates of a like aggregate principal portion or Percentage
Interest and of the same Class.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like aggregate principal
portion or Percentage Interest and of the same Class upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent shall execute,
and shall date, countersign (or cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign)
and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or 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 transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled
by the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Authenticating Agent in
accordance with their standard procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate shall
be made unless the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any applicable
State securities laws are complied with, or such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer
is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from said Act or laws, (i) unless
such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor may, if such transfer is to be made within three years after the later
of (a) the date of the initial sale of Certificates or (b) the last date on
which the Depositor or any affiliate thereof was a Holder of the Certificates
proposed to be transferred, require a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6
Certificateholder to deliver a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in
form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, to the
effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being
made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, and (ii) the Master Servicer
shall require the transferee (other than an affiliate of the Depositor on the
Closing Date) to execute an investment letter in the form of Exhibit J hereto
certifying to the Depositor and the Master Servicer the facts surrounding such
transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor or
the Master Servicer. The Holder of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any Paying Agent
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Depositor nor
the Master Servicer is under an obligation to register the Class B-4, Class B-5
or Class B-6 Certificates under said Act or any other securities law.
(c) No transfer of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate shall
be made unless the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall have received (i) a
representation letter from the transferee in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to
the effect that either (a) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
other retirement arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or Code Section 4975,
or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, subject to any
federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is to a material extent
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a
"Plan") and is not a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such
Plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor or
the Master Servicer or (b) if such transferee is an insurance company, (A) the
source of funds used to purchase the Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6
Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined
in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"),
60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)), (B) there is no Plan with respect to which
the amount of such general account's reserves and liabilities for the
contract(s) held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by
the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE
95-60) or by the same employee organization exceeds 10% of the total of all
reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such amounts are determined
under Section I(a) of PTE 95-60) at the date of acquisition and (C) the purchase
and holding of such Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate is covered by
Sections I and III of PTE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any such Class B-4, Class
B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan,
or a trustee of any such Plan, (A) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate will not constitute or result
in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor or the Master
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer and (B) such other opinions of counsel, Officer's Certificates and
agreements as the Depositor or the Master Servicer may require in connection
with such transfer, which opinions of counsel, Officer's Certificates and
agreements shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Master Servicer. The
Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates shall bear a legend referring to
the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph.
(d) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Class
II-A-R Certificate may be transferred directly or indirectly to a "disqualified
organization" within the meaning of Code Section 860E(e)(5) or an agent of a
disqualified organization (including a broker, nominee, or middleman), to a Plan
or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or
Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or to an individual, corporation,
partnership or other person unless such transferee (i) is not a Non-U.S. Person
or (ii) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds the Class II-A-R Certificate in
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and
has furnished the transferor and the Master Servicer with an effective Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or (iii) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to
both the transferor and the Master Servicer an opinion of a nationally
recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Class II-A-R
Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Class II-A-R
Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes (any such
person who is not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above being referred to
herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any such purported transfer
shall be void and have no effect. The Paying Agent shall not execute, and shall
not countersign (or cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign) and deliver,
a new Class II-A-R Certificate in connection with any such transfer to a
disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or
middleman), an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and
neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Paying Agent shall accept a surrender
for transfer or registration of transfer, or register the transfer of, the Class
II-A-R Certificate, unless the transferor shall have provided to the Master
Servicer an affidavit, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto,
signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee is not such a
disqualified organization, an agent (including a broker, nominee, or middleman)
for any entity as to which the transferee has not received a substantially
similar affidavit, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder,
which affidavit shall contain the consent of the transferee to any such
amendments of this Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the
foregoing restrictions on transfer of the Class II-A-R Certificate to
disqualified organizations, ERISA Prohibited Holders or Non-permitted Foreign
Holders. Such affidavit shall also contain the statement of the transferee that
(i) the transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and
intends to do so in the future, (ii) the transferee understands that it may
incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest,
(iii) the transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual
interest as they become due, (iv) the transferee will not cause income from the
Class II-A-R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable tax treaty of such transferee
or any other Person, and (v) the transferee will not transfer the Class II-A-R
Certificate to any Person who does not provide an affidavit substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit H hereto.
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed in
connection with the initial issuance of the Class II-A-R Certificate, shall be
accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto,
signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the transfer, the
transferor has no actual knowledge that the transferee is a disqualified
organization, ERISA Prohibited Holder or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and has
no knowledge or reason to know that the statements made by the transferee with
respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the last sentence of the preceding paragraph
are not true. The Class II-A-R Certificate shall bear a legend referring to the
foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph.
Upon actual knowledge of a Master Servicing Officer or a Responsible
Officer of the Paying Agent that any legal or beneficial interest in any portion
of the Class II-A-R Certificate has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to
a disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or
middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such transferee
shall be deemed to hold the Class II-A-R Certificate in constructive trust for
the last transferor who was not a disqualified organization or agent thereof,
and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Class II-A-R
Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that
the Master Servicer may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made
to such transferee with respect to the Class II-A-R Certificate, and (ii) the
Master Servicer agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any
transferor of the Class II-A-R Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the
request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary to the
application of Code Section 860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including
but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions
with respect to the Class II-A-R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods
after such transfer. At the election of the Master Servicer, the cost to the
Master Servicer of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to
the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Master Servicer
shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, or the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the
Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Paying Agent shall execute and
countersign (or cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign) and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and principal portion or Percentage
Interest and of the same Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar 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 expense (including the fees and
expenses of the Paying Agent or the Authenticating Agent) in connection
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Estate,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to the due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01, and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the
Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
(a) If the Paying Agent is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Paying
Agent, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by
the Paying Agent in writing, a list, in such form as the Paying Agent may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each
Class as of the most recent Record Date.
(b) If five or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under
the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within
five Business Days following the receipt of such application, afford such
applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar.
(c) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate,
agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee that neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names,
addresses and Percentage Interests of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was delivered.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Certificate Registrar will maintain, at its expense, an office or
agency where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in
respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Certificate
Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate
Registrar, if any, as its offices and agencies for said purposes.
Section 5.07 Definitive Certificates.
If (A) the Clearing Agency advises the Paying Agent in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and
(B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, the Paying Agent
shall notify the Beneficial Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent by
the Clearing Agency of the Certificates held of record by its nominee,
accompanied by reregistration instructions and directions to execute and
authenticate new Certificates from the Depositor, the Paying Agent shall execute
and cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign Definitive Certificates for
delivery at its Corporate Trust Office. The Depositor shall arrange for, and
will bear all costs of, the printing and issuance of such Definitive
Certificates. Except with the consent of the Depositor, the Paying Agent shall
not execute or cause the Authenticating Agent to countersign Definitive
Certificates in exchange for Book-Entry Certificates except as set forth above.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Paying Agent shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions by the Clearing Agency and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Section 5.08 Notices to Clearing Agency.
Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
5.07, the Paying Agent shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01 Liability of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this
Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph (a) the Depositor will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement and (b) the Master
Servicer will keep in full effect its power and authority as a national banking
association under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and will
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or
into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or Master Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however,
that, (a) in the case of the Master Servicer, any such successor or resulting
Person shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and be qualified to
service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and (b) the Master Servicer
and such successor or surviving Person shall notify the Depositor and the
Trustee of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least two Business
Days prior to the effective date thereof (unless giving such prior notice would
be prohibited by applicable law or by a confidentiality agreement, in which case
notice shall be given by 12 noon eastern time one Business Day after such merger
or consolidation).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Others.
Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer nor any subcontractor nor
any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of any of them shall be
under any liability to the Trust Estate or the Certificateholders and all such
Persons shall be held harmless 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 any such
Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the Master Servicer, any subcontractor, and any director, officer, employee or
agent of any of them shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Estate
and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with the performance of their duties and obligations, the exercise of
their rights or any legal action (including but not limited to, costs and
expenses of litigation, and of investigation, attorney's fees, damages,
judgments and amounts paid in settlement) under this Agreement, the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans (except for amounts due by the Depositor in connection
with the breach of a representation or warranty covering the Mortgage Loans),
including, in the case of the Master Servicer, any indemnity amounts paid by the
Master Servicer to a Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (including without limitation,
expenses payable by the Master Servicer under Section 8.06) incurred by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer and any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of either may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Depositor
nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties
under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor or the Master Servicer may in
its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder if the
Certificateholders offer to the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case
may be, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 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 Estate, and the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Certificate Account, and such amounts shall, on the following Distribution Date
or Distribution Dates, be allocated in reduction of distributions on the Class A
Certificates and Class B Certificates in the same manner as Realized Losses are
allocated pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
Section 6.04 Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor master servicer
and receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of
any of the Certificates, (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law, or (c) pursuant to Section 6.06. Any
such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to
the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05 Compensation to the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to
the Master Servicing Fee, as compensation for services rendered by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer also will be entitled to any
late reporting fees paid by a Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, any
investment income on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account invested in
accordance with Section 3.01(c), any investment income on funds on deposit in
the Payment Account invested in accordance with Section 4.03(a) and any
Liquidation Profits to which a Servicer is not entitled under its Servicing
Agreement.
Section 6.06 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Master Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights,
benefits or privileges under this Agreement 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
without the prior written consent of the Trustee, and any agreement, instrument
or act purporting to effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation or
appointment shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section
6.06(b), the Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written
consent of the Trustee (i) to assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (a) the purchaser or transferee
accepting such assignment or delegation is qualified to service mortgage loans
for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, and executes and delivers to the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such purchaser or transferee of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by the Master Servicer hereunder from and after the date of such
agreement; and (b) each applicable Rating Agency's rating of any Certificates in
effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale or transfer is not reasonably
likely to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such assignment,
sale or transfer and the Certificates are not reasonably likely to be placed on
credit review status by any such Rating Agency; and (ii) to delegate to,
subcontract with, 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 under this Agreement and hereby agrees so to
delegate, subcontract, authorize or appoint to an affiliate of the Master
Servicer any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by
the Master Servicer to the extent that such duties, covenants or obligations are
to be performed in any state or states in which the Master Servicer is not
authorized to do business as a foreign corporation but in which the affiliate is
so authorized. In no case, however, shall any permitted assignment and
delegation relieve the Master Servicer of any liability to the Trustee or the
Depositor under this Agreement, incurred by it prior to the time that the
conditions contained in clause (i) above are met.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the
extent the Master Servicer engages any affiliate or third party vendor, in
connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such
engagement (to the extent it has not already notified the Depositor pursuant to
clause (a) above); provided however, that prior to engaging any affiliate or
third party vendor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall determine (i) if such affiliates or
third party vendors would be a Servicing Function Participant and (ii) if such
affiliate or third party vendor would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item
1101 of Regulation AB (an "Additional Master Servicer") and meets the criteria
in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If the Master Servicer
has determined that such affiliates or third party vendors are a Servicing
Function Participant, the Master Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function
Participant to prepare and deliver to the Master Servicer a separate assessment
and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.11 of this Agreement. In
addition, if the Master Servicer has determined that any such affiliate or third
party vendor would be an Additional Master Servicer and meets the criteria in
Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall
cause such Additional Master Servicer to prepare and deliver to the Master
Servicer a separate compliance statement as contemplated by Section 3.05 of this
Agreement. In addition, if the Master Servicer determines any such affiliate or
third party vendor would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of
Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall not engage such affiliate or third
party vendor unless it provides the Master Servicer and the Depositor the
information required by Section 1108(b) and 1108(c) of Regulation AB prior to
such engagement.
(c) In the event of any assignment of rights or delegation of duties of
the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall report such event on Form 8-K
within four Business Days after the effective date thereof.
Section 6.07 Indemnification of Trustee and Depositor by Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Depositor and any director, officer or agent thereof against any loss, liability
or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of, in connection
with or incurred by reason of (a) willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or by
reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to the Master Servicer's obligation to deliver any
information, report, certification, accountants' letter or other material
required to comply with Regulation AB or (b) any material breach by the Master
Servicer of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section
2.03(a). Any payment pursuant to this Section made by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee or the Depositor shall be from such entity's own funds, without
reimbursement therefor. The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 6.08 Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Policy.
The Master Servicer shall maintain, at all times and at its own expense, a
Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Policy, which policy shall have such terms
and coverage amounts as are comparable to those of errors and omissions policies
maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans generally.
The Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Policy shall insure the Master
Servicer, its successors and assigns, against any losses resulting from
negligence, errors or omissions on the part of officers, employees or other
persons acting on behalf of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties
as Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall maintain in effect the Master Servicer Errors
and Omissions Policy at all times and the Master Servicer Errors and Omissions
Policy may not be canceled, permitted to lapse or otherwise terminated without
the acquisition of comparable coverage by the Master Servicer.
ARTICLE VII

Section 7.01 Events of Default.
In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Master

by the holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than
25% of the aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates;
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer to observe or
perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements under
Sections 3.05, 3.11 or 3.12 hereof, subject to any cure period set forth
in such sections;
(iii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or

the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the
aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates;
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee,
conservator, receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60
days;
(v) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a

any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating
to the Master Servicer, or of or relating to all or substantially all of
its property;
(vi) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend

(vii) the Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of
all or substantially all of its assets; or consolidate with or merge into

it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a
successor servicer, as specified in Section 6.02 hereof; or
(viii) the Master Servicer and any Subservicer appointed by it
becomes ineligible to service for both Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac, which
ineligibility continues unremedied for a period of 90 days;
then, and in each and every such case, subject to applicable law, so long as an
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders)
may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans, but without prejudice to any
rights which the Master Servicer may have to the aggregate Master Servicing Fees
due prior to the date of transfer of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
hereunder, reimbursement of expenses to the extent permitted by this Agreement,
Periodic Advances and other advances of its own funds. Upon receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under this Section, subject to the provisions of Section 7.05; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the
Trustee all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to
assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the Trustee all amounts which then have been or should have been
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or which are
thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Section 7.02 Other Remedies of Trustee.
During 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 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
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
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 7.03 Directions by Certificateholders and
Duties of Trustee During Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Interest
represented by all Certificates may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the
terminating of the Master Servicer from its rights and duties as servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby and, provided further, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the nonassenting Certificateholders.
Section 7.04 Action upon Certain Failures of the
Master Servicer and upon Event of Default.
In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of the
Master Servicer specified in Section 7.01(i), (ii) or (iii) which would become
an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same after
notice, the Trustee may, but need not if the Trustee deems it not in the
Certificateholders' best interest, give notice thereof to the Master Servicer;
provided however that, without limiting any remedy as a result of such failure,
the Trustee shall be required to give notice thereof to the Master Servicer in
the case of the failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform any of its
covenants under Sections 3.05, 3.11, 3.12, 6.02 or 6.06(b) of this Agreement.
For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer as specified in Section 7.01(i),
(ii) and (iii) or any Event of Default unless notified thereof in writing by the
Master Servicer or by a Certificateholder.
Section 7.05 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
When the Master Servicer receives notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall
be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as
master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein and shall have the rights and powers and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and in its capacity as such
successor shall have the same limitation of liability herein granted to the
Master Servicer. In the event that the Trustee is succeeding to the Master
Servicer as the Master Servicer, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive monthly such portion of the Master Servicing Fee, together
with such other master servicing compensation as is agreed to at such time by
the Trustee and the Master Servicer, but in no event more than 25% thereof until
the date of final cessation of the Master Servicer's master servicing activities
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or to obtain a qualifying bid as
described below, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth herein, as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, that until such a successor master servicer is appointed and
has assumed the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Trustee shall continue as the successor to the Master Servicer as
provided above. Upon cessation of the Master Servicer's master servicing
activities hereunder, the Trustee or any other successor master servicer shall
be entitled to compensation not exceed the compensation specified in Section
6.05 hereof, which amount shall include compensation for acting as paying agent.
In the event the Trustee is required to solicit bids as provided above, the
Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home
finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in the preceding sentence for the purchase of the
master servicing functions. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor master servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Master
Servicing Fee as compensation together with the other master servicing
compensation in the form of late reporting fees or otherwise as provided in
Section 6.05, which amount shall include compensation for acting as paying
agent. Within 30 days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall
negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the master servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the
highest qualifying bid. The Trustee shall deduct all costs and expenses of any
public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the master
servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder from any sum received by the
Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall
be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer
and assignment to the Master Servicer's successor. The Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights
hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor master
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to
enable it to assume the Master Servicer's function hereunder and shall promptly
also transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable,
all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the
Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or which are thereafter received by
the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor
any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder
by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 7.01 above or this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall retain all of
its rights and responsibilities hereunder, and no successor (including the
Trustee) shall succeed thereto, if the assumption thereof by such successor
would cause the rating assigned to any Certificates to be revoked, downgraded or
placed on credit review status (other than for possible upgrading) by either
Rating Agency and the retention thereof by the Master Servicer would avert such
revocation, downgrading or review.
All costs associated with the appointment of a successor master servicer,
to the extent not deducted from any sum received by the Trustee from the
successor master servicer, shall be paid to the Person that incurred them by the
predecessor master servicer. Without limiting the predecessor master servicer's
obligation, if the predecessor master servicer fails to pay such costs, such
costs shall be reimbursed by the Trust.
The predecessor Master Servicer and successor Master Servicer shall
notify the Depositor and Trustee of any such appointment at least two Business
Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the
Trustee with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective
date of such appointment and the successor Master Servicer shall report such
event on Form 8-K within four business days of the occurrence of such event.
Section 7.06 Notification to Certificateholders.
Upon any termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor
master servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days
after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written
notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the Certificate Register, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived within said 45 day period.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured),
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05,
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent investor
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's
own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement,
instrument, report, notice or other document furnished by the Master Servicer or
the Servicers pursuant to Articles III, IV and IX.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee, and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of holders of Certificates which evidence in
the aggregate not less than 25% of the Voting Interest represented by all
Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its Responsible Officers, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee or such Responsible Officer, as the case may be,
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the manner of
obtaining consents and evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice
or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Agreement;
(iv) Subject to Section 7.04, the Trustee shall not be accountable,
shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or
omissions hereunder of the Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee
may be required to act as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer; and
(v) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Required to Make Investigation.
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other paper
or document (provided the same appears regular on its face), unless requested in
writing to do so by holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less
than 51% of the Voting Interest represented by all Certificates; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation
shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee shall be repaid
by the Master Servicer upon demand.
Section 8.04 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility as to
the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan
or related document. Subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans deposited into the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or, in its
capacity as trustee, for investment of any such amounts.
Section 8.05 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee, and any agent thereof, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent and may transact banking
and/or trust business with the Depositor, the Master Servicer or their
Affiliates.
Section 8.06 The Master Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses;
Limitation on Liability.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time
to time, from its own funds, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee.
In addition, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement to the extent
permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3), except for (i) any
such expense, disbursement or advance arising from the Trustee's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and (ii) any routine ongoing
expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee
hereunder or for any other expenses.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee
shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Estate and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees)
(a) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (i) this
Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, or (iii) the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties under this Agreement, unless the loss, liability or expense was
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement and (b)
resulting from any tax or information return which was prepared by, or should
have been prepared by, the applicable Servicer or Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Eligibility Requirements.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times (i) be a corporation or
association having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the
Depositor, organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, or shall
be a member of a bank holding system, the aggregate combined capital and surplus
of which is at least $50,000,000, provided that its separate capital and surplus
shall at all times be at least the amount specified in Section 310(a)(2) of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and (iii) have a credit rating or be otherwise
acceptable to the Rating Agencies such that neither of the Rating Agencies would
reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or have
provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such
reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Resignation and Removal.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by giving written notice of resignation to the Master Servicer, such
resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint
a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning entity and one copy to its
successor. If no successor trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.07 and shall fail to resign after written request
for its resignation by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or an order for relief shall have been entered in
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to such entity, or a
receiver of such entity or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of the property or
affairs of the Trustee for the purpose of rehabilitation, conversion or
liquidation, or the Master Servicer shall deem it necessary in order to change
the situs of the Trust Estate for state tax reasons, then the Master Servicer
shall remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
In addition, if (a) the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations to
deliver any assessment of servicing compliance or registered public accounting
firm attestation reports required pursuant to Section 3.11 or (b) any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations
to deliver any assessment of servicing compliance or registered public
accounting firm attestation reports, the Master Servicer, may, after
consultation with the Depositor, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51%

Certificate registered in the name of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
affiliate thereof will not be taken into account in determining whether the
requisite Voting Interests has been obtained) may at any time remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate,
signed by such holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete
set of which shall be delivered to the entity or entities so removed and one
complete set of which shall be delivered to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor as provided in Section 8.09.
Section 8.09 Successor.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such
successor, without any further act, deed or reconveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall deliver to its successor all documents and statements
held by it hereunder, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor
entity shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
All costs associated with the appointment of a successor trustee shall be
paid to the Person that incurred them by the predecessor trustee. Without
limiting the predecessor trustee's obligation, if the predecessor trustee fails
to pay such costs, such costs shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided
however, that if the predecessor trustee has been terminated pursuant to the
third paragraph of Section 8.08, all reasonable expenses incurred in complying
with this Section 8.09 shall be reimbursed by the Trust to the Person that
incurred them.
No successor shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.07.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor as provided in this Section,
the successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register.
Section 8.10 Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any Person
resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of such
entity, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that
(i) such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (ii) the
Trustee shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Depositor and the Master
Servicer to the effect that such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer will
not subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to federal,
state or local tax or cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the sole
expense of the Trustee and (iii) the Trustee and such successor or surviving
Person shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer of any such merger,
conversion or consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective
date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Master Servicer with all
information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such merger,
conversion or consolidation and the Master Servicer shall report such event on
Form 8-K within four business days of the occurrence of such event.
Section 8.11 Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the
Trustee or the Trustee's countersignature, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent and
a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by the
Authenticating Agent. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer and must be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having
a principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer, 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.
Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of the Authenticating Agent, shall 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.
The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Depositor and
the Master Servicer. Except with respect to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, for so long as
Xxxxx Fargo Bank is acting as the Master Servicer, the Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Upon
receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any
time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.11, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, and
shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor, and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless
eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.11.
The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any reasonable
compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be payable by the Master
Servicer.
Section 8.12 Separate Trustees and Co-Trustees.
The Trustee shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more
persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee,
or as separate trustees, 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 is 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 Mortgaged Property is located
or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction
or condition in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or in any
state in which any portion of the Trust Estate is located. The Master Servicer
shall advise the Trustee when, in its good faith opinion, a separate trustee or
co-trustee is necessary or advisable as aforesaid. The separate trustees or
co-trustees so appointed shall be trustees for the benefit of all of 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 Depositor and the Master Servicer shall join in any such
appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of
such appointment.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) 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 or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee;
(iii) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate
trustee or co-trustee hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by it, if such resignation
or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
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. 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 furnished to the Trustee.
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. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment
of a new or successor trustee.
No separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the
terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 hereunder and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under
Section 8.09 hereof.
The Trustee agrees to instruct its co-trustees, if any, to the extent
necessary to fulfill such entity's obligations hereunder.
The fees of any co-trustee whose appointment is necessary or advisable for
(i) conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state
in which any Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Trust Estate is located,
will be paid by the Master Servicer, without reimbursement from the Trust and
(ii) any reason other than contemplated by clause (i), will be paid by the
Trustee, without reimbursement from the Trust. Expenses will be reimbursable to
the co-trustees to the extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified
in Section 8.06 hereof.
Section 8.13 Tax Matters; Compliance with REMIC Provisions.
(a) Each of the Trustee and the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that
it shall perform its duties hereunder in a manner consistent with the REMIC
Provisions and shall not knowingly take any action or fail to take any other
action that would (i) affect the determination of the Trust Estate's status as
two separate REMICs; or (ii) cause the imposition of any federal, state or local
income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on any of the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer,
or, in the case of any action required by law to be performed directly by the
Trustee, the Trustee, shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared, timely cause to
be signed by the Trustee and file or cause to be filed annual federal and
applicable state and local income tax returns for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC using a calendar year as the taxable year and the
accrual method of accounting; (ii) in the first such federal tax return, make,
or cause to be made, elections satisfying the requirements of the REMIC
Provisions, on behalf of the Trust Estate, to treat each of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC; (iii) prepare, execute and forward, or
cause to be prepared, executed and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all
information reports or tax returns required with respect to the Trust Estate, as
and when required to be provided to the Certificateholders, and to the Internal
Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or
local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to
"original issue discount" and "market discount" as defined in the Code based
upon the issue prices, prepayment assumption and cash flows provided by the
Depositor to the Master Servicer and calculated on a monthly basis by using the
issue prices of the Certificates; (iv) make available information necessary for
the application of any tax imposed on transferors of residual interests to
"disqualified organizations" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions); (v) file Form
8811 and apply for an Employee Identification Number with a Form SS-4 or any
other permissible method and respond to inquiries by Certificateholders or their
nominees concerning information returns, reports or tax returns; (vi) maintain
(or cause to be maintained by the Servicers) such records relating to the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, including but not limited to the
income, expenses, individual Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans),
other assets and liabilities of each REMIC, and the fair market value and
adjusted basis of the property of each REMIC determined at such intervals as may
be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns or
information reports; (vii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the creation of
any "interests" in either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC within
the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by
the Class I-A-1 and Class I-A-2 Certificates and the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2,
Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4, Class II-A-5 and Class II-A-6 Certificates and the
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates
and the Class II-A-R Interest, and the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC
represented by the Class I-L Interest, Class I-LS Interest, Class II-L Interest
and Class II-LS Interest, and the Class II-A-LR Interest; (viii) exercise
reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any "prohibited transactions"
within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the Master Servicer shall
have provided an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee that such occurrence would
not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject any of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Estate to tax or (c) cause the Trust
Estate to fail to qualify as two separate REMICs; (ix) exercise reasonable care
not to allow either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to receive
income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the
REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC; and (x) pay (on behalf of the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC) the amount of any federal income tax, including,
without limitation, prohibited transaction taxes, taxes on net income from
foreclosure property, and taxes on certain contributions to a REMIC after the
Startup Day, imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC, as the
case may be, when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the
Master Servicer from withholding or depositing payment of such tax, if permitted
by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02 for any taxes paid by it
pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, except to the extent that such
taxes are imposed as a result of the bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross
negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder.
In order to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
to perform its duties as set forth above, the Depositor shall provide, or cause
to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten days after the Closing Date
all information or data that the Master Servicer determines to be relevant for
tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of each Class of Certificates and the Mortgage Loans in the
aggregate. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
may from time to time request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform
its duties as set forth above. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee arising from
any errors or miscalculations by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to
this Section that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, on a timely basis. The Master Servicer hereby
indemnifies the Depositor and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Depositor or the Trustee arising from the Master
Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in preparing any
of the federal, state and local tax returns of either REMIC as described above.
In the event that the Trustee prepares any of the federal, state and local tax
returns of either REMIC as described above, the Trustee hereby indemnifies the
Depositor and the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims
or expenses of the Depositor or the Master Servicer arising from the Trustee's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in connection with such
preparation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall pay from its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and
expenses incurred by the Trust Estate (including, without limitation, any and
all federal, state or local taxes, including taxes imposed on "prohibited
transactions" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) if and to the extent
that such costs, liabilities and expenses arise from a failure of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, to perform its obligations under this
Section 8.13.
The Holder of the Class II-A-R Certificate is hereby designated as the
"tax matters person" for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). The "tax matters
person" shall have the same duties with respect to the applicable REMIC as those
of a "tax matters partner" under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the
Code. By its acceptance of the Class II-A-R Certificate, such Holder irrevocably
appoints the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer hereby agrees to act) as
agent to perform all of the duties of the "tax matters person."
Section 8.14 Monthly Advances.
In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank in its capacity as Servicer fails to
make a Periodic Advance required to be made pursuant to the Xxxxx Fargo Bank
Servicing Agreement on or before the Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make a
Periodic Advance as required by Section 3.03 hereof; provided, however, the
Trustee shall not be required to make such Periodic Advances if prohibited by
law or if it determines that such Periodic Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. With respect to those Periodic Advances which should have been made by
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, the Trustee shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i),
(ii) or (v) hereof, to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account for Periodic
Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances made by it.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination upon Purchase by the
Depositor or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities
of the parties to this Agreement created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Paying Agent to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to
Certificateholders and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth and the tax reporting obligations under
Sections 4.05 and 8.13 hereof) shall terminate upon the last action required to
be taken by the Paying Agent on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this
Article IX following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the Depositor of all
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Estate at a price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the
unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage
Loan) as of the Final Distribution Date, (y) the fair market value of the
Mortgaged Property related to any REO Mortgage Loan, plus with respect to
clauses (x) and (y) any accrued and unpaid interest through the last day of the
month preceding the month of such purchase at the applicable Mortgage Interest
Rate and (z) any Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.03
and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate (including for
this purpose the discharge of any Mortgagor under a defaulted Mortgage Loan on
which a Servicer is not obligated to foreclose due to environmental impairment)
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof.
The right of the Depositor to purchase all the assets of the Trust Estate
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is subject to Section 9.02 and
conditioned upon (A) the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Final Distribution Date being less than the amount set forth in
Section 11.14 and (B) the sum of clause (i)(x) and (y) of the preceding
paragraph being less than or equal to the aggregate fair market value of the
Mortgage Loans (other than any REO Mortgage Loans) and the Mortgaged Properties
related to the REO Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that this clause (B) shall
not apply to any purchase by the Depositor if, at the time of the purchase, the
Depositor is no longer subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Fair market value for purposes of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph
will be determined by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the
third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any termination
is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this
Section 9.01. In the case of any purchase by the Depositor pursuant to said
clause (i) of the preceding paragraph, the Depositor shall give the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and Master Servicer notice of its intent to purchase the assets of
the Trust by the fifth day of the month of the Final Distribution Date or such
later date as shall be acceptable to the Trustee and Master Servicer. The
Depositor or Master Servicer shall in such case provide to the Trustee the
confirmation of deposit of the purchase price required by Section 3.04 and the
Trustee or the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price
and upon receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release, release to
the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan Files and Retained Mortgage Loan Files, if
applicable, pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Paying Agent for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Paying Agent by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the
15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not
later than the twentieth day of the month of such final distribution specifying
(A) the Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates
will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (B) the amount of any such
final payment and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made (except in the case of
any Class A Certificate surrendered on a prior Distribution Date) pursuant to
Section 4.01 only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent therein specified. If the Depositor
is exercising its right to purchase, the Depositor shall deposit in the
Certificate Account on or before the Final Distribution Date in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the
Trust Estate computed as above provided. Failure to give notice of termination
as described herein shall not entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond
the interest payable on the Final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Paying Agent
shall distribute to Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an amount equal to (i) as to
the Classes of Class A Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together
with any related Class A Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in
an amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount, (ii) as to the
Classes of Class B Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together with
any related Class B Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an
amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount and (iii) as to the Class
II-A-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit in the
Upper-Tier Certificate Account and the Certificate Account, respectively (other
than amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above and payment to the Master Servicer of any amounts it is
entitled as reimbursement or otherwise hereunder. Such amount shall be
distributed in respect of interest and principal in respect of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in the manner specified in Section
4.01(a)(iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price paid pursuant to
clause (i) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01, after reimbursement to
the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any Periodic Advances, is
insufficient to pay in full the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
this paragraph, then any shortfall in the amount available for distribution to
Certificateholders shall be allocated in reduction of the amounts otherwise
distributable on the Final Distribution Date in the same manner as Realized
Losses are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(a) and (e) hereof. Such
distribution on the Final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the distribution
otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect of each Class
of Certificates.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for final payment and cancellation within three months following
the Final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall on such date cause all
funds, if any, in the Payment Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent 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
three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or
may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.
Section 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
In the event of a termination of the Trust Estate upon the exercise by the
Depositor of its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Estate
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that any other manner of termination (i) will constitute a
"qualified liquidation" of the Trust Estate within the meaning of Code Section
860F(a)(4)(A) and (ii) will not subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC to federal tax or cause the Trust Estate to fail to qualify as
two separate REMICs at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Paying Agent under Section 9.01 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as of the
date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the first such
notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also
specify such date in a statement attached to the final tax returns of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the Depositor for cash
at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and the Paying Agent shall
distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner
specified in Section 9.01.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 Amendment.
(a) This Agreement or the Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to
correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent
with any other provisions herein or therein or in the related Prospectus, (iii)
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust Estate as two separate
REMICs at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or to avoid or
minimize the risk of the imposition of any federal tax on the Trust Estate, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a
claim against the Trust Estate, provided that (a) the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action is necessary or desirable to
maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any such tax and (b) such action shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, (iv) to conform the obligations of the parties under this
Agreement, or to add obligations of the parties to this Agreement, if necessary,
to comply with the requirements of Regulation AB, (v) to change the timing
and/or nature of deposits into the Upper-Tier Certificate Account and the
Certificate Account provided that such change shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Certificateholder, (vi) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02 or any other provisions hereof restricting transfer of the
Certificates, provided that the Depositor for purposes of Section 5.02 has
determined in its sole discretion that any such modifications to this Agreement
will neither adversely affect the rating on the Certificates nor give rise to a
risk that either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders will be subject to a tax caused by a transfer to a
non-permitted transferee, (vii) to make certain provisions with respect to the
denominations of, and the manner of payments on, certain Classes of Certificates
initially retained by the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor and (viii)
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement which shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any amendment pursuant to clause (v) or (viii) shall not be deemed to
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of Certificateholders and
no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if the person requesting
the amendment instead obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the
amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective
ratings then assigned to the Certificates.
This Agreement or the Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of
the aggregate Voting Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby,
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such
Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner
the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which
are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the
Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the
interest of the Holders of Certificates of any Class in a manner other than as
described in clause (i) hereof without the consent of Holders of Certificates of
such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Voting Interests aggregating not less
than 66-2/3% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any
Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not
subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to tax or cause
either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment requiring the consent of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01(a) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if any of
the Mortgage Loans are Type 2 Mortgage Loans, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the Master Servicer may, from time to time, amend Schedule I hereto
without the consent of any Certificateholder or the Trustee; provided, however,
(i) that such amendment does not conflict with any provisions of the related
Servicing Agreement, (ii) that the related Servicing Agreement provides for the
remittance of each type of Unscheduled Principal Receipts received by such
Servicer during the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period (as so
amended) related to each Distribution Date to the Master Servicer no later than
the 24th day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (iii) that
such amendment is for the purpose of changing the Applicable Unscheduled
Principal Receipt Period for Type 2 Mortgage Loans to a Mid-Month Receipt Period
with respect to all Unscheduled Principal Receipts.
Section 10.02 Recordation of Agreement.
This Agreement (or an abstract hereof, if acceptable to the applicable
recording office) is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices
for real property records in all the towns or other comparable jurisdictions in
which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other
appropriate public office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, but only upon
direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.

herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
SERIES 2006-AR4
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event funds are
advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, such advances are reimbursable to such Servicer, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related
recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been
distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master
Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to a Servicer, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, of advances made by such
Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized Denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and Denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized Denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar, may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Estate created thereby shall terminate upon the last
action required to be taken by the Paying Agent on the Final Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the payment or other
liquidation (or advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan subject
thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Depositor
from the Trust Estate of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired
in respect of such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the Trust Estate will
in no event continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date of the
Agreement. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Depositor to
purchase all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of

(as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Pooling and Servicing

WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee
for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other
instruments delivered by the Depositor under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations
hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless
otherwise required by the context herein.
ARTICLE II
Custody of Mortgage Documents
Section 2.1. Custodian to Act as Agent; Acceptance of Custodial
Files. Subject to Section 2.3 hereof, the Custodian, as the duly appointed agent
of the Trustee for these purposes, declares that it holds and will hold the
documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and any other documents constituting part of the Owner Mortgage Loan
File or Retained Mortgage Loan File received on or subsequent to the date hereof
(the "Custodial Files") as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor shall give
written notice to the Custodian within 10 business days of the occurrence of a
Document Transfer Event.
Section 2.2. Recordation of Assignments. Unless an assignment of a
Mortgage is not required to be recorded in accordance with Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Custodial File includes one or more
assignments to the Trustee of Mortgage Notes that have not been recorded, each
such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor for the
purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property
records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause
to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each
such assignment and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return
each such assignment to the Custodian.
Section 2.3. Review of Custodial Files. The Custodian agrees, for
the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Custodial File and
to provide the initial and final certifications in the forms of Exhibits N and O
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the provisions
thereof. If in performing the review required by this Section 2.3 the Custodian
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Custodial File to be
missing or defective, the Custodian shall follow the procedures specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Depositor or the Master Servicer as set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall follow the procedures
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.5. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer shall
immediately deliver to the Custodian two copies of a Request for Release or such
request in an electronic format acceptable to the Custodian and shall request
delivery to it of the Custodial File. The Custodian agrees, within five business
days of receipt of such Request for Release, to release the related Custodial
File to the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer.
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer shall deliver
to the Custodian two copies of a Request for Release of a Servicing Officer
requesting that possession of the Custodial File be released to the Servicer or
Master Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release. Upon receipt
of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Custodial File to the Master
Servicer or applicable Servicer. The Master Servicer or applicable Servicer
shall cause each Custodial File therein so released to be returned to the
Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer
no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Certificate Account to the extent required by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or (ii) the Custodial File or such document has been delivered 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. In
the event of the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or
applicable Servicer shall deliver two copies of a Request for Release with
respect thereto to the Custodian upon deposit of the related Liquidation
Proceeds in the Certificate Account to the extent required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
The Custodian shall maintain records (i) identifying all requests
made by Servicers or the Master Servicer (other than requests relating to
Custodial Files already released by the Custodian) for the release by the
Custodian of Custodial Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans and (ii) all
Custodial Files released by the Custodian.
Section 2.6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement or substitution of liability agreement is entered into with respect to
any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or
substitution agreement, which copy shall be added to the related Custodial File
and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Custodial File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
ARTICLE III
Concerning the Custodian
Section 3.1. Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With
respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each
Custodial File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is
exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee, holds such documents for the
benefit of Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. All provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
setting forth duties of the Custodian in more detail are hereby incorporated by
reference into this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of
Section 2.5 of this Agreement and the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, no Mortgage Note or other document constituting a part of a Custodial
File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor or the Master Servicer
or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.
Section 3.2. Indemnification. The Depositor hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against all claims,
liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any
other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which the Custodian
may incur or with which the Custodian may be threatened by reasons of its acting
as custodian under this Agreement, including indemnification of the Custodian
against any and all expenses, including attorney's fees if counsel for the
Custodian has been approved by the Depositor, and the cost of defending any
action, suit or proceedings or resisting any claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that in the event any such
claim, liability, loss, action, suit or proceeding or other expense, fees, or
charge shall have been caused by reason of any negligent act, negligent failure
to act, or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian, or which shall
constitute a willful breach of its duties hereunder, the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement shall not apply.
Section 3.3. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.
Section 3.4. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian's Fees and Expenses.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to
time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse
the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith.
Section 3.5. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The
Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as
such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take
custody of the Custodial Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian or promptly appoint a successor
Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor
Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Custodial Files
and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted
resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
The Trustee, upon 60 days written notice, may remove the Custodian.
In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor
Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and shall be able to satisfy the other
requirements contained in Section 3.7.
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a
successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The
Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the
appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall have been
appointed and accepted appointment by the Trustee without the prior approval of
the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
Section 3.6. Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into
which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The Custodian and such successor or surviving Person shall notify
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any such merger,
conversion or consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective
date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Master Servicer with all
information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations
not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation
(unless giving prior notice would be prohibited by applicable law or by a
confidentiality agreement, in which case notice shall be given by 12 noon
eastern time one Business Day after such merger or consolidation).
Section 3.7. Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby
represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus
of at least $10,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in
which it will hold any Custodial File.

XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Master Servicer and the Custodian, the form and substance of any Form 8-K
Disclosure Information applicable to the Custodian, as indicated in the table in
Exhibit U to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Custodian acknowledges

applicable deadlines in the performance of its duties under this Section 4.1(d).
(e) The Custodian shall indemnify the Master Servicer, each
affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Trust, each broker dealer acting as
underwriter or initial purchaser of the Certificates, each Person who controls
any of such parties and the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present
and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing
and of the Depositor (each such entity, an "Indemnified Party"), and shall hold
each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based
upon:
(i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged
to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material provided in written or electronic form under this
Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 hereof by or on behalf of the Custodian, or
provided under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 by or on behalf of any Subcontractor
(collectively, the "Custodian Information"), or (B) the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact
required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification,
that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference
to the Custodian Information and not to any other information communicated
in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to
whether the Custodian Information or any portion thereof is presented
together with or separately from such other information; or
(ii) any failure by the Custodian or any Subcontractor engaged by
the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification,
accountants' letter or other material when and as required under Sections
4.1 or 4.2, including any failure by the Custodian to identify pursuant to
Section 4.2 any Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function"
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.
In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii)
of this Section, the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and
the Depositor, as applicable, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian or any
Subcontractor. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to hold
harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Custodian agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Indemnified Party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified
Party on the one hand and the Custodian on the other in connection with a breach
of the Custodian's obligations under this Section 4.1 or the Custodian's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
4.2 Engagement of Affiliates or Third-Parties. The Custodian shall
not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor to fulfill any
of the obligations of the Custodian as servicer under this Agreement unless the
Custodian complies with the provisions of this Section.
It shall not be necessary for the Custodian to seek the consent of
the Master Servicer or the Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor.
The Custodian shall promptly upon request provide to the Master Servicer (or any
designee of Master Servicer) a written description (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function
of each Subcontractor utilized by the Custodian, specifying (i) the identity of
each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to
be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Custodian shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Custodian, for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply
with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
such Subcontractor were the Custodian. The Custodian shall be responsible for
obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Master Servicer any
assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such
Subcontractor under Section 4.1, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
4.3 Errors and Omissions Policy. The Custodian shall maintain, at
all times and at its own expense, an insurance policy covering losses caused by
errors or omissions of the Custodian and its personnel (such policy, an "Errors
and Omissions Policy"), which policy shall have such terms and coverage amounts
as are comparable to those of errors and omissions policies maintained by
custodians of mortgage loans generally.
The Errors and Omissions Policy shall insure the Custodian, its
successors and assigns, against any losses resulting from negligence, errors or
omissions on the part of officers, employees or other persons acting on behalf
of the Custodian in the performance of its duties as Custodian pursuant to this
Agreement.
The Custodian shall maintain in effect the Errors and Omissions
Policy at all times and the Errors and Omissions Policy may not be canceled,
permitted to lapse or otherwise terminated without the acquisition of comparable
coverage by the Custodian.
4.4 Compliance with Article IV. If (a) the Custodian fails to comply
with its obligations to deliver any assessment of servicing compliance or
registered public accounting firm attestation reports required pursuant to this
Article IV or (b) any Subcontractor engaged by the Custodian fails to comply
with its obligations to deliver any assessment of servicing compliance or
registered public accounting firm attestation reports, the Master Servicer, may,
after consultation with the Depositor, remove the Custodian and appoint a
successor custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Custodian so removed and one copy to the
successor custodian.

Certificate (the "Residual Certificate") for the account of, or as agent

which it has not received an affidavit substantially in the form of this
affidavit. For these purposes, a "disqualified organization" means the United
States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any

foregoing (other than an instrumentality if all of its activities are subject to
tax and a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such

Section 1381(a)(2)(C), or any organization (other than a farmers' cooperative

imposed by Code Section 511. For these purposes, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder"

6. That the Purchaser will not transfer the Residual Certificate to

requirements set forth in paragraph 4 hereof.
7. That the Purchaser is aware that the Residual Certificate may be
a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the

(or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts
in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated as

and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Class
[B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates; the Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal
and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision; and the Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment

meaning of Rule 144A of the Act.]
(d) The Purchaser confirms that (a) it has received and reviewed a
copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated March 20, 2006, relating to the

("Similar Law") which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), an agent acting on
behalf of a Plan, or a person utilizing the assets of a Plan or (ii) if the
Purchaser is an insurance company, (A) the source of funds used to purchase the
Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as

Interim Revision thereto as adopted by the OCC, FRB, FDIC, OTS and NCUA (with
modifications as applicable), as appropriate, other applicable investment
authority, rules, supervisory policies and guidelines of these agencies and, to

purchase of the Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates is in compliance therewith.
Section 3. Transfer of Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates.
(a) The Purchaser understands that the Class [B-4][B-5][B-6]
Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") or any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the
Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates are registered under the Act and applicable
state law or unless an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser
further understands that neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer is under
any obligation to register the Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates or make an
exemption available. In the event that such a transfer is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the Act or applicable state securities laws, (i) the
Master Servicer shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws,
that the Certificateholder's prospective transferee certify to the Depositor and
the Master Servicer as to the factual basis for the registration or
qualification exemption relied upon, and (ii) unless the transferee is a
"Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Act, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor may, if such transfer is made within three
years from the later of (a) the Closing Date or (b) the last date on which the
Depositor or any affiliate thereof was a holder of the Certificates proposed to
be transferred, require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption from the Act and state securities laws, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Master Servicer or the Depositor. Any
such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Paying Agent and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(b) No transfer of a Class [B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificate shall be made
unless the transferee provides the Depositor and the Master Servicer with a
Transferee's Letter, substantially in the form of this Agreement.
(c) The Purchaser acknowledges that its Class [B-4][B-5][B-6]
Certificates bear a legend setting forth the applicable restrictions on
transfer.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be
validly executed by its duly authorized representative as of the day and the
year first above written.

identified in a report under Section 2.01 (a) (ii), (a) (iii), (a) (iv), (a) (v)
or (a) (vi); provided, that (1) the related Servicer shall only be required to
provide information that is readily accessible to its servicing personnel and
(2) the related Servicer shall respond within five Business Days orally or in
writing by facsimile transmission.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall cause the
Servicer (to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such
authority in the related Servicing Agreement) to provide to the Company (for
prompt transmission to the Purchaser) such information as the Purchaser may
reasonably request provided, however, that such information is consistent with
normal reporting practices, concerning each Mortgage Loan that is at least
ninety days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan which has become real estate
owned, through the final liquidation thereof; provided, that the related
Servicer shall only be required to provide information that is readily
accessible to its servicing personnel; provided, however, that the Purchaser
will reimburse the Company and the related Servicer for any out of pocket
expenses.
Section 2.02. Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
(a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to direct the Company to direct
(to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in
the related Servicing Agreement) the related Servicer that in the event that the
Company does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 48 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the Delinquency Report provided by the Company under
Section 2.01 (a) (subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the
related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of
each Mortgage Loan reported under Section 2.01 (a)(ii) or 2.01 (a)(iii) in
accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice to the
Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i)
without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or
if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan
(including by means of a short payoff approved by the related Servicer) or (ii)
if the related Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement with
the borrower.
(b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan reported in a Delinquency
Report under Section 2.01(a)(ii) or 2.01 (a)(iii), the Purchaser may elect to
instruct the Company to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer
is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the related
Servicer to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such time as the
Purchaser determines that the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement
of Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received
within 48 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission
of the Delinquency Report provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a). Such 48
hour period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business
Days after the receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional
information related to such foreclosure; provided, however, that the Purchaser
will have at least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional
information. Any such additional information shall be provided only to the
extent it is obtainable by the related Servicer from existing reports,
certificates or statements or is otherwise readily accessible to its servicing
personnel. The Purchaser agrees that it has no right to deal with the mortgagor
during such period. However, if such servicing activities include acceptance of
a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short payoff, the Purchaser will be notified
and given two Business Days to respond.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has
made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current
Appraisal as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 15 Business Days
thereafter, and shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal.
(d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for
deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal
to the sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in
subsection (c) above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained,
the Company's estimate thereof, in which case the required deposit under this
subsection shall be adjusted upon obtaining such Current Appraisal), and (ii)
three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest
Rate. If any Election to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of
three months (such excess period being referred to herein as the "Excess
Period"), within two Business Days the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in
advance to the Company for deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount of each
additional month's interest, as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on
the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate for the Excess
Period. The terms of this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any
Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit any of the above
amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election
to Delay Foreclosure or within two Business Days of the commencement of the
Excess Period subject to Section 3.01.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has
made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the
Collateral Fund from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the related
Servicer for all related Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter
made by such Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the related Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such
Liquidation Expenses is determined by the Company based on estimated costs, and
the actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher, the Company may
withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the event that the
Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor and the foreclosure action is
discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral Fund shall be
redeposited if and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid
by the mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related
mortgage note. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn
from the Collateral Fund to cover Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses
shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the Purchaser. If
and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after
adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this
subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser.
(f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has
made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the related Servicer shall continue to
service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other
than the delay in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when
the Purchaser shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate
to do so, the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure.
In any event, if the Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the mortgagor by
the time the loan becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no
longer be effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser
shall purchase the Mortgage Loan from the related Trust Estate at a purchase
price equal to the sum of (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan
at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month of
repurchase, (y) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of
such purchase date and (z) any additional amount needed to reimburse any
unreimbursed related Periodic Advance or other servicing advances made in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, to be paid by (A) applying any balance in the
Collateral Fund to such purchase price, and (B) to the extent of any deficiency,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Purchaser to the
Company for deposit in the related Certificate Account; or (ii) the related
Servicer shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In the event that
the Purchaser purchases any such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall continue to
service the Mortgage Loan for the Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure
and as to which the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of
Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate
the amount, if any, by which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained
under subsection (c) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related
Mortgaged Property (net of Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to
the extended foreclosure period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of
such excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate
and in its capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional
Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After
making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect
of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and
deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03. Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure
Proceedings.
(a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a Delinquency
Report under Section 2.01(a)(ii), the Purchaser, for so long as the Purchaser
owns 100% of the Lowest Priority Certificates, may elect to instruct the Company
to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such
authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to proceed
with the Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must
be evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day following the delivery of such Delinquency
Report.
(b) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose,
the Purchaser shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an
amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If and when any such Mortgage
Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in
respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals
and deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser if
and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor
is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related mortgage note. The terms of
this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon
the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Foreclose subject to
Section 3.01.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has
made an Election to Foreclose, the related Servicer shall continue to service
the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Monthly Advances and
Liquidations Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection in accordance with its customary procedures. The
Company shall not be required to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master
Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the
related Servicer to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same
is stayed as a result of the mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by
applicable law, or to the extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto
have not yet been complied with, or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach
of representations or warranties by the Company, a Servicer, or the Depositor,
which may result in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or (iii)
the Company or related Servicer reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property may
be contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances
(and, without limiting the related Servicer's right not to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure, the Company supplies the Purchaser with information
supporting such belief). Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (x) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been
brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff) or (y) if the related
Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to
which the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in
accordance with subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if
any, by which the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of
liquidation (plus all unreimbursed interest and servicing advances and
Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid from the
Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related
Mortgaged Property, and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess
from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its
capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation
Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such
withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for
all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c) in respect of such
Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04. Termination.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Estate,
the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election
to Foreclose and the Company's obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate
(i) at such time as the Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) 43% (or such lower or higher
percentage that represents the related Servicer's actual historical loss
experience with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool as determined
by the Company) of the aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that
are in foreclosure or are more than 90 days delinquent on a contractual basis
and REO properties or (y) the aggregate amount that the Company estimates
through the normal servicing practices of the related Servicer will be required
to be withdrawn from the Collateral Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to
which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to
Foreclosure, exceeds (z) the then-current principal balance of the Class B
Certificates, (iii) upon any transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other
than the minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides written
acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B Certificates (whether
or not such transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
including any such transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Estate
or (iv) upon any breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Purchaser.
(b) Except as set forth in 2.04(a), this Agreement and the
respective rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the
Company hereunder shall terminate upon the later to occur of (i) the final
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made any
Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose and the withdrawal of
all remaining amounts in the Collateral Fund as provided herein and (ii) ten
Business Days' notice. The Purchaser's right to make an election pursuant to
Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 hereof with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan
shall terminate if the Purchaser fails to make any deposit required pursuant to
Section 2.02(d) or 2.03(b) or if the Purchaser fails to make any other deposit
to the Collateral Fund pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL FUND; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 3.01. Collateral Fund.
Upon receipt from the Purchaser of the initial amount required to be
deposited in the Collateral Fund pursuant to Article II, the Company shall
establish and maintain with [ ] as a segregated account on its books and records
an account (the "Collateral Fund"), entitled "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master
Servicer, for the benefit of registered holders of Xxxxx Fargo Asset Securities
Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ]." Amounts held in the
Collateral Fund shall continue to be the property of the Purchaser, subject to
the first priority security interest granted hereunder for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, until withdrawn from the Collateral Fund pursuant to Section
2.02 or 2.03 hereof. The Collateral Fund shall be an "outside reserve fund"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by the Purchaser
for federal income tax purposes. All income, gain, deduction or loss with
respect to the Collateral Fund shall be that of the Purchaser. All distributions
from the Trust Fund to the Collateral Fund shall be treated as distributed to
the Purchaser as the beneficial owner thereof.
Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all Mortgage
Loans as to which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or
any Election to Foreclose pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall
distribute or cause to be distributed to the Purchaser all amounts remaining in
the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for all deposits and permitted withdrawals
pursuant to this Agreement) together with any investment earnings thereon. In
the event the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any
Election to Foreclose, prior to any distribution to the Purchaser of all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund, funds in the Collateral Fund shall be applied
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser, invest the
funds in the Collateral Fund in Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. Such
direction shall not be changed more frequently than quarterly. In the absence of
any direction, the Company shall select such investments in accordance with the
definition of Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in its discretion. All
income and gain realized from any investment as well as any interest earned on
deposits in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such investments) and any
payments of principal made in respect of any Collateral Fund Permitted
Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund upon receipt. All costs and
realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of Collateral Fund
Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the amount of net
realized losses shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the Collateral Fund
promptly upon realization. The Company shall periodically (but not more
frequently than monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an amount of
cash, to the extent cash is available therefore in the Collateral Fund, equal to
the amount by which the balance of the Collateral Fund, after giving effect to
all other distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund on such date,
exceeds the Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so distributed shall
be released from the lien and security interest of this Agreement.
Section 3.03. Grant of Security Interest.
The Purchaser hereby grants to the Company for the benefit of the
Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement a security interest
in and lien on all of the Purchaser's right, title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to: (1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts
deposited in the Collateral Fund and Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in
which such amounts are invested (and the distributions and proceeds of such
investments) and (3) all cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing,
including proceeds of the voluntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing
collectively, the "Collateral").
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and the security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take
all actions requested by the Company as may be reasonably necessary to perfect
the security interest created under this Agreement in the Collateral and cause
it to be prior to all other security interests and liens, including the
execution and delivery to the Company for filing of appropriate financing
statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file appropriate
continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file such
statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04. Collateral Shortfalls.
In the event that amounts on deposit in the Collateral Fund at any time
are insufficient to cover any withdrawals therefrom that the Company is then
entitled to make hereunder, the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such amounts
to the Company immediately upon demand. Such obligation shall constitute a
general corporate obligation of the Purchaser. The failure to pay such amounts
within two Business Days of such demand (except for amounts to cover interest on
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02(d) and 2.03 (b)), shall cause an
immediate termination of the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or Election to Foreclose and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to all Mortgage Loans to which such insufficiencies
relate, without the necessity of any further notice or demand on the part of the
Company.

and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing
and of the Depositor (each such entity, an "Indemnified Party"), and shall hold
each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based
upon:
(i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or
alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification,
accountants' letter or other material provided in written or
electronic form under this Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 hereof by or
on behalf of the Purchaser, or provided under Sections 4.01 or 4.02
by or on behalf of any Subcontractor (collectively, the "Purchaser
Information"), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in
the Purchaser Information a material fact required to be stated in
the Purchaser Information or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification,
that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by
reference to the Purchaser Information and not to any other
information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of
securities, without regard to whether the Purchaser Information or
any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from
such other information; or
(ii) any failure by the Purchaser or any Subcontractor engaged
by the Purchaser to deliver any information, report, certification,
accountants' letter or other material when and as required under
Sections 4.01 or 4.02, including any failure by the Purchaser to
identify pursuant to Section 4.02 any Subcontractor "participating

the Depositor, as applicable, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material not delivered as required by the Purchaser or any
Subcontractor. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to hold
harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Purchaser agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Indemnified Party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified
Party on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with a breach
of the Purchaser's obligations under this Section 4.1 or the Purchaser's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01 to the
contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall not apply to the Purchaser
with respect to any calendar year unless the Purchaser exercises its rights set
forth under Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement in such calendar year.
Section 4.02. Engagement of Affiliates or Third-Parties.
The Purchaser shall not hire any Subservicer without the consent of
the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Purchaser shall not hire or otherwise
utilize the services of any Subcontractor to fulfill any of the obligations of
the Purchaser as servicer under this Agreement unless the Purchaser complies
with the provisions of this Section.
It shall not be necessary for the Purchaser to seek the consent of
the Master Servicer or the Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor.
The Purchaser shall promptly upon request provide to the Master Servicer (or any
designee of Master Servicer) a written description (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function
of each Subcontractor utilized by the Purchaser, specifying (i) the identity of
each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to
be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Purchaser shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Purchaser, for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply
with the provisions of Section 4.01 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
such Subcontractor were the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall be responsible for
obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Master Servicer any
assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such
Subcontractor under Section 4.01, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Section 4.03. Notification of Merger.
The Purchaser and such successor or surviving Person shall notify
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any such merger,
conversion or consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective
date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Master Servicer with all
information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations
not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation
(unless giving prior notice would be prohibited by applicable law or by a
confidentiality agreement, in which case notice shall be given by 12 noon
eastern time one Business Day after such merger or consolidation).
Section 4.04. Compliance with Article IV.
If (a) the Purchaser fails to comply with its obligations to deliver
any assessment of servicing compliance or registered public accounting firm
attestation reports required pursuant to this Article IV or (b) any
Subcontractor engaged by the Purchaser fails to comply with its obligations to
deliver any assessment of servicing compliance or registered public accounting
firm attestation reports, the Master Servicer, may, after consultation with the
Depositor, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(iv).
