This
POOLING AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2010 (the “Agreement”), by and between
SEQUOIA RESIDENTIAL FUNDING, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as
trustee (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and at the Closing
Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and related property being conveyed by
the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust
Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the
Certificates from the Trustee as consideration for the Depositor’s transfer to
the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans, and the other property constituting the
Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and
delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the
Mortgage Loans and the related property constituting the Trust
Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and in this Agreement
and by the Depositor and the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and the other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the
Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor and the
Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust
Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund be treated for
federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the
“Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively). Each Certificate, other than the
Class R Certificate and the Class LT-R Certificate, is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. The
Class R Certificate represents and is hereby designated as the sole class of
residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Class
LT-R Certificate evidences ownership of the sole class of residual interest in
the Lower-Tier REMIC (the “LT-R Interest”). The Lower-Tier REMIC
shall hold as its assets all property of the Trust Fund, other than the
interests in any REMIC formed hereby. Each Lower-Tier Interest other
than the LT-R Interest shall be uncertificated and is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC and the LT-R Interest is hereby
designated as the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the Lower-Tier
Interests other than the LT-R Interest.
The
Lower-Tier REMIC Interests

a claim is presented for an amount that, when combined with the amount of prior
claims paid during that year, would exceed $300,000, then only a portion of such
claim will be paid that will make the total amount paid during that year equal
to $300,000 and the excess remaining unpaid, together with any additional claims
received during that year, will be deferred until the following anniversary year
and if the total amount of such deferred claims exceeds $300,000 then payment in

Mortgagor.

of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodian shall perform the
applicable review of the related Mortgage Loans and respective certifications as
provided in the Custodial Agreement.

(a) The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for the benefit of the

Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws governing its creation and existence and has full corporate power
and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently
conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and
to create the trust pursuant hereto;
(ii) the
execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Depositor;
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of

of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or
order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
29
(iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of
any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental
authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken
prior to the date hereof;
(iv) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of the rights of creditors generally and (B) general principles of equity
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law;
(v) there
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Depositor, threatened or likely to be asserted, against or affecting the
Depositor, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or

this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in the judgment of
the Depositor will be determined adversely to the Depositor and will if
determined adversely to the Depositor materially and adversely affect it or its
business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or adversely
affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) immediately
prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the
Depositor was the sole owner and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor
had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell
each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only to (1) liens of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the
related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges
permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the
lender’s title insurance policy or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of
title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan, and (3) such other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually
or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and
had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement;
(vii) This
Agreement creates either a sale or a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the UCC), in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Trustee, which
security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such

or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has
not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statement against
the Depositor that includes a description of the collateral covering the
Mortgage Loans other than a financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been
terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
filings against the Depositor;
(x)

Trustee.
30
The
foregoing representations made in this Section 2.03 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall not be waived by any party
hereto.
Section
2.04 Discovery of Seller Breach; Repurchase of Mortgage
Loans.
(a) Pursuant
to Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller has
(i) represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that, immediately prior to
its transfer of Mortgage Loans under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement, the Seller owned and had good, valid and marketable title to the
Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person
and
(ii) made certain other representations and warranties with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, and each of the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the
Mortgage Loans (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans) included in
the Trust Fund satisfy such representations and warranties. The
Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, hereby
assigns any rights it has against the Seller with
respect to such representations and warranties to the Trustee, and
the Seller acknowledges that it has agreed to comply with the provisions of this
Section 2.04 in respect of a breach of any of such representations and
warranties.
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement shall survive
delivery of the Trustee Mortgage Files and the sale and assignment of each
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this
Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Seller of the
breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan, which materially
adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) (each of such parties hereby
agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such
parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor in
writing of such breach and request that the Depositor cure or cause the cure of
such breach within 90 days from the earlier of the date that the Depositor
discovered or was notified of such breach, and if the Depositor does not cure or
cause the cure of such breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Sale Agreement to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of
such 90-day period (subject to Section 2.04(b) below); provided, however, that, in
connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within
such 90-day period, the Seller shall be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan
no later than 120 days after its discovery or notice of such breach,, and
provided further, that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the
previous provisions of this paragraph, the Seller shall be required to
repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date the defect
was discovered. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its
designee, upon receipt of written certification of such deposit, shall release
to the Seller, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to the Trustee and
as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee
shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for its intended purpose). It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure, to cause the cure of or to repurchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission,
defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.04, to the extent not
reimbursed by the Seller, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the
limitation in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution
Amount.
(b) The
Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor
and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the
Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with
the terms of this Section 2.04 and the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC
Event.
31
Section
2.05 Obligations in respect of Alleged Breach of
Originator Representations and Warranties.
(a) If
the Controlling Holder has notified the Trustee that it will not pursue an
action in respect of an alleged breach by the Originator of a representation and
warranty set forth in Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement relating to the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, then the Trustee will pursue such action
only upon its receipt of (i) written direction to do so by the
Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Interests of the Class A-1 and Class
A-IO Certificates and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take
such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee, and to provide any indemnification reasonably
requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the
Trustee shall seek reimbursement for the Trustee's costs and expenses from the
Originator under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee
recovers any such costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay
such amounts to the Certificateholders that had provided funds to the Trustee
pursuant to the agreement described in clause (ii) above. Costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall not be
reimbursed by the Trust Fund.
(b) If
there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, the Trustee shall review or
cause to be reviewed each Mortgage Loan that has been Delinquent for more than
120 days, other than any such Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a previous
arbitration proceeding under the Servicing Agreement, to review
whether there is evidence of any breaches of the representations and warranties
given by the Originator or Seller occurred. The Trustee may engage a
third party or Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., to perform such review and report its
findings to the Trustee. Any such review shall include, at a minimum,
a review as to whether the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
Originator's underwriting standards in effect at the time of origination,
whether the Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with all applicable laws
and regulations, and whether any fraud may have occurred in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. If as a result of such
review, there is evidence that a breach of representation or warranty may have
occurred requiring the Originator or Seller to repurchase the related Mortgage
Loan, then the Trustee will enforce such repurchase obligation, including
participating in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Servicing Agreement
if necessary. Any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), to the extent not reimbursed by the Originator
or Seller, as applicable, within ninety days of a written request from the
Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in
clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount. In
connection with any such action against the Originator, the Trustee shall seek
reimbursement for the Trustee's fees, costs and expenses from the Originator
under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee recovers
any such fees, costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay such
amounts to the Trust Fund.
(c) Furthermore,
if there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, except as otherwise
specified in Section 2.05(b), the Trustee will pursue an action in respect of an
alleged breach by the Originator of a representation and warranty set forth in
Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement relating to the characteristics of the
Mortgage Loans, only upon its receipt of (i) written direction
to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of
the Certificates and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take
such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee, and to provide any indemnification reasonably
requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the
Trustee shall seek reimbursement for the Trustee's costs and expenses from the
Originator under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee
recovers any such costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay
such amounts to the Certificateholders that had provided funds to the Trustee
pursuant to the agreement described in clause (ii) above. Costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05(c), to the extent
not reimbursed by the Originator or the applicable Certificateholders, shall be
reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (B) of the
definition of Available Distribution Amount.
32
(d) If the Originator has breached a
representation under the Servicing Agreement stating that a Mortgage Loan is a
"qualified mortgage" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) and the Originator
fails to repurchase such non-qualified Mortgage Loan within ninety days from the
date the defect was discovered, the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to sell such Mortgage Loan for its fair market value, as determined by
the Depositor and which may be less than its outstanding principal balance,
within ninety days from the date the defect was discovered. The
Trustee will release the applicable Mortgage Loan upon receipt of the sale price
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a)
hereof.
Section
2.06 Intention of Parties.
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended by each of the parties
hereto that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan or other obligation, so that the Trustee
shall be the owner of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the holders of the
Certificates.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to be the property of the
Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
a security interest in the Trust Fund, then (a) this Agreement shall constitute
a security agreement, and (b) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall
be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of, and the Depositor
hereby grants to the Trustee, to secure all of the Depositor’s obligations
hereunder, a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (i) the Mortgage
Loans, (ii) all other property in the Trust Fund, (iii) all accounts, chattel
paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments,
investment property, letter of credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil,
gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the
foregoing, and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable 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 a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law
and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement. The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial
filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or
filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to
be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary
to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the
relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Fund,
including without limitation (i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (A) any change of name of the Seller, the
Depositor or the Trustee, (B) any change of location of the Seller or the
Depositor, or (C) any change under the relevant UCC or other
applicable laws. Neither of the Seller nor the Depositor shall
organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each
is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of
organization or organizing under the laws of an additional jurisdiction) without
giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and
intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such
change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of
organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any
financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of
the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee,
in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Depositor authorizes
its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph
(b).
33
Section 2.07 Controlling Holder Purchase Right
and Assumption of Servicing Agreement Rights
(a) The
Controlling Holder may, at its option, purchase from the Trust Fund any Mortgage
Loan that is 120 days or more Delinquent for a purchase price, determined in
accordance with guidelines adopted by the Controlling Holder, to be the then
fair market value of such Mortgage Loan at the time of purchase, provided that
at the time of repurchase the Mortgage Loan remains Delinquent. Upon
receipt of such purchase price from the Controlling Holder, the Trustee shall
release the applicable Mortgage Loan to the Controlling Holder in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a) hereof
(b) By
its purchase of the applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates, the
Controlling Holder assumes the rights of the Trustee as “Purchaser”
under the Servicing Agreement as set forth in Section 12(a) of the
Acknowledgement and shall be entitled to exercise such rights in its sole
discretion. The Depositor, the Controlling Holder and each other
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of any Certificate or any beneficial
ownership interest therein, each acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
Controlling Holder may exercise such rights in such a manner that may not be in
the best interests of all of the Certificateholders, (ii) the Trustee shall have
no liability with respect to any acts or omissions of the Controlling Holder in
the exercise of such rights, and (iii) the Trustee shall have no duty or
obligation to exercise any such rights in the place or stead of the Controlling
Holder (so long as there is a Controlling Holder) or to monitor or oversee the
exercise of any such rights by the Controlling Holder.
(c) The
Trustee shall cooperate with the Controlling Holder as may be reasonably
necessary for the Controlling Holder to exercise its rights hereunder and under
the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.05, the Trustee shall not be required to take
any legal action or participate in or facilitate any arbitration
proceeding or other litigation relating to the Mortgage Loans or the obligations
of the Originator or Servicer with respect thereto unless and until it is
directed in writing by the Controlling Holder and it is assured of the recovery
of its expenses from the Controlling Holder.
(d) The
Controlling Holder shall indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and
against any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the
Trustee (without negligence or willful misconduct on its part) with respect to
claims of a third party arising from any act or omission of the Controlling
Holder in the exercise of its rights as Controlling Holder hereunder and under
the Servicing Agreement.
(e)
If the Controlling Holder transfers its ownership
interest in any Class of Certificates in a manner resulting in there being no
Controlling Holder under this Agreement, it shall so notify the
Trustee. If the Depositor has actual knowledge that there is no
Controlling Holder under this Agreement, it shall so notify the
Trustee.
ARTICLE
III
THE
CERTIFICATES
Section
3.01 The Certificates.
(a) The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities
governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC. The Certificates will be
evidenced by one or more certificates, ownership of which will be held in the
minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount
specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement and in integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof, or in the Percentage Interests specified in
the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, as applicable.
34
(b) The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee. Each Certificate
shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the
order of the Depositor upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee as described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer
of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon
any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(c) The
Class B-3, Class B-4, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates are offered and sold
in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and shall be issued with the applicable legends set forth in
Exhibit A. The Class-B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates shall be issued
initially as Book-Entry Certificates and the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates
shall be issued only as Definitive Certificates.
Section
3.02 Registration.
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and the Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as,
initial Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain
books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the
“Certificate Register”). The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust
company to act as successor Certificate Registrar. A registration
book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The
Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor
may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in
Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written
instrument delivered to the Holders, any bank or trust company to act as
co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe;
provided, however, that
the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Section
3.03 Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will
evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall
be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.
35
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or
subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the
restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees
that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a
“qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with
a certificate in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto and has furnished to the
Certificate Registrar a certificate of the transferee in the form of Exhibit E-2
hereto; and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person
all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor
who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.
(d) (i) No transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be
made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on
behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit G hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from
such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will
not constitute or result in prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate
or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise,
counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the
effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a
Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the
assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Transferee of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to
have made the representations set forth in Exhibit G. The preparation
and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the
Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall have
no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The
Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent
shall have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to
recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a
Plan or a Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a
Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted 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 Holder of such
Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of, or an entity
holding “plan assets” of, a Plan.
36
(ii) If any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, then upon receipt by the Certificate
Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate was not permitted by this Section 3.03(d), the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that ERISA-Restricted Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the
purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose
acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or interest therein,
was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall
indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or
expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or
holding.
(e) As
a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the
Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No
service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration,
transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that
holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the
Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or
successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such
person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a
“Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).
Prior to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to
the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, an affidavit in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting,
among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization,
an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”),
and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an
affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In
addition, the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to)
require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the
proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed
transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register
of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for
any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making
any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section
3.03(f), unless a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar shall have
actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or
other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any
subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any
payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the
Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder
of such Residual Certificate.
37
If any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted
by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any
payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit
described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
The
following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:

any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or
(ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the

Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been
acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of
any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Depositor or the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate

the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original
Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for

the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor, the
Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,

until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds
remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date

(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate
representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates,
except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates
have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to
Section 3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the
Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate

of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in
accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;

the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(iv) the

receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
40
(c) If
(i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Paying Agent in writing
that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Paying Agent or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not
less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the
Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates (each such event, a
“Book-Entry Termination”), the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing
Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing
Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate
Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

Section
5.01 Distributions Generally.
(a) Subject
to Section 7.01 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each
Distribution Date the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee shall make
distributions in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions shall be
made by check mailed to each Certificateholder’s address as it appears on the
Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request made
to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date by
any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount
of at least $1,000,000, or in the case of any Class of Interest-Only
Certificates or Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of not less than
100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in
the request and at the expense of such Certificateholder; provided, however, that the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s
Corporate Trust Office; provided, further, that the
foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long as
such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments
made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency
Participants. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder
requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related
distribution. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the
Certificates, each Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of
each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the
Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any
Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office. If any
payment required to be made on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is
not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.
(b) All
distributions or allocations made with respect to the Certificateholders within
each Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial
Class Principal Amounts or initial Class Notional Amounts (or Percentage
Interests).
44
Section
5.02 Distributions from the Distribution
Account.
(a) Subject
to Sections 5.02(b) and (c), on each Distribution Date, the Available
Distribution Amount, to the extent received by the Trustee, shall be withdrawn
by the Trustee from funds in the Distribution Account and allocated among the
Classes of Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates in the following
order of priority:
(i) To
the payment of the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest
Shortfalls on the Class A-1, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, pro rata, based on the amount
of interest to which each such Class is entitled and then to the Class A-IO
Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount for such date and Class and any
outstanding Interest Shortfalls for such date and Class;
(ii) Sequentially
to the Class LT-R Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the Class A-1
Certificates, in that order, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, until
their respective Class Principal Amounts have been reduced to zero;
(iii) to
the Class B-1 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding
Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;
(iv) to
the Class B-1 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the
aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal
Amount has been reduced to zero;
(v) to
the Class B-2 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding
Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;
(vi) to
the Class B-2 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the
aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal
Amount has been reduced to zero;
(vii) to
the Class B-3 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding
Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;
(viii) to
the Class B-3 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the
aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal
Amount has been reduced to zero;
(ix)
to the Class B-4 Certificates, the Interest Distribution
Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on
such date;
(x) to
the Class B-4 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the
aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal
Amount has been reduced to zero; and
(xi) To
the Class LT-R Certificates and the Class R Certificates, any remaining amount
of the Available Distribution Amount allocated as provided in Section
5.02(d).
(b) On
each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the
Available Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the remaining Senior
Certificates, first, to
pay the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest
Shortfalls and second,
to pay principal on a pro
rata basis (on the basis of their Class Principal Amounts), to the
remaining Senior Certificates (other than the Interest-Only
Certificates).
45
(c) Notwithstanding
the priority and allocation set forth in Section 5.02(a), if with respect to any
Class of Subordinate Certificates other than the Class B-1 Certificates on any
Distribution Date the sum of the Class Subordination Percentages of such Class
and of all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a higher
numerical Class designation than such Class is less than the Original Applicable
Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of principal shall be
made to any such Classes. The Subordinate Principal Distribution
Amount shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinate Certificates having
lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on the Class
Principal Amounts of the respective Classes immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in
Section 5.02(a) above.
(d) Amounts
distributed to the Residual Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(xi) on any
Distribution Date shall be allocated among the REMIC residual interests
represented thereby such that each such interest is allocated the excess of
funds available to the related REMIC over required distributions to the regular
interests in such REMIC on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the
Class LT-R Certificate shall be entitled to any amounts representing net gain
resulting from the sale of any REO Properties or other Liquidation Proceeds due
to the Residual Certificates with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(e) For
purposes of distributions of interest in Section 5.02(a) such distributions to a
Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made first, in respect of Current
Interest; and second,
in respect of Interest Shortfalls.
(f) Amounts
distributed to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificate) pursuant
to this Section shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower
Tier REMIC to the Upper Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower Tier REMIC regular
interests in accord with the distribution provisions for the Lower Tier REMIC
set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Section
5.03 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On
or prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall calculate the aggregate
Realized Losses for such Distribution Date based on the information with respect
to losses as reported to it by the Servicer.
(b) On
each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the principal portion of
Realized Losses as follows:
first, to the Classes of
Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class B-4 Certificates and ending with the
Class B-1 Certificates) until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class is
reduced to zero; and
second, to each Class of
Senior Certificates (other than the Interest-Only Certificates) (allocated among
the Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis), in each case, until the Class

Certificateholders and take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 6.02(iv) and
6.02(vi).
47
(c) The

to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates as provided in Section

all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure by the

Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Holders of the
Certificates and this Agreement;
(iii) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee (regardless of the
capacity in which it is acting) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise

grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against

Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Controlling Holder.

Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint,
claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Corporate

knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee
to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates is
a Mortgaged Property.
(e) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which

or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment of
its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the

time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the

provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of its duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this

shall give the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall
have knowledge thereof;
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without the
prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
The
indemnification obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the
discharge of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trustee
and Certificate Registrar.
Section

Custodian.
(a) As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to

hereunder and shall not be entitled to any other payment or reimbursement from

Section
6.14 Events of Default; Trustee To Act; Appointment of
Successor.
(a) If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (a) of
Section 14.01 of the Servicing Agreement) shall occur, then, in each and every
case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not
have been remedied within any period of time as prescribed under the Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee may, and if so directed in writing by Certificateholders
evidencing either (i) more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class
Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates, or (ii) 50% of the aggregate
Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates, shall terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that in
the case of the preceding clause (ii), the Trustee shall provide written notice
to all of the Certificateholders within two Business Days of receiving such
direction and shall not terminate the Servicer if, within 30 days of sending
such written notice, the Trustee has received contrary instructions from
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of
the Certificateholders.
If an Event of Default described in
clause (a) of Section 14.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall occur, then the
Trustee, by notice in writing to the Servicer, shall terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, unless any waiver
described under Section 6.16 shall have been obtained.
When a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agency of the
nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee shall promptly
give written notice to the Servicer of a default under the Servicing Agreement
if (a) the Servicer fails to pay any Monthly Advance owed on any Servicer
Remittance Date when due, (b) the Servicer fails to remit payments owed on any
Servicer Remittance Date or (c) the Servicer fails to deliver Mortgage
Loan-level data when due.
Upon
termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement in connection with an Event of Default, the successor servicer shall
not be required to purchase or reimburse the terminated Servicer's advance
receivables under the Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, to the extent that the terminated Servicer and a successor servicer have
each made advances in respect of the same Mortgage Loan, recovered amounts shall
be used to reimburse the terminated Servicer and a successor servicer in the
order that such advances were made.
(b) On
and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination from the
Trustee or the Trustee receives the written resignation of the Servicer pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, unless another servicer shall have been
appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as such under the Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising
thereafter placed on the Servicer thereunder; provided, however, that any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s
failure to provide information required by the Servicing Agreement shall not be
considered a default by the Trustee thereunder and provided further, that it is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions of the
Servicer can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the
Trustee). In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
any act or omission of the Servicer other than any act or omission performed by
the Trustee if it assumes the obligations of the Servicer as a successor
Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the
representations and warranties of the Servicer set forth in Sections 6.01 or
6.02 of the Servicing Agreement. In the Trustee’s capacity
as successor servicer, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on
liability granted to the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement.
56
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, is a Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer and meeting such other standards for a successor
servicer as are set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as the
successor to such Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of a servicer, like the Servicer. Any entity
designated by the Trustee as a successor servicer may be an Affiliate of the
Trustee; provided,
however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and
other standards set forth herein for a successor servicer, the Trustee, in its
individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and
remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in
performing its duties under the Servicing Agreement.
The
Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to
be conducted under the Servicing Agreement which are not inconsistent herewith
or therewith. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall
be deemed to be in default hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
thereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to
deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the
failure of the Servicer to cooperate as required by the Servicing Agreement,
(iii) the failure of the Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the
Trustee as required by the Servicing Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by
any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer. No
successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder or under the
Servicing Agreement by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any distribution thereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Trustee to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to
it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee to cooperate as
required by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.
(d) In
connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor servicer, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. The
Trustee shall have the right to agree to compensation of a successor servicer in
excess of that permitted to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement if such
increase is necessary or advisable to engage a successor servicer.
Notwithstanding anything herein 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 and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer
to act as successor servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for therein. The Trustee may amend the Servicing
Agreement to effect this change to the Servicing Fee without the consent of the
Certificateholders.
(e) To
the extent that the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection
with any alleged or actual default by a Servicer, the termination of a Servicer,
any appointment of a successor servicer and/or any transfer and assumption of
servicing by the Trustee or any successor servicer with respect to the Servicing
Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and
all due diligence costs and expenses associated with the investigation of any
alleged or actual default by the Servicer, the evaluation of the potential
termination and/or the actual termination of the Servicer and the appointment of
a successor servicer and (ii) all Servicing Transfer Costs) are not fully and
timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, then (a) the successor Servicer
shall deduct such amounts from any amounts that it otherwise would have paid to
the predecessor Servicer in reimbursement of outstanding Advances and Servicing
Advances, and the successor Servicer shall reimburse itself and the Trustee for
any unreimbursed costs and expenses, and (b) if the Trustee is not required to
be reimbursed by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or if such
costs and expenses are not satisfied pursuant to clause (a) within 90 days, then
the Trustee and successor servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
costs and expenses from the Distribution Account, subject to the limitations
described in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution
Amount.
In
addition, any information about the Mortgage Loans acquired or obtained by Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Certificate Registrar under this Agreement
or as Custodian under the Custodial Agreement shall not be attributable to the
Trustee unless communication of that information to the Trustee is an express
duty of such person under this Agreement or the Custodial
Agreement.
57
Section
6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of
Default.
During
the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee shall have the right, in its own name and as
trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law,
in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
or the Servicing Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or
omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy
or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section
6.16 Waiver of Defaults.
More than
50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders may waive any
default or Event of Default by the Servicer in the performance of its
obligations under the Servicing Agreement, except that a default in the making
of any Advances or Servicing Advances pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or any
required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure of
the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the
Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected
Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section
6.17 Notification to Holders.
Upon
termination of the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Servicer
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice
thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall
also, within 45 days after the date when a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, give written
notice thereof to the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such
45-day period.
Section
6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class
Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or thereunder or in relation
hereto or thereto and (ii) the terminating of the Servicer or any successor
servicer from its rights and duties as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement)
at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; and, provided further, that,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an
Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is
not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the
non-assenting Certificateholders.
58
Section
6.19 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other
Reports.
(a) The
Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, based
upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to
instructions given by the Depositor, and the Trustee shall file federal tax
returns, all in accordance with Article IX hereof. If the Trustee is
notified in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then,
at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall prepare and file such
state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable
law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, and shall file
any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the
extent such documents are in the Trustee’s possession). The Trustee
shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099
supplemental tax information and such other information within the control of
the Trustee as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall
distribute to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information
within the control of the Trustee as are required by the Code and the REMIC
Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and distribute to
Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise
furnish information within the control of the Trustee) to the extent required by
applicable law.
(b) The
Trustee shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), on
behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder, an application for an
employer identification number on IRS Form SS-4 or by any other acceptable
method. The Trustee shall also file a Form 8811 as
required. The Trustee, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of
Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward a
copy of such notice to the Depositor. The Trustee shall furnish any
other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be
made available to the Certificateholders.
Section
6.20 Reporting to the Commission.
Each of
Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes”
or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The
Depositor hereby represents to the Trustee that the Depositor has filed all such
required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to

related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D
and no later than March 15th with
respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions
should be “no.” The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such
representations in preparing and/or filing any such report.
(a) Reports
Filed on Form 10-D.
(i)
Within 15 days after each
Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the
Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 10-D
required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange
Act. The Trustee shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related
Distribution Date Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in
addition to the Distribution Date Statement that is required to be included on
Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties
set forth on Exhibit L hereto to the Depositor and the Trustee and reviewed and
approved or disapproved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and
the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in
the next paragraph.
59
(ii) As
set forth on Exhibit L hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, (i) the parties set forth thereon shall be required to
provide to the Trustee (at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx,
with a copy by facsimile to 000-000-0000) and the Depositor, to the extent known
by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other
form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and
substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable together with an
additional disclosure notification in the form of Exhibit I hereto (an
“Additional Disclosure Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to
form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form
10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of the
Form 10-D to the Depositor for review. The Trustee will provide a
copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor by the 11th
calendar day after the related Distribution Date. On the 12th
calendar day after the related Distribution Date, the Depositor will provide any
changes or approval to the Trustee (which may be furnished
electronically). In the absence of receipt of any written changes or
approval, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in
final form and the Trustee may proceed with the filing of the Form
10-D. No later than the 13th
calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized
representative of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard
copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-D

the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in subsection (d)(ii) of this
Section 6.20. Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after

performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.20(a) related to
the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon
such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of
their duties. The Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure
results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange
for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(b) Reports
Filed on Form 10-K.
(i)
On or prior to the 90th
day after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust Fund or such earlier date as

understood that the fiscal year for the Trust Fund ends on December 31st of each
year), commencing in March 2011, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of
the Trust Fund any Form 10-K required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance

included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the
Accountant’s Attestation for each Reporting Servicer, as described in the

Accountant’s Attestation is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K,
disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report
is not included, and (iv) the certification required under Rule 13a-14(d)

Trustee, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any annual compliance
statement, Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation that is not
required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB). Any
disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required
to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be
reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit M hereto to the Depositor and the
Trustee and reviewed and approved or disapproved by the Depositor pursuant to
the following paragraph and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
except as set forth in the next paragraph.
60
(ii) As
set forth on Exhibit M hereto, no later than March 15 following each fiscal year
that the Trust Fund is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in March 2011, (i) the parties set forth on Exhibit M shall be
required to provide to the Trustee (at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
with a copy by facsimile to 000-000-0000) and the Depositor, to the extent known
by a responsible officer thereof, a notice in the form of Exhibit I hereto,
along with, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with any
applicable Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor
will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or information in the
Additional Disclosure Notification on Form 10-K. The Depositor will
be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or
information from the Additional Disclosure Notification in Form 10-K
pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of the
Form 10-K to the Depositor for review. Within three (3) business days of
receipt, but in no event later than March 25, the Depositor shall notify the
Trustee in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or
approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of any written changes or

securitization of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and related

later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will
make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K

acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section
6.20(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent
upon such parties (and the Custodian, the Servicer and any Additional Servicer
or Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties. The Trustee shall not have any
liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such
failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on
a timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange
for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(c) Reports

Within four (4)
Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K
(each such event, a “Reportable Event”), and if requested by the Depositor, the
Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as
required by the Exchange Act, provided that the

Disclosure Information”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit N
hereto to the Depositor and the Trustee and reviewed and approved or disapproved

61
(ii) As
set forth on Exhibit N hereto, for so long as the Trust Fund is subject to the
Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of business (New York
City time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event
(i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Trustee
(at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
with a copy by facsimile to 000-000-0000) and the Depositor, to the extent known
by a responsible officer thereof, a notice in the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto, along with, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise
agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Form
8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, together with an Additional
Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and
substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K
Disclosure Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection
with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this
paragraph. The Trustee has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or
enforce the performance by the parties listed in Exhibit N of their duties under
this paragraph and will not solicit or procure from such parties any Form 8-K
Disclosure Notification.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of the
Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. Promptly, but no later than the
close of business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, the
Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing (which may be furnished

the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trustee shall be
entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Trustee may
proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 8-K. No later than
noon (New York City time) on the 4th Business Day after the Reportable Event, a
duly authorized officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original executed hard
copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 8-K
cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended,
the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section
6.20(d). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing
with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a
final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the
Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.20(c) related to
the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties. The Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or
file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) Delisting;
Amendments; Late Filings.
(i)
On or prior to January 30, 2011,
unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, the Trustee shall, in accordance
with industry standards, prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with
respect to the Trust Fund under the Exchange Act (a “Form
15”). Subsequent to the filing of a Form 15, if the Depositor
determines that the Trust Fund has once again become subject to the Exchange Act
reporting requirements, then it shall promptly notify the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall recommence preparing and filing required Exchange Act
reports. Prior to January 30 of the following calendar year, the
Trustee shall, if directed to do so by the Depositor, in accordance with
industry standards, prepare and file a Form 15.
62
In connection with any direct offering
of Certificates by the Depositor, in an offering registered with the Commission,
subsequent to the filing of a Form 15 pursuant to the preceding paragraph: (i)
the Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing not less than 10 days prior to
the date on which such offering will be made; (ii) the Depositor shall cause to
be prepared and filed the initial current report on Form 8-K required to be
filed in connection with such offering; (iii) the Trustee, as directed by the
Depositor, shall file a report on Form 10-D for the Distribution Date following
the month in which such offering occurs and, thereafter, any reports on forms
8-K, 10-K and 10-D in respect of the Trust Fund as and to the extent required
under the Exchange Act, as set forth in this Section (other than the report
referred to in clause (ii) above); (iv) the Depositor shall be responsible for
notifying the other parties to the transaction of such offering and that the
obligations of such parties to provide information in connection with the
Depositor’s Exchange Act reporting requirements have been reinstated;
and (v) the Depositor shall be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses
incurred by the Trustee in connection with such offering, including its review
and approval of any offering document and any amendment to any transaction
document made in connection with such offering.
In the event that the Depositor directs
the Trustee to resume preparing and filing Exchange Act reports after a Form 15
has been filed with the Commission, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
additional compensation for such services from the Trust Fund, not to exceed
$30,000 per year, for any additional year for which Exchange Act reporting is
required to be done by the Trustee.
(ii) In
the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all or
any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this
Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it
or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or
for any other reason, the Trustee will promptly, but no later than within one
Business Day, notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of
Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and
file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A or 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule
12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee
will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the
approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on
the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K needs to be amended to include additional disclosure in connection
with any additional Form 10-D disclosure (other than for the purpose of
restating any Distribution Date Statement), additional Form 10-K or Form 8-K
disclosure information, the Trustee will electronically notify the Depositor and
the affected parties and the Trustee shall prepare and file, and such parties
will cooperate in the preparation and filing of any necessary Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A
or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a senior officer in charge of securitization of
the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.20(d) related to
the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to
Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties
under this Section. The Trustee shall not have any liability for any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the
Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or
file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall not file any Form 8-K, Form
10-D or Form 10-K as to which it has received from the Depositor a notice to the
effect that, upon review of the proposed filing, the Depositor does not approve
of such filing.

In
connection with the annual certification to be delivered by the Depositor
pursuant to Rules 13a-14d and 15d-14(d) of the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall
provide, and the Trustee shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged
by it to provide, to the Depositor, by March 15 following each year in which the
Trust Fund is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and
otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification
(each, a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J,
upon which the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates can
reasonably rely. In the event the Trustee or any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by the Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the
Depositor pursuant to this Section 6.20(e) with respect to the period of time it
was subject to this Agreement.

and the Trustee shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to
furnish or otherwise make available, at its own expense, to the Depositor, a
report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria (an
“Assessment of Compliance”) that contains (A) a statement by such party of its
responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria,
(B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s Assessment of
Compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year
covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 6.20(b),
including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature
and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm
has issued an Accountant’s Attestation on such party’s Assessment of Compliance
with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.
(b)
Promptly after receipt of each
Assessment of Compliance delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, (i) the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable,
consult with the Trustee, the Servicer, the Custodian and any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of
noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and (ii)
the Trustee shall confirm that the Assessments of Compliance, taken
individually, address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set
forth on Exhibit K in respect of the Trustee or Attachment 2 to the Servicing
Agreement in respect of the Servicer and notify the Depositor of any
exceptions. None of such parties will be required to deliver any such
assessments until March 30 in any given year so long as it has received written
confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in
respect of the Trust Fund for the preceding calendar year.
(c)
The Depositor shall enforce any obligation of the
Servicer and the Custodian, to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement
or the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, to deliver to the Trustee an
Assessment of Compliance within the time frame set forth in, and in such form
and substance as may be required pursuant to, the Servicing Agreement or the
Custodial Agreement, as applicable.
(d) The
Trustee's obligation to provide assessments of compliance and attestations under
this Section 6.21 and Section 6.22 shall terminate upon the filing of a Form 15
suspension notice on behalf of the Trust Fund, but shall become effective after
such a filing if the Trust is required to continue to file reports under the
Exchange Act as contemplated in Section 6.20(d)(i).
Section
6.22 Accountant’s Attestation.
(a) On
or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2011, the Trustee, at its
own expense, shall cause, and the Trustee shall cause any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public
accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Trustee, the
Servicer or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and
that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to
furnish a report (the “Accountant’s Attestation”) to the Depositor, to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to
whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly
stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion
regarding such party’s Assessment of Compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed,
such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was
unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for
general use and not contain restricted use language.
64
(b) Promptly
after receipt of each Accountant’s Attestations from the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties, (i)
the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with such
parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of
any of each such party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable
agreement, and (ii) the Trustee shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance
is coupled with an Accountant’s Attestation meeting the requirements of this
Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
(c) The
Depositor shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer and the Custodian, to the
extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, as
applicable, to deliver to the Trustee an attestation as may be required pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, as
applicable.
Section
6.23. Intention of the Parties and Interpretation;
Indemnification.
Each of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 6.20 and 6.21
of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the
provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act
(17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to
time and subject to such clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued
by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of
the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention
or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets,
advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB,
(c) the Trustee shall comply with the reasonable requests made by the Depositor
for delivery of such additional or different information as the Depositor may
determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, which information is available to the Trustee without unreasonable effort or
expense and within such timeframe as may be reasonably requested, and (d) no
amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the
parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of
the provisions of Regulation AB.
The
Trustee and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Trustee shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its Affiliates and each of their
directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and
all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon (a) any breach by such party of any of its obligations hereunder,
including particularly its obligations to provide any Assessment of Compliance
or Accountant’s Attestation required under Sections 6.21 and 6.22, respectively,
or any information, data or materials required to be included in any Exchange
Act report or (b) any material misstatement or material omission in any
Assessment of Compliance, Accountant’s Attestation delivered by it or by any
Servicing Function Participation engaged by it pursuant to this Agreement or any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K
Disclosure concerning the Trustee. If the indemnification provided
for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or its
Affiliates, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and its Affiliates, as
applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred
by such party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the
other. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.
65
Section
6.24. Inability to Perform or Bankruptcy of Deal
Party.
(a) If the
Servicer, Depositor or Seller or any other party with obligations,
responsibilities or duties related to this transaction (for the purposes of this
section only, a "Deal Party") ceases to exist, is judicially dissolved, files
for bankruptcy (either voluntarily or involuntarily), becomes subject to the
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
conservatorship or receivership, or otherwise becomes subject to any other
supervisory authority restricting its actions, or for any other reason is unable
to operate its business in the normal course and to the satisfaction of its
duties herein, any obligations or responsibilities of such Deal Party, including
but not limited to the obligation to file tax returns, indemnify other Deal
Parties or third-party beneficiaries, file UCC amendments or continuation
statements, or handle proceeds or other aspects resulting from the termination
of the Trust Fund, may be performed by the Trustee (with the exception of any
indemnification or reimbursement obligations) at the direction of more than 50%
of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders. If such
holders fail to provide the Trustee with timely direction, the Trustee shall not
be obligated to act.
(b) If
a Deal Party has ceased to act or exist in a manner as specified in (a) above,
has not yet been replaced, and is subsequently required to consent to any
amendment of any Transaction Document or any action performed pursuant to any
Transaction Document, such requirement shall be automatically waived with
regards to that party. If a Deal Party has ceased to act or exist in
a manner as specified in (a) above, has not yet been replaced, and is
subsequently required to consent to any action taken under any Transaction
Document, direct any action to be taken under any Transaction Document or
provide notice under any Transaction Document for any reason, such requirement
shall be performed by the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of
(a) above.
(c) If
any Deal Party that has any obligations, responsibilities or duties to the Trust
Fund under any agreement, including but not limited to repurchase obligations,
shall voluntarily or involuntarily file for bankruptcy, the Trustee on behalf of
the Holders shall protect the interest of the Trust Fund in relation to such
bankruptcy proceeding in such manner as the Trustee deems appropriate, including
but not limited to acting by and through the filing of proofs of claims and
other appropriate actions, claims or responses, in such court as the Trustee
shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.
(d) In
the event of dissolution, bankruptcy or any other event that results in the
inability of any Deal Party to perform its obligations or responsibilities under
this Agreement, such entity shall provide the Trustee and/or Servicer with such
limited powers of attorney as may be necessary to administer the Mortgage Loans
and Trust Fund. Such entity shall also ensure that any and all
records related to the origination and/or servicing of such Mortgage Loans are
preserved and transferred to the Trustee or Custodian.
(e) Any
costs, expenses or fees related to performing these functions (including but not
limited to fees of counsel and internal costs associated with personnel not
ordinarily engaged in the ordinary, ongoing duties of the Trustee) shall be
reimbursed from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 6.12, subject to
the limitations in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution
Amount. The Trustee may charge a reasonable and customary fee in
connection with performing, as necessitated by this Section 6.24, any
obligations, responsibilities or duties of another Deal Party under this
Agreement, and such fee shall be paid from the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 6.12, subject to the limitations in clause (B) of the definition of
Available Distribution Amount. If the Trustee reasonably believes
that its fees, expenses and costs relating to its actions under this Section
6.24 will exceed the amounts provided for in the definition of Available
Distribution Amount, it shall refrain from taking any such actions unless it has
received reasonable indemnity against such amounts from the party or parties
requesting such actions.

TERMINATION
OF THE TRUST FUND
Section
7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust
Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
66
(a) The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make payments to the Certificateholders as set
forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and
the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the distribution of proceeds in
connection with the exercise of the Clean-up Call pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement or this Agreement and (iii) the Distribution Date immediately
following the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s,
living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be
carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included
therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b)
In connection with an exercise of the Clean-up Call pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement or this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause each REMIC to adopt a plan
of complete liquidation by complying with the provisions of Section
7.03.
(c) The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from
the Clean-up Call Price for any Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans that
are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement
or the Custodial Agreement prior to distributions to any
Certificateholder.
(d) On
any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance is less than five
percent (5%) of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date,
Redwood Trust, Inc. or its successor may terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing
all of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
Loan for the Clean-up Call Price. Redwood Trust, Inc., or its
successor shall provide to the Trustee not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice of its intent to exercise its purchase and termination right
under this Section 7.01(d) and comply with the requirements of this Article VII
to effect a "qualified liquidation" under the REMIC
Provisions. Redwood Trust, Inc. is an express third party beneficiary
of this Agreement, and shall have the same power and ability to exercise and
enforce the rights stated to be provided to it hereunder as if it were a
signatory hereto. The Depositor and the Trustee hereby consent to
such exercise.
Section
7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption and Termination of Trust
Fund.
(a) If
on any Determination Date the Trustee determines that there are no outstanding
Mortgage Loans, and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
funds in the Distribution Account, the Trustee shall promptly send a final
distribution notice to each Certificateholder. Such notice shall
specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the
Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the
Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall
terminate.
Upon
termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall terminate the Distribution
Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such
payment.
(b) In
the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the termination
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 one year after
the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such
Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, subject to
applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to
such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall
accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a
Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with
this Section.
67
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any redemption or
termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds
received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.
Section
7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination
Requirements.
(a) Any
termination of the Trust Fund in connection with the Clean-Up Call or involving
any other sale of assets of the Trust Fund prior to the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund shall be
effected in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party exercising
any right of termination), addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the
failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03
will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i)
Within 89 days prior to the time of the
making of the final payment on the Certificates, upon notification that a party
intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf
of each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the
REMIC Provisions, in the form provided by the party exercising its termination
right in connection with a Clean-up Call or by the Depositor in connection with
any other termination of the Trust Fund;
(ii) Any
sale of the Mortgage Loans upon the exercise of a Clean-up Call shall be a sale
for cash and shall occur at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and prior to the time of making of the final payment on or
credit to the Certificates, and upon the closing of such a sale, the Trustee
shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver the assets to the purchaser
thereof as instructed by the Servicer;
(iii) On
the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Trustee shall make
final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance
with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding
expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the
Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment
(other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC)
shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In
no event may the final payment on or credit to the Certificates or the final
distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after
the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is
adopted.
(b) By
its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the Trustee under this
Section and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Servicer.

RIGHTS OF
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section
8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.
(a) The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding
in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of
them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Trustee or the
operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties
hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision
hereof.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or
with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given
to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless, except as otherwise specified
herein, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class
Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day
period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit
of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section
8.02 Access to List of Holders.
(a) If
the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar
will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing, a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record
Date.
(b) If
three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as
“Applicants”) apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during
the normal business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list
of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an
alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they
appear in the Certificate Register.
69
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee that neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section
8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where expressly required herein,
to the Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action
embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of
the Trustee, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by
it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the
others.
(b) The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing
may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the
certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such
execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date
of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the
individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the

ARTICLE
IX
REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
Section
9.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) REMIC
elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement shall be
made by the Trustee on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and
residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary
Statement to this Agreement.
70
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the
meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible
maturity date” for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.86OG-1(a)(4) will be the
Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) The
Trustee shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto. The Trustee shall pay any and all tax
related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited
to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties
hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Trustee
shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause
(i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the
Trustee shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by
Section 6.19 and this Section.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of each REMIC’s federal and
appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Trustee. In preparing such returns, the Trustee
shall, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder other than the Upper-Tier
REMIC (each such REMIC, a “Non-Upper-Tier REMIC”): (i) treat the
accrual period for interests in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as the calendar month;
(ii) account for distributions made from such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as made on
the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) use the aggregation
method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (iv) account for
income and expenses related to such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC in the manner resulting
in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder
of the residual interest in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC.
(e) The
Trustee or its designee 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 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 pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person
designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders
such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC
Provisions.
(f) The
Trustee and the Holders of Certificates shall, to the extent within their
knowledge and control, take such actions as may be necessary to maintain the
status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each
other as necessary to maintain such status. Neither the Trustee nor
the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause
any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or
not to take such action but not at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect
that the contemplated action (or inaction, as the case may be) will not endanger
such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition,
prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or
causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with
the Trustee its respective designee, in writing, with respect to whether such
action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC,
and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any
such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no
Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition
of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall
take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the
written consent of the Residual Certificateholders. The Trustee may
consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to
make such written advice, and the cost of the same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.
71
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To
the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the
Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any
such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in
the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders
of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.
(h) The
Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with
respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i)
No additional contributions of
assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(j)
The Trustee shall not enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
(k) The
Holder (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest
Percentage Interest) of the Class LT-R Certificate is hereby designated as “tax
matters person” with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Holder Class R
Certificate (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the
largest Percentage Interest) is hereby designated as “tax matters person” with
respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC and each such Holder shall be deemed by the
acceptance of its Certificate to have appointed the Trustee to act as its agent
to perform the duties of the “tax matters person” for each such
REMIC.
Section
9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither
the Depositor nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of
the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of
each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement or (iv) a repurchase of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets
for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition,
acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC
Event, (b) adversely affect the distribution of interest or principal
on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred
or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement).
Section
9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited
Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status.
Upon the
occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the
Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall
indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting
from such negligence; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or
inaction of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Holder of the Residual
Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
any of the foregoing parties on which the Trustee has
relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in
accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is
expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under the Servicing
Agreement or under the Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Trustee
of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or

The Pooling Agreement may be amended by
the Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be
conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with
respect to such Certificate. The Pooling Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the
Holders.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized
denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount
(or Notional Amount) will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in
the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but
the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates.
The Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2,
Class B-3, and Class B-4 Certificates are issuable only in registered form in
minimum denominations of
$100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in integral multiples of $1
in excess thereof and will
be registered in the name
of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates

Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less than 10% of
the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer may purchase all of the

Certificates. If this right is not exercised by the Servicer, an
affiliate of the Depositor and the Seller will have the option to purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund on any date on which the initial
Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less
than 5% of the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date.
In no event will the trust created by
the Pooling Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling
Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling Agreement.
The Depositor, the Trustee, and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor the Certificate Registrar nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement,
this Certificate and the Pooling Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict

On each Distribution Date, the Paying

Distributions on this Certificate will
be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the
immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears
on the Certificate Register or, upon written request, made to the Trustee at
least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any
Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount of at

any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the
expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a
wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the

Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry

conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such
Certificate. The
Pooling Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited
circumstances without the consent of the Holders.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a

denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or
Notional Amount) will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set
forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class
evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional
Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates.
The Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2,
Class B-3, and Class B-4 Certificates are issuable only in registered form in
minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in

This Certificate is one of a duly

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or
part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to
a Pooling Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2010 (the “Pooling Agreement”),
between Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), and
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions
and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling Agreement. The Certificates consist of
the following Classes: Class A-1, Class R, Class LT-R, Class A-IO, Class B-1,
Class B-2, Class B-3, and Class B-4.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying
Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution
Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling
Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each
Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the
outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount
(or Notional Amount) of each such Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will
be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the
immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears
on the Certificate Register or, upon written request, made to the Trustee at
least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any
Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount of at
least $1,000,000 or, in the case of a Class of Interest-Only Certificates and
any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the
expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a
wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as
defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply
to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate,
in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and
its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment
of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain
outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment
in full of all other amounts due with respects to the Residual Certificates and
at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office.
The Corporate Trust Office with respect
to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution
thereon or for any other purpose is the corporate trust office of the
Certificate Registrar at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx,

The Pooling Agreement may be amended by
the Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be
conclusive and binding upon
all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent
is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in
certain limited circumstances without the consent of the
Holders.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized
denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or
Notional Amount) will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in
the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange of Certificates.
The Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2,
Class B-3, and Class B-4 Certificates are issuable only in registered form in
minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal
Amount and in integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof and will be registered in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates through its
book-entry facilities. The Class A-IO Certificate is issuable
only in registered form
as a single Certificate
representing the entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will be registered in the name of
the nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates
through its book-entry facilities. The Class R, and Class LT-R Certificates will each be
issued as a single
Certificate representing the entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will
be maintained in physical form. The Certificates shall remain outstanding
until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.
7
On any date on which the Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less than 10% of
the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer may purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the
Certificates. If this right is not exercised by the Servicer, an
affiliate of the Depositor and the Seller will have the option to purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund on any date on which the initial
Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less
than 5% of the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date.
In no event will the trust created by
the Pooling Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling
Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling Agreement.
The Depositor, the Trustee, and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor the Certificate Registrar nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement,
this Certificate and the Pooling Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict
of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of
any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling
Agreement, the Pooling Agreement shall be controlling.

On each Distribution Date, the Paying

The Pooling Agreement may be amended by

adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting

further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be
conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu

Certificate. The
Pooling Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited
circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written

evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount)
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial
Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any
such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the

or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of

Class B-2, Class B-3, and Class B-4.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying

Distributions on this Certificate will

on the Certificate Register or, upon written request, made to the Trustee at
least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any

The Pooling Agreement may be amended by
the Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be
conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not consent is made with respect to such
Certificate. The
Pooling Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited
circumstances without the consent of the Holders.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of

Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the
same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the
Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates.
The Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2,
Class B-3, and Class B-4 Certificates are issuable only in registered form in
minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in

MORTGAGE TRUST 2010-H1
MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly
authorized issue of certificates designated as Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2010-H1
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or
part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to
a Pooling Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2010 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among
Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), and Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and
conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Pooling Agreement. The Certificates consist of the following
Classes: Class A-1, Class R, Class LT-R, Class A-IO, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class
B-3, and Class B-4.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying
Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution
Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling
Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each
Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the
outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount
(or Notional Amount) of each such Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will
be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the
immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears
on the Certificate Register or, upon written request, made to the Trustee at
least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any
Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount of at
least $1,000,000 or, in the case of a Class of Interest-Only Certificates and
any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the
expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a
wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as
defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply
to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate,
in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and
its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment
of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain
outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment
in full of all other amounts due with respects to the Residual Certificates and
at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office.
The Corporate Trust Office with respect
to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution
thereon or for any other purpose is the corporate trust office of the
Certificate Registrar at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Services -- Sequoia Mortgage Trust
2010-H1 or at such other address as the Trustee may designate from time to
time.

The Pooling Agreement may be amended by
the Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount
or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be
conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not consent is made with respect to such
Certificate. The
Pooling Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited
circumstances without the consent of the Holders.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the
same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the
Pooling Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates.
The Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2,
Class B-3, and Class B-4 Certificates are issuable only in registered form in
minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof and will be registered in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency,
which shall maintain such Certificates through its book-entry
facilities. The
Class A-IO Certificate is issuable only in registered form as a single Certificate representing the
entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will be registered in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates through its book-entry
facilities. The Class R, and Class LT-R Certificates will each be
issued as a single
Certificate representing the entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will be maintained
in physical form. The Certificates shall remain outstanding
until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.
7
On any date on which the Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less than 10% of
the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer may purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the
Certificates. If this right is not exercised by the Servicer, an
affiliate of the Depositor and the Seller will have the option to purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund on any date on which the initial
Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less
than 5% of the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date.
In no event will the trust created by
the Pooling Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling
Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling Agreement.
The Depositor, the Trustee, and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor the Certificate Registrar nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement,
this Certificate and the Pooling Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict
of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of
any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling
Agreement, the Pooling Agreement shall be controlling.
