ARTICLE
I
Definitions
Section 1.01 |
Definitions.
|
Whenever
used in this Agreement or in the Preliminary Statement, the following words
and
phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings
specified in this Article:
60+
Day Delinquent Loan:
As of
any day during any calendar month, each Mortgage Loan in foreclosure, all REO
Property, each Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgagor has filed for bankruptcy,
and each Mortgage Loan with respect to which any portion of a Scheduled Payment
is, as of the last day of the Remittance Period before the Remittance Period
ending in such calendar month, two months or more past due (without giving
effect to any grace period). For instance, in making a determination on the
Distribution Date in December (December 25) with respect to a Mortgage Loan
whose Scheduled Payment for October is delinquent (and that has no previous
Scheduled Payment that is delinquent), that Mortgage Loan would not be a 60+
Day
Delinquent Loan because as of the last day of the Remittance Period before
the
Remittance Period ending in December (which would be the Remittance Period
ending in November (on November 1)), the Scheduled Payment for October (due
October 1) would only be one month past due.
Accrued
Certificate Interest Distribution Amount:
For any
Distribution Date and a Class of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class
R,
Class R-X and Class C Certificates), the amount of interest accrued during
the
related Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Pass-Through Rate for such
Class on the related Class Certificate Balance immediately before the

to
the related Subsequent Transfer Date and shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as [Exhibit P].

due
during the related Remittance Period and not received as of the close of

Date. Uncertificated Interest in respect of any REMIC Regular Interest shall
accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Uncertificated Interest with respect to each Distribution Date, as to any REMIC
Regular Interest, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (a) the

For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Interest for the REMIC
I
Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.15) and Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect
of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, (a)
with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1,
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTP and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF, in each
case to the extent of one month’s interest at the then applicable respective
REMIC I Remittance Rate on the respective Uncertificated Balance of each such
REMIC I Regular Interest; provided, however, that with respect to the first
Distribution Date, such amounts relating to the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTP, and such amounts relating to the Subsequent Group I Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF, and (b) with
respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and

amounts relating to the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and such amounts relating to the Subsequent
Group
II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LT2PF.
For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Interest for the REMIC
II
Group I Regular Interests for any Distribution Date the aggregate amount of
any
Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls
incurred in respect of Loan Group I shall be allocated first, to REMIC II
Regular Interest I, REMIC II Regular Interest P and to the REMIC II Group I
Regular Interests ending with the designation “B”, pro
rata
based
on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective
REMIC II Remittance Rates on the respective Uncertificated Balances of each
such
REMIC II Regular Interest , and then, to REMIC II Group I Regular Interests
ending with the designation “A”, pro rata based on, and to the extent of, one
month’s interest at the then applicable respective REMIC II Remittance Rates on
the respective Uncertificated Balances of each such REMIC II Regular Interest.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Interest for the REMIC
II Group II Regular Interests for any Distribution Date the aggregate amount
of

incurred in respect of Loan Group II shall be allocated first, REMIC II Regular
Interest II and to the REMIC II Group II Regular Interests ending with the
designation “B”, pro
rata
based
on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective
REMIC II Remittance Rates on the respective Uncertificated Balances of each

Interest LTXX, pro
rata,

Section 1.02 |
Rules
of Construction.
|
Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or unless the context clearly
requires otherwise:
(a)
References
to designated articles, sections, subsections, exhibits, and other subdivisions
of this Agreement, such as “Section 6.12 (a),” refer to the designated article,
section, subsection, exhibit, or other subdivision of this Agreement as a whole
and to all subdivisions of the designated article, section, subsection, exhibit,
or other subdivision. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereunder,” and
other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any
particular article, section, exhibit, or other subdivision of this
Agreement.
(b)
Any
term
that relates to a document or a statute, rule, or regulation includes any
amendments, modifications, supplements, or any other changes that may have
occurred since the document, statute, rule, or regulation came into being,
including changes that occur after the date of this Agreement.
(c)
Any
party
may execute any of the requirements under this Agreement either directly or
through others, and the right to cause something to be done rather than doing
it
directly shall be implicit in every requirement under this Agreement. Unless
a
provision is restricted as to time or limited as to frequency, all provisions
under this Agreement are implicitly available and things may happen from time
to
time.
(d)
The
term
“including” and all its variations mean “including but not limited to.” Except
when used in conjunction with the word “either,” the word “or” is always used
inclusively (for example, the phrase “A or B” means “A or B or both,” not
“either A or B but not both”).
(e)
A
reference to “a [thing]” or “any [of a thing]” does not imply the existence or
occurrence of the thing referred to even though not followed by “if any,” and
“any [of a thing]” is any of it. A reference to the plural of anything as to
which there could be either one or more than one does not imply the existence
of
more than one (for instance, the phrase “the obligors on a note” means “the
obligor or obligors on a note”). “Until [something occurs]” does not imply that
it must occur, and will not be modified by the word “unless.” The word “due” and
the word “payable” are each used in the sense that the stated time for payment
has passed. The word “accrued” is used in its accounting sense, i.e., an amount
paid is no longer accrued. In the calculation of amounts of things, differences
and sums may generally result in negative numbers, but when the calculation
of
the excess of one thing over another results in zero or a negative number,
the
calculation is disregarded and an “excess” does not exist. Portions of things
may be expressed as fractions or percentages interchangeably.
(f)
All
accounting terms used in an accounting context and not otherwise defined, and
accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement, to the extent not completely
defined, shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. To the extent that the definitions of accounting terms in this
Agreement are inconsistent with their meanings under generally accepted
accounting principles, the definitions contained in this Agreement shall
control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition that are
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code are used in this Agreement as defined
in
the Uniform Commercial Code.
(g)
In
the
computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified
date
or an open-ended period, the words “from” and “beginning” mean “from and
including,” the word “after” means “from but excluding,” the words “to” and
“until” mean “to but excluding,” and the word “through” means “to and
including.” Likewise, in setting deadlines or other periods, “by” means “on or
before.” The words “preceding,” “following,” and words of similar import, mean
immediately preceding or following. References to a month or a year refer to
calendar months and calendar years.
(h)
Any
reference to the enforceability of any agreement against a party means that
it
is enforceable, subject as to enforcement against the party, to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles.

and Warranties
Section 2.01 |
Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
(a)
The
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby
transfers to the Depositor, without recourse, all the interest of the Seller
in
each Mortgage Loan, including all interest and principal due to the Seller
on
each Mortgage Loan after the applicable Cut-off Date and all interest and
principal payments on each Mortgage Loan received by the applicable Cut-off
Date
for installments of interest and principal due after the applicable Cut-off
Date
but not including payments of principal and interest due on each Mortgage Loan
by the applicable Cut-off Date. By the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver
to
the Depositor or, at the Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee
of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (except that, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are
Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loans, such delivery may take place within five (5)
Business Days of the Closing Date) as of the Closing Date. The delivery of
the
Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor of the purchase
price, previously agreed to by the Seller and Depositor, for the Mortgage Loans.
(b)
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby transfers to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all the interest of the Depositor in the Trust Fund, together
with the Depositor’s right to require the Seller to cure any breach of a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Seller or to repurchase
or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to execute
the Swap Agreement.
(c)
In
connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor
has delivered (or, in the case of the Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loans, will
deliver within the time periods specified in the definition of Delayed Delivery
Mortgage Loans) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so
assigned:
(i) The
original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in blank
in
the following form: “Pay to the order of _______________ ______________without
recourse,” with all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
endorsement from the originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so endorsing,
as noteholder or assignee thereof, in that Mortgage Note) or a lost note
affidavit for any Lost Mortgage Note from the Seller stating that the original
Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of the Mortgage
Note.
(ii) Except
as
provided below, for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the
original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by the Seller
as
being a true and complete copy of the Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage
for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, a true copy of the Mortgage certified as such by an applicable
notary) and in the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage,
noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans and either language
indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the original
Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording
office in which such Mortgage has been recorded.
(iii) In
the
case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed
assignment of the Mortgage (which may be included in a blanket assignment or
assignments), together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded
assignments of such mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly
completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment
of
and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment
relates); provided, that if the related Mortgage has not been returned from
the
applicable public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude
the information to be provided by the recording office; provided, further,
that
such assignment of Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage
for
which the related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico.
(iv) The
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance, or
substitution agreement.
(v) Except
as
provided below, the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy and all
its riders.
In
addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the
Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s expense, the MERS® System to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Depositor have been
assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such
computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to,
and
the Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information referenced in this
paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller to the Depositor
during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
In
the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan
the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim
recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders
thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above,
respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such
document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public
recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the
title
policy has not been delivered to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the
applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall
promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above,
such
original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence
of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording
office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and
each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate,
by
the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing
Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following
the
Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event the Depositor is unable
to
deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason
of
the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because
the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office,
the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date.
The
Depositor shall forward to the Trustee (a) from time to time additional original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b)
any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer
to
the Trustee. If
the
original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full
of
the related Mortgage Loan the public recording office requires the presentation
of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document,
because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of
satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer shall execute and deliver the
required document to the public recording office. If
a
public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or if a Mortgage
is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Seller shall deliver
to the Trustee a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording office
to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As
promptly as practicable after any transfer of a Mortgage Loan under this
Agreement, and in any event within thirty days after the transfer, the Trustee
shall (i) affix the Trustee’s name to each assignment of Mortgage, as its
assignee, and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public
office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the
Trustee, except that, if the Trustee has not received the information required
to deliver any assignment of a Mortgage for recording, the Trustee shall deliver
it as soon as practicable after receipt of the needed information and in any
event within thirty days.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of
servicing and to reduce closing costs, the assignments of Mortgage shall not
be
required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal
or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that each assignment of Mortgage shall be
submitted for recording by the Seller (at the direction of the Servicer) in
the
manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon
the
earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights or by the NIM Insurer, if any,
(ii) [reserved],
(iii)
the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the
Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section
7.02
hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Servicer and with respect to any one
assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is unable to pay the cost of
recording the assignments of Mortgage, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee
and shall be reimbursable out of the Distribution Account.
If
any
Mortgage Loans have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor,
in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, will deposit in the
Certificate Account the portion of the prepayment that is required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within five (5) Business Days after
the Closing Date, the Seller shall either:
(i) deliver
to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01
for
each Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan; or
(ii) (A) repurchase
the Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute the Delayed Delivery
Mortgage Loan for a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which repurchase or substitution
shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions in Section
2.03.
The
Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, send a Delayed Delivery
Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 (with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon) for all Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered
within 30 days of receipt of the related Mortgage Files. The
Trustee will promptly send a copy of such Delayed Delivery Certification to
each
Rating Agency. If the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delayed
Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period specified herein, the Seller shall
use
its best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase
of, any Deleted Mortgage Loan. The cure period provided for in Section 2.02
or
in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File
for
such Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five
(5)
Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such period, the
Trustee shall send a Delayed Delivery Certification for the Delayed Delivery
Mortgage Loans delivered during such period in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 2.02.
The

sale for all tax, accounting, and regulatory purposes.
It
is

Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “High-Cost Home Loan”
(or
any
other similarly designated loan)
as
defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, The

Acceptance
by the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1 and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans, and that it holds or will hold such
other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the related Mortgage
Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor,
the
Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification in the form of Exhibit
G-1. Based
on
its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in the
Initial Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that the documents appear
regular on their face and relate to the Mortgage Loans. The
Trustee shall be under no duty to inspect, review, or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates, or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
By
the
thirtieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a Business Day,
the
succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Seller a Delayed Delivery Certification with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
Not
later
than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification in the form of
Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the course of its review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee
shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification. The Trustee shall
not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient
to
transfer all interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form
or
is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The
Seller shall promptly correct any such defect within ninety (90) days from
the
date it was so notified of the defect and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
for
which such defect is materially adverse to the Certificateholders, if the Seller
does not correct such defect within that period, the Seller shall either (a)
substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished pursuant to Section 2.03, or (b) purchase
the
Mortgage Loan at its Purchase Price from the Trustee within ninety (90) days
from the date the Seller was notified of the defect in writing.
If
a
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
required because of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, or there is a dispute between either the Servicer or the
Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document,
then the substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing
Date. In
no
other case may a substitution
or
purchase
occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date.
The
Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days
from
the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) that has not been returned
by
the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to
location or status of the Mortgage Loan. The
notice shall be delivered every ninety (90) days thereafter until the related
Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any
substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall
not
be effected before the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, if
required by Section 2.05, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall
not
be effected before the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for the month.
The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the
Certificate Account by the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of the deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit N, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller
and
shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request any instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, necessary
to
vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto.
If
pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute
and
deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as
the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
The
Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions herein. The
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting
the
Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to
time.
The
obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan
that
does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting the defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor, and any
Certificateholder against the Seller.
Section 2.03 |
Representations,
Warranties, and Covenants of the
|
Seller
and the Servicer.
(a)
IndyMac,
in its capacities as Seller and Servicer, hereby makes the representations
and
warranties in Schedule II, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as of the
Closing Date. The Servicer will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its credit files for the
related Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union
Credit Information Company on a monthly basis.
(b)
The
Seller, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations and
warranties in Schedule III, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date.
(c)
Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties
and to the NIM Insurer. A breach of the representation or warranty made pursuant
to clauses (29), (30), (34), (35), (36), (37), (38) and (39) of Schedule III
or
a breach of the covenant of the Servicer made pursuant to clause (a) above
will
be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan. The Seller hereby covenants
that within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt
of
written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty
made
pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in
all
material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall: (i) if the 90
day
period expires before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove the
Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted
Mortgage Loan”)
from
the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in
accordance with this Section 2.03; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan
or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner stated
below. Any substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected before
the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel, if required by Section 2.05,
and a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N, and the
Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly
reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred
by
the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for the
breach.
With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver
to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and any other documents and
agreements required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the
Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for the month. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Remittance Period
of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by
the
Seller on the next Distribution Date. For
the
Remittance Period of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will
include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the Remittance
Period and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and
the
substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Servicer shall deliver
the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
the
substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to this Agreement
in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to
the
Substitute Mortgage Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations
and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to the Mortgage
Loan. Upon
any
substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required
to be deposited therein in connection with the substitution as described in
the
following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan to
the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the
Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount
by
which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans
as
of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of all the Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments due in the Remittance Period of substitution
and
any adjustments due to any costs or damages incurred by the Trust Fund in
connection with any violation of the Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive
lending law). The
amount of the shortage (the “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”)
plus,
if the
Seller is not the Servicer, the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loans, shall be
deposited into the Certificate Account by the Seller by the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or
replaced hereunder.
If
the
Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06 by the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to
repurchase or replace the Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase
Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 and
receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N, the Trustee shall
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s
direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person,
in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the
Trustee. The
obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase, or replace
any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against the Person respecting the breach available
to
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee on their behalf.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive
delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 |
Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as
to
|
the
Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof
or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following
the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good
title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets,
defenses, or counterclaims.
The
Depositor hereby transfers to the Trustee all of its rights with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans, including the representations and warranties of the Seller
made
pursuant to Section 2.03(b), together with all rights of the Depositor to
require the Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute
for
any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
The
representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery
of
the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee of any breach of any of the representations and warranties in this
Section that materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others, the NIM Insurer, and to each Rating Agency. If the NIM
Insurer discovers such a breach, it may notify the parties to this Agreement
and
each Rating Agency.
Section 2.05 |
Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection
with
|
Substitutions
and Repurchases.
(a)
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section
2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.05 shall be made more than ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution
will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on
the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC
created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any
Certificates are outstanding. A substitution pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.02,
2.03 or 2.05 that is made within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall
not require the Seller to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel.
(b)
Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer 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 promptly
(and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written
notice thereof to the other parties and the NIM Insurer. If the NIM Insurer
discovers such facts, it may notify the parties to this Agreement. In
connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller’s
option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with
respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within
ninety (90) days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage
Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section
2.03. The
Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant
hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section
2.03.
Section 2.06 |
Execution
and Delivery of
Certificates.
|
The
Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
concurrently with the transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to
or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust
Fund. The
Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above
for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Certificates.

representations and warranties with respect to each such Subsequent Mortgage
Loan determined as of the applicable Subsequent Cut-off Date: (i) such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan may not be 30 or more days delinquent as of the

aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans in Loan Group I as of the
related cut-off date applicable to each mortgage loan. For purposes of the

Loans in Loan Group I as of the cut-off date and the principal balance of the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans included in Loan Group I as of the related Subsequent
Cut-off Date.
Following

Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II as of the cut-off date and the principal balance
of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II as of the related Subsequent
Cut-off Date.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Subsequent Mortgage Loan may be rejected by any Rating Agency
if the inclusion of any such Subsequent Mortgage Loan would adversely affect

the
Subsequent Transfer Date, each Rating Agency shall notify the Trustee as to
which Subsequent Mortgage Loans, if any, shall not be included in the transfer
on the Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have

ARTICLE
III
Administration
and Servicing of
Mortgage Loans
Section 3.01 |
Servicer
to Service Mortgage Loans.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing
Standard.
The
Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver, or amendment of
any
term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as
a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section
860G(d) of the Code.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or
in
the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered
by
the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in
its
reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders, or any of them, any instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor
or
the Trustee any documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both
of
them appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver
such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of the
documents, the Depositor or the Trustee shall execute the documents and deliver
them to the Servicer.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name, when the Servicer believes
it 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.
In
accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall
advance funds necessary to effect the payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance
from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and
further as provided in Section 3.09. The costs incurred by the Servicer in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 |
Reserved.
|
Section 3.03 |
[Reserved].
|
Section 3.04 |
The
Pool Policy
|
The
Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis with the Pool Insurer, all
claims which may be made under the Pool Policy with respect to the covered
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer
to
take all actions required under the Pool Policy as a condition to the payment
of
any such claim. The Trustee agrees to hold the Pool Policy.
Section 3.05 |
Trustee
to Act as Servicer.
|
If
the
Servicer for any reason is no longer the Servicer hereunder (including because
of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume
all
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter,
except that the Trustee shall not be:
(i) liable
for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions
of
the predecessor Servicer hereunder,
(ii) obligated
to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable
law,
(iii) obligated
to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder,
including repurchases or substitutions pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.02, 2.03
or
2.05,
(iv) responsible
for expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03, or
(v) deemed
to
have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer hereunder. Any
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02.
Notwithstanding
anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee
be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the
servicing fee paid under this Agreement and the amount necessary to induce
any
successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions provided for in this Agreement.
Section 3.06 |
Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments;
Servicing
|
Accounts;
Collection Account; Certificate Account; Distribution
Account; Excess Reserve Fund Account.
(a)
In
accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards
of
practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under
the Mortgage Loans to the extent the procedures are consistent with this
Agreement and any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge
or, subject to Section 3.20, any Prepayment Charge or penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) modify any delinquent
or
defaulted Mortgage Loan (including modifications that change the Mortgage Rate,
forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date
of that Mortgage Loan); provided, that such modification is consistent with
the
Servicing Standard and if in the Servicer’s determination such modification is
not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated loss that might result absent such action) and is expected
to minimize the loss of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not initiate new lending to such Mortgagor through the Trust, and (iii)
extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not
greater than 125 days. However, the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of
any
Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest
maturing Mortgage Loan in the applicable Loan Group as of the Cut-off Date.
In
the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the
related Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.01 during the scheduled
period in accordance with the amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof because of the arrangements. In addition, the NIM Insurer’s
prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver, or
amendment if the amendment of the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage
Loans
that have been modified, waived, and amended exceeds 5% of the aggregate number
of Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note, or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority
with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which the payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law. The Servicer shall not sell any
delinquent or defaulted Mortgage Loan.
(b)
The
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Servicing Accounts into which
the Servicer shall deposit on a daily basis within one (1) Business Day of
receipt, the following payments and collections received by it in respect of
Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and
interest due on the Mortgage Loans by the Cut-off Date):
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal
Prepayments;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans; and
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries, other than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures.
By
the
Determination Date in each calendar month, the Servicer shall (a) withdraw
from
the Servicing Account all amounts on deposit therein pursuant to clauses (i)
and
(ii) above (other than amounts attributable to a Principal Prepayment in Full)
and (b) deposit such amounts in the Collection Account. By the Business Day
in
each calendar month following the deposit in the Servicing Account of amounts
on
deposit therein pursuant to clause (iii) above or pursuant to any Principal
Prepayment in Full, the Servicer shall (a) withdraw such amounts from the
Servicing Account and (b) deposit such amounts in the Collection
Account.
(c)
The
Servicer shall establish and maintain a segregated Collection Account into
which
the Servicer shall deposit, as and when required by paragraph (b) of this
Section 3.06, all amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account
pursuant to that paragraph.
(d)
The
Servicer shall establish and maintain a segregated Certificate Account into
which the Servicer shall deposit on a daily basis (i) within one (1) Business
Day of deposit in the Collection Account (in the case of items (i) through
(iii)
below) and (2) within one (1) Business Day of receipt (in the case of all other
items), except as otherwise specified herein, the following payments and
collections received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans
by
the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal
Prepayments;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related
Servicing Fee;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds, other than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures;
(iv) [reserved];
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.12
and
3.14;
(vi) all
Purchase Prices received from the Servicer or Seller and all Substitution
Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all
Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(viii) any
other
amounts required to be deposited hereunder; and
(ix) all
Prepayment Charges collected.
In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for the Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the related Mortgagor, the Servicer shall cause funds to
be
deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount
of interest to be paid with respect to the Mortgage Loan equal to the amount
of
interest that has accrued on the Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date
at
the Mortgage Rate net of the Servicing Fee on that date.
The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be exclusive.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of
late
payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the
Servicer. If the Servicer remits any amount not required to be remitted, it
may
at any time withdraw that amount from the Certificate Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The withdrawal or direction may be
accomplished by delivering written notice of it to the Trustee or any other
institution maintaining the Certificate Account that describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section
3.06. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust
for
the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.09.
The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf
of the Class C Certificateholder, to secure its limited recourse obligation
to
pay to the other Certificateholders Net WAC Cap Carry Forward
Amounts.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit the amount of any Net WAC Cap
Carry
Forward Amount for that date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
The
Trustee shall invest amounts held in the Excess Reserve Fund Account only in
Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day
preceding the next Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment
is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the next Distribution Date)
and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of before its maturity. The
Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing with respect to investment of
amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
On
each
Distribution Date on which a Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amount exists for any
Class of Certificates, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account amounts necessary to pay to the Class of Certificates the Net WAC Cap
Carry Forward Amount. Such payments shall be allocated to those Classes as
provided in Section 4.02(IV). Any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts paid by
the
Trustee to the Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Trustee as
amounts distributed by REMIC IV to the Holder of the Class C Interest and by
REMIC V to the Class C Certificateholder (and from the Class C Certificateholder
to the Excess Reserve Fund Account), for all federal income tax purposes. In
addition, the Trustee shall account for the Certificateholders’ rights to
receive payments of Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts as rights in a limited
recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class C Certificateholder
in
favor of the other Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an outside reserve
fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and not
an
asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. It is the intention
of
the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local
franchise tax purposes, the Excess Reserve Fund Account be disregarded as an
entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until
the
date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or (b)
any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized
as an equity interest in the Excess Reserve Fund 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 Excess
Reserve Fund Account be treated as a partnership. The Trustee shall treat
amounts deposited into the Excess Reserve Fund Account as amounts distributed
by
REMIC IV to the Holder of the Class C Interest and by REMIC V to the Class
C
Certificateholder (and from the Class C Certificateholder to the Excess Reserve
Fund Account), for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, each Class
of
Certificates, other than the Class C Certificate, the Class P Certificate,
the
Class R Certificate and the Class R-X Certificate, will comprise two components
- a REMIC Regular Interest and an interest in a cap contract. The Trustee shall
allocate the issue price for a Class of Certificates between two components
for
purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular Interest component.
The Excess Reserve Fund Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any
REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A and Subordinate
Certificates of Net WAC Cap Carry Forward 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 C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the
Excess Reserve Fund Account the amounts described above on each Distribution
Date as to which there is any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amount rather than
distributing such amount to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a
Class
C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such direction
is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates to receive payments from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward
Amounts may have more than a de
minimis
value.
Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required
to
make any payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly
stated in this Section 3.06(d).
(e)
[Reserved].
(f)
The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of
the
Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and
retain therein the following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.09(a);
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(g) in connection
with
any losses on Permitted Investments;
(iii) received
with respect to the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01;
and
(iv) any
other
amounts deposited hereunder that are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
If
the
Servicer remits any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time
direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw that amount from the Distribution
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The direction
may
be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee that
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds
deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust
for
the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.09. In no event shall the Trustee incur
liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of
the
Servicer.
(g)
Each
institution at which the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account is
maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Servicer
in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the second Business
Day preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if
the
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains the
account, then the Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business
Day preceding the Distribution Account Deposit Date) and shall not be sold
or
disposed of before its maturity. All Permitted Investments shall be made in
the
name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income
realized from any investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account
and
the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing
compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount
of any realized losses on Permitted Investments in the Certificate Account
or
Distribution Account shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the
Certificate Account or the Distribution Account, respectively. The Trustee
shall
not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.06.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if amounts remitted by the Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09(a) for deposit in the Distribution Account
and
investment directions therefor are not received by the Trustee before 12:00
p.m.
(pacific time) on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, amounts on deposit
in
the Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.
(h)
[Reserved].
(i)
The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency, and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account,
the
Collection Account, the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Distribution Account
not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days before any change
thereof.
Section 3.07 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments, and Similar
Items
|
Escrow
Accounts.
(a)
To
the
extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law,
the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an
“Escrow
Account”)
and
deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or Servicing
advances) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums
or
comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require
the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation
of applicable law.
(b)
Withdrawals
of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium
or
PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse (without duplication)
the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Sections 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums)
and
3.10 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums
determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account
or to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement
in
accordance with Section 9.01. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the
Trust Fund.
(c)
The
Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.07(a) that are
not
timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost
for which such payment is intended is due, but the Servicer shall be required
so
to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment
of
the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise.
Section 3.08 |
Access
to Certain Documentation and
Information
|
Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the NIM Insurer, the Trustee and the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee reasonable access to all records and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance
information, and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.
Upon
reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to each
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that is a savings and loan association,
bank, or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information
and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit the
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable regulations
of
the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the
Certificates. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the
Servicer in providing the reports and access.
Section 3.09 |
Permitted
Withdrawals from the Certificate Account,
the
|
Distribution
Account and the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
(a)
The
Servicer may (and, in the case of clause (ix) below, shall) from time to time
make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to
pay to
the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained) the servicing compensation
to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.15, and to pay to the Servicer,
as
additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect
to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;
(ii) to
reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of
reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received
on the Mortgage Loans in respect of which the Advance was made;
(iii) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously
made;
(iv) to
reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related Insurance
Proceeds;
(v) to
reimburse the Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, such right
of
reimbursement pursuant to this sub-clause (a) made by it being limited to
amounts received on the Mortgage Loans in respect of which the Servicing Advance
was made that represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances
were made pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.07 or Section 3.10 and (b) for
unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.12;
(vi) to
pay to
the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in
respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.02, 2.03
or
2.05, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vii) to
reimburse the Seller, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer, or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section

be
deposited therein;
(ix) by

Amount for the Distribution Date, to the extent on deposit, and (2) the
Prepayment Charges on deposit, and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account; and
(x) to
clear
and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, to justify any withdrawal from the Certificate Account
pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi). Before making any
withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing
Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer
to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans and
their respective portions of the Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b)
The
Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for distributions
to
Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold
from the amounts so withdrawn the amount of any taxes that it is authorized
to
withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the
Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account
for
the following purposes:
(i) to
pay to
itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution Date;
(ii) to
pay to
the Servicer as additional servicing compensation earnings on or investment
income with respect to funds in the Distribution Account;
(iii) to
withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(v) to
make
distributions to the Supplemental Interest Trust, in accordance with Section
4.05.
(c)
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account for deposit in the Distribution Account of the amount required
pursuant to Section 3.06(d). Each institution at which the Excess Reserve Fund
Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing
by
the Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the
second Business Day preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date
(except that if the Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains the account, then the Permitted Investment shall mature not
later
than the Business Day preceding the Distribution Account Deposit Date) and
shall
not be sold or disposed of before its maturity. All Permitted Investments shall
be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
All income realized from any investment of funds on deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing
compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount
of any realized losses on Permitted Investments in the Excess Reserve Fund
Account shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Excess Reserve Fund
Account. On the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.01 and (ii) the Distribution Date on which all of the Certificates
(other than the Class C Certificates) are reduced to zero, any amount remaining
on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account after giving effect to the
requirements of this section shall be withdrawn by the Trustee and paid to
the
Class C Certificateholders.
Section 3.10 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance
of
|
Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a)
The
Servicer shall maintain, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended
coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser
of:
(i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the Mortgage Loan;
and
(ii) the
greater
of
(y) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and
(z) an
amount such that the proceeds of the policy are sufficient to prevent the
related Mortgagor or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer.
Each
policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying
endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected
under the policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration
or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor
in
accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred in maintaining any insurance
shall
not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added
to
the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the Mortgage
Loan so permits. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out of late
payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.09. No earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be
required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of
a
Mortgage other than pursuant to any applicable laws and regulations in force
that require additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at
the
time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special
flood
hazard area and the area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Servicer shall maintain flood insurance for the Mortgage Loan.
The
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least
of
(i) the
original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement
value of the improvements that are part of the Mortgaged Property and
(iii)
the maximum amount of flood insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program.
If
the
Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses
on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall have satisfied its obligations in the
first sentence of this Section 3.10. The policy may contain a deductible clause
on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained
by comparable servicers. If the policy contains a deductible clause and a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.10 has not been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property, and if a loss that would have been covered
by
the required policy occurs, the Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate
Account, without any right of reimbursement, the amount not otherwise payable
under the blanket policy because of the deductible clause. In connection with
its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to
present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders and the NIM Insurer, claims under any blanket
policy.
(b)
The
Servicer shall not take any action that would result in non-coverage under
any
applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss that, but for the actions of
the
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall not cancel
or
refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date
of
the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for the canceled
or
non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer need
not
maintain any Primary Insurance Policy if maintaining the Primary Insurance
Policy is prohibited by applicable law. The Servicer agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to effect the timely payment of the premiums on
each Primary Insurance Policy, and any costs not otherwise recoverable shall
be
recoverable by the Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds. The Servicer
shall maintain for as long as each relevant Mortgage Loan is outstanding the
mortgage insurance associated with the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule as having lender acquired mortgage insurance, and as to any other
Mortgage Loans the Servicer need not maintain any Primary Insurance Policy
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal
to
80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new Appraised
Value.
In
connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the NIM Insurer, and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take any reasonable action in accordance with the
Servicing Standard necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account or the Collection Account (as applicable).
Section 3.11 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
(a)
Except
as
otherwise provided in this Section 3.11, when any property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it
has
knowledge of the conveyance and in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
to
the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but
only
to the extent that enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
is not required to exercise these rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
the
Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed
to be conveyed satisfies the conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage as a condition to the transfer.
If
(i)
the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any due-on-sale clause, (ii)
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, (iii)
the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale clause or (iv) nonenforcement
is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section
3.11(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from
or
with the person to whom the property has been or is about to be conveyed,
pursuant to which the person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless
prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The
Mortgage Loan must continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer
enters into the agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance
Policies.
The
Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized with the prior approval
of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with the Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and the Person is substituted
as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section
3.11 because of any transfer or assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes
it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b)
Subject
to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent provided
in Section 3.11(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
to a Person by a Mortgagor, and the Person is to enter into an assumption
agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of
release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability
on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee
for
signature and shall direct the Trustee, in writing, to execute the assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed,
and
the modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
other instruments appropriate to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to the Person. In connection with
any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be
changed.
In
addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable
to the Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each substitution, assumption, or other agreement or instrument
delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an
Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any substitution or assumption agreement
has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of the substitution
or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to
the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
the
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. The Servicer will retain any fee collected by
it
for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement as
additional servicing compensation.
Section 3.12 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a)
The
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard
to foreclose on or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged
Properties in respect of which the related Mortgage Loans have come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for
collection of delinquent payments. In connection with the foreclosure or other
conversion, the Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standard and shall follow
the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance
Policy.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property
unless it determines (i) that the restoration or foreclosure will increase
the
proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself
of
restoration expenses and (ii) that restoration expenses will be recoverable
to
it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Servicer shall be
responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure
proceedings. The Servicer is entitled to reimbursement thereof from the
liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided
in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Servicer has knowledge that
a
Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure
or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within one mile of any site listed
in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984
or
other site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer,
the Servicer will, before acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider the risks
and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review
procedures. The Servicer shall not foreclose any Mortgaged Property or accept
a
deed in lieu of foreclosure for any Mortgaged Property without the consent
of
the NIM Insurer if the Servicer has actual knowledge or notice that the
Mortgaged Property contains material hazardous wastes or substances subject
to
the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984.
With
respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name shall be placed
on the title to the REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in
its
individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to the REO
Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell the REO Property, the Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve the
REO
Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard as the Servicer deems to
be
in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period before the sale
of
the REO Property.
The
Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections
1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the
tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt
of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by Section 6050P of
the
Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, the preparation of any required tax and information returns, in the
form required, and filed the same.
If
the
Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in
connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the REO
Property shall only be held temporarily, shall be actively marketed for sale,
and the Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable,
and in any case before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar
year in which the Trust Fund acquires the property. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for
the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund.
The
decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be
subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of the foreclosure
would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing a foreclosure proceeding. The
proceeds received from the maintenance of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property
or
other taxes) in connection with maintenance of the REO Properties and net of
unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied
to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage
Loans (with interest accruing as though the Mortgage Loans were still current
and adjustments, if applicable, to the Mortgage Rate were being made in
accordance with the Mortgage Note) and all such proceeds shall be deemed, for
all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and
interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account. To the extent the proceeds received during any calendar
month exceed the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued
interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for the
calendar month, the excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of
principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The
proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any proceeds from
an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority:
first,
to
reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances or
Servicing Fees or for any unreimbursed Advances, as applicable;
second,
to
reimburse the Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions
thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09(a)(ii) that related to the Mortgage Loan;
third,
to
accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such
amount or an Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate through the Remittance Period
preceding the Distribution Date on which the amounts are required to be
distributed; and
fourth,
as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer will retain any Excess
Proceeds from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan as additional
servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
The
Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan at the request of
the
related Mortgagor if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and the
Mortgage Rate on the relevant Mortgage Loan, as modified, is approximately
a
prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms
and (ii) the Servicer purchases the relevant Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund
as described below. Upon the agreement of the Servicer to modify a Mortgage
Loan
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall purchase that
Mortgage Loan and all interest of the Trustee in that Mortgage Loan shall
automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all
benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the right to accrued
interest thereon from the date of purchase and the risk of default thereon,
shall pass to the Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee
a
certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all requirements of
the
first paragraph of this subsection (c) have been satisfied with respect to
the
Mortgage Loan to be repurchased pursuant to this paragraph.
The
Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan repurchased
pursuant to this Section 3.12 in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.06 within one (1) Business Day after the purchase of the Mortgage Loan. Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by
a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Servicer the related
Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the
Servicer any Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant
hereto.
The
Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability
for any taxes (including prohibited transaction taxes) and any related interest,
additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund established hereunder as
a
result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this Section
3.12 or any purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Servicer in connection with
a
modification (but such obligation shall not prevent the Servicer or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings
and
shall not prevent the Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Servicer shall
have no right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any tax, interest,
and
penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or
the
Servicer.
Section 3.13 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by delivering
a
“Request for Release” substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of
the request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to
the
Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Servicer’s direction execute and deliver
to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance, or release
or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the
Mortgage in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage
Note
with written evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the related Mortgagor.
From
time
to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose collection under any policy of flood
insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes
of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall,
upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit
M
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer or
its
designee. Subject to the further limitations stated below, the Servicer shall
cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee
when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate
Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request
for
Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If
the
Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect
of
any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings,
requests for trustee’s sale, or other documents necessary to effectuate such
foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or
to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 3.14 |
Documents,
Records, and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to be Held for the
Trustee.
|
The
Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer for any funds
it
receives or otherwise collects as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
in
respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by,
or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation
Proceeds, including any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall
be
held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain
the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Certificate Account, the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any
Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable
to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment, or other encumbrance,
or
assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any
Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage
Loan,
except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and
deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.15 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer may retain or withdraw
from the Servicing Account, the Collection Account or the Certificate Account
the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Servicing Fee payable to the
Servicer shall be reduced by the lesser
of
the
aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to the Distribution
Date and
the
aggregate Compensating Interest for the Distribution Date.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest Excess, Excess
Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges and all income and gain net
of
any losses realized from Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Servicer
to the extent not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (payment of any
premiums for hazard insurance, and any Primary Insurance Policy and maintenance
of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this Agreement) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in
this Agreement.
Section 3.16 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory
authorities supervising the Certificateholders and Certificate Owners and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal
business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this
Section 3.16 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
3.16 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 3.16.
Section 3.17 |
Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee via electronic mail
(XXXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx), the Depositor and the Rating Agencies on or before
March 15 of each year, commencing in 2007, an officer’s certificate, certifying
that with respect to the period ending December 31st of the prior year: (i)
the
Servicer or such Servicing Officer, as applicable, has reviewed the activities
of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its
performance under this Agreement and (ii) to the best of the Servicer’s or such
Servicing Officer’s knowledge, as applicable, based on such review, the Servicer
has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there
has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and
the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided
by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee
as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of
the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the
Trustee. In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer will, to the extent
reasonable, give any other servicing information required by the Commission
pursuant to applicable law.
Section 3.18 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
R
hereto). Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122
of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee via electronic
mail
(XXXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx) and the Depositor prior to (x) March 15, 2007
and
(y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior
to
March 15th of each year thereafter, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment
of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during
the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance must be reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, and as set forth in Regulation AB, the Assessment
of Compliance must contain the following:
(i) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(ii) A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria, and
which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(iii) An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year,
including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect
thereto during such period, which assessment 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;
(iv) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year; and
(v) 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.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit R hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Servicer.
Prior
to
(x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 15th of each year thereafter, the Servicer
shall
furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a
registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the
Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18
and
15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation
Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued
or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The
Servicer shall cause and 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 Trustee 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 R 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.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th of such year, the Depositor, at its sole option, may permit a cure
period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report, but in no event later than March 25th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.18 may be deemed an Event
of Default. The Trustee shall, with the consent 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, give notice
to Certificateholders that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such
objection is received, the Trustee shall 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.
This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any
other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trustee shall, prior to (x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form
15
Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15th of each year
thereafter, 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 R hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trustee.”
Section 3.19 |
Errors
and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity
Bonds.
|
The
Servicer shall obtain and maintain in force (a) policies of insurance covering
errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder
and (b) a fidelity bond covering its officers, employees, and agents. Each
policy and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to
time
of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased
by FNMA or FHLMC. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIM Insurer,
upon request, with a certificate of insurance relating to the insurance policies

Section 3.20 |
Notification
of Adjustments.
|
On
each
Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each
adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable regulations. The Servicer shall
execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note
and
applicable regulations regarding such interest rate adjustments. The Servicer
also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data
and
information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods
of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the
Servicer or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has
incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Rate or a monthly payment pursuant to the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately
deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount of any loss
caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be liable with respect to any interest rate adjustments
made
by any servicer prior to the Servicer.
Section 3.21 |
Prepayment
Charges.
|
(a)
The
Servicer shall not waive any part of any Prepayment Charge unless the waiver
relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, the collection of
any
Prepayment Charge would violate any relevant law or regulation or the waiving
of
the Prepayment Charge would otherwise benefit the Trust Fund and it is expected
that the waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of the Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver
of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan
that
is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default). The Servicer
shall
not waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage
Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default.
(b)
The
Seller represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, that the information in the Prepayment Charge Schedule (including
the attached prepayment charge summary) is complete and accurate in all material
respects at the dates as of which the information is furnished and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms
under applicable state law.
(c)
Upon
discovery by the Seller or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach
of
the foregoing clause (b) that materially and adversely affects right of the
Holders of the Class P Certificate to any Prepayment Charge, the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
If
the NIM Insurer discovers a breach of the foregoing, it may give written notice
of the breach to the Servicer, the Seller, and the Trustee. Within sixty (60)
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Servicer of breach, the Servicer shall cure the breach in all material respects
or shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment
Charge, less any amount previously collected and paid by the Servicer into
the
Collection Account. If the covenant made by the Servicer in clause (a) above
is
breached, the Servicer must pay into the Collection Account the amount of the
waived Prepayment Charge.
Section 3.22 |

|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain two segregated
trust accounts that are each Eligible Accounts, which shall be titled (i) “Group

“Group

and
(ii) “Group II Pre-Funding Account, [Trustee], as Trustee and Supplemental

Agreement.
(b) The
Trustee shall invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts in Permitted
Investments of the kind described in clauses (i), (iii) or (ix) of the
definition of Permitted Investments, as specified in a written direction from
the Servicer, with a maturity date no later than the second Business Day
preceding each Distribution Date. For federal income tax purposes, the holders
of the Class R Certificates shall be the owners of the Pre-Funding Accounts
and
shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding Account the amount of
any
net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon
realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor. The
Pre-Funding Accounts shall not be assets of any Trust REMIC.
(c) Amounts
on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be withdrawn by the Trustee as
follows:
(i) on
any
Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the related
Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the Stated Principal Balances
of
the Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred and assigned to the Trustee for
deposit in the pool of Mortgage Loans on such Subsequent Transfer Date and
pay
such amount to or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to such transfer and
assignment;
(ii) if
the
amount on deposit in the related Pre-Funding Account has not been reduced to
zero during the Funding Period, on the day of the termination of the Funding
Period, the Trustee shall deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts
remaining in the Pre-Funding Account to be held uninvested;
(iii) to
withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts
or
deposited therein in error; and
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Pre-Funding Accounts upon the earlier to occur of (A) the
day
immediately following the end of the Funding Period and (B) the termination
of
this Agreement, with any amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to
the
Certificateholders then entitled to distributions in respect of
principal.

Distributions
and Advances by the Servicer
Section 4.01 |
Advances.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall determine by each Servicer Advance Date whether it is required
to
make an Advance pursuant to the definition of Advance. If the Servicer
determines it is required to make an Advance, it shall, by the Servicer Advance
Date, either (i) deposit into the Certificate Account the Advance or (ii) make
an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate Account that
any
Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the Servicer in discharge
of its obligation to make the Advance. The Servicer shall replace any funds
so
applied by making a deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the close
of business on the next Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to
this Section 4.01, as provided in Section 3.09. The obligation to make Advances
with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if the Mortgage Loan has been
foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not
been liquidated. The Servicer shall inform the Trustee of the amount of the
Advance to be made on each Servicer Advance Date no later than the second
Business Day before the related Distribution Date.
(b) If
the
Servicer determines that it will be unable to comply with its obligation to
make
the Advances as and when described in the second sentence of Section 4.01(a),
it
shall use its best efforts to give written notice thereof to the Trustee (each
such notice, an “Advance
Notice”;
and
such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., (New York
time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Servicer Advance
Date, specifying the amount that it will be unable to deposit (each such amount,
an “Advance
Deficiency”)
and
certifying that such Advance Deficiency constitutes the amount of an Advance
hereunder and that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the
Trustee receives an Advance Notice on or before 3:00 p.m., (New York time)
on a
Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee is entitled to immediately terminate the
Servicer under Section 7.01, and shall, not later than 3:00 p.m., (New York
time), on the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Distribution Account
an
amount equal to the Advance Deficiency identified in such Advance Notice unless
it is prohibited from so doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall
have
received written notification from the Servicer that the Servicer has deposited
or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such
Advance Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Distribution
Date. If the Trustee has not terminated the Servicer, the Servicer shall
reimburse the Trustee for the amount of any such Advance Deficiency (including
interest at the Prime Rate published in The
Wall Street Journal
on the
day of such reimbursement on such amount), made by the Trustee pursuant to
this
Section 4.01(b), not later than the second day following the related Servicer
Advance Date. In the event that the Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee
in
accordance with the requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall
immediately (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 3.05, assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer hereunder.
(c) The
Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding each Servicer Advance Date, deliver to the Trustee a
report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) that
indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Servicer has
determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be advanced and (ii)
the
amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee on the related Servicer Advance Date an Officer’s Certificate of a
Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Advance determined
by
the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

from
any
Group II Principal Distribution Amount that remains undistributed, concurrently,
to the Class 1A-1 and Class 1A-2 Certificates, pro

until
their respective Class Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero, up to
the
Group I Senior Principal Distribution Amount remaining undistributed after
the
distribution of the Group I Principal Distribution Amount, as provided in clause
(b)(ii)(A)(1) above, until their respective certificate balances have been
reduced to zero; and then
(C)

and
(b) above shall be distributed in the following order of priority with respect
to the Certificates:

Class;
(viii) to
the
Excess Reserve Fund Account, the amount of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amount
for such Distribution Date;
(ix) to
the
Supplemental Interest Trust for payment to
the
Swap
Provider, any Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger
Event (to the extent not paid by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from
any upfront payment received pursuant to any replacement interest rate swap
agreement that may be entered into by the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee);
(x) to
the
holders of the Class
C
Certificate,
(a) the
Class C Distributable Amount and (b) on any Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Balances of the Class A and Subordinate Certificates have been
reduced to zero, any remaining amounts in reduction of the Certificate Balance
of the Class C Certificates, until the Certificate Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero (and for federal and state income tax purposes, such total
amounts shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC IV to the Holder of
the
Class C Interest and by REMIC V to the Holder of the Class C
Certificates);
(xi) if
such
Distribution Date follows the Prepayment Period during which occurs the latest
date on which a Prepayment Charge may be required to be paid in respect of
any
Mortgage Loans, to the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in reduction of
the
Certificate Balance thereof, until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced
to
zero (and for federal and state income tax purposes, such total amounts shall
be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC IV to the Holder of the Class P Interest
and by REMIC VI to the Holder of the Class P Certificates); and
(xii) to
the
holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-IV Interest),
the
remaining amount.
(II) On
each
Distribution Date, an amount equal to all Prepayment Charges received during
the
related Prepayment Period together with the amounts paid in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 3.21 shall be distributed to the holders of the Class P
Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of the Class
P
Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Balances thereof.
(III) Without
limiting the provisions of Section 9.02, by acceptance of the Class R
Certificates, the holders of the Class R Certificates agree, and it is the
understanding of the parties hereto, for so long as the NIM Notes are
outstanding, to assign and transfer their rights to receive any amounts
otherwise distributable to the holders of the Class R Certificates (and such
rights are hereby assigned and transferred) to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates, to be paid to the holders of the Class C Certificates.
(IV) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following disbursements and
transfers from amounts then on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account in
the
following order of priority, to the extent of funds available
therefor:
(a) concurrently,
to each Class of Class A Certificates, pro
rata,
the
amount of the Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amount for each such Class;
and
(b) sequentially,
to the Subordinated Certificates, in order of their distribution priority,
to
the extent of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amount for each such Class.
At
least
six (6) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, the Seller shall
make available to the Trustee a statement containing (i) the aggregate
Certificate Balances of each of the Group I Certificates, Group II Certificates
and Subordinated Certificates owned by the Seller or any of its Affiliates
during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period and/or as of the date
of such statement to the Trustee and (ii) the names of the Sellers and/or any
of
its Affiliates that own any of the Group I Certificates, Group II Certificates
or Subordinated Certificates during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual
Period and/or as of the date of such statement to the Trustee. The Seller and
its Affiliates hereby agree that (i) the Seller and its Affiliates shall own
not
less than 100% of any Class of Certificates and all transfers of Group I
Certificates, Group II Certificates or Subordinated Certificates of any Class
that the Seller and/or is Affiliates may undertake shall be restricted to 100%
of such Class and (ii) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall
undertake to sell any Certificates held by such entities or purchase any
additional Certificates from the date of such statement to the Trustee until
the
first day following the related Distribution Date.
(V) On
each
Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall make the
distributions required under Section 4.05(c).
(VI) It
is the
intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates receive
all
principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is
not
otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC
Regular Interests and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal
and interest. If the Trustee determines that the Residual Certificates are
entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to any such distribution
to
any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending
distribution but shall make such distribution in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified in the following
sentence. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an amendment to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in the distribution
provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by acceptance of their
Certificates, and the Servicer(s), hereby agree to any such amendment and no
further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in
Section 10.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that
such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 10.01 hereof.

Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.
For
the
purposes of determining delinquency periods in reporting under (ix) above,
for
any Monthly Statement, a Mortgage Loan’s delinquency period shall be determined
as of the Due Date falling in the month in which the monthly statement is
provided and a Mortgage Loan is first delinquent only after the first Due Date
following the Due Date for which any part of a Scheduled Payment has not been
paid, and each calendar month shall be treated as having 30 days. Thus, for
the
December Monthly Statement a Mortgage Loan whose November Due Date payment
has
not been paid by the December Due Date is not delinquent. On the day after
the
December Due Date, such Mortgage Loan would be one day delinquent. A Mortgage
Loan whose November Due Date payment has not been paid by the December Due
Date
is 30 days past due as of the December Due Date, and would be reported as such
in the December Monthly Statement.
If
the
statement is not accessible to any of the Certificateholders, the Servicer,
the
Depositor, the NIM Insurer or any Rating Agency on the Trustee’s Internet
website, the Trustee shall forward a hard copy of it to each Certificateholder,
the Servicer, the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and each Rating Agency immediately
after the Trustee becomes aware that it is not accessible to any of them via
its
website. The address of the Trustee’s Internet website where the statement will
be accessible is xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/xxxx.
Assistance in using the Trustee’s Internet website may be obtained by calling
the Trustee’s customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. The Trustee shall notify
each Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and each
Rating Agency in writing of any change in the address or means of access to
the
Internet website where the statement is accessible.
(b)
The
Trustee’s responsibility for preparing and disbursing the above information to
the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness, and accuracy
of the information derived from the Servicer. The Trustee is not responsible
for
any inaccuracies in or caused by the data provided by the Servicer.
By
each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee in electronic
form
the information needed to determine the distributions to be made pursuant to
Section 4.02 and 3.09(b)(ii) and any other information that the Servicer and
the
Trustee mutually agree, including, without limitation, the amount on deposit
in
the Certificate Account (before and after giving effect to remittances to the
Trustee on the Distribution Account Deposit Date) and the aggregate amount
of
expenses paid from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account.
(c)
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall
cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar year
was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information in clauses
(a)(i) and (a)(ii) (with respect to principal and interest distributed) of
this
Section 4.03 aggregated for the calendar year or the applicable portion thereof
during which the Person was a Certificateholder. Within a reasonable period
of
time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be
furnished to the NIM Insurer, a statement containing the information in clauses
(a)(i) and (a)(ii) (with respect to principal and interest distributed) of
this
Section 4.03 aggregated for the calendar year. This obligation of the Trustee
shall be satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall
be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from
time
to time in effect.
Section 4.04 |
Allocation
of Interest Shortfall and Realized
Losses
|
For
purposes of calculating the amount of the Accrued Certificate Interest
Distribution Amount for the Class A Certificates, the Subordinated Certificates
and the Class C Certificates for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount
of
any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls
incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date (together,
“Net Interest Shortfalls”) shall be allocated first, to reduce the interest
accrued on the Class C Certificates in the related Accrual Period up to an
amount equal to one month’s interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on
the Notional Amount of such Certificates and, thereafter, to reduce the interest
accrued during the related Accrual Period on the Class A Certificates and the
Subordinated Certificates on a pro
rata
basis
based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
respective Pass-Through Rate on the respective Certificate Principal Balance
of
each such Certificate.
If
on any
Distribution Date, the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Class A
Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates, determined after all
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 have been made, exceeds the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of such Distribution
Date, such excess shall be allocated by the Trustee to reduce the balance of
the
Subordinated Certificates, in reverse order of their numerical designations,
until the Class Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to
zero.
All Applied Realized Losses so allocated to the Class Certificate Balance of
any
such Class on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual
distributions to be made on such date as provided herein. No allocations of
any
Realized Losses shall be made to the Class Certificate Balance of the Class
A
Certificates. All references in Section 4.01 to the Class Certificate Balance
of
any Class of Certificates, unless otherwise stated, shall be to the Class
Certificate Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution
Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses as provided in this
Section 4.04, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on
such Distribution Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Subordinated Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by such
Certificate’s pro rata share of Applied Realized Losses allocated to the related
Class Certificate Balance.
On
each
Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to
the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries included in the Available Funds for such
Distribution Date shall be applied to increase the Class Certificate Balance
of
the Class of Subordinated Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the
extent of Unpaid Realized Loss Amounts for such Class of Certificates. An amount
equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied
to
increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with
the
next Highest Priority, up to the amount of Unpaid Realized Loss Amounts for
such
Class of Certificates, and so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be
entitled to any distributions in respect of interest on the amount of such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on
which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its
respective Percentage Interest.
Section 4.05 |
Supplemental
Interest Trust.
|
(a)
As
of the
Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and
maintain in the name of the Trustee a separate trust for the benefit of the
holders of the Class A Certificates and Subordinated Certificates (the
“Supplemental
Interest Trust”)
into
which the Depositor shall deposit $1,000. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall
hold the Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall include an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without
limitation, other moneys of the Trustee or of the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held
uninvested.
(b)
On
each
Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into
the Supplemental Interest Trust amounts received from the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 4.02(I) of this Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee shall distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider
pursuant to the Swap Agreement, first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the
Swap Provider for such Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination
Payment owed to the Swap Provider.
(c)
On
each
Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into
the Supplemental Interest Trust amounts received from the Swap Provider. On
each
Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall distribute
from
the Supplemental Interest Trust an amount up to the Net Swap Payment received
from the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement, in the following order of
priority:
(1) concurrently,
to each Class of Class A Certificates, pro
rata,
in an
amount equal to the Unpaid Interest Amount for each such Class and such
Distribution Date, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 4.01(I)(a);
provided, that for this purpose no Certificates held by the Seller, the
Depositor or any Affiliate shall receive such distribution;
(2) sequentially,
to each Class of Subordinated Certificates, in order of their distribution
priority (highest to lowest), in an amount equal to the Unpaid Interest Amount
for each such Class and such Distribution Date, to the extent not paid pursuant
to Section 4.01(I)(c); provided, that for this purpose no Certificates held
by
the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate shall receive such
distribution;
(3) to
fund
the amount by which the Total Monthly Excess Spread for such Distribution Date
is less than the Overcollateralization Deficiency on such Distribution Date,
to
be paid as a component of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount as described
in Section 4.01(I)(b) above; provided, that for this purpose no Certificates
held by the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate shall receive such
distribution;
(4) [reserved];
(5) sequentially,
to each Class of Subordinated Certificates, in order of their distribution
priority (highest to lowest), in an amount equal to any Unpaid Realized Losses
to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 4.01(I)(c); provided, that for this
purpose no Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate
shall
receive such distribution;
(6) first,
to
each Class of Class A Certificates, pro
rata,
any
related Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts for such Classes remaining unpaid
on
such Distribution Date after all distributions of amounts on deposit in the
Excess Reserve Fund Account are made, and second, sequentially, to each Class
of
Subordinated Certificates, in order of their distribution priority (highest
to
lowest), any related Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts for such Class or Classes
of Subordinated Certificates remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date, in
each
case to the extent not covered by other amounts on deposit in the Excess Reserve
Fund Account; provided,
that for this purpose no Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor or
any
Affiliate shall receive such distribution;
(7) subject
to 4.05(i) below, to
IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., the amount of such distribution that would otherwise
be
payable to Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate
without the inclusion of the proviso in clauses (1) through (6)
above;
(8)
to
the
extent NIM Notes are issued, to the indenture trustee under the Indenture,
that
amount required to be distributed to the holders of the NIM Notes on the related
Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture); and
(9)
any
remainder to IndyMac Bank, F.S.B.
(d)
The
Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any REMIC.
IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. shall be the beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest
Trust, as such entity is entitled to receive any remaining amounts payable
by
the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement as described pursuant to Section
4.05(c), subject to the power of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to
transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the
Supplemental Interest Trust. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall,
at
the written direction of IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., invest amounts on deposit in
the
Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted Investments. In the absence of written
direction to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from IndyMac Bank, F.S.B.,
all funds in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each
Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall distribute,
not
in respect of any REMIC, any interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust
to IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. IndyMac Bank F.S.B.’s ownership
interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust may not be transferred (or
re-transferred) unless 100% of the ownership interest is transferred (or
re-transferred) to a single entity treated as a corporation for federal income
tax purposes. IndyMac Bank F.S.B., and any subsequent owner of the Supplemental
Interest Trust, will provide (and update as required or reasonably requested) an
IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 to the Trustee.
(e)
For
federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust
on
each Distribution Date pursuant to Sections 4.02(I) and (V) shall first be
deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of REMIC VII Regular
Interest SWAP IO to the extent of the amount distributable on REMIC VII Regular
Interest SWAP IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall
be
deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of a Class IO
Distribution Amount.
(f)
The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having
entered into a notional principal contract with the owners of the Supplemental
Interest Trust. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders
of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class C, Class R and Class R-X
Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution
Date, to the owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust an aggregate amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date
on
the REMIC Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such Class
of
Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on
such
Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class
IO Distribution Amount”).
A
Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be
allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest
otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution Amount
payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate
Class of such Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent
of such balance. In addition, pursuant to a notional principal contract, the
Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay
Net
WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than
the
Class C, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates from amounts deemed
received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments
with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class
C,
Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount
shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of
such
Certificates in respect of the REMIC Regular Interest ownership of which is
represented by such Certificates, and as having been paid by such Holders to
the
Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus,
each Certificate (other than the Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates)
shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in
REMIC IV, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect
to,
a notional principal contract.
(g)
In
the
event that the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Distribution Date
in [
], the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, as directed by and upon the
recommendation of a nationally-recognized investment bank (which may be Xxxxxx
Brothers, Inc.), and using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Swap
Provider and deposited in the Supplemental Interest Trust, appoint a successor
Swap Provider.
(h)
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, in the event that a qualified successor Swap Provider
is unable to be located, in accordance with Section 4.05(g) above, within 30
days after receipt by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee of the Swap
Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Provider, the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into a
separate, non-interest bearing trust account established by the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, on
each Distribution Date following receipt of such Swap Termination Payment,
withdraw from such account an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any,
that
would have been paid to the Trust by the original Swap Provider (computed in
accordance with the original Swap Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit K)
and
distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4.05(c). On the Distribution
Date immediately after the termination date of the original Swap Agreement,
the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall withdraw any funds remaining in such
account and distribute such amount in accordance with this
Agreement.
(i)
The
Seller shall promptly notify the Trustee in the event that any Certificates
are
held by the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate. In the absence of such
notification, the Trustee on each Distribution Date may conclusively rely on
the
status of the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate as of the immediately
preceding Record Date.
Section 4.06 |
Tax
Treatment of Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
|
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A or Subordinated
Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in
a
REMIC Regular Interest and the right to receive payments from either the Excess
Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net
WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the
Supplemental Interest Trust.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will
account for payments to each Class A and Subordinated Certificates as follows:
each Class A and Subordinated Certificate will be treated as receiving their
entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or
obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion
of
any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’s obligation under
the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a
REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination
Payment (or any shortfall in the fee to the Swap Provider), will be made by
one
or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC
subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any
such Class A or Subordinated Certificate. The REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Class A or Subordinated Certificate will be entitled to
receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal
to
those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the
maximum interest rate of that REMIC Regular Interest will equal the Net WAC
Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the notional amount
of
the Swap Agreement to the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
and
(ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from
Total Monthly Excess Spread. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of
distributions and taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding
to
a Class A or Subordinated Certificate may exceed the actual amount of
distributions on the Class A or Subordinated Certificate.
Section 4.07 |
Certain
Matters Relating to the Determination of
LIBOR.
|
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times retain
at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect
to each Interest Determination Date. The Servicer initially shall designate
the
Reference Banks. Each “Reference
Bank”
shall
be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place
of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to
act as such or if the Servicer should terminate its appointment as Reference
Bank, the Servicer shall promptly appoint another Reference Bank. The Trustee
shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection
of
any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability
to
retain at least four Reference Banks that is caused by circumstances beyond
its
reasonable control.
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination Date
so
long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the
respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any
Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain
quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred
to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.07 and
the
definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate
for
the LIBOR Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error)
be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the
Trustee.

Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current
Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates 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 principal shall be distributed to

Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than
in the
preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses

THE
CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits.
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in minimum denominations,
representing an original principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples
of
$1,000 in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be
issued in a different amount that must exceed the applicable minimum
denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in REMIC
II.
Subject
to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either:
(x)
by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Holder at
a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Holder
has
so notified the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before the related
Record Date; and
(y)
by
check mailed by first class mail to the Certificateholder at the address of
such
holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The
Trustee shall execute the Certificates by manual or facsimile signature of
an
authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of
individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized
to
sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized before the
countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to
any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of
the
Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The
Depositor shall provide to the Trustee, on a continuous basis, an adequate
inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section 5.02 |
Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a)
The
Trustee shall maintain, in accordance with Section 5.06, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide
for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates
are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver
the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled
to
receive. A written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee
duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing shall
accompany every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange. 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 four separate certificates, each representing such holder’s
respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II
Interest, the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV 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 three separate certificates,
each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-V
Interest, the Class R-VI Interest and the Class R-VII Interest that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b)
No
transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and any applicable state securities laws. 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 thereof, (ii) the transfer
of
any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the applicable issuer
or
indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class
C,
Class P or Residual Certificate from the applicable issuer or indenture trustee
under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof), but in reliance
on an exemption from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws, to assure compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer shall
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the form of Exhibit J (the “Transferor
Certificate”)
and
either (i) deliver to the Trustee a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit
L (the “Rule
144A Letter”)
or
(ii) deliver to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that the transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and
any
prospective transferee designated by the Holder of a Private Certificate,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and any
other information necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of the Certificate without registration thereof under
the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule
144A.
The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing
the
Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing
to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage
Loans
and other matters regarding the Trust Fund the Depositor reasonably requests
to
meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor, the Seller, 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.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
and
the NIM Insurer shall have received either:
(i) a
representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in
form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer (if the
Certificate is a Private Certificate, the requirement is satisfied only by
the
Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially
in the form of Exhibit L, and if the Certificate is a Residual Certificate,
the
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a Transfer Affidavit
from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect
that
(x) the transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any
such
plan or arrangement to effect the transfer, or (y) if the ERISA-Restricted
Certificate is not a Class C, Class R or Class R-X Certificate and has been
the
subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and the purchaser is an insurance
company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is
purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company
general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE
95-60”)
and
that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections
I
and III of PTCE 95-60; or
(ii) in
the
case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the
name
of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject
to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person acting on behalf
of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the
Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the
NIM Insurer, the Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the
effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Servicer
to
any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement
or to
any liability.
For
purposes of the preceding sentence, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any
certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer
of
any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof, (ii) the transfer
of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the applicable issuer
or
indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class
C,
Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer or indenture trustee under
the
Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof (in which case, the Depositor
or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that it is not
using the assets of any plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA
or
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code) and the Trustee shall be entitled
to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee,
shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such
transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor. In addition, with respect to
transfers of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (that is not a Residual
Certificate) other than as described in the preceding sentence, if the
representation letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding
sentence is not furnished, the appropriate representation in clause (i) shall
be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an
initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. If any such
representation in the preceding sentences is violated, or any attempt to
transfer to a plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such
plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement, is
made
without the Opinion of Counsel, the attempted transfer or acquisition shall
be
void.
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial owner
of a Class A or Subordinate Certificate or any interest therein, shall be deemed
to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such
Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii)
(A)
it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D
issued under the Securities Act and (B) the acquisition and holding of such
Certificate and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental
Interest Trust are eligible for the exemptive relief available Prohibited
Transaction 84-14, 90-1, 91-38, 95-60 or 96-23.
Each
beneficial owner of a Subordinated Certificate or any interest therein that
is
acquired after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust 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 or arrangement
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code,
or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets
of any such plan or arrangement, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such
certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption, and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter’s
Exemption, including that such certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch or
Xxxxx’x, and such certificate is so rated, that it will represent that it is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D issued under
the Securities Act and will obtain a representation from any transferee that
such transferee is an accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain
a
representation regarding compliance with the Securities Act 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.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including ERISA), the Trustee shall
not
be liable to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
(c)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee (with
a
copy of any such notice to the NIM Insurer) of any change or impending change
in
its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
to
be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall
have
been furnished with an affidavit (a copy of which shall be provided to the
NIM
Insurer) (a “Transfer
Affidavit”)
of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form of Exhibit I (subject
to
the limitations with respect thereto as set forth in Section
5.02(b)).
(iii) Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5.02(b), each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall
agree:
(A)
to
obtain
a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate;
(B)
to
obtain
a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee,
trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate;
and
(C)
not
to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person
if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and
void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported
transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of
this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time
it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate in this Section 5.02(c)
shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual
Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery
to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be
an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller, the NIM Insurer or the
Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause
the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or any other Person. The Opinion of Counsel shall
be
accompanied by written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal
of
the restriction will not cause the Rating Agency to downgrade its ratings of
the
Certificates. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that,
based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary
(a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in,
a
Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel
the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d)
The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the
parties to such transfers.
(e)
Except
as
provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered
in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration
of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository;
(ii) the
Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate
Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry
Certificates;
(iii) ownership
and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of
the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository;
(iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges, and expenses
from
its Depository Participants;
(v) the
Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect
participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the
Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and
furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating
firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as
direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing the Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x)
(i)
the
Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository
is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and
(y)
after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least
51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise
the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners,
then
the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive,
fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive
Certificates”)
to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instruction, and each may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate
the
issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon
or to
be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall
not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party
for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any
Certificate and the Servicer, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee receive the
security or indemnity required by them to hold each of them harmless, then,
in
the absence of notice to the Trustee that the Certificate has been acquired
by a
Protected Purchaser, and if the requirements of Section 8-406 of the UCC are
met
and subject to Section 8-405 of the UCC, the Trustee shall execute, countersign
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
is
found at any time.
Section 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and any agent of the Servicer or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided
in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or any agent of the Servicer or the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 |
Access
to List of Certificateholders’ Names and
Addresses.
|
If
three
or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a) request such
information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that those Certificateholders
and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or
under the Certificates and (c) provide a copy of the communication that those
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Servicer requests such information in writing from the Trustee,
then the Trustee shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of
the
request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or those Certificateholders and/or
Certificate Owners at the recipients’ expense the most recent list of the
Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee. The Depositor and
every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that
the
Trustee shall not be held accountable because of the disclosure of any such
information as to the list of the Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners
hereunder, regardless of the source from which the information was
derived.

(a)
any
failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or remit to the
Trustee any payment (other than a payment required to be made under Section

a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises for the appointment of a receiver, conservator or liquidator in
any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or

the
Servicer shall fail (i) to make an Advance on the Servicer Advance Date or
(ii)

shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of the NIM
Insurer or the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than
662/3%
of the
Percentage Interests of the Class, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to
the
Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder.
On
and after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and
power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans
or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall make
any Advance that the Servicer failed to make, whether or not the obligations
of
the Servicer have been terminated pursuant to this Section.

Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any 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. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to
pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts
that
shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer fails to make
any
Advance required under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, thereby triggering an
Event of Default described in clause (f) of this Section 7.01, the Trustee
shall
make such Advance on that Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on
a
Mortgage Loan that was due before the notice terminating the Servicer’s rights
and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after the notice, that
portion thereof to which the Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to
Sections 3.09(a)(i) through (v) and (vii), and any other amounts payable to

Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose before the termination of
its

Agreement and the transactions provided for herein and shall be subject to
all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities (other than any liabilities
incurred by the Servicer prior to its termination hereunder) relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms hereof and applicable law, including the
obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor,
the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that
the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account
or
Distribution Account if the Servicer had continued to act
hereunder.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in
accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
so
act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances
pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage
loan servicing institution reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer (as
evidenced by the prior written consent of the NIM Insurer), the appointment
of
which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates
and
the NIM Insurer guaranteed notes by each Rating Agency, as the successor to
the
Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the obligations
of
the Servicer hereunder.
Any
successor to the Servicer shall be an institution that is a FNMA and FHLMC
approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and that executes
and
delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation
and assignment, containing an assumption by it of the rights and obligations
of
the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred
before termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as
if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided,
that
each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately before the assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced as a result of the assignment and delegation.
Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the
Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05,
act
in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment
and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation
of
the successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and the successor shall
agree. No such compensation shall exceed the Servicing Fee Rate. The Trustee
and
the successor shall take any action, consistent with this Agreement, necessary
to effectuate the succession.
Neither
the Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder because of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or
any
delay in performing, any duties hereunder, in either case caused by the failure
of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any cash, information, documents or records to it. The appointment of a
successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer
that my have arisen under this Agreement before its termination as Servicer
to
pay any deductible under an insurance policy, to indemnify any person, or
otherwise, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions
of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either
(i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee 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, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver
an
assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to
the Trustee 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 or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the
successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor
Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate
recording office. The successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be
delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence
of
recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which
such assignment was recorded.
Any
successor to the Servicer as Servicer shall give notice of the change of
servicer to the NIM Insurer and the Mortgagors and shall, during the term of
its
service as Servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer
is required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05.
Section 7.03 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a)
Upon
any
termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and each Rating
Agency.
(b)
Within
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of
each
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless the Event of Default
has

The
Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, and the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee shall undertake to perform such duties and only the duties
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred
and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in

in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee, as applicable, that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether
they
are in the form required by this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not
to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall take
any action it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
as applicable, shall notify the Certificateholders of the defect. Neither the
Trustee nor the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be responsible for
the
accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct.
Unless
an
Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing:
(a)
the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee,

furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement
that it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed
by
the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(b)
the
Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is finally
proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and
(c)
the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
the
NIM Insurer or Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.

Section 8.03 |
Trustee
and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee Not Liable for Certificates
or
Mortgage Loans.
|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and neither
the
Trustee nor the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee assumes any responsibility
for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, the Certificates, any Mortgage Loan or related document or MERS
or
the MERS® System other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and
countersignature of the Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer
in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate
Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
Except
as
provided in Section 2.01(c), the Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing
or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at
any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest
or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the
successor Servicer).
The
Trustee executes the Certificates not in its individual capacity but solely
as
Trustee of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement, in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of
the
undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal
undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose
of binding only the Trust Fund.
Section 8.04 |
Trustee
and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee May Own
Certificates.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, in its individual
or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the
same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee or the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable.
Section 8.05 |
Trustee’s
Fees and Expenses.
|
As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement as Trustee and Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, the Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date the Trustee Fee for the Distribution Date. The Trustee
and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as
applicable, shall be indemnified by the Seller against any loss, liability
or
expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from any error in any
tax or information return prepared by the Servicer or incurred in connection
with any claim or legal action relating to:
(a) this
Agreement;
(b) the
Certificates; or
(c) the
performance of any of the Trustee’s or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee’s
duties under this Agreement;
other
than any loss, liability or expense incurred because of willful misfeasance,
bad
faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s or the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee’s duties under this Agreement. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation
or
removal of the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon
in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee, as applicable, and except for any expense, disbursement or advance
arising from the Trustee’s or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee’s
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, the Seller shall pay or reimburse
the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, for
all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, in accordance with
this Agreement with respect to:
(A)
the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates;
(B)
the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer
or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee or the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee or the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee must engage them to perform services under this
Agreement; and
(C)
printing
and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive
Certificates.
Except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any
routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee, as applicable, in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee,
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, Registrar or Paying Agent under this
Agreement or for any other expenses.
Section 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee hereunder shall at
all
times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the
laws of a 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, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and with a credit rating that would not cause any of the Rating
Agencies to reduce their respective then-current ratings of the Certificates
(or, having provided such security from time to time, as is sufficient to avoid
such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such
corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital
and
surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as disclosed in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee, as applicable, ceases to be eligible in accordance with this Section
8.06, the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable,
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07. The entities serving as Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its
affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates. Neither the Trustee nor the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee may be an affiliate of the Seller, the
Depositor or the Servicer, other than the Trustee in its role as successor
to
the Servicer. The principal office of the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee (other than the initial Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has
been delivered to the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as
applicable, at the time such party is appointed Trustee or Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee, as applicable, to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable
entity under the laws of that state.
Section 8.07 |
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee may at any time resign
and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of
resignation to the Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less
than
sixty (60) days before the date specified in the notice, when, subject to
Section 8.08, the resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor
trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications in Section
8.06. If no successor trustee meeting those qualifications shall have been
so
appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
as
applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee reasonably
acceptable to the NIM Insurer.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall cease to
be
eligible in accordance with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the NIM Insurer or the Depositor, or if at any time the
Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take
charge or control of the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
as
applicable, or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust
Fund
by any state in which the Trustee, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of the tax would be avoided by
the
appointment of a different trustee or administrator, as applicable, then the
Depositor, the NIM Insurer or the Servicer may remove the Trustee or the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, and appoint a successor
trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee reasonably acceptable to the
NIM
Insurer by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be
delivered to the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as
applicable, one copy to the Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee
or
supplemental interest trust trustee.
The
NIM
Insurer or the Holders of Certificates (other than the Servicer, Seller,
Depositor or any affiliates or agents thereof) entitled to at least 51% of
the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
or supplemental interest trust trustee by written instrument or instruments,
in
triplicate, signed by the NIM Insurer or the Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, as the case may be, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
as
applicable, to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee or the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee so removed, and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. The successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee, as
applicable, shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee or
the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
and appointment of a successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee,
as applicable, pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee.
|
Any
successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee appointed as provided
in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, its
predecessor trustee or administrator and the Servicer an instrument accepting
its appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee or administrator shall become effective and the successor
trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee, without any further act, deed
or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
or
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and
the
predecessor trustee or administrator, as applicable, 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
supplemental interest trust trustee, as applicable, all such rights and
obligations.
No
successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of its
acceptance, the successor trustee or supplemental interest trust trustee is
eligible under Section 8.06, is reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer, and
its appointment does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or supplemental interest trust
trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of
the
succession of such trustee or administrator hereunder to the NIM Insurer and
all
Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail the notice within ten
(10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or
supplemental interest trust trustee, the successor trustee or supplemental
interest trust trustee, as applicable, shall cause the notice to be mailed
at
the expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee.
|
Any
corporation into which the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which
the
Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee or the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, hereunder if the successor
corporation is eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution or filing
of
any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate
Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the 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
and reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all
or
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in them, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If the Servicer shall not
have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt
by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an 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 and
no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(a)
To
the
extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights
and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation
of
the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer,
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights and obligations (including holding title to the applicable Trust Fund
or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of
the Trustee;
(b)
No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not
be
deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the
Trustee;
(c)
The
Trustee, with the consent of the NIM Insurer, may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d)
The
Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable
compensation, reimbursement, and indemnification to any such separate trustee
or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request, or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to
the
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign, or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 |
Tax
Matters.
|
It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining
to
the Trust Fund is to be made, as described in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be
such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent
(and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any REMIC created
hereunder and that in such capacity it shall:
(a)
prepare
and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit
Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal
Revenue Service) and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns
for
each taxable year with respect to each REMIC created hereunder described in
the
Preliminary Statement containing such information and at the times and in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations
or
rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required
thereby;
(b)
within
thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, furnish to the Internal Revenue Service,

information as may be required by such Form 8811, and update such information
at
the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c)
make
an
election that each REMIC created under this Agreement be treated as a REMIC
on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law);
(d)
prepare
and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and,

or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record
holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such
information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(f)
to
the
extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets
at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status
of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g)
pay,
from
the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount
of
any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on any REMIC created under this Agreement before its termination
when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not
prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such

statements or information;
(j)
as
and
when necessary and appropriate, represent any REMIC created under this Agreement

(k)
none
of
the Depositor, Servicer or the Trustee shall knowingly or intentionally take
any
action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of any REMIC,
or result in the imposition of any non-indemnification taxes on any REMIC,
created under this Agreement.
(l)
The
Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II,
REMIC III and REMIC IV and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC I, REMIC
II, REMIC III and REMIC IV. The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any
time
holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person
with respect to REMIC V, REMIC VI and REMIC VII and shall act as Tax Matters
Person for REMIC V, REMIC VI and REMIC VII. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax
Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other
tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code,
the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties,
if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury
or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any
disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in
any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit
by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as
to
any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
item
of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax
matter involving the Trust.
To
enable
the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all
information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to
be
relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the
Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected
cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor
shall provide information to the Trustee concerning the value to each Class
of
Certificates of the right to receive Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts from
the
Excess Reserve Fund Account. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any additional information or
data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable
the
Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Depositor hereby
indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that
result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
If
any
tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of any
REMIC created under this Agreement as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code,
on
any contribution to any REMIC created under this Agreement after the Startup
Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including
any minimum tax imposed on any REMIC created under this Agreement pursuant
to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not
paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee
if such tax or any other tax arises out of or results from negligence of the
Trustee in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement,
(ii)
the Servicer or the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer or Seller of any of
their
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller if such tax arises out of
or
results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.05, or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee,
the Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise
to
be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
3.09(b).
The
Trustee shall treat the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an outside reserve fund
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned
by
the holders of the Class C Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC
created hereunder. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the holders of each
Class of Certificates (other than the Class C, Class P, Class R and Class R-X
Certificates) to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account as rights
in an interest rate corridor contract written by the holders of the Class C
Certificates in respect of any Net WAC Shortfalls, in each case in favor of
the
other Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class C, Class
P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) shall be treated as representing
ownership of not only a REMIC regular interest, but also ownership of an
interest in an interest rate corridor contract.

normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in
respect of its duties under this Agreement and access to officers of the Trustee
responsible for performing its duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish

Certificateholder or Certificate Owner with its most recent financial
statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer,
the
Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner for
review and copying any books, documents or records requested with respect to
the
Trustee’s duties under this Agreement. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall not have any responsibility
or liability for any action for failure to act by the Trustee and are not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement
or
otherwise.

If
an
Event of Default or other material default by the Servicer or the Depositor
under this Agreement occurs and is continuing, at the direction of the
Certificateholders comprising in the aggregate a Majority in Interest or of
the
NIM Insurer, the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and
the
rights of the Certificateholders or the NIM Insurer under this Agreement by
a
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee,
being
advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual
to
protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the
Certificateholders.

Termination
Section 9.01 |
Termination
upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
Subject
to Section 9.03, the obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby with respect to the
Trust
Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of:
(a)
the
purchase by the NIM Insurer or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) at the price equal to the
sum of:
(i) 100%
of
the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than for REO Property)
plus
one
month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the
Servicing Fee Rate;
(ii) the
lesser
of
(x) the
appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Servicer
at
the expense of the Servicer and
(y) the
Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property,
in
each case plus
accrued
and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate;
(iii) any
costs
and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by
each
Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law;
(iv) any
Swap
Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider then due but unpaid or which
is
payable due to the exercise of such option; and
(b)
the
later
of:
(i) the
maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the
last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO
Property; and
(ii) the
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed
to
them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of the expiration of 21 years from the death of
the
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof or the
Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Preliminary
Statement).
The
Servicer may repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause
(a) above if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans,
at
the time of the repurchase, is less than ten (10) percent of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer is
entitled to repurchase the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section and fails
to
do so, the NIM Insurer may repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
pursuant to clause (a) above after thirty (30) days prior notice to the Servicer
if the Servicer does not first purchase them. Upon termination of the Trust,
the
Servicer shall succeed to all rights of the Trustee and Certificateholders
with
respect to the Trust Fund, other than funds needed to make the final
distribution, including any assets that were ever part of the Trust Fund. With
such repurchase, the Servicer shall acquire any rights or potential rights
of
the Certificateholders or the Trustee to causes of action against any Person
relating to the Mortgage Loans or the origination of the Mortgage Loans,
including, without limitation, the right to enforce any breach of a
representation or warranty made at any time with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
Section 9.02 |
Final
Distribution on the
Certificates.
|
If
on any
Determination Date, the NIM Insurer or the Servicer determines that there are
no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Certificate Account, the NIM Insurer or the Servicer
shall
direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the NIM Insurer or the Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least twenty (20) days
before the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders,
the
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Servicer
intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price
of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice
of
any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter
to Certificateholders, mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than
the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution.
Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final
distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
of
Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final
distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to the Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being
made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the
time
such notice is given to Certificateholders.
If
the
notice is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in the Certificate Account
to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the
Business Day before the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to
the
final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit
with
respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for
Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Servicer the
Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the final
Distribution Date and in the order stated in Section 4.02, in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of
the
same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates
(except the Class C Certificate), its Certificate Balance plus
for each
such Class accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing
Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, any amount remaining
on
deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet
claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. By acceptance of the
Residual Certificates, the holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, that their rights to receive any
amounts pursuant to clause (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence hereby
are
assigned and transferred and, to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the holders of the Class C
Certificates.
If
any
affected Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificates for cancellation
within six (6) months after the date specified in the above mentioned written
notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six (6) months after
the
second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an
agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If
within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Class Residual Certificateholders shall be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain
subject hereto.
Section 9.03 |
Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
If
the
NIM Insurer or the Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated
in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee
has
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer, to
the
effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on
any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii)
cause
any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the NIM Insurer or
the
Servicer, as applicable, and, within ninety (90) days of the sale, shall
distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of the sale in complete
liquidation of any REMIC created hereunder.
The
Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for
each
of any REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the ninety (90) day liquidation period for
each the REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust
Fund to the NIM Insurer or the Servicer.
Section 9.04 |
Termination
of the Supplemental Interest
Trust.
|
The
obligations of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee created hereby with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust shall
terminate upon the earlier of:

the
termination of the Swap Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement;

the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIM Insurer and without the consent of
any
of the Certificateholders:
(i) to
cure
any ambiguity or mistake,
(ii) to
correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein
that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein,
(iii) to
conform this Agreement to the Prospectus Supplement,
(iv) to
add to
the duties of the Depositor, the Seller, or the Servicer,

or
(vii) to

of
Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the
Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder. The amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in
any
material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates. Any such letter in and
of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any amendment
and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any
rating. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will cooperate with each
other party in amending this Agreement pursuant to clause (v)
above.
(b) The
Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer also may, at any time and from time
to
time, amend this Agreement with the consent of the NIM Insurer and without
the
consent of the Certificateholders, in order to modify, eliminate or add to
any
of the provisions of this Agreement to the extent necessary or helpful
to:
(i) maintain
the qualification of any REMIC created under this Agreement under the
Code;
(ii) avoid
or
minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created under this
Agreement pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time before the
final redemption of the Certificates; or
(iii) comply
with any other requirements of the Code;
if
the
Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an
expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that the action is
necessary or helpful for one of those purposes.
(c) This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer,
and the Trustee with the consent of the NIM Insurer and the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
662/3%
of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates. No amendment shall:
(i) reduce
in
any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of the
Certificate;
(ii) adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent
of
the Holders of Certificates of the Class evidencing, as to the Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 662/3%;
(iii) amend,
modify, add to, rescind, or alter in any respect Section 10.13, notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, without the consent of the Holders
of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
662/3%,
and
for this purpose no Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor, or any
Affiliate of either of them shall be eligible to vote or be considered
Outstanding; or
(iv) reduce
the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required
to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement regarding Voting Rights, no amendment
which affects one or more Classes held by the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Seller or any Affiliates as described in this Section 10.01(c) shall be
effective without the consent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller or
any
of their Affiliates, as applicable, to such amendments.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall have first received an Opinion
of Counsel satisfactory to the NIM Insurer, which opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that the amendment
will
not cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders
or
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding and (ii) because the Trust Fund is required to be a Qualifying
Special Purpose Entity (as that term is defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 140 (“SFAS
140”)),
in
order for the Seller to continue to account for the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans under this Agreement as a sale under SFAS 140, prior to the parties hereto
entering into such an amendment, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s
Certificate, which shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund,
to
the effect that such amendment would not “significantly change” (within the
meaning of SFAS 140) the permitted activities of the Trust Fund so as to cause
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a Qualifying Special Purpose
Entity.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 10.01, none of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee or the Trustee shall enter
into any amendment to the following: the following defined terms that appear
in
Section 1.01: Net Swap Payment, Swap LIBOR and Trigger Event; the second
paragraph of Section 4.02(I); Section 4.02(V) ; Section 4.05; or Section 9.01
of
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap
Provider.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance or a copy of the amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating
Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if the consent approves its substance. The manner of obtaining
consents and of evidencing the authorization of their execution by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
receiving an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the NIM Insurer (which Opinion
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to
the
Trustee that (i) the amendment is permitted by this Agreement and all conditions
precedent to the amendment have been satisfied; and (ii) either (A) the
amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any
Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion in the preceding clause (A) is not
required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.
Section 10.02 |
Recordation
of Agreement; Counterparts.
|
This
Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
property records in all the counties or 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, the recordation to
be
effected by the Servicer at its expense, but only upon receipt of an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that the 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 an original, and all of
which shall constitute but one instrument.

Governing
Law.
|
THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE

IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH

Section 10.04 |
Intention
of Parties.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor
to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a
pledge thereof. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
assets are held to be the property of the Seller or Depositor, as the case
may
be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a
security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code
of
the State of New York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant (i) by the Seller to the
Depositor or (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The
Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the NIM Insurer and the
Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would
be
deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The
Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation
statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to
the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 10.05 |

withdrawal of the ratings then assigned by the Rating Agencies to the NIM
Notes.

INABS 20__-[ ]
Representations
and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans
IndyMac
Bank, F.S.B. (“IndyMac”)
hereby
makes the representations and warranties in this Schedule III to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable), or if so specified herein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date or
date of origination of the Mortgage Loan (as applicable). Capitalized terms
used
but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling
and Servicing Agreement”)
relating to the above-referenced Series, among IndyMac, as Seller and Servicer,
IndyMac ABS, Inc., as Depositor, and [Trustee], as Trustee [and Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee].
(1) The
information on Schedule I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects as of the
Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable).
(2) As
of the
Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable), all regularly
scheduled monthly payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan up to and
including the Due Date before the applicable Cut-off Date have been made; and
as
of the applicable Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan had a regularly scheduled
monthly payment that was 30 or more days Delinquent during the twelve months
before the applicable Cut-off Date.
(3) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first
lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent
current real property taxes and assessments and liens or interests arising
under
or as a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances and, if the related
Mortgaged Property is a unit in a condominium project or planned unit
development, any lien for common charges permitted by statute or homeowner
association fees, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of
such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being generally acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions in the area wherein the related Mortgaged Property
is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with
the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters to which
like properties are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with
the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
(4) Immediately
before the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, the Seller had
good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear
of
any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and had full right and
authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any
other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(5) As
of the
date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, there was no delinquent tax or
assessment lien against the related Mortgaged Property.
(6) There
is
no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or
interest on such Mortgage Note.
(7) There
are
no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property that are or may be a lien before, or equal with, the lien
of
such Mortgage, except those that are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in item (11) below.
(8) No
Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by water, fire, earthquake,
windstorm, flood, tornado or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the
presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, as to which the Seller
makes no representation) so as to affect adversely the value of the related
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.
(9) Each
Mortgage Loan and prepayment penalty associated with the Mortgage Loan at
origination complied in all material respects with applicable federal, state
and
local laws, including usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement
procedures, truth-in-lending, Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994,
applicable predatory and abusive lending and disclosure laws, or any
noncompliance does not have a material adverse effect on the value of the
related Mortgage Loan.
(10) As
of the
Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable), the Seller has not
modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Mortgage Loan
may
have been modified by a written instrument that has been recorded or submitted
for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and that has been delivered to the Trustee); satisfied,
cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released the
related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such Mortgage;
or executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification or
satisfaction with respect thereto.
(11) A
lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal to
the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance or Subsequent Cut-off Date Principal Balance,
as
applicable, of each Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same
was
effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy
is valid and remains in full force and effect.
(12) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Exchange Act) by an entity that satisfied at the time of origination the
requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the Exchange Act.
(13) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements that were included for
the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property, unless such failure to be wholly within such boundaries and
restriction lines or such encroachment, as the case may be, does not have a
material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property.
(14) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each Mortgage
Loan, no improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is
in
violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation unless such violation
would
not have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged
Property. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions
of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the
same, including certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates,
have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack
thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged
Property.
(15) 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 and under applicable law.
(16) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder.
(17) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions that render
the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against
the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(18) With
respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are
or will become payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed
of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(19) As
of the
applicable Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are
covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally
acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage
for
such other hazards as are customarily required by institutional single family
mortgage lenders in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and the
Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon have
not
been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all
such
insurance including flood insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense.
Anything to the contrary in this item (19) notwithstanding, no breach of this
item (19) shall be deemed to give rise to any obligation of the Seller to
repurchase or substitute for such affected Mortgage Loan or Loans so long as
the
Servicer maintains a blanket policy pursuant to the second paragraph of Section
3.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(20) If
at the
time of origination of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was
in
an area then identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy
in a
form meeting the then-current requirements of the Flood Insurance Administration
is in effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable
carrier.
(21) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a
proceeding currently occurring.
(22) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material event that, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller
has
not waived any material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(23) Each
Mortgage File contains an Appraisal Form 1004 of the related Mortgaged
Property.
(24) Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a stated term at least as long
as
the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(25) Each
Mortgage Loan was selected from among the outstanding one- to four-family
mortgage loans in the Seller’s mortgage portfolio at the Closing Date (or
Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable) as to which the representations and
warranties made with respect to the Mortgage Loans in this Schedule III can
be
made. No such selection was made in a manner intended to adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders.
(26) None
of
the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I and none of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group
II are cooperative loans.
(27) [Reserved.]
(28) [Reserved.]
(29) No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms
are defined in the then-current version of Standard & Poor's LEVELS®

seq.). No Mortgage Loan secured by owner occupied real property or an owner
occupied manufactured home located in the state of Georgia was originated (or
modified) on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003.
No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Risk Home Loan” as defined in the Illinois High-Risk
Home Loan Act effective January 1, 2004 (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et
seq.).
(31) None
of
the Mortgage Loans is a “high cost” loan, “covered” loan or any other similarly
designated loan as defined under any state, local or federal law, as defined
by
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.

of
the Mortgage Loans that are secured by property located in the State of Illinois
are in violation of the provisions of the Illinois Interest Act.
(33) Each
Mortgage Loan has been underwritten and serviced substantially in accordance
with the Seller’s guidelines, subject to such variances as the Seller has
approved.
(34)
No
proceeds from any Mortgage Loan underlying the Certificates were used to finance
single-premium credit insurance policies.

Protection Act of 1994 and no mortgage loan is in violation of any comparable
state law.
(36) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I, each Mortgage Loan had a
principal balance at origination that conformed to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac
guidelines.
(37) The
Servicer has fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act
and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e.,
favorable and unfavorable) on the credit files for the related Mortgagor for
each Mortgage Loan to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information
Company on a monthly basis.
(38) With
respect to any mortgage loan in Loan Group I underlying the Security that
contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior
to maturity: (a) prior to the mortgage loan’s origination, the borrower agreed
to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited
to
a rate or fee reduction; (b) prior to the mortgage loan’s origination, the
borrower was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not
require payment of such a premium; (c) the prepayment premium is adequately
disclosed to the borrower pursuant to applicable state and federal law; (d)
no
subprime loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 underlying the Security
will impose a prepayment premium for a term in excess of three years and any
loans originated prior to such date, and any non-subprime loans, will not impose
prepayment penalties in excess of five years; in each case unless the loan
was
modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the
date of the note and the borrower was notified in writing of such reduction
in
prepayment period; and (e) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the
contrary, the servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance
when the mortgage loan is accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout
of a delinquent mortgage or due to the borrower’s default.
(39) With
respect to each mortgage loan in Loan Group I originated on or after August
1,
2004 and underlying the Certificates, neither the related Mortgage nor the
related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagors to submit to arbitration to
resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the related
mortgage loan transaction.
(40) With
respect to each mortgage loan in
Loan
Group I underlying
the Security, 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.
(41) With
respect to each
mortgage loan in
Loan
Group I
underlying the Security, the mortgage loan’s originator offered the borrower
mortgage loan products offered by such mortgage loan’s originator, or any
affiliate of such mortgage loan’s originator, for which the borrower
qualified.
(42) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each mortgage
loan
in
Loan
Group I
employs
objective mathematical principles which relate the borrower’s income, assets and
liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does
not
rely on the extent of the borrower’s equity in the collateral as the principal
determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting
methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval)
the
borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the mortgage
loan.
(43) No
borrower under a mortgage loan in
Loan
Group I
was
charged “points and fees” in an amount greater than (a) $1,000 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 the origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys’
fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports,
surveys, title examinations 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.
(44) All
points, fees and charges (including finance charges), and whether or not
financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the
origination and servicing of each mortgage loan in
Loan
Group I,
have
been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and regulation.

The

hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record
Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution
Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions
to

mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing

at the location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final

The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the NIM Insurer
and
the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite
Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the office or agency maintained by the Trustee, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is

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 Class R Certificate or Class R-X
Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”),
relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among IndyMac ABS, Inc., as
depositor (the “Depositor”),
IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., as seller and servicer and [Trustee], as trustee [and
supplemental interest trust trustee]. Capitalized terms used, but not defined
herein or in Annex 1, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account.
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 Transferee
furnishes to such Person an affidavit that such 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 the Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement (attached hereto as
Annex 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal
consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate
including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and
the
provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee
expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section
5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the
Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of
the
representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee
contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit J 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’s taxpayer identification number is ________________.
8. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).
9. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain
liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or
collection of tax. 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.
10. Transferee
has historically paid the Transferee’s debts as they become due, and Transferee
intends, and believes that the Transferee will be able, to continue to pay
Transferee’s debts as such debts become due in the future. Transferee has a
valid business purpose for purchasing the Residuals.
11. Transferee
is not a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning
of an
applicable income tax treaty) (a “Foreign
Base”)
of a
U.S. taxpayer. In addition, the Transferee will not (a) transfer the Class
R
Certificates, directly or indirectly, to a Foreign Base, and (b) cause income
from the Class R Certificates to be attributable to a Foreign Base of the
Transferee or another U.S. taxpayer.
12. Either:
(a)
(i)
At the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the Transferee's two
fiscal years preceding the Transferee's fiscal year of transfer, the
Transferee's gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million
and its net assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the gross assets and net assets of a
Transferee do not include any obligation of any Related Person or any other
asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the other asset is to
permit the Transferee to satisfy the conditions of this paragraph 12(a); and
(ii) the Transferee is an Eligible Corporation and hereby agrees that any
subsequent transfer of the interest will be to another Eligible Corporation
in a
transaction that satisfies this Transfer Affidavit, including this paragraph
12(a). For the purpose of this affidavit, the term “Eligible
Corporation”
means
any domestic C corporation (as defined in section 1361(a)(2) of the Code) other
than a corporation which is exempt from, or is not subject to, tax under section
11 of the Code, an entity described in section 851(a) or 856(a) of the Code,
a
REMIC or an organization to which part I, subchapter T, chapter 1, subtitle
A of
the Code applies, and the term “Related
Person”
means
any person that bears a relationship to the Transferee enumerated in section
267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using "20 percent" instead of "50 percent"
where it appears under the provisions; or is under common control (within the
meaning of section 52(a) and (b) of the Code) with the Transferee;
or
(b)(i)
The
Transferee is a United States Person; and (ii) the present value of the
anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest does
not exceed the sum of: (A) the present value of any consideration given to
the
Transferee to acquire the interest, (B) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest and (C) the present value of the anticipated
tax
savings associated with holding the interest as the REMIC generates losses.
For
purposes of calculating the aforementioned present values: (i) the transferee
has assumed that it pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax
specified in Code Section 11(b)(1) (unless 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, in which case the Transferee can assume that
it
pays tax at the rate specified in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code (provided,
that the Transferee states in this Transfer Affidavit that it is using such
alternate rate and that 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) the Transferee uses a discount rate equal to the Federal short-term rate
prescribed by section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and
the
compounding period used by the Transferee.
13. The
Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit of the transferor that
the
Transferee intends to pay any tax associated with holding the Ownership Interest
as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in
excess of any cash flows generated by its Ownership Interest.
14. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan
that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on
behalf of or using plan assets of such a plan.
In
Witness Whereof,
the
Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant
to
authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its
corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this ____ day of
__________________, 20__.

the trust and one or more U.S. Persons have authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust; or (vi) to the extent provided in Treasury regulations,

Annex
2
to
Exhibit
I
Section
5.02 (c) of the Agreement
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee (with
a
copy of any such notice to the NIM Insurer) of any change or impending change
in
its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
to
be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall
have
been furnished with an affidavit (a copy of which shall be provided to the
NIM
Insurer) (a “Transfer
Affidavit”)
of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form of Exhibit I (subject
to
the limitations with respect thereto as set forth in Section
5.02(b)).
(iii) Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5.02(b), each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall
agree:
(A)
to
obtain
a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate;
(B)
to
obtain
a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee,
trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate;
and
(C)
not
to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person
if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and
void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported
transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of
this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time
it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate in this Section 5.02(c)
shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual
Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery
to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be
an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller, the NIM Insurer or the
Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause
the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or any other Person. The Opinion of Counsel shall
be
accompanied by written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal
of
the restriction will not cause the Rating Agency to downgrade its ratings of
the
Certificates. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that,
based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary
(a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in,
a
Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel
the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
