STATEMENT:
The

As
provided herein, the Trust Administrator will elect to treat the segregated
pool
of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
(other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, the Cap Account, the Cap Administration Agreement
and
the Cap Contract) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I.” The Class R-I
Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably
sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial
Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation

for purposes solely of the restrictions on the transfer of the Residual

ORIGINAL
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
| SECTION 2.01 |
Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse
for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest
of
the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the
Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Assignment Agreement, payments
made to the Trust Administrator by the Cap Administrator under the Cap
Administration Agreement and the Cap Account, and all other assets included
or
to be included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and principal
received by the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans
on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee
executed copies of the Assignment Agreement, and the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator acknowledge receipt of the same on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, the following
documents or instruments (a “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so transferred and assigned:
(i) The
Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse by
the
Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator in blank or to the Trustee showing
a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee or from
the
named payee to the Affiliate of the Originator and from such Affiliate to the
Trustee;
(ii) The
original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage
Loan,
if applicable, and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan
if
the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording thereon or a copy
of
the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those jurisdictions
where the public recording office retains the original;
(iii) Unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment from the
Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator to the Trustee in blank or in
recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where permitted by local
law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage to the Trustee,
including any intervening assignments and showing a complete chain of title
from
the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Person assigning the
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the presence of the MIN, if
the
Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System);
(iv) Any
original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate
agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan; and
(v) The
original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate
or
a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording
instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing
Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the
customary evidence of title; or in the event such original or copy of the title
insurance policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company.
In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to
or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of
its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except for
recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt of
such
Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been lost or
misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver,
in
lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information
and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof
was
made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (vi) above (which may be a certificate relating to a
master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or
a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating
to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date, in instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate
agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original of
such
agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified copy
thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage
or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record,
the
Servicer, at the expense of the Sponsor shall promptly (and in no event later
than five Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date
of
receipt by the Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit
or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment delivered
to it pursuant to (iii) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost
or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer, at the expense
of
the Sponsor, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute
Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in
recordable form, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to
submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it
or
a Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of the
Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their
assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates,
as
evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on
the
Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or
the Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B) the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (C) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor, (D) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and (E) with
respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating to the
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be
paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses
by
the Trust as Servicing Advances.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the
Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit.
If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was
delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by
or on
behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In
the
event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of
this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such
original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall
be
delivered promptly to the Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Cap Contract (in its capacity as Cap Trustee). The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates by
their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trust
Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the
Cap
Contract and shall do so solely in its capacity as Cap Trustee, as the case
may
be, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection
to
the Trust Administrator shall apply to the Trust Administrator’s execution of
the Cap Contract, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its
obligations thereunder.
| SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall,
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage
File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if
applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the
course of such review the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds
a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall
promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the
Servicer and, if such notice is from the related Custodian on the Trustee’s
behalf, the Trustee. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Sponsor in the
Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders
in
such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian pursuant to which
the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the related Custodian shall, on
behalf of the Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under
the first paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank West, FSB is
appointed as Custodian with respect to the related Mortgage Files of all the
related Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
it
is understood that such initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review
contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided
for herein with respect to the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set
forth herein).
| SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, a Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that
a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator
or
the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Assignment
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders,
the party so discovering or receiving notice shall promptly notify the other
parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify
the
Originator and the Sponsor of such defect, missing document or breach and
request that the Originator or the Sponsor deliver such missing document or
cure
such defect or that the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, cure such
breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if
the
Originator or Sponsor, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document
or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator or Sponsor, as
applicable, under the Assignment Agreement (i) to repurchase such Mortgage
Loan
from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the
Sponsor was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document,
defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of such
missing document, defect or breach, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if
and
to the extent that the Originator or Sponsor, as applicable, is obligated to
do
so under the Assignment Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be remitted by the Originator or
the
Sponsor, as applicable, to the Servicer for deposit into the related Collection
Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written notice from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice to the Trustee and the
Custodian that such deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or
cause the Custodian to release on its behalf) to the Originator or the Sponsor,
as applicable, the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of the
foregoing, if the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, is not a member
of
MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System,
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement,
at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS
to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System
in
accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Assignment Agreement,
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be
removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan)
and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
to
cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which
a
document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or
as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent
provided in the Assignment Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification
obligations with respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided
in
the Assignment Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with respect to any breach by
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, of any representation and warranty
which
breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge
or
the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
the
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, to remedy such breach as provided in the Assignment Agreement as
follows: upon any Principal Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage
Loan, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall pay or cause to be
paid to the Purchaser the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of such Prepayment
Charge calculated as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and (y) the amount
collected from the Mortgagor in respect of such Prepayment Charge.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is
two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, delivering
to
the Trustee (or to the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as
applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof
and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any,
in connection with such substitution. The Custodian on its behalf and on behalf
of the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly
so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Originator, the Sponsor
and the Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund
and
will be retained by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the
month
of substitution, and the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect
of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or cause to
be
given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend or cause
the related Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon
receipt thereof, shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to
the Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Assignment Agreement (including
all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Assignment
Agreement), in each case as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, substitutes one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together
with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee
will monitor the obligation of the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
to
deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request that such delivery be to
the
Servicer for deposit in the related Collection Account, an amount equal to
the
Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee (or the related Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the related Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given by the Servicer
of
such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
the
related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall deliver
to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall obtain at its
own
expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal
tax
to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal
tax
imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered,
then
such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion
of
Counsel can be given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, a Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall
within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties to
this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Sponsor. In connection therewith, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, or the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt
of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results
from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator
or the Sponsor, as applicable, under the Assignment Agreement or (iii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is
a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee
shall reconvey to the Depositor, the Originator or the Sponsor, as the case
may
be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and
on
the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the
Originator or the Sponsor for breach of a representation or
warranty.

the
Mortgage Loans by the Servicer hereunder, the consummation of any other of
the
transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with
the
terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will
not
(A) result in a breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of
the
Servicer or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration
of,
or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or
any
statute, order or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Servicer; and the Servicer is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or
violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to
or in
violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which
materially and adversely affects or, to the Servicer’s knowledge, would in the

perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) the business, operations,
financial condition, properties or assets of the Servicer taken as a
whole;

standing and is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section
211
of the National Housing Act;
(v) Except
as
disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no litigation is pending against the
Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery
or
enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service
the
Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in
accordance with the terms hereof;
(vi) No
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency

of,
or compliance by the Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation of the

approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior
to
the Closing Date;
(vii) The
information set forth in the “monthly tape” provided to the Trustee or any of
its affiliates is true and correct in all material respects;
(viii) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Assignment is in recordable form (except
that
the name of the assignee and the recording information with respect to such
Mortgage Loan is blank) and each Mortgage Loan was originated in the name of
the
Servicer or an affiliate thereof; and
(ix) The
Servicer has fully furnished and shall continue to fully furnish, in accordance
with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower
credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company
or
their successors on a monthly basis.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set
forth in this Section 2.05(a) shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files
to
the Trustee or to the related Custodian on its behalf and shall inure to the
benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the

representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. Subject to Section 7.01, the
obligation of Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(c) to cure breaches shall
constitute the sole remedies against the Servicer available to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05.
| SECTION 2.06 |

of the Certificates.
|
The

to it or to the related Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, together with the assignment
to it of all other assets included in REMIC I delivered on the date hereof,

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
| SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
Unless
otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken by “the Servicer”
under this Article III or any other provision of this Agreement with respect
to
a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or with respect to an REO Property or REO
Properties shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by the Servicer
with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans serviced thereby or with
respect to an REO Property or REO Properties administered thereby.
Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken
or previously taken by “the Servicer” under this Article III or any other
provision of this Agreement with respect to “the Collection Account” or “the
Servicing Account” shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by the
Servicer with respect to the Collection Account or an escrow account to be
established and maintained thereby. Consistent with the foregoing, but only
insofar as the context so permits, this Article III is to be read as if the
Servicer alone was servicing and administering its Mortgage Loans
hereunder.
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) (a) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or
the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, (ii) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii) the
amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule
is
not consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable,
(iv) the Servicer has not received information and documentation sufficient
to
confirm the existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge or (v) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written
guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting
the
standard described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and a
representation or warranty regarding such Prepayment Charge has been breached,
then, the Trustee shall make commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to
enforce the obligations of the Originator under the related Master Agreement
to
pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders
of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
be
under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless
directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees
to
assist the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase
or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or
warranty under the Assignment Agreement. If the Originator fails to pay the
amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations
under
the related Master Agreement, the Trustee, Trust Administrator, the Servicer
and
the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken against the
Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Trustee and
the Originator are the same entity, the Trust Administrator shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the related Master Agreement pursuant to
the
terms of this paragraph. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than in
accordance with (i) through (v) above, the Servicer shall pay the amount of
such
waived Prepayment Charge to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates
(the “Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided
in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to
be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance
of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which
advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit provided,
however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount
of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection
with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default or,
in
the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that
would
change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the
startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
The
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer servicing the Mortgage Loans on its behalf) has
fully furnished and will continue to fully furnish, in accordance with the
Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files
to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
on a monthly basis.
| SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans in
a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter
into
and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different
forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of
this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made
or
entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to
the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to
insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and
charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances
by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and
any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution
and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out
to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
| SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee,
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due
to a
Servicer Event of Default).
| SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder
by
the Servicer herein.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
| SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust
Administrator or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders shall not
be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties
or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
| SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trust
Administrator.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trust
Administrator or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall
not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trust Administrator, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
| SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing
standards set forth in Section 3.01, the Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive
any provision of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit
to
mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii)
extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
of
not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event
of
any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to,
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, if
in the
Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking
into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action).
| SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
| SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for
the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for
any
advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments)
and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii)
refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay
interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in
the
Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part
of
its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds
in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay
such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect
Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments
but
the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as
provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision to
the
contrary notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its
own
funds to effect such payments.
| SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must
be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities
on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in
no
event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it from and after the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than
Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but
allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and any
Prepayment Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
(a) proceeds to be held in an escrow account and applied to the restoration
or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement or (b) proceeds collected in respect of any
particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with
a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section
9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment
Interest Excess or assumption fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not
be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit
in
the Distribution Account on or before 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated
without regard to the subtraction therefrom of the Credit Risk Manager Fee)
for
the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the
amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable Prepayment
Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then
on
deposit in the Collection Account.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trust Administrator (who shall give notice
to
the Trustee and the Depositor) of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust
Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor
of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit,
and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall
so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trust Administrator
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
| SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to
the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect
to
which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.03;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor,
or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any Servicing
Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the
extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on
the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant
to
Section 2.03 all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase
or
substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously
made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(vii) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section
6.03;
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case
may
be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving
rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not otherwise
retained);
(x) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(xii) to
withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii)
above.
(b) The
Trust
Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section
4.01;
(ii) to
pay to
itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
(iii) to
reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.02;
(iv) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to 10.01(g)(iii);
(v) to
pay
any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;
(vi) to
reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee for any P&I Advance made by
it under Section 7.01 (if not reimbursed by the Servicer) to the same extent
the
Servicer would be entitled to reimbursement under Section 3.11(a);
(vii) to
pay
the Credit Risk Manager the Credit Risk Manager Fee; and
(viii) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
| SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the
Trust Administrator may at the direction of the Depositor direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to hold the funds in such Investment
Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one
or
more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than
the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of
the
Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary
to
transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee.
In
the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator, shall
be
for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be subject to its
withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon
realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may
be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
| SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the least
of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property,
in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid
the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance
on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part
of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply
in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by
the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however, that the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances
incurred pursuant to this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification
of a
Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i)
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under
the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program) and (iii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged
Property.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of
this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
| SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption agreement has
been
completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
| SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and
as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c)
The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of
such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited
in
the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to
be
released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trust Administrator,
upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A).
| SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the related Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the related
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon
receipt of such certification and request, the related Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer,
and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on
the
MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and expense
of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder
of
all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the related Custodian and
the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the
related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the related Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents
as
shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for
Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously
requested from the Mortgage File to the related Custodian when the need therefor
by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in the Collection Account or the Mortgage 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, and the Servicer has delivered to the related Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to
the
name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document
was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property,
a
copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the related Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably 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 or
trustee’s sale.
| SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds
to
the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived
from
the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section
3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole
or
in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to
pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to
the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
| SECTION 3.19 |
Reports
to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Upon
reasonable request by the Trust Administrator (such request to be made by the
related Distribution Date), the Servicer shall forward to the Trust
Administrator no later than 10 calendar days after such request, a statement
prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account
as
of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month relating to
such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account
of
each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of
withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of
the
then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage
Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also
include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances
of
all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately
preceding such Distribution Date or such other format as mutually agreed to
between the Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Copies of such statement
shall
be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of
a
Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party,
provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trust
Administrator.
| SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, on or before March
20th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, 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 of cure provisions thereof. The Servicer
shall
deliver, or cause any entity determined by the Servicer to be a Sub-Servicer
to
deliver, a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which
the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator as described above as and when
required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer does not deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance by March
20th
of any
year, either the Trust Administrator or the Depositor shall provide the Servicer
with written notice of its failure to deliver such Annual Statement of
Compliance and the Servicer shall have 5 calendar days from the date its receipt
of such written notice to cure such failure to deliver.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the
Trust
Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee may at the direction of
the
Depositor, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same;
provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer,
such provision shall be given effect. This paragraph shall supercede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based solely and directly upon a breach of the Servicer’s
obligations under this Section 3.20. Such indemnification shall not cover any
damages that are indirect, consequential, punitive or special in
nature.
| SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
C
hereto). The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator on or before
March 20th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
the Servicer, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria set
forth in Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(iii) cause
each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report
as
and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section
3.21(a).
(iv) a
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) The
Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report as and when provided above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the
Trust
Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the
Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same;
provided, however, the Depositor shall not be entitled to instruct the Trustee
to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to clause
(iii)
above if a failure of the Servicer to identify a subcontractor “participating in
the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was
attributable solely to the role or functions of such subcontractor with respect
to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans. This paragraph shall supercede
any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trust administrator.”
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based solely and directly upon a breach of the Servicer’s
obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors
and
Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon any failure
of the Trust Administrator to deliver when required its Assessment of
Compliance. Such indemnification shall not cover any damages that are indirect,
consequential, punitive or special in nature.
| SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of
the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of, and for purposes of
providing such documentation to, any Person identified as
a Certificateholder or any federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder
or a
prospective transferee of a Certificate or a subject to the execution of a
confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer,
upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of any such
party to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such party to provide access
as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a
breach of this Section 3.22. In each case, access to any documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party’s acknowledgment
in writing of a confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is
required to remain confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of
1999.
| SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before
the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension
of the above three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
the
close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted
assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after
the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account,
in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into
the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will
not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified
in
such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such
fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net
of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d),
shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it and
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date relating
to
a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall
be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar
properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be

(g) The

Shortfalls.

The

lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the
related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments
during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the applicable Compensating

| SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts
paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
| SECTION 3.26 |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) The
Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund is hereby authorized
to
enter into a facility (an “Advance Facility”) with any Person (an “Advancing
Person”) (1) under which the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing
Person the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the
Advancing Person may fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the
Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or
otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility
pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person,
the Trust Administrator shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming
its
receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent
that
an Advancing Person funds any P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance or is
assigned the right to be reimbursed for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance
and provides the Trust Administrator with notice acknowledged by the Servicer
that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trust
Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing
Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement
for
such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such notice from the
Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section
of
this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to
be
reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing
Person to request reimbursement from the Trust Administrator, rather than the
Servicer, and include the Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an event
of default under the Advance Facility. The Trust Administrator shall have no
duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be
paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.26. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If,
pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing Person is entitled
to reimbursement directly from the Trust Administrator, then the Servicer shall
not reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii)
or
Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead
the
Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trust
Administrator made pursuant to Section 3.10 to the extent of amounts on deposit
in the Collection Account on the Servicer Remittance Date. The Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent
permitted under the terms of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii)
or Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded
such
Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trust Administrator is hereby authorized
to
pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the
parties to any Advance Facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trust
Administrator. An Advance Facility may provide that the Servicer will otherwise
cause the remittance of P&I Advance and/or Servicing Advance reimbursement
amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the foregoing sentences in this
Section 3.26(b) shall not apply.
(c) All
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out”
(FIFO) basis.
(d) None
of
the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any other Person shall have
any
right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset or recoupment)
to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to the reimbursement of P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned, conveyed or pledged
to
an Advancing Person, or that relate to P&I Advances or Servicing Advances
that were funded by an Advancing Person.
(e) Any
amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.26, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the parties
to
this Agreement without the consent of any Certificateholder but with written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in
the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class
of
Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or
a
portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the
Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.

to
Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase

of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(c) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro

among
the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage

on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e)
or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and with respect to any Class of Certificates other
than the Residual Certificates is the registered owner of Certificates having
an
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser
of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first
class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable
law.
(d) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the
Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed
on
the Certificates.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall, no later
than
five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each
Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds
for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses
of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year
after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or
to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator
as
a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than
once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trust Administrator from information provided by
the
Servicer and reported by the Trust Administrator based on the OTS methodology
for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans.
By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with respect to a Monthly
Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close
of
business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan
would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment
if
such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage
Loan’s second succeeding Due Date.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall forward to each Person (with a copy to the Trustee) who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a
statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii)
above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust
Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time
are
in force.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available to the
Depositor, each Holder of a Residual Certificate, the Trustee, the Servicer
and
the Credit Risk Manager, a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date and a statement setting forth
the
amounts, if any, actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates,
respectively, on such Distribution Date.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall forward to each Person (with a copy to the Trustee) who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a
statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect
to
the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator to such Holders pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Code as are in force from time to time.
Upon
request, the Trust
Administrator
shall
forward to each Certificateholder, during the term of this Agreement, such
periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided
for
herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or
otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports
or
information to be provided at the expense of the Certificateholder in accordance
with such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the
Certificateholder may provide. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Trust
Administrator’s duties are limited to the extent that the Trust Administrator
receives timely reports as required from the Servicer.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall provide Bloomberg Financial
Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) on its website (1) CUSIP level factors for each
class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date and (2) the number and
aggregate unpaid principal balance of Mortgage Loans that are (a) delinquent
30
to 59 days, (b) delinquent 60 to 89 days, (c) delinquent 90 or more days in
each
case, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month, (d) as to which
foreclosure proceedings have been commenced and (e) with respect to which the
related Mortgagor has filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws,
with respect to whom bankruptcy proceedings are pending or with respect to
whom
bankruptcy protection is in force, in each case using a format and media
mutually acceptable to the Trust Administrator and Bloomberg.
For
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall calculate the Significance
Percentage of the Cap Contract. If on any such Distribution Date through and
including the Distribution Date in December 2006, the Significance Percentage
is
equal to or greater than 10%, the Trust Administrator shall promptly notify
the
Depositor and the Depositor shall file, by Form 10-D no later than fifteen
days
following the related Distribution Date, the financial statements of the Cap
Provider as required by Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
| SECTION 4.03 |
Remittance
Reports; P&I Advances.
|
(a) No
later
than the 18th
day of
the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs or, if such
18th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator, in a mutually agreed upon electronic format
(or by such other means as the Servicer and the Trust Administrator may agree
from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution
Date. The Trust Administrator shall, on behalf of the Servicer, on such date
furnish a copy of such Remittance Report to the Credit Risk Manager by such
means as the Trust Administrator shall agree from time to time. Such
Remittance Report will include such other information with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as the Trust Administrator may reasonably require to perform
the
calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01
and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.02. No
later
than the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trust
Administrator a monthly report containing such information regarding prepayments
in full on Mortgage Loans during the applicable Prepayment Period in a format
as
mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Neither
the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the
Servicer.
(b) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan on which a Monthly Payment was due during the
related Due Period and delinquent on the related Determination Date, the amount
of the Servicer's P&I Advance will be equal to the amount of the Monthly
Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that is delinquent as of the close
of
business on the related Determination Date. With respect to each REO Property,
which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period
and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the
related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Monthly
Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the
related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, over the net income
from such REO Property deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date.
By
4:00
p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit
in
immediately available funds to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the related
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of
the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been,
as
permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for future distribution used
by
a Servicer to make a P&I Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the
related Distribution Date (determined without regard to P&I Advances to be
made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that
would be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such
Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been
so
used to make P&I Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to
the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior
to
the Distribution Date via email to the appropriate investor reporting contact
of
the Servicer (as well as the manager of the Servicer’s investor reporting group)
in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator
on such date is less than the P&I Advances required to be made by the
Servicer for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except
as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a
Servicing Officer delivered to the Trust Administrator (whereupon, upon receipt
of such certification, the Trust Administrator shall forward a copy of such
certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the application of Liquidation
Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a Final Recovery
Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
remain unreimbursed to the Servicer, then without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer regarding such
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be required to be delivered by the
Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
| SECTION 4.04 |
Allocation
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized
Losses.
|
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan
and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such
Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to
each
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan:
(A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with
any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due
Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to
be
supplied by the Servicer shall be either included in the related Remittance
Report (in form and format reasonably required and mutually agreed upon by
the
Servicer) or evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date
immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable
to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred,
and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during
which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Interest
Distribution Amount for the Class CE Certificates for the related Interest
Accrual Period; second, to payments received under the Cap Contract, third,
to
the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has
been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the
Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-8
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; eighth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-6 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth,
to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to
the
Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been
reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and fourteenth,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero.
All
Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all
Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual
distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above
to
the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each
case
to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by
the
amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE
Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
or the Class P Certificates.
(c) The
REMIC
I Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date to
the
following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:

REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%,

I

I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; twelfth,

Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 has been reduced to

(d) The
REMIC
I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after
all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to
keep
the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the
designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance
of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x)
the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of
Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that
the
REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining
Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTXX.
| SECTION 4.05 |
Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall comply
with
all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of interest or original issue discount that the Trust Administrator reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trust Administrator
does
withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to
such
Certificateholders.
| SECTION 4.06 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Citibank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered
holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-AMC1.”
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such
Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating
Rate
Certificates, and shall distribute the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount,
if any, for such Distribution Date from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(g).
On
each
Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
on
the Floating Rate Certificates, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, shall be payable to the Trust Administrator as
additional compensation to it, subject to the immediately following
paragraph.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class CE
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
CE
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it
is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the
Holder of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC III to the Holder of the Class
CE
Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside
reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Floating
Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed
to
the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC
and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest”
in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each
Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for
good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
by such acceptance.
(e) All
amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount may have more
than a de
minimis
value.

Commission
Reporting.
|
(a)
(i)
Within 10 days after each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall,
in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a distribution report on Form
10-D, signed by the Depositor, with a copy of the monthly statement to be
furnished by the Trust Administrator to the Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required
to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing that information, and the Trust Administrator
will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency of any
such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and the Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form
10-D
resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
obtain any information in a timely manner from the party responsible for
delivery of such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure.
Within
5
calendar days after the related Distribution Date (or if not a Business Day,
the
immediately preceding Business Day), each entity that is indicated in Exhibit
B
as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D Disclosure shall
be
required to provide to the Trust
Administrator and
the
Depositor, to the extent known, clearly identifying which item of Form 10-D
the

The
Trust Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the
Form 10-D and forward the Form 10-D to the Depositor for verification. The
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the Form 10-D. No later than three Business Days prior to the 10th
calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall

the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D
(with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust
Administrator.
(ii) (ii)Within
three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Trust Administrator shall
prepare and file any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, (other than
the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, which
shall be prepared and filed by the Depositor). Any disclosure or information
related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included
on
Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be determined and prepared by
the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing
that information. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for
determining what information is required to be filed on Form 8-K or for any
filing that is not made on a timely basis in accordance with Regulation AB
in
the event that such information is not delivered to the Trust Administrator
on
or prior to the fourth Business Day prior to the applicable filing
deadline.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than the end of business on the second Business Day after the occurrence
of a Reportable Event, the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be
required to provide to the Trust Administrator, to the extent known, the form
and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Trust
Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, and prepare and
file
the Form 8-K, which shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.
(iii) Prior
to
January 30 of the first year in which the Trust Administrator is able to do
so
under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall, in accordance with industry
standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund,

a
Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year
thereafter, the Trust Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
staff’s interpretations and conforming to industry standards, with respect to
the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Assessment of Compliance,
Attestation Report, Annual Compliance Statements and other documentation
provided by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and 3.21 (including with
respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required to be filed) and
Section 3.21 with respect to the Trust Administrator, and the Form 10-K
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 (the “Certification”)
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
The
Trust Administrator shall receive the items described in the preceding sentence
no later than March 20th
of each
calendar year prior to the filing deadline for the Form 10-K.
If
information, data and exhibits to be included in the Form 10-K are not so timely
delivered, the Trust Administrator shall file an amended Form 10-K
including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are
delivered to the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic
reports resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or
failure to timely obtain any information from any other party.
Prior
to
(x) March 1, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 1st
of each
year thereafter, each entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible
party for providing Additional Form 10-K Disclosure shall be required to provide
to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, the form
and
substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure Information, if applicable.
The
Trust Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the
Form 10-K and forward the Form 10-K to the Depositor for verification. The
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the Form 10-K by no later than March 25th
of the
relevant year (or the immediately preceding Business Day if March 25th
is not a
Business Day), an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust Administrator.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable
to any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer delegated any of its responsibilities
with respect to the Mortgage Loans at any time, for purposes of disclosure
as
required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. The Trust Administrator will
provide electronic or paper copies of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free
of charge to any Certificateholder upon written request. Any expenses incurred
by the Trust Administrator in connection with the previous sentence shall be
reimbursable to the Trust Administrator out of the Trust Fund.
The
Trust
Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (the “Trust
Administrator Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trust Administrator
shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation Report attached as an exhibit
to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification (the “Servicer
Certification”) solely with respect to the Servicer (substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H-3 or Exhibit H-4, as applicable) for the
benefit of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and each Person, if any,
who
“controls” the Depositor or the Trust Administrator within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and their respective officers and directors.
Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator by March 20th
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). The
Certification attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 shall be delivered to the
Trust Administrator by March 25th
for
filing on or prior to March 31st
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day).
(b) In
addition, (A) the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of third party claims solely and directly based upon (i)
a
breach of the Trust Administrator’s obligations under this Section 4.07 or (ii)
any material misstatement or omission contained in the Trust Administrator
Certification and (B) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator and their respective officers, directors
and
Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third
party claims based upon (i) a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this
Section 4.07, (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in the
Assessment of Compliance provided by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21
or
(iii) any information correctly derived by the Trust Administrator and included
in a Form 10-D or Form 10-K from information provided to the Trust Administrator
by the Servicer under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i) the
Trust Administrator agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trust Administrator
on
the other and (ii) the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust Administrator or
any
Servicer be liable for any special, consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.
| SECTION 4.08 |
Cap
Account
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
or
the Cap Administrator, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “U.S. Bank
National Association, as Cap Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-AMC1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2006-AMC1—Cap Account.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts
therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, pursuant to the Cap Administration Agreement, prior
to
any distribution to any Certificate, the Cap Administrator on behalf of the
Cap
Trustee shall deposit into the Cap Account amounts received by it under the
Cap
Contract, for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(6) above.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Cap Account be disregarded as an entity
separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the
date
when either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b) any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Cap Account for federal income
tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Cap
Account be treated as a partnership. The Cap Account will be an “outside reserve
fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the
termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Cap Account shall be
released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders
or
their designees. The Cap Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part
of
any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby
directed, to deposit into the Cap Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date.
Upon
an
early termination of the Cap Contract other than in connection with the optional
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Depositor will use reasonable efforts to identify a satisfactory
successor cap contract provider and the Cap Trustee will appoint such successor.
The Cap Administrator on behalf of the Cap Trustee will apply any Cap Contract
Termination Payment received from the original Cap Provider in connection with
such early termination of the Cap Contract to the upfront payment required
to
appoint the successor cap contract provider. If the Cap Trustee is unable to
appoint a successor cap contract provider within 30 days of the Cap Contract
Early Termination, then the Cap Trustee will establish, and will deposit any
Cap
Termination Payment received from the original Cap Provider into, a separate,
non-interest bearing reserve account (a “Cap Termination Reserve Account”) and
will, on each subsequent distribution date, withdraw from the amount then
remaining on deposit in such reserve account an amount equal to the payment,
if
any, that would have been paid to the trust administrator by the original Cap
Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Cap Contract,
and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 3(a) and the Cap
Administration Agreement.
Upon
a
Cap Contract Early Termination in connection with the optional termination
of
the trust, if the Cap Trustee or the Cap Administrator on its behalf receives
a
Cap Contract Termination Payment from the Cap Provider, such Cap Contract
Termination Payment will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the
Cap
Administration Agreement.
ARTICLE
V
THE
CERTIFICATES
| SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-19. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
by the Trust Administrator to or upon the order of the Depositor. The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the proper officers of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust
Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication 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 there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trust
Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication 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.
(b) The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as
provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository
or
its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may
not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository
that
agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by
the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal
procedures. The Trust Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith
and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing
it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator, any other
transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act
as
Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than
the
Depository. If the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with
the terms hereof, the successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the
Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry
Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies
of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry
Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository
as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record
date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository
is
no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
or
(ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests
of
the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust Administrator through the
Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trust Administrator of the Book- Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian
or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions
from
the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trust Administrator shall
issue
the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in
minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that
was
represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000
immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued
in
a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry
Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
| SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be
appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject
to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any
such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the
case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee or
indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture (provided that upon such
a
transfer the Trust Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Credit
Risk
Manager, if any) or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee or
indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially
in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer,
in
its capacity as such, or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the
1933
Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required
under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate
Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee
and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date,
of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as
certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless, (i) in the case
of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, the
Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the
effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and
the
Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund or (ii) in the case
of a
Class M-11 or Class M-10 Certificate, (1) such Person is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest
therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification
nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer
by an
Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P
or
Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or
Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to
have
represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets)
and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be
a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee
as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein shall be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor,
(ii)
for Mezzanine Certificates other than the Class M-10 and Class M-11
Certificates, it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in
reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-23, as amended by XXX
00-00, XXX 0000-00 and PTE 2002-41 (the “Underwriters’ Exemption”), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Underwriters’ Exemption, including that such Mezzanine Certificate must be
rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by
S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch and the Certificates are so rated or (iii) (1) it is
an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the
Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as
such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and
III
of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired
or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the
next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner
of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund from
and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those
parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
(c) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Trust Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below
to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall require delivery to it and shall
not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it
is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d)
and
agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
who
is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trust Administrator stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trust
Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within
the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
if
it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trust
Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if
it
shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trust Administrator
as a
condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual
Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received
a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect
that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under
no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator on
such
terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall
promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Trust
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Trust Administrator. The proceeds
of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable
to
the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will
be remitted by the Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in
the
sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Trust
Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute
any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing
such
information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may
be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add
to
or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to
an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(e) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, upon notice from the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator
shall execute, authenticate 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
Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In
addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof
may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest that was
evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect
to
each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate Certificates,
each
representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-III
Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(f) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator 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.
(g) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with its customary
procedures.

Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.

If

any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the
Trust Administrator receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the
Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and
Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust
Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, 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.

pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of
the

of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

case
any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor
or
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of
the
Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor

| SECTION 6.03 |
Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and
Others.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer (and any
Sub-Servicer) shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer (and any
Sub-Servicer) or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) pursuant hereto or the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The
Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer 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 or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Depositor,
the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer, employee or
agent
of the Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be indemnified
and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against (i) any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or

performance of duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties

breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans. None of
the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-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 or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the
Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion undertake any such action
which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement or
the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the rights and duties of
the
parties hereto or to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and
the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) acts without the consent of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder
or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable), the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless

it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such
resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating
of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed
to assume the duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. Any such
determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such
effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective
until the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, in accordance
with
Section 7.02 hereof, or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this

expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of
its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate

compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable

to
all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect
of
the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the
Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the
Trust Administrator its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial
statements of the parent company of the Servicer and such other information
relating to the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two
sentences without the Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts
to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information.
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of a Servicer
under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of a Servicer under this Agreement
or exercise the rights of any Servicer under this Agreement; provided that
a
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement
by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor
shall
not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by
a
Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of a Servicer under
this Agreement or otherwise.

Duties
of the Credit Risk Manager.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Trust, pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement, the
Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain
delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any
Prepayment Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and
recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk
Manager in form and format as specified in the Credit Risk Management Agreement,
and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer for all
information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data)
relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination
of
the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager,
the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not
become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk
Manager.
| SECTION 6.07 |
Limitation
Upon Liability of the Credit Risk
Manager.
|
Neither
the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders,
the
Trust Administrator or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining
from
the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in
reliance upon information provided by the Servicer under the related Credit
Risk
Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance
or
bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder,
and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the
Servicer pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement in the
performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
| SECTION 6.08 |
Removal
of the Credit Risk Manager.
|
The
Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by a vote of at least
a majority of the holders of the Class CE Certificates, in the exercise of
its
or their sole discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide written notice
of
the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trust
Administrator.
Upon
receipt of such notice, the Trust Administrator shall provide written notice
to
the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt
of

Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer (and to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator if
given by the Trustee or to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator if given
by
the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
in
its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by
law,
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
If a
Servicer Event of Default described in clause (viii) hereof shall occur and
shall not have been remedied during the applicable time period set forth in
clause (viii) above, the Trust Administrator shall, by notice in writing to
the
Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On
or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trust Administrator pursuant
to
and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trust Administrator is
hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute
and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, 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 Servicer agrees, at its sole
cost
and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trust Administrator with all documents
and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions
under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trust Administrator in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business
Day
to the Trust Administrator for administration by it of all cash amounts which
at
the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection
Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any
REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property
serviced by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue
to
be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement
on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
a
Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, assigned to and working in the
Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office, as applicable,
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is
in
fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, and such notice references the Certificates,
the
Trust Fund or this Agreement.
| SECTION 7.02 |
Trust
Administrator or Trustee to Act; Appointment of
Successor.
|
(a) On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trust
Administrator (and in the event the Trust Administrator fails in its obligation,
the Trustee) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall not have the
right
to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account without the consent of the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under
this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in
Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses
pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without
limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as applicable, is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to
make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trust Administrator
or
the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform
such
duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide
information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, as successor to the Servicer
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as
applicable, shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all funds relating
to
the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had
continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become
due to the Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding
the above, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it
is
prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans,
or
if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights
so
request in writing to the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
an
established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the Rating
Agencies and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor
to
the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.
No
appointment of a successor Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective
until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities,
duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and
assumption described herein, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as
applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall act in such capacity
as
hereinabove provided.
(b) In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either
(i) the successor servicer, including the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as
applicable, if the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is acting
as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS
in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the
rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its
records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as
necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and to
execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as
may
be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer.
The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment
in
the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and
all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees
and
costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this
Section 7.02(b).
| SECTION 7.03 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment
of a
successor to a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trust
Administrator shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not
later
than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes
or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer
Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trust
Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of
each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.
| SECTION 7.04 |
Waiver
of Servicer Events of Default.
|
Subject
to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default;
provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause
(i)
or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default,
such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so
waived.
ARTICLE
VIII
CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
| SECTION 8.01 |
Duties
of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which
may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive
right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be responsible for
the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found not
to
conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, it shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected,
and
if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, it will provide notice
thereof to the Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all
the
Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations
of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be determined solely
by
the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall 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
or the Trust Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, 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 or the Trust Administrator,
as
the case may be, that conform to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the it or exercising
any
trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement; and
(iv) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to take notice or
be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall have
received written notice thereof or a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge,
the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively assume
there
is no default.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to expend or risk
its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, in
each
case not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, including the compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary
course of the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s, as the case may be,
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. With
respect to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, to perform, or be responsible for the manner
of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement,
except during such time, if any, as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties,
powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
| SECTION 8.02 |
Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Trust

and conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors

request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;

of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, may consult with

Counsel;
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to

to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, security
or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of the obligation,
upon
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as
a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of
such person’s own affairs;
(iv) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to
be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(v) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default hereunder, and after the curing
of
all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee
nor
the Trust Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, 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 or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator, as applicable, by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require indemnity satisfactory to it
against such cost, expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall
be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care;
(vii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account at the
direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(viii) Any
request or direction of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Certificateholders
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced in writing.
(b) All
rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates,
enforceable by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, may be enforced by it
without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof
at
the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be brought
in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject
to
the provisions of this Agreement.

|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature
of
the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, the authentication of the

and
the Trust Administrator contained in Article II and the representations and
warranties of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in Section 8.12) shall
be
taken as the statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any representations or warranties
as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically
set
forth in Section 8.12) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of
the
Trust Administrator and authentication of the Trust Administrator on the

| SECTION 8.04 |

|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its individual capacity or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights
it

applicable.
| SECTION 8.05 |
Trustee’s,
Trust Administrator’s and Custodians’ Fees and
Expenses.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution
Date and pay to itself any income and gain realized from the investment of
funds
deposited in the Distribution Account. The Trustee’s fees will be paid by the
Trust Administrator pursuant to a separate agreement between the Trustee and
the
Trust Administrator, and such compensation will not be an expense of the Trust.
Each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, a Custodian and any director,
officer, employee or agent of any of them, as applicable, shall be indemnified
by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
(not
including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or a Custodian, as applicable, including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel,
in
the ordinary course of the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s or a

pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection
with
the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement (or, in the case of a Custodian, under the applicable Custodial

breach of any Servicer’s obligations in connection with this Agreement for which
the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator pursuant
to
Section 8.05(b) and Section 10.03 (and in the case of the Trustee, resulting
from any breach of the Trust Administrator’s obligations in connection with this
Agreement for which the Trust Administrator shall indemnify the Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.03(a) and in the case of the Trust Administrator, resulting from
any breach of the Trustee’s obligations in connection with this Agreement for

loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless

under the applicable Custodial Agreement) or as a result of a breach of the
Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s obligations under Article X hereof (or,
in the case of a Custodian, as a result of a breach of such Custodian’s
obligations under the related Custodial Agreement). Any amounts payable to
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, a Custodian, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of any of them in respect of the indemnification provided
by
this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the
Trust Fund that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, a Custodian or any
director, officer, employee or agent of any of them may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator for payment to
the
applicable indemnified Person from the Distribution Account at any
time.
(b) The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any
Custodian from, and hold each harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
or such Custodian, as the case may be. Any payment hereunder made by the
Servicer to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or such Custodian shall be
from
the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund
therefor.
| SECTION 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all times be a
corporation or an association organized and doing business under the laws of
any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
| SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
|
Either
of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Certificateholders and, if the Trustee is resigning, to
the
Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person
in the event both the Trustee and the Trust Administrator resign or are removed)
by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to
the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor trustee or trust
administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to
the Certificateholders, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and
the Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or trust administrator
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as
applicable.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
(or
in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or
trust
administrator (which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or trust administrator.
A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and the Servicer by the
Depositor.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at
any
time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trustee or trust administrator 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 Depositor,
one
complete set to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by
the
Depositor.
If
no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform
the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment
of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, pursuant
to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a
new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from
the Trust Administrator’s breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.
| SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator.
|
Any
successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor trustee or trust
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator
shall become effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee or trust administrator herein.
The predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver to the successor
trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder and the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee or trust administrator 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 or trust
administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or
trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall not
result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as
evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agencies.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of
such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates
at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails
to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee or trust administrator, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
| SECTION 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
|
Any
corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be
the
successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
| SECTION 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person
or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or
in
case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the 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 REMIC I or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

performance of any custody-related functions with respect to which the
applicable Custodian shall fail to take action on behalf of the Trustee or

Administrator, as the case may be, or, with respect to which the performance
of
custody-related functions pursuant to the terms of the custodial agreement
with
the applicable Custodian shall fail to satisfy all the related requirements
under this Agreement.

TERMINATION
| SECTION 9.01 |
Termination
Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this
Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the obligations
of
the Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
8.05
and of the Servicer to provide for and the Trust Administrator to make payments
in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Classes of Certificates
as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders
and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i)
the
purchase by the Terminator (on a servicing retained basis) of all Mortgage
Loans
and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment
or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that
in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of
St.
Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (b) the Latest Possible Maturity Date
(as
defined in the Preliminary Statement).
Subject
to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price equal to the greater
of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised
value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trust Administrator) and (ii)
the
fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined
by
the Servicer, with the consent of the Trust Administrator as of the close of
business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice
of
any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant
to
Section 9.01(c)), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at
the
weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period
preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (the “Termination
Price”);
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price
is
sufficient to result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as
amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued
pursuant to the Indenture.
(b) The
Servicer shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the
“Terminator”),
to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC
I
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the
Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date
on
which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator
may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund
at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance
of
a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts
in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to
pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice
of
the liquidation of any Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trust
Administrator by letter to the related Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans
and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates or
(b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which REMIC I will terminate and final payment of the Certificates
and
will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office
of the Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such
final
payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the Certificates
from
and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date
therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator. In the event
such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
not
later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month in which
such distribution will be made an amount in immediately available funds equal
to
the Termination Price. Upon certification to the Trust Administrator by a
Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator
shall promptly release or cause to be released to the related Terminator the
Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust Administrator
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments delivered
to
it which are necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon
receipt of notice by the Trust Administrator of the presentation of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders on the related final Distribution Date
to
the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds
not
distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trust
Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the
funds
in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the
assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice
any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts,
and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall
thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a result of such
Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately
following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of each of the
Certificates the Trust Fund shall terminate.
| SECTION 9.02 |
Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property, REMIC I shall be terminated, in each case in accordance with the

thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of
the
Servicer;

time of the making of the final payment on the related Certificates, the Trust
Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or

I
(other than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I shall terminate at that
time.
(b) At
the
expense of the Terminator (or in the event of termination under Section
9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Servicer), the Trust Administrator shall
prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with
the adoption of a plan of liquidation of REMIC I pursuant to this Section
9.02.
(c) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the

matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any
tax
matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination

for the Trust Fund.
(d) The
Trust
Administrator shall prepare and the Trustee at the direction of the Trust

the
Trust Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the assets
of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trust
Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this
Article.
(e) The
Trust
Administrator shall perform on behalf of any Trust REMIC all reporting and
other
tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMIC under the Code,
the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority including the filing of Form
8811
with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days following the Closing Date.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions
including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii)
to
the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number
of
the person who will serve as the representative of any Trust REMIC. The Servicer
shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator such information
with
respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the
Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trust
Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.
In
addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust
Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information

(f) The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates
shall take such action or cause the Trust REMIC to take such action as shall
be
necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer shall not
take
any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail
to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or
not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each Trust
REMIC
as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined
in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”)
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor
shall
any Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has advised it
in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that a Servicer
may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability
for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel.
In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the
respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which
is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, a Servicer consult with
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator or their designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action
or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such writing. The Trust Administrator and the Trustee may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event
shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. At
all
times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and
the Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will
consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the
extent such obligations are within the Trustee’s, Trust Administrator’s or
Servicer’s, as applicable, control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement.
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contributions to the REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged
(i)
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of
any
of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or
otherwise (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall
be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The
Trust
Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
not
accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection
with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section
2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the REMIC to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject
the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions
of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income from assets
other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
“permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.
| SECTION 10.02 |
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.

None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection

acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any Trust REMIC, (iii) the termination
of

Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or
the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC
after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion
of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense
of
the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition
or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
a
REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
| SECTION 10.03 |
Servicer,
Trustee and Trust Administrator
Indemnification.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Servicer

Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without

the Trustee and the Trust Administrator with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose
of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Cap
Provider or Holders of Certificates; 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 interests of the Cap Provider
or
Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion
of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee and Trust Administrator or (ii) written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from
the
Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which
it
is a Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as described in (i), without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required
by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name
of
the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall 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 result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Prior
to
executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided
by
the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 4.01(e),
Section 4.08 or Section 11.10 of this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Cap Provider.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish
a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of the Trustee and Trust Administrator may, but shall not
be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects
its
rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,

proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of

so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members

any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i) such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee and Trust Administrator a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii)
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall
have
made written request upon the Trustee and the Trust Administrator to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or Trust
Administrator hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, such indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, for 15 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, that no one or
more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as
can
be given either at law or in equity.

Article
and Section References.
|
All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise
provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
| SECTION 11.09 |
Grant
of Security Interest.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation
of
the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form
of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured
by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property,
and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
| SECTION 11.10 |
Third
Party Rights.
|
The
Cap
Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the
same
extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement.
| SECTION 11.11 |
Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
|
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21
and 4.07 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the
Commission
under
the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from
time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be
issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of
the
parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention
or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets,
opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation
AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for
delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such
information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor or the
Servicer may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions
of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required
to
effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to
accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB;
provided, however, that any such changes shall require the consent of each
of
the parties hereto.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used
herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business

or

the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding

Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,

Administrator shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s
prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement
as

to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates
without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor, the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer against any liability that
may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such
federal and state laws.

Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations

acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of

No

or
any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be made
except

Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.

Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such

the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,

following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.

hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant

shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate

recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the

the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest

The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless

Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

The

terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the

remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE
OR
ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING

STATES.
This

of
a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate
by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates
as
of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced
by
all the Class CE Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, Trust
Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions
of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
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. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the
Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless

Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled

IN

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP

OR
ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING

by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class R Certificates
as of
the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by
all

dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust
Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor
entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth
hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates
on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate

office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest
in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the face
hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.
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. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred
to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I and
REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income
of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined
in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial
means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding
the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicer or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I
and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net
income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as
defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other
losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the
financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating
to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in
the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall
not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicer or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

SERVICING
CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Trust
Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes
the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
- safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor (Trust Administrator performs
this function)
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “trust administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the trust administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

7.03. Representations
and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Company hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser that, as to each
Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date, or as of such date specifically provided
herein:
1. The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and
correct as of the related Cut-off Date;
2. As
of the
Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements
set forth
in the Term Sheet;
3. As
of the
related Closing Date, the Company has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited
or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of
the related Mortgaged Property, directly, for the payment of any amount
required
by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, and no Mortgage Loan has been delinquent
for
more than thirty (30) days in the prior twelve (12) months;
4. As
of the
related Closing Date, there are no delinquent taxes or insurance premiums
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
5. As
of the
related Closing Date, the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have
not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary
to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered
to the
Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification
has been
approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy,
and
is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration
or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released,
in whole
or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved
by the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
6. The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any valid right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any such valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including the defense of usury and no such valid right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
7. As
of the
related Closing Date, all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property
is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements
of the
Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and
all
premiums thereon are paid current. If upon origination of the Mortgage
Loan, the
Mortgaged Property was in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood
Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to
the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. Except as may otherwise be
limited
by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such
insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor;
8. Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure laws and/or all
predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and servicing
of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. Any and all disclosure statements
required to be made by the Mortgagor relating to such requirements are
and will
remain in the Mortgage File;
9. As
of the
related Closing Date, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property
has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor
has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;
10. The
Mortgage creates a valid first or second lien, as applicable, in the related
Mortgaged Property as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
11. The
related Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and
first
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated
by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule),
or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien (as
reflected
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case on the related Mortgaged
Property, including all improvements on the related Mortgaged Property
subject
only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due
and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements, mineral right reservations and other matters of the public record
as
of the date of recording of such Mortgage being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the related Mortgage Loan
and
which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged
Property, (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to
be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value (as determined
by Appraised Value) or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property
and (iv)
(d) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to be a
Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
a First
Lien on the Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage
or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected
(A)
first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage
Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected
on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security
interest
with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to
be a
Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule),
in
either case, on the property described therein, and the Company has the
full
right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
12. The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms;
13. All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person, at least one Mortgagor
is a
party to the Mortgage Note, and the Mortgage is in an individual
capacity;
14. Excluding
any Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow holdback, the proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and
there
is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder
and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement
and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied
with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and
the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not
currently
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant
to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
15. As
of the
related Closing Date and immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage
Loan
hereunder, the Company is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner
of the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell
the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest excepting therefrom warehouse
lending
arrangements security interests which will be released concurrent with
the
closing of the sale to the Purchaser;
16. As
of the
related Closing Date, all parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during
the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance
with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
17. The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy and, in the
case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, with an adjustable rate mortgage

or 6.1,
issued by a title insurer and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Servicer, its successors
and
assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
in
the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s
title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and
from the
Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged
Property
or any interest therein. The Originator and its successors and assigns
is the
sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Such lender’s title insurance policy does not require the consent of or
notification to the related insurer for assignment to the Purchaser.
18. As
of the
related Closing Date, no claims have been made under such lender’s title
insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the
Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage
of such lender’s title insurance policy;
19. As
of the
related Closing Date, there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration; and as of such Closing Date, the Company or the Servicer
has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a
Second
Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) as of the
origination date of such Second Lien Mortgage Loan (i) the First Lien is
in full
force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related mortgage
note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the First
Lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the First Lien mortgage. For
purposes of the foregoing, a delinquent payment of less than thirty (30)
days on
a Mortgage Loan in and of itself does not constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration with respect to such Mortgage
Loan.
20. As
of the
related Closing Date, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which
have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding

of the
related Mortgage;
21. All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of

the
possession of, or under the control with, the Servicer, and there exist
no

on
the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval
or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, for whom no conflict of interest is present
and who met the minimum qualifications of USPAP;
30. In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently

serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except

connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

or
obtained from the appropriate authorities;
35. The
Assignment of Mortgage, is in recordable form and (other than with respect
to
the blank assignee and the lack of mortgage recordation information) is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. When endorsed as provided for in this Agreement,
the Mortgage Notes will be duly endorsed under applicable law;
36. Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the related Cut-off Date
have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate
and single repayment term. So long as the Company is acting as Servicer,

39. No
statement, report or other document constituting a part of the Mortgage

not require income verification as defined in the Underwriting
Guidelines;
60. The

and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of

origination, such mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history
and debt-to income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered

originator. A borrower who is able to qualify for one of the originator’s
standard products should be directed towards or offered the originator’s
standard mortgage line.
67. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the methodology used in underwriting the
extension
of credit for each mortgage loan did not rely on the extent of the borrower’s
equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving
such
extension of credit. The methodology employed objective criteria that related
such facts as, without limitation, the borrower’s credit history, income, assets
or liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology,
the originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination
the borrower had the ability to make timely payments on the mortgage loan.
68. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan, no borrower was charged “point and fees” in an
amount greater than (a) $1000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such
mortgage
loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation, “points and
fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and
charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the mortgage loan,
whether they are paid to the lender or a third party; and (y) exclude bona
fide
discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with

and
extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost
of
mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title,
hazard,
and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow
deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other
miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent
of the
loan amount.
69. [Reserved].
70. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, no borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium
credit-life, credit disability, credit unemployment or credit property
insurance
policy in connection with the origination of the mortgage loan.
71. The
Seller or one of its affiliates as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, has
fully
furnished and will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting

and
Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors (the “Credit
Repositories”) on a monthly basis.
72. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, neither

submit
to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any
way to
the mortgage loan transaction.

promulgated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State in connection with
Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) unless either (1) (a) the related
Mortgage
Interest Rate (that would be effective once the introductory rate expires,
with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans) did or would not exceed by more
than
2.25% the yield on United States Treasury securities having comparable
periods
of maturity to the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan as of the fifteenth
day
of the month immediately preceding the month in which the application for
the
extension of credit was received by the related lender or (b) the Mortgage
Loan
is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used in the Massachusetts House Xxxx
4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage Note provides that the related Mortgage
Interest Rate may not exceed at any time the Prime rate index as published
in
The Wall Street Journal plus a margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage
Loan
is in the "borrower's interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest
worksheet" for the particular Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates
the
factors set forth in Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder for determining "borrower's interest," and otherwise
complies in all material respects with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
74. No
Mortgage Loan is secured by manufactured housing.
75. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is a Second Lien, (i) the related First
Lien
does not provide for negative amortization, (ii) either no consent for
the
Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the First Lien or such consent
has
been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File and (iii) such Second

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1,
2006
(the “Agreement”),
among
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
Ameriquest Mortgage Company as Servicer, (the “Servicer”),
Citibank, N.A. as trust administrator and U.S. Bank National Association,
as
trustee (the “Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
o The
present value
of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate,
as
applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax
rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used
by the
Transferee.
o The
transfer
of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
|
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross
assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a
person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets
in
excess of $10 million;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good
faith.
|
None
of the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I
of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.

behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this

2. The
Owner
is not transferring the Class R Certificates or Class R-X Certificates (the

tax.
3. The
Owner
has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the

4. The
Owner
understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee a transfer affidavit
and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as
Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation
contained therein is false.
5. At
the
time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations

(2) Evaluation
and Understanding.
(i)
BSFP
is acting for its own account and Citibank, N.A., is acting as Cap Trustee
under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and not for its own account. Each
Party has
made its own independent decisions to enter into this Transaction and as
to
whether this Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its
own
judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary.
It is
not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as

it
being understood that information and explanations related to the terms
and
conditions of this Transaction shall not be considered investment advice
or a

the
other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of this

its borrowings or investments, hedging its underlying assets or liabilities
or

9)
Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of
the ISDA
Form Master Agreement, if Counterparty has satisfied its payment obligations
under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, then unless BSFP
is
required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to Counterparty
or
otherwise returns to Counterparty upon demand of Counterparty any portion
of
such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a)
of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Counterparty shall not constitute
an
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to Counterparty
as
the Defaulting Party and (b) BSFP shall be entitled to designate an Early
Termination Event pursuant to Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement
only
as a result of a Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i)
or
Section 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BSFP
as the
Affected Party or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to BSFP as the Burdened Party. For purposes of the Transaction
to which
this Agreement relates, Counterparty’s only obligation under Section 2(a)(i) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement is to pay the Fixed Amount on the Fixed
Rate
Payer Payment Date. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
10)
Cap
Trustee Capacity. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties
hereto
that insofar as the Counterparty executing this Agreement is Citibank,
N.A.
(“Citibank”) as Cap Trustee (i) this Agreement is executed by Citibank not in
its individual capacity or personally but solely as Cap Trustee, as directed
by,
and in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon and vested
in it
under, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for the purpose of perfecting
the
interests and rights in this Agreement intended by the Depositor to be
conferred
upon the Cap Trustee for the benefit of Holders of the Citigroup Mortgage
Loan
Trust 2006-AMC1 Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2006-AMC1;
(ii)
each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on
the part
of the Counterparty is made and intended not as a personal representation,
undertaking or agreement by Citibank, but is made and intended for the
purposes
of binding only the cap trust established pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; (iii) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating
any
liability on the part of Citibank, individually or personally, to perform
any
covenant or agreement either expressed or implied herein, all such liability,
if
any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming
by,
through or under the parties hereto; and (iv) under no circumstances shall
Citibank in its individual capacity or personally be liable for the payment
of
any indebtedness or expenses or be personally liable for the breach or
failure
of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken
under
this Agreement or any other related document. In addition, it is expressly
understood by the parties hereto, that pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, Citibank, as Cap Trustee thereunder, will perform the duties
and
obligations and exercise the rights of the Counterparty set forth herein.
In
such capacity, Citibank will be subject to the same protections and provisions
set forth in this Agreement as are available to the Counterparty, including
this
paragraph 10.
11)
Proceedings. BSFP shall not institute against or cause any other person
to
institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, Citibank,
the Cap Trust or the trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state
bankruptcy, dissolution or similar law, for a period of one year and one
day
(or, if longer, the applicable preference period) following indefeasible
payment
in full of the Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-AMC1, Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AMC1 (the “Certificates”) and any notes
backed by the Certificates (the “Notes”). This provision shall survive the
expiration of this Agreement.
12)
Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other existing
or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it
may
have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition
payment or performance of any obligation between it and the other party
hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party under any
other
agreements. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section 6(e) of the
ISDA
Form Master Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this Transaction.
13)
Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events
shall
apply:
(a) If
a
Rating Agency Downgrade has occurred and BSFP has not complied with paragraph
15
below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect
to
BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional
Termination Event.
(b) If,
upon
the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event (as defined in paragraph 16(ii)
of this
Agreement), BSFP has not, within 10 days after such Cap Disclosure Event
complied with any of the provisions set forth in paragraph 16(iii) of this
Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect
to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such
Additional Termination Event.
(c) An
Additional Termination Event shall occur under the ISDA Form Master Agreement
upon unrescindable notice that the Terminator will purchase all Mortgage
Loans
and in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
With
respect to such Additional Termination Event, Counterparty shall be the
sole
Affected Party and this Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction;
provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the ISDA Form
Master
Agreement, only Counterparty may designate an Early Termination Date in
respect
of this Additional Termination Event.
14)
Amendment to the ISDA Form Master Agreement. The “Failure
to Pay or Deliver”
provision in Section 5(a)(i) is hereby amended by deleting the word “third” in
the third line thereof and inserting the word “second” in place thereof.
15)
Rating Agency Downgrade. In the event that BSFP’s long-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “AA-” by Standard and Poor’s Ratings
Services, Inc. (“S&P”) or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
rating is withdrawn or reduced below “Aa3” by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc.
(“Moody’s” and together with S&P and Dominion Bond Ratings Service (“DBRS”),
the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating
Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade
(unless, within 30 Days after such withdrawal or downgrade, each such Swap
Rating Agency, as applicable, has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates
and
any Notes, which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or
downgrade), BSFP shall, at its own expense, subject to the Rating Agency
Condition, (i) seek another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement
that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially
similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement
of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP’s
obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) take any other action that satisfies
the Rating Agency Condition. BSFP’s failure to do any of the foregoing shall
constitute an Additional Termination Event with BSFP as the Affected Party.
In
the event that BSFP’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is
withdrawn or reduced below “BBB-” by S&P, then within 10 Business Days after
such rating withdrawal or downgrade, BSFP shall, subject to the Rating
Agency
Condition and at its own expense, (i) secure another entity to replace
BSFP as
party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds
on
terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of,
or a
contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds,
to
honor, BSFP’s obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) take any other action
that satisfies the Rating Agency Condition. For purposes of this provision,
“Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to any particular proposed act or
omission to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must
consult
with each of the Swap Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the
Certificates and any Notes and receive from each of the Swap Rating Agencies
a
prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction would not
cause
a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of any Certificates
or any
Notes.
16)
Compliance with Regulation AB.
(i)
BSFP
agrees and acknowledges that Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (“Depositor”) is
required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
(“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain financial information regarding BSFP or
its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate
“significance percentage” of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115
of
Regulation AB.
(ii)
It
shall be a cap disclosure event (“Cap Disclosure Event”) if, on any Business Day
after the date hereof, Depositor requests from BSFP the applicable financial
information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (such request to be
based on
a reasonable determination by Depositor or Cap Trustee, in good faith,
that such
information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Cap Financial Disclosure”).
(iii)
Upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own expense,
shall
(a) provide to Depositor the Cap Financial Disclosure, (b) secure another
entity
to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar
to
this Agreement and subject to prior notification to the Rating Agencies,
which
entity (or a guarantor therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds
(and which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able
to
comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c) obtain
a
guaranty of the BSFP’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of the
BSFP that is able to comply with the financial information disclosure
requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided
in
respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable
to
BSFP, and cause such affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure. If
permitted
by Regulation AB, any required Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided
by
incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act.
(iv)
BSFP
agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial Disclosure to
Depositor in accordance with paragraph 16(iii)(a) or causes its affiliate
to
provide Cap Financial Disclosure to Depositor in accordance with paragraph
16(iii)(c), it will indemnify and hold harmless Depositor, its respective
directors or officers and any person controlling Depositor, from and against
any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Cap Financial
Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in such
Cap
Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading.
17)
Third
Party Beneficiary. Depositor, to the extent of its right expressly set
forth
herein, shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
18)
No
transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification

S&P,
DBRS and Xxxxx’x has been provided notice of the same and (ii) each of S&P,
DBRS and Xxxxx’x confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) that
it will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify its then-current
rating of any Certificates or Notes.

1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of September 1, 2006 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as Depositor, Ameriquest Mortgage Company,
as servicer, the Trust Administrator and U.S. Bank National Association as
trustee (the “Trustee”) relating to the Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-AMC1
(the “Trust”), Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AMC1 (the
“Certificates”), or in the related Indenture as the case may be, as in effect on
the date hereof.
2. Cap
Trust.
There
is hereby established a separate trust (the “Cap Trust”), into which the Cap
Trustee shall deposit the Cap Contract. The Cap Trust shall be maintained
by the
Cap Trustee and administered on its behalf by the Cap Administrator. The
sole
assets of the Cap Trust shall be the Cap Contract and the Cap Trust Account.
For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all
functions of the Cap Trustee hereunder shall be performed on its behalf by
the
Cap Administrator.
3. Cap
Trustee.
(a) The
Cap
Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed to receive all funds paid to the
Cap
Trustee by the Cap Provider under the Cap Contract (including any Cap
Termination Payment) and the Cap Trustee accepts such appointment and hereby
agrees to receive such amounts, deposit such amounts into the Cap Trust Account
and to distribute on each Distribution Date such amounts in the following
order
of priority:
(i) first,
for deposit into the Cap Account (established under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), an amount equal to the aggregate amount required for distribution
to
the holders of the Floating Rate Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(b)(i)
through 4.01(a)(b)(vi) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) second,
to CGMRC, as majority holder of the Class CE Certificates, or its designee,
any
amounts remaining after payment of (i) above, provided,
however,
upon the
issuance of notes by an issuer (the “Trust”), secured by all or a portion of the
Class CE Certificates and the Class P Certificates (the “NIM Notes”), CGMRC, as
majority holder of the Class CE Certificates, or its designee, hereby instructs
the Cap Trustee to make any payments under this clause 3(a)(ii):
(A) to
the
Indenture Trustee for the Trust, for deposit into the Note Account (each
as
defined in the related Indenture), for distribution in accordance with the
terms
of the Indenture until satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture;
and
(B) after
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, to the Holders of the Class
CE
Certificates, pro
rata
based on
the outstanding Notional Amount of each such Certificate.
(b) The
Cap
Trustee agrees to hold any amounts received from the Cap Provider in trust
upon
the terms and conditions and for the exclusive use and benefit of the Trust
Administrator (in turn for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the
Noteholders and CGMRC) as set forth herein. The rights, duties and liabilities
of the Cap Trustee in respect of this Agreement shall be as
follows:
(i) The
Cap
Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement that may be deemed advisable
in order to enforce the provisions hereof. The Cap Trustee shall not be
answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct
or
negligence. The Cap Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise
or enforce any of its rights or powers hereunder which, in the opinion of
the
Cap Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Cap Trustee,
unless the Cap Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it
in
its sole discretion to indemnify it against such liability and
expense.
(ii) The
Cap
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to
be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of any party hereto,
or otherwise as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Cap Trustee or
exercising any right or power conferred upon the Cap Trustee under this
Agreement.
(iii) The
Cap
Trustee may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents
or attorneys of the Cap Trustee. The Cap Trustee shall not be liable for
the
acts or omissions of its agents or attorneys so long as the Cap Trustee chose
such Persons with due care.
4. Cap
Trust Account.
The Cap
Trustee shall segregate and hold all funds received from the Cap Provider
(including any Cap Termination Payment) separate and apart from any of its
own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of
the Cap
Trustee one or more segregated accounts (the “Cap Trust Account”).
5. Replacement
Cap Contracts.
The
Cap
Trustee shall, at the direction of CGMRC, as majority holder of the Class
CE
Certificates, or its designee, enforce all of its rights and exercise any
remedies under the Cap Contract. In the event the Cap Contract is terminated
as
a result of the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination
Date
(as defined therein), CGMRC, as majority holder of the Class CE Certificates,
or
its designee, shall find a replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement
cap contract.
Any
Cap
Termination Payment received by the Cap Trustee from the Cap Provider shall
be
deposited into the Cap Trust Account and shall be used to make any upfront
payment required under a replacement cap contract and any upfront payment
received from the counterparty to a replacement cap contract shall be used
to
pay any Cap Termination Payment owed to the Cap Provider.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement cap contract cannot
be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Cap Trustee of the Cap
Termination Payment paid by the terminated Cap Provider, the Cap Trustee
shall
deposit such Cap Termination Payment into the Cap Trust Account and the Cap
Trustee shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from such account, an
amount
equal to the Cap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Cap Trust
by
the original Cap Provider (computed in accordance with Exhibit A) and distribute
such amount in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement. On the
Distribution Date immediately after the termination date of the original
Cap
Contract, the Cap Trustee shall withdraw any funds remaining in the Cap Account
and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii) of this
Agreement.
Upon
an
early termination of the Cap Contract, other than in connection with the
optional termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, the Cap Trustee will use reasonable efforts to appoint
a
successor cap contract provider. The Cap Trustee will apply any termination
payment received from the original Cap Provider in connection with such early
termination of the Cap Contract to the upfront payment required to appoint
the
successor cap contract provider. If the Cap Trustee is unable to appoint
a
successor cap contract provider within 30 days of the early termination of
the
Cap Contract, then the Cap Trustee will establish, and will deposit any
termination payment received from the original Cap Provider into, a separate,
non-interest bearing reserve account (a “Cap Termination Reserve Account”) and
will, on each subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then
remaining on deposit in the Cap Termination Reserve Account an amount equal
to
the payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Cap Trustee by the
original Cap Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the original
Cap Contract, and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 3(a)
hereof.
Upon
an
early termination of the Cap Contract in connection with the optional
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, if the Cap Trustee receives a termination payment from the Cap
Provider, such termination payment will be distributed in accordance with
Section 3(a) hereof.

Citibank represents and warrants as follows:

may
