THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of February
1,
2007, among CWALT, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”),
COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. (“Countrywide”), a New York corporation, as a
seller (a “Seller”), PARK GRANADA LLC (“Park Granada”), a Delaware limited
liability company, as a seller (a “Seller”), PARK MONACO INC. (“Park Monaco”), a
Delaware corporation, as a seller (a “Seller”), PARK SIENNA LLC (“Park Sienna”),
a Delaware limited liability company, as a seller (a “Seller”) COUNTRYWIDE HOME
LOANS SERVICING LP, a Texas limited partnership, as master servicer (the
“Master
Servicer”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a banking corporation organized under the
laws of the State of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH
THAT
WHEREAS,
the Depositor, Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco, Park Sienna, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as
of February 1, 2007 in connection with the issuance of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2007-4CB by Alternative Loan Trust CWALT 2007-4CB (the
“Original Agreement”);
WHEREAS,
the Original Agreement provides for the issuance of fifty-five Classes of
senior
certificates, including the Class 1-A-5 Certificates, which are exchangeable
for
the
Class
1-A-12, Class 1-A-13, Class 1-A-14, Class 1-A-18, Class 1-A-19, Class 1-A-20
and
Class 1-A-21 Certificates;
WHEREAS,
the Underwriter intended that the Original Agreement be structured to provide:
(i) for the issuance of two additional Classes of senior certificates designated
as the Class 1-A-43 and Class 1-A-44 Certificates, (ii) that the Class 1-A-5
Certficiates also would be exchangeable for the Class 1-A-43 and Class 1-A-44
Certificates and (iii) that any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
Loan
Group 1 that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A-43 Certificates
would
instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-44 Certificates, until its Class
Certificate Balance is reduced to zero;
WHEREAS,
the Underwriter failed to communicate its intended structure and the Original
Agreement was therefore mistakenly drafted;
WHEREAS,
the Depositor, Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco, Park Sienna, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee wish to amend the Original Agreement so that it
correctly reflects the Underwriter’s intended structure;
WHEREAS,
the Original Agreement provides, among other things, that the Original Agreement
may be amended by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and the
Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders to cure any mistake
in the
Original Agreement, and the mistake cured by this amendment constitutes such
a
mistake; and
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, the Underwriter owns a 100% interest in the Class
1-A-5
Certificates; and those Certificates have not been exchanged for any Class
of
Exchangeable Certificates;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trustee shall treat the Trust Fund as consisting of, among other things,
a trust
(the “ES Trust”) beneath which are three real estate mortgage investment
conduits (or in the alternative, the “Sub-WAC (SW) REMIC,” the “Strip (STR)
REMIC” and the “Master REMIC”) and shall make all elections as
necessary for such treatment. The SW REMIC will hold all the assets
of the Trust Fund and will issue several classes of uncertificated SW REMIC
Interests. The Class SW-A-R Interest is hereby designated as the
residual interest in the SW REMIC and each other SW REMIC Interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in the SW REMIC. The STR REMIC will
hold all of the regular interests in the SW REMIC and will issue several
classes
of uncertificated STR REMIC Interests. The Class A-R Interest is
hereby designated as the residual interest in the Master REMIC and each other
Master REMIC Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Master
REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold all the regular interests in the
Sub WAC REMIC and will issue several classes of uncertificated Master REMIC
Interests. The Class A-R Interest is hereby designated as the
residual interest in the Master REMIC and each other Master REMIC Interest
is
hereby designated as a regular interest in the Master REMIC. The
“latest possible maturity date,” for federal income tax purposes, of all REMIC
regular interests created hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date.
The
ES
Trust shall hold the SW-A-R Interest, the MR-A-R Interest, all Master REMIC
regular interests and shall issue the Certificates. Each Certificate,
other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or
more of
the Master REMIC regular interests held by the ES Trust. The Class
A-R Certificate will represent ownership of the SW-A-R Interest and the MR-A-R
Interest, which are, respectively, the sole Classes of REMIC residual interest
in each of the Sub WAC REMIC and the Master REMIC.
For
federal income tax purposes the Trustee shall treat the ES Trust as a Grantor
Trust and shall treat each Holder of an ES Trust Certificate as the owner
of the
individual, underlying assets represented by such ES Trust
Certificate. In addition, to the fullest extent possible, ownership
of an ES Trust Certificate shall be treated as direct ownership of the
individual, underlying assets represented by such ES Trust Certificate for
federal income tax reporting purposes.
The
ES
Trust, the Corridor Contracts, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Corridor
Contract Reserve Fund will not form part of any REMIC.

The
following table sets forth characteristics of the ES Trust Certificates,

|
The
Class SW-A-R Sub WAC REMIC Interest is the sole class of residual
interest
in the Sub WAC REMIC. It does not pay any interest or
principal.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be distributed with respect
to the
the Sub WAC REMIC Interests in the following manner:
(1)
|
Interest. Interest
is to be distributed with respect to each Sub WAC REMIC Interest
at the
rates, or according to the formulas, described
above.
|
21
(2)
|
Initial
Allocations of Realized Losses and
Principal.
|
|
(a)
|
The
Trustee shall first allocate the Realized Losses on the Group 1
Mortgage
Loans (including any reductions in previously allocated Realized
Losses on
the Group 1 Mortgage Loans attributable to any related Subsequent
Recoveries), and distribute the principal on the Group 1 Mortgage
Loans
between the SW-PO-1 Interests and the SW-1 Tracking Interests in
the same
manner that such amounts are allocated to or distributed between
(a) the
Class PO-1 Component of the Class PO Certificates and (b) the remaining
Group 1 Certificates and the Assumed Balance of the Class Certificate
Balance of each Class of Subordinated Certificates related to the
Group 1
Mortgage Loans.
|
|
(b)
|
The
Trustee shall first allocate the Realized Losses on the Group 2
Mortgage
Loans (including any reductions in previously allocated Realized
Losses on
the Group 2 Mortgage Loans attributable to any related Subsequent
Recoveries), and distribute the principal on the Group 2 Mortgage
Loans
between the Class SW-PO-2 Interest and the SW-2 Tracking Interests
in the
same manner that such amounts are allocated to or distributed between
(a)
the Class PO-2 Component of the Class PO Certificates and (b) the
remaining Group 2 Senior Certificates and the Assumed Balance of
the Class
Certificate Balance of each Class of Subordinated Certificates
related to
the Group 2 Mortgage Loans.
|
(3)
|
Subsequent
Allocations. Amounts allocated to the Tracking Interests of
each Group in accordance with Paragraph 2, above, shall be further
allocated as described below.
|
(4)
|
Principal,
if no Cross-Over Situation Exists. If no Cross-Over
Situation exists with respect to any Class of Tracking Interests,
Principal Amounts allocated with respect to each Loan Group’s Tracking
Interests in accordance with Paragraph 2, shall be further allocated:
first to cause the Loan Group’s corresponding Class A and Class B Tracking
Interests to equal, respectively, 0.90% of the Subordinated Portion
and
0.10% of the Subordinated Portion; and second to the Loan Group’s
corresponding Class C Tracking Interest;
|
(5)
|
Principal,
if a Cross-Over Situation Exists. If a Cross-Over Situation
exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Tracking
Interests:
|
|
(a)
|
If
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B
Tracking Interests is less than the Subordinate Pass-Through Rate,
Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the
outstanding Class A Tracking Interests prior to any other principal
distributions from each such Loan
Group.
|
|
(b)
|
If
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B
Tracking Interests is greater than the Subordinate Pass-Through
Rate,
Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the
outstanding Class B Tracking Interests prior to any other principal
distributions from each such Loan
Group.
|
In
each
case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause the Calculation
Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Tracking Interests
to
equal the Subordinate Pass-Through Rate. With respect to each Loan
Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal payments
received during the Due Period (as adjusted for amounts allocated to the
related
Class PO Component) and (b) the Realized Losses (as adjusted for amounts
allocated to the related Class PO Component), are insufficient to make the
necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests,
then interest will be added to the Loan Group’s Class C Tracking
Interest.
22
|
(c)
|
Unless
required to achieve the Calculation Rate, the outstanding aggregate
Class
A and Class B Tracking Interests for all Loan Groups will not be
reduced
below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the aggregate outstanding
Principal
Balances of all Loan Groups (as adjusted for amounts allocated
to the
related Class PO Component) as of the end of any Due Period (reduced
by
principal prepayments received after the Due Period that are to
to be
distributed on the Disribution Date related to the Due Period)
over (ii)
the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates
for all
Loan Groups as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into
account
distributions of principal on such Distribution
Date).
|
If
(and
to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution
of
principal to the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests of a Loan Group,
and if
the Loan Group’s Class C Tracking Interest has already been reduced to zero,
then the excess principal from that Loan Group (as adjusted for amounts
allocated to the related Class PO Component) will be paid to the Class C
Tracking Interests of the other Loan Groups the aggregate Class A and Class
B
Tracking Interests of which are less than one percent of the Subordinated
Portion. If the Loan Group corresponding to the Class C Tracking
Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate below the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Loan Group
making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Sub WAC REMIC
as a
Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Loan Group corresponding to the
Class C Tracking Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate
of the Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by
the
Sub WAC REMIC as a reimbursement for prior Realized
Losses.
The
foregoing REMIC structure is
intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through
to the
Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any
shortfall-actual or potential (other than for credit losses) to any REMIC
regular interest.

of Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) Each
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells,
transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without
recourse, all its respective right, title and interest in and to the related
Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received or receivable
by
such Seller, on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date
and
all interest and principal payments on the related Mortgage Loans received
prior
to the Cut-off Date in respect of installments of interest and principal
due
thereafter, but not including payments of principal and interest due and
payable
on such Mortgage Loans, on or before the Cut-off Date. On or prior to
the Closing Date, Countrywide shall deliver to the Depositor or, at the
Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor, the
Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(except that, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans (which may
include Countrywide Mortgage Loans, Park Granada Mortgage Loans, Park Monaco
Mortgage Loans and Park Sienna Mortgage Loans), such delivery may take place
within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date). Such delivery of
the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor of the
purchase price, previously agreed to by the Sellers and Depositor, for the
Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that does not have
a first payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first
Distribution Date, Countrywide shall deposit into the Distribution Account
on or
before the Distribution Account Deposit Date relating to the first Distribution
Date, an amount equal to one month’s interest at the related Adjusted Mortgage
Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Immediately
upon the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans referred to in clause (a), the
Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all
the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together
with the Depositor’s right to require each Seller to cure any breach of a
representation or warranty made herein by such Seller, or to repurchase or
substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance herewith.
(c) In
connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause (b) above,
the
Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee (or, in
the
case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans, will deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date) for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) (A) the
original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in blank
in the
following form: “Pay to the order of ____________ without recourse,” with all
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such endorsement
being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note);
or
II-1
(B) with
respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit from Countrywide
stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with
a
copy of such Mortgage Note;
(ii) except
as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, certified by Countrywide as being a true and complete copy of
the
Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged Property
is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a true copy of the Mortgage
certified as such by the applicable notary) and in the case of each MERS
Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, or a copy of such mortgage, with recording
information, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans and either
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage
Loan is
a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the
original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording
office in which such Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in
the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed
assignment of the Mortgage, or a copy of such assignment, with recording
information, (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments),
together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments
of
such mortgage or a copy of such assignment, with recording information, (each
such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form
and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof,
under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be
provided by the recording office; provided, further, that such assignment
of
Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which the related
Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
(iv) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any;
(v) except
as provided below, the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy or a

the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following documents
or
instruments:

Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
(B) The
executed Security Agreement;
(C) The
executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) The
executed Recognition Agreement;
(E) The
executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of recording thereon which
have
been filed in all places required to perfect the Seller’s interest in the Coop
Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and
(F) The
executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing
statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and unbroken line
from
the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a
form
suitable for recordation).
II-2
In
addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, each
Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee’s expense, the MERS® System to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the Depositor have
been
assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
for the
benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case
of
Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such
computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage
Loans. Each Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not
permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will
not,
alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage
Loan sold by such Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the
terms
of this Agreement.
In
the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan
the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, or a copy
of such Mortgage, with recording information, (b) all interim recorded
assignments, or a copy of such assignments, with recording information or
(c) the lender’s title policy or a copy of the lender’s title policy
(together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement because such document or documents
have
not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case
of
clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been
delivered to either the Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable
title
insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such
original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording information,
or
such interim assignment or a copy of such assignment, with recording
information, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date,
or, in
the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to
deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason
of
the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because
the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office,
the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and
in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the
public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments
affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the
Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance,
the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case
where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the
case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office,
Countrywide shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified
by
such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage.
As
promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in
any
event, within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after such transfer and
assignment, the Trustee shall (A) as the assignee thereof, affix the following
language to each assignment of Mortgage: “CWALT Series 2007-4CB, The
Bank of New York, as trustee”, (B) cause such assignment to be in proper form
for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records
and (C)
cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for
real
property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except
that,
(i) with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has
not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable
form,
the Trustee’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in
any
event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (ii) the Trustee
need
not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan,
the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in any
jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which the recordation
of
such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the
Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan as evidenced by an
opinion of counsel delivered by Countrywide to the Trustee within 90 days
of the
Closing Date (which opinion may be in the form of a “survey” opinion and is not
required to be delivered by counsel admitted to practice law in the jurisdiction
as to which such legal opinion applies).
II-3
In
the
case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date,
the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee,
will
deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05
hereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after
the
Closing Date, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at
the
Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the
Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan or (ii) either (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the
Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan,
which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.03);
provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File for
any
Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period provided in
the
prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect
a
substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and
provided further that the cure period provided for in Section 2.02 or in
Section
2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such
Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall have five (5) Business
Days
to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty (30) day
period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty (30) day period in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) Neither
the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any Mortgage Loan that would
violate the representations made by Countrywide set forth in clause (49)
of
Schedule III-A hereto.

SECTION
2.02.

Acceptance
by Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and declares that
it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to
it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the
State
of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
II-4
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and examination,
and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the
Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate
to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.
On
or
about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deliver
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Delay Delivery
Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto
as
Exhibit G-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Not
later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification with respect
to the
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review, the
Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does
not
meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an
exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that the Trustee
shall
not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient
to
transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment
is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer
to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates. Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall promptly correct or cure such
defect
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if
Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such period, Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject
to the
conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan
from
the Trustee within 90 days from the date Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) was notified of such
defect
in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however,
that
in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days
from
the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of
any
documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between
either the Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location
or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur
within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver
written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date
indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90
days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase
pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee
of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form
of
Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide (on its own
behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) in the Certificate
Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form
of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at Countrywide’s (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or its
designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases an Mortgage
Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form
to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee and shall cause
such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance
with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS®
System Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco
and Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.

(c) The
Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution
or
receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.
(d) It
is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by
it
which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute
the
sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor
and
any Certificateholder against that Seller.

II-6
(b) The
Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
in
Schedule IV hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.
(c) Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in that
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties. Each Seller hereby covenants that
within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written
notice
from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan sold by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage
Loan,
it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is
not so
cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary
of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from
the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in
the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee
at the
Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any
such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof,
if
any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected
prior
to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially
in the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage
Loan. The Seller repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee
for
any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in
respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to
the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made
to
the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, a
Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty
is
inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of the
related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
notwithstanding that Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach
of the
applicable representation or warranty. Any breach of a representation
set forth in clauses (42) through (64) of Schedule III-A with respect to
a
Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests
of the Certificateholders.
With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, sold to the Depositor by
a
Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment
of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section
2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
by
Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments
due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall
not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the related Seller
on the
next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due
on any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter that Seller shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for
the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and
the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the
related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations
and
warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate
Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with
such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release
the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating
to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller and shall execute and deliver
at such Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
title
in that Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage
Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
II-7
For
any
month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Substitute
Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted
Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after application of the scheduled
principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in
the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or
replaced hereunder.
In
the
event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase
Price
therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05
on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date
in
the month following the month during which that Seller became obligated
hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit
of
the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section
2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N hereto,
the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
at
such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer
title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or replace
any
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available
to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their
behalf.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive
delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders.
|
SECTION
2.04.
|
Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that
as
of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
it by
each Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
II-8
The
Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of its
rights
with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to Section
2.03(a)(ii) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to require
each
Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any
affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this
Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this
Section
2.04 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.

SECTION
2.05.
|
Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section
2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date
unless Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust
Fund,
addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i)
result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust
Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2)
and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause each REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are
outstanding.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee
that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith,
the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), at its option, to either (i) substitute,
if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are
satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or
(ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in
the
same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to
Countrywide the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section
2.03.

SECTION
2.06.

Execution
and Delivery of Certificates.
|
The
Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund
and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered
to or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust
Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the
rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders
of
the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement, to
the
end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately
and
effectively protected.

The
Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity
date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby. The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The “tax matters person” with respect to each
REMIC hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters

of the Master Servicer.

The
Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:

Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under
each
Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no
written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing
or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor
or

ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
|
SECTION
3.01.
|
Master
Servicer to Service Mortgage
Loans.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan
servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms hereof
(i)
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which,
for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and
(iv)
to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not
take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of
the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and
interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under
this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the
interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests
in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation
regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver
or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under
Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the
name
of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate
in
its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge
and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to
the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery
by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that
the
Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant
to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the
Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them
to
the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and
empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer
or
the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best
judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal
from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any
and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect
to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely
as
nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose
of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer,
if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added
to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
III-1

SECTION
3.02.
|
Subservicing;
Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by
a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that
such
subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement
must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent
with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken
or to
be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions
taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing
agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements
or
arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall
remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer
alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All
actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing
agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the
same
force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received
any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans
that
are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted
by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
|
SECTION
3.03.
|
Rights
of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
|
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder
and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related
rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer
shall
not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor
the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor
be
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
|
SECTION
3.04.
|
Trustee
to Act as Master Servicer.
|
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default or termination
by
the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of
the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
(except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Master Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if
it is
prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not
limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption
shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall
for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any
Event of Default or termination by the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor
shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
each
subservicing agreement.
III-2
The
Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of
the
Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement
and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming
party.

SECTION
3.05.
|
Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments; the Certificate Account; the
Distribution Account; the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Corridor
Contract Reserve Fund.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary
and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect
all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans
to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms
and
provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or any Prepayment Charge or penalty interest in connection
with
the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for
payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of
any
such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the
latest
maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any
such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The
Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation
with
respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage
Note or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to
a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required
is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into which
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later than
two
Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term credit rating of
Countrywide is reduced below “A-” by S&P or Fitch, or “A3” by
Xxxxx’x, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers
or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off
Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans
on or
before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal
Prepayments;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the Master
Servicing Fee, Prepayment Interest Excess and any lender-paid mortgage insurance
premiums;
(iii) [Reserved];
III-3
(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal
servicing procedures;
(v) any
amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor pursuant
to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
for
which it is responsible;
(vi) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property pursuant
to Section 3.11 hereof;
(vii) all
Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(viii) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01; and
(ix) any
other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds
to be
deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an
amount
of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount
of
interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date
at
the Mortgage Rate net of the Master Servicing Fee.
The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of Prepayment Charges, late payment charges
or
assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master
Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct
the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from
the
Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by
delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited
in
error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this
Section. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held
in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.08.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the
Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the
following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to Section
3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments for which
it is
responsible; and
III-4
(iii) any
other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from
the
Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the
Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at
the
direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each
institution at which the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account
is
maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i)
in the
case of the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding the
related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account,
then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next
preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of
the
Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall
mature
not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold
or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments
shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized
from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account,
or the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided
herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account
or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any
such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution
Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall
not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.
(f) The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall
give notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account
prior to any change thereof. The Supplemental Interest Trustee shall
give notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Corridor Contract
Reserve Fund prior to any change thereof.
(g) On
the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the
“Supplemental Interest Trust”), the assets of which shall consist of the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trustee’s rights
and obligations under the Corridor Contracts. The Supplemental
Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest Trustee,
who
initially, shall be the Trustee.
On
the
Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall establish and maintain
in
its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Covered Certificates,
the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, and shall deposit $1,000 therein upon
receipt from or on behalf of the Depositor of such amount. All funds
on deposit in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including
without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.

distributions pursuant to Section 4.09 exclusively (other than as expressly
provided for in Section 3.08). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall be allowed
to transfer funds in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund to the Trustee to
facilitate, for administrative purposes, distribution of such funds to
Certificateholders through the Distribution Account.

Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
|
(a) To
the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current
law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from
the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account
of
the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to
compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable
law.
(b) Withdrawals
of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium
or
PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer
out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof
(with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof
(with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums
determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms
of
the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow
Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of
this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts
shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a)
that
are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or
other
cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall
be
required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good
faith
judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer
out
of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

Loans
and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this
Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the
Master
Servicer.
Upon
reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide to
each
Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings and loan
association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access
to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to
permit
such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or Certificate
Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in providing such
reports and access.

SECTION
3.09.
|
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance
Policies.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy
shall
be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming
a
co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall
contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee
clause. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such
policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
of
the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances
to
the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so
permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of the proceeds of liquidation
of
the Mortgage Loan or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section
3.08 hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is
located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally
designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the
national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood
insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value
of
the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage
under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for
the
actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
Except
with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
not be
required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% as of
any
date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance
of
such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value or (ii)
if
maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is prohibited by applicable
law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life of such
Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage Note
or
prohibited by law.
The
Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each
Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall
be
recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related proceeds of liquidation
and
Subsequent Recoveries.
(c) In
connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans,
the
Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary
to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted
Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account.

SECTION
3.10.
|
Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to the extent
that
it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained
in
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law
and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will
not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance
Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not
required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to
be
conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or
Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the
Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause,
or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer
is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been or
is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under
the
Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor
remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to
be
covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement)
by the
applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject
to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers
under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability
agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released
from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason
of
any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably believes
it is
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject
to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent
set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property
has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter
into
an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from
liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver
or
cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall
direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments
as
are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
may
be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its
underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such
substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the
Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of
this
subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement
has
been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution
or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to
the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer
for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will
be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

SECTION
3.11.
|
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall
follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable
and
as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities
and
meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend
its
own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of
any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will
be
recoverable to it through the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
and
Subsequent Recoveries (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes
of
withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan and Subsequent
Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in
the
definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within
a 1
mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will,
prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take
action in accordance with its established environmental review
procedures.
With
respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name
shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant
to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve
such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in
the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent
the
same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such
REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the
Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is
necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements
of the
REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such
REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than
the
close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer
shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445
and
6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax
reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt
of
mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section
6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain
financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may
be
required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for
filing.
III-11
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage
Loan,
the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as
practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds thereof,
but in
no event later than three years after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will
not
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding,
the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration of
such
three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented
(or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of
income
by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms
that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income
taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c)
of
the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify
and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In
the
event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not
a
United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that
no
withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure
are
required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
The
decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall
be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of
such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a
proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management
and
net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances,
shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage
Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes
in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan
for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment
of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The
proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from
an
REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to
reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the
Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Certificate
Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were
previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such
Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property,
at
the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in
which
such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the
liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master
Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.14.
III-12
The
Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase
for
its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 151 days or
more
delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
the
Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before the next to the
last
day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan became 151 days delinquent
(such month, the “Eligible Repurchase Month”); provided further, that any such
Mortgage Loan which becomes current but thereafter becomes delinquent may
be
purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section in any ensuing
Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form
of
Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser
of such
Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage
Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto
and
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right,
title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents
related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and
not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon
own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further
obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.
(b) Countrywide
may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the “Modified Mortgage Loan”)
if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage
Rate
on the Modified Mortgage Loan is approximately a prevailing market rate for
newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms and (iii) Countrywide
purchases the Modified Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below.
Effective immediately after the modification, and, in any event, on the same
Business Day on which the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee
in
the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and
assigned to Countrywide and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof,
including the right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification
and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to Countrywide. The Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
to
the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with
respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax
purposes, the Trustee shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in
full of
the Modified Mortgage Loan.
Countrywide
shall remit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05
within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan.
Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed
by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to Countrywide the related Mortgage
File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide
any
Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant hereto.
Countrywide covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against any
liability for any “prohibited transaction” taxes and any related interest,
additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund established hereunder
as a
result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this
subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund
or any
purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by Countrywide (but such obligation
shall
not prevent Countrywide or any other appropriate Person from in good faith
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
Countrywide from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings). Countrywide shall have no right of
reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification,
except to the extent that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties,
together with interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or
Countrywide.

payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer
of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by
delivering, or causing to be delivered a “Request for Release” substantially in
the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer,
and the
Trustee shall at the Master Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the
Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release
or
satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage
in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together with the Mortgage
Note
with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The Master Servicer is
authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System
of such
Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or
cancellation or of partial or full release. Expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be
chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall
be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including
for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity
bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial
release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making
of
any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other
documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery
to the
Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to
the further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause
the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when
the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan
is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate Account,
in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request
for
Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If
the
Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature,
as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or
to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or
in equity.

from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received
by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer
as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect
of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage
Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or
from
Liquidation Proceeds and any Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited
to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall be held by the
Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole
and
exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of
this
Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action
or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
under

shall
not constitute a breach of this Section.

DISTRIBUTIONS
AND
ADVANCES
BY THE MASTER SERVICER
|
SECTION
4.01.
|
Advances.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master Servicer Advance
Date
whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to the definition
thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to make an
Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date, either
(i)
deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance or (ii)
make
an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate Account that
any
Amount Held for Future Distribution for the applicable Loan Group has been
used
by the Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Advance. Any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master
Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the close of
business on the next Master Servicer Advance Date. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account
for all
Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section
3.08. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage
Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise
terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not been
liquidated.
(b) If
the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to comply with its
obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the second sentence
of
Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give written notice thereof
to
the Trustee (each such notice a “Trustee Advance Notice”; and such notice may be
given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business
Day
immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Advance Date, specifying
the
amount that it will be unable to deposit (each such amount an “Advance
Deficiency”) and certifying that such Advance Deficiency constitutes an Advance
hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Trustee
receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:30 P.M., New York time on
a
Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee shall, not later than 3:00 P.M.,
New
York time, on the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Distribution
Account
an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency identified in such Trustee Advance
Notice unless it is prohibited from so doing by applicable
law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required
to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written notification
from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited or caused
to be
deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Advance
Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustee Advance
Rate from and including the date such Advances are made to but excluding
the
date of repayment, with such interest being an obligation of the Master Servicer
and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later than the fifth
day
following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the event that
the Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have the right,
but
not the obligation, to immediately (a) terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.04,
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on the second
Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, deliver to the
Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee)
that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Master Servicer
has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be advanced and
(ii)
the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Master Servicer Advance Date
an
Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any
proposed Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

of Depositable Certificates in this Section 4.02(a) in the Exchangeable
Certificates Distribution Account and shall distribute such amounts to the
Holders of the related Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates pursuant
to
Section 5.07.
On
any
Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts
will not reduce the Component Balance of the related Class PO
Component.
On
any
Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for Senior Principal
for a
Loan Group is insufficient to make the full distribution required to be made
pursuant to the applicable subclauses (iv)(x) above, (A) the amount
distributable on the applicable Class PO Component in respect of principal
pursuant to such subclause (iv)(x), shall be equal to the product of (1)
the

the numerator of which is the related PO Formula Principal Amount and the
denominator of which is the sum of such PO Formula Principal Amount and the
applicable Senior Principal Distribution Amount and (B) the amount distributable

not
(except as provided in the second to last sentence in this paragraph) be
distributed as interest with respect to such Class or Component of Accrual

respect to any Distribution Date prior to and including the applicable Accrual
Termination Date on which principal payments on any Class or Component of
Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(1)(iv)(y)
or
Section 4.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), as applicable, the related Accrual Amount shall
be
deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to the related
Class Certificate Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual
Certificates (and included in the amount distributable on the related
Class or Classes or Component of Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.02(a)(1)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii), as applicable, for
such

have
been applied concurrently towards the reduction of all or a portion of the
amount so added and, to the extent of any excess, towards the reduction of
the
Class Certificate Balance or Component Balance of such Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution
Date.
Notwithstanding any such distribution, the Accrual Certificates shall continue
to be a Class of Accrual Certificates on each subsequent Distribution Date
until the applicable Accrual Termination Date.

(c) On
each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
notwithstanding the allocation and priorities set forth in Section
4.02(a)(1)(iv)(y) the portion of Available Funds for Loan Group 1 available
to
be distributed as principal of the related Classes of Senior Certificates
(other
than the related Class PO Component) shall be distributed concurrently, as
principal, on the related Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective
Class Certificate Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof
are
reduced to zero.
(d) On
each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of the definition
of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class’ pro rata share of
Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect
to
a Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to the Class of Subordinated
Certificates on or prior to a Senior Termination Date on the Assumed Interest
Amount and after such Senior Termination Date, the related Class’
Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,
without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, and
(ii)
the related Class’ Allocable Share of the interest portion of the related Debt
Service Reduction and each Relief Act Reduction for the Mortgage Loans in
the
related Loan Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any
Mortgage Loan) incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of
such
Distribution Date.
(e) Notwithstanding
the priority and allocation contained in Section 4.02(a)(4), if, on any
Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of Subordinated Certificates
(other than the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the highest
priority of distribution), the sum of the related Class Subordination
Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of Subordinated Certificates
which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class (the
“Applicable Credit Support Percentage”) is less than the Original Applicable
Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of Principal
Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the “Restricted Classes”) and the
amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable to the Restricted
Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated Certificates
having
lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on
their respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided
in
Section 4.02(a)(4).
(f) If
the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group has been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially,
in
the order of payment priority, to increase the Class Certificate Balance
of each
related Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated,
but
in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated
to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of
such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for
any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the
Certificate Balance of each Certificate of such Class.

Allocation
of Realized Losses.
|
(a) On
or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine the total
amount of Realized Losses with respect to the related Distribution
Date. For purposes of allocating losses to the Subordinated
Certificates, the Class M Certificates will be deemed to have a lower numerical
Class designation, and to be of a higher relative payment priority, than
each other Class of Subordinated Certificates.
Realized
Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be allocated as
follows:
(i) the
applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan
Group
shall be allocated to the related Class PO Component, until the Component
Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) the
applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss shall be allocated first
to
the Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical
Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation)
until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is
reduced to zero, second, to the Class M Certificates, until its respective
Class
Certificate Balance, and third, to the Classes of Senior Certificates (other
than any Notional Amount Certificates and the Class PO Certificates),
pro rata on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances
or, in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component,
on
the basis of the lesser of their respective Class Certificate Balances or
Component Balance, as applicable, immediately prior to such Distribution
Date,
and their respective initial Class Certificate Balances or Component Balance,
as
applicable, until the respective Class Certificate Balance or Component Balance
of each such Class or Component is reduced to zero; provided, however,
that the Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
Loan
Group 1 that would otherwise be allocated: (i) to the Class 1-A-1 and Class
1-A-9 Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-8 and Class
1-A-11
Certificates, respectively, until their respective Class Certificate Balances
are reduced to zero and (ii) to the Class 1-A-43 Certificates will instead
be
allocated to the Class 1-A-44 Certificates until its Class Certificate Balance
is reduced to zero.
(b) The
Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced
on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on
the
Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts and (ii) the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of
all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution
of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class PO Deferred
Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool Stated Principal Balance
for
the following Distribution Date.
IV-7
(c) Any
Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates or any reduction in
the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.04(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any Component or any
reduction in the Certificate Balance or Component Balance of a Certificate
or
Component, pursuant to Section 4.04(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing
the Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with the definition of “Certificate Balance” or “Component Balance,” as the case
may be. All Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Component
Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the related
Components.

Cross-Collateralization;
Adjustments to Available Funds.

(a) [Reserved].
(b) If
on any Distribution Date the Class Certificate Balance of the Senior
Certificates in a Certificate Group (other than the related Class PO Component)
is greater than the aggregate of the Non-PO Percentages of the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (the
“Undercollateralized Group”), then the Trustee shall reduce the Available Funds
of the other Loan Group (the “Overcollateralized Group”), as
follows:
(1) to
add to the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized Group an amount equal
to
the Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group remaining after making
distributions to the Senior Certificates of the Overcollateralized Group
on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02; and
(2) to
the Senior Certificates, other than the related Class PO Component, of the
Undercollateralized Group, to the extent of the principal portion of Available
Funds of the Overcollateralized Group remaining after making distributions
to
the Senior Certificates of the Overcollateralized Group on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.02, until the Class Certificate Balance of the
Senior
Certificates, other than the related Class PO Component, of such
Undercollateralized Group equals the aggregate of the Non-PO Percentages
of the
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group.

Monthly
Statements to
Certificateholders.
|
(a) Concurrently
with each distribution on a Distribution Date, the Trustee will forward by
electronic delivery to each Rating Agency and make available to
Certificateholders on the Trustee’s website
(xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) a statement generally setting forth
the
information contained in Exhibit U hereto. Such statement shall also
indicate whether any exchanges of Exchangeable Certificates or Depositable
Certificates have occurred since the immediately preceding Distribution Date
and, if applicable, the Class designation, Class Certificate Balance or Notional
Amount and Pass-Through Rate of any Classes of Certificates that were received
by a Certificateholder as a result of such exchange as well as any Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and Realized Losses allocated to such
Certificates as a result of such exchange.
(b) The
Trustee’s responsibility for disbursing the above information to the
Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of
the information provided by the Master Servicer.
IV-8
(c) On
or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each Prepayment Period
(but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (which
delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in substantially
the
form set forth as Schedule VI hereto.
(d) Within
a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set
forth
in items (1), (2) and (7) of Exhibit U hereto aggregated for such calendar
year
or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to
have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code
as
from time to time in effect.

Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for COFI
Certificates.
|
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined
by
the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable
formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in
the
table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
Except
as
provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following the
initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business
Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication
of the
applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall
accrue
in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual
Period.
Except
as
provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through
Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period
shall
be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date
for
such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for
any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding
such
Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI
for
the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If
COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside
Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference
Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest
Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar
month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar
month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar
month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the
event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth
calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published on
or
before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual
Period
and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR,
determined in the manner set forth below.
With
respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is
LIBOR,
LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee
on the
related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08.
In
determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or
any
Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters
Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or
the
Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City banks for purposes
of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following
a
good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference
Banks
or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided
for in this Section 4.07.
IV-9
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

SECTION
4.08.
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
|
(a) On
each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates are
Outstanding or any Exchangeable Certificates with a Floating Pass-Through
Rate
have a Class Certificate Balance greater than zero, the Trustee will determine
LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers’ Association (“BBA”) “Interest
Settlement Rate” for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as quoted on the
Bloomberg Terminal as of each LIBOR Determination Date.
(b) If
on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as provided
in
paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i) request
each
Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal
London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading
banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely
on
such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc.
Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to
the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be
established by the Trustee on each interest Determination Date as
follows:
(i) If
on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such
offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period
shall
be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic
mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If
on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks
provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period
shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous
Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The
“Reserve Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines
to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending
rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the
relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal London offices of
at
least two of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion
of
the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine
no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending
rate
which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If
on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required but is unable
to
determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b)
above, LIBOR for the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as
determined on the preceding applicable Interest Determination
Date. If on the initial LIBOR Determination Date the Trustee is
required but unable to determine LIBOR in the manner provided above, LIBOR
for
the next Interest Accrual Period will be the Initial LIBOR Rate.
IV-10
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times
retain
at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect
to each Interest Determination Date. The Master Servicer initially
shall designate the Reference Banks. Each “Reference Bank” shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business
in
London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to
act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank
for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination
Date so long as the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of LIBOR Certificates
is greater than zero, on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae
appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table
relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In
determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
(whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest
Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from
time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City
banks
or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.08.
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

The
Certificates.

The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in
the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that
one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be
in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations
per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject
to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates,
on
each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at
a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
has
so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related
Record
Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B)
100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates or
(C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not
less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf
of the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be
so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates
or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature,
and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign
the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any
affiliate thereof.
The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous
basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.

Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund
in
which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as
herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates
to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied
by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
V-1
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b) For
so long as the related Corridor Contract is in effect, no transfer of a Private
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said
Act
and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws,
in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s
prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts
surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit
J-2
(the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the
form of either Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit L-1 (the “Rule
144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of
the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant
to
an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to
any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated
by
any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage
Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition
to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule
144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to
the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
(in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement
is
satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L-1, or in the
event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that (x) such transferee
is not a Plan or (y) in the case of a Certificate that is an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate and that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
a
representation that the transferee is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account”
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of
such Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections
I
and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of a Plan, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of
either the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the purchase and holding
of
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will
not
subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition
to
those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation
letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence is not
so
furnished, one of the representations in clause (i), as appropriate, shall
be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an
initial acquiror’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificate. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein,
any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf
of a
Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
V-2
No
transfer of a Covered Certificate (other than a transfer of a Covered
Certificate to an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly or through
a
nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates) shall
be
made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from
the
transferee of such Covered Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
L-2
to the effect that (i) such transferee is not a Plan, or (ii) that the purchase
and holding of the Covered Certificate satisfies the requirements for exemptive
relief under XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 96-23, the service provider
exemption
provided under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the
Code
or a similar exemption. In the event that such a representation
letter is not delivered, one of the foregoing representations, as appropriate,
shall be deemed to have been made by the transferee’s (including an initial
acquiror’s) acceptance of the Covered Certificate. In the event that
such representation is violated, such transfer or acquisition shall be void
and
of no effect.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of or
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Covered Certificate that
is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due
on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) Except
in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax Matters Person Certificate
in
the name of the Trustee or (ii) any registration in the name of, or transfer
of
a Residual Certificate to, an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly
or
through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates,
no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the
Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an
affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
V-3
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such
Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
of
a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that
such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee and to provide to the Trustee a certificate
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 stating that it
has no
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall
be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is
in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so
long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the
Investment Letter, if required. The Trustee shall be entitled but not
obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in
fact
not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on
such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments
so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to
the
last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on
a
Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
any
Seller, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause
any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents
to
any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and
(b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the
parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain
registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i)
registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except
to
another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records
with
respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers
of
such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration
of
the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed
by
applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect
its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository
Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository
Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising
the
rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and
votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they
are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may
rely
and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and
persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
V-4
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners
it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x)
(i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable
to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance
of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository
through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests
of
the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners,
through
the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability
of
definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee
of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue
the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor
nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction
and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such
instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer
of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates
all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee,
to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue
of
its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act
or
failure to act of the Depository.

evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment
of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of
the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

or
under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which

therein, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
and/or Depository Participants hereunder, regardless of the source from which

Depositable
and Exchangeable Certificates.
|
(a) On
the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “ES Trust”),
which shall be a Grantor Trust for federal income tax purposes. The
ES Trust shall be maintained by the Trustee in its name, for the benefit
of the
Holders of the Certificates. The assets of the ES Trust shall consist
of the LTR-A-R Interest and the uncertificated Master REMIC Interests, which
have been placed in the ES Trust through the efforts of the Underwriter
(Senior). The LTR-A-R Interest and the uncertificated Master REMIC
Interests in the ES Trust shall be held by the Trustee. On the
Closing Date, the ES Trust shall issue the several Classes of Certificates.
Each
Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be issued on the Closing Date with
a
Class Certificate Balance of zero. Upon the sale of the Certificates
on the Closing Date, the Exchangeable Certificates shall be placed with the
Trustee through the efforts of the Underwriter (Senior) to be held to facilitate
the exchange of Depositable and Exchangeable Certificates on and after the
Closing Date. Among the Depositable and Exchangeable Certificates,
the beneficial interest of the uncertificated Master REMIC Interests shall
be
represented by the related Depositable Certificates until such Depositable
Certificates have been exchanged for Exchangeable Certificates, at which
time,
such Exchangeable Certificates shall represent those uncertificated Master
REMIC
Interests.
V-6
The
Trustee, as trustee of the ES Trust, shall establish and maintain, on behalf
of
the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, the Exchangeable Certificates
Distribution Account. All funds on deposit in the Exchangeable
Certificates Distribution Account shall be held separate and apart from,
and
shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation,
other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee, as holder of any surrendered Depositable
Certificates, shall deposit in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution
Account any amounts distributable to the surrendered Depositable Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.02. For the avoidance of doubt, if on any
Distribution Date no Classes of Depositable Certificates have been surrendered
or if all Classes of Exchangeable Certificates have been exchanged for
Depositable Certificates according to Section 5.07(e), then no amounts will
be
deposited in the Exchangeable Certificates Deposit Account on such Distribution
Date.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Exchangeable
Certificates Distribution Account to make distributions to the Classes of
Exchangeable Certificates then entitled to distributions pursuant to Section
5.07(b).
Funds
in
the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account shall remain
uninvested.
(b) On
each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw funds on deposit in the
Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account and distribute such amount
to the
Holders of each related Class of Exchangeable Certificates. Amounts
related to interest distributed to the surrendered Depositable Certificates
shall be distributed as interest to the related Class or Classes of Exchangeable
Certificates. All distributions of principal to the Exchangeable
Certificates shall be made pro rata among the Classes of Exchangeable
Certificates within each Recombination Group unless specifically provided
for
otherwise in Schedule VII. All distributions that are made with
respect to a particular Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be made
pro
rata among all Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective
Class Certificate Balances.
In
addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to
withdraw any amount deposited in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution
Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(ii) to
clear and terminate the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account upon
the
termination of this Agreement.
(c) On
each Distribution Date on which a Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall
be
entitled to receive distributions pursuant to Section 5.07(b), such Class
shall
be allocated a proportionate share of the Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
and
Relief Act Shortfalls allocable to the Classes of Depositable Certificates
in
the related Recombination Group.
V-7
(d) On
each Distribution Date on which a Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall
be
entitled to receive distributions pursuant to Section 5.07(b), such Class
shall
be allocated a proportionate share of the Realized Losses allocable to the
Classes of Depositable Certificates in the related Recombination
Group.
(e) Upon
the presentation and surrender of the Depositable Certificates, the Holder
thereof transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee
of
the ES Trust, all of such Holder’s right, title and interest in and to such
Depositable Certificates, including all payments of interest thereon received
after the month of the exchange. The Trustee on behalf of the ES
Trust shall furnish written acknowledgement to the Holder of such surrendered
Certificate of the transfer and assignment to it of such Depositable
Certificates.
At
the
request of the Holder of a Class or Classes of Depositable Certificates,
and
upon the surrender of such Depositable Certificates, the Trustee shall deliver
such Exchangeable Certificates as set forth in such Recombination Group in
the
respective Denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial
Class Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amounts of such Exchangeable
Certificates bear to the initial Class Certificate Balances of the Depositable
Certificates, as set forth in Schedule VII, which shall represent in the
aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership of the Master REMIC Interests
related
to such surrendered Certificates. In addition, at the request of the
Holder of a Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates, and upon the
surrender of such Exchangeable Certificates, the Trustee shall exchange such
Exchangeable Certificates for another Class or Classes of Exchangeable
Certificates or the related surrendered Depositable Certificates, as set
forth
in Schedule VII. There shall be no limitation on the number of
exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 5.07.
Holders
may exchange their Certificates according to this Section 5.07(e) by (i)
providing notice to the Trustee no later than three (3) Business Days prior
to
the date on which the Holder wishes to make such exchange (the “Exchange Date”),
which Exchange Date is subject to the Trustee’s approval and shall not be the
first or last Business Day of the month, (ii) remitting the Exchange Fee,
as
determined in the next paragraph, to the Trustee and (iii) remitting the
beneficial interest in the Depositable Certificates or the Exchangeable
Certificates, as applicable, to the Trustee. Any such notice to the
Trustee (A) may be provided to the Trustee by email at xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx
or
by telephone at (000) 000-0000, (B) must include (i) the Certificateholder’s
letterhead, (ii) a medallion stamp guarantee or be signed by an authorized
signatory and be presented with an incumbency certificate and (iii) set forth
the following information: (a) the CUSIP number of both the Certificates
to be
exchanged and the Certificates to be received, (b) the outstanding Class
Certificate Balance and the initial Class Certificate Balance of the
Certificates to be exchanged, (c) the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number
and (d) the proposed Exchange Date, and (C) is irrevocable beginning on the
second Business Day prior to the Exchange Date. Such exchange will be
completed by the Trustee upon the receipt by the Trustee of the Exchange
Fee and
the beneficial interest in the Depositable Certificates or the Exchangeable
Certificates, as applicable.
The
preparation of all Certificates referred to in this Section 5.07(e) in
connection with an exchange shall be at the expense of the parties to such
exchanges. For each exchange, the Certificateholder must pay the
Trustee a fee (the “Exchange Fee”) equal to 1/32 of 1% of the current Class
Certificate Balance of the Certificates to be Exchanged but in no event shall
the fee be less than $2,000 or greater than $25,000.

“Event
of
Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any
failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or remit
to
the Trustee any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement,
which failure shall continue unremedied for five days after the date upon
which
written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by

failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer
contained in this Agreement (except with respect to a failure related to
a
Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation), which failure materially affects
the
rights of Certificateholders, that failure continues unremedied for a period
of
60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have
been
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than
25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; provided, however,
that
the sixty-day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute
or
repurchase in lieu of delivery; or
(iii) a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive
days; or
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or all or
substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the
Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a
voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute,
make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment
of its obligations; or
(vi) the
Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the Trustee within five days
of
the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued and unpaid interest.
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section shall occur,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or, if an Event of Default described
in
clauses (i) to (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every
such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3%
of the
Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice
in
writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency and the
Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder.

addition, if during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange
Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall fail
to
observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute a Limited Exchange
Act
Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth in Section 3.16(a) or Section
11.07(a)(1) and (2), and such failure continues for the lesser of 10 calendar
days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed
timely (without taking into account any extensions), so long as such failure
shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, but only at the direction
of
the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. The
Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
Master Servicer if a failure of the Master Servicer to identify a Subcontractor
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such
Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage
Loans.
On
and
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The
Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed
to
make subject to Section 4.01 hereof whether or not the obligations of the
Master
Servicer have been terminated pursuant to this Section. The Trustee
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such
written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master
Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of
the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at
the
time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating
such
Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer
would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),
and any
other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to
which
arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.
If
the
Master Servicer is terminated, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with
its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of

Master Servicer as set forth herein.

Trustee
to Act; Appointment of
Successor.

On

in
Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as
master
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant
to
Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled
to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would
have
been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or Distribution Account
if
the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer
in
accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates, by each Rating Agency
as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any
part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer
hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an
institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing,
which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to service
the Mortgage Loans and (i) executes and delivers to the Depositor and the
Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains
an
assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than liabilities
of
the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination
of
the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally
named
as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each Rating Agency
acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior
to
such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result
of
such assignment and delegation and (ii) provides to the Depositor in writing
fifteen days prior to the effective date of such appointment and in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably
requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement master
servicer. The Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor
of such successor pursuant to this Section. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee
is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof,
act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, 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; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in
excess of the Master Servicing Fee permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure
to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or
responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master
Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any
successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to
the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master
Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09.
In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee
is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that
it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer either
(x) in
causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable
form
to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver
such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or
desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such
Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer or (y) in
causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Master Servicer as
the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer
shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording
office. The successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to
be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence
of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in
which
such assignment was recorded.

Duties
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform
such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct
of such person’s own affairs.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee
that
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible
for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement,
opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless
an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except
for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth
in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine
and
to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall
be
finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
of
Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(iv) without
in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 hereof,
the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the information delivered
to it by the Master Servicer in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether
it is required to make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm any information contained in any Trustee
Advance Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance under Section
4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice or actual knowledge of
a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that (A) such Advance was not made by
the
Master Servicer and (B) such Advance is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties
hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in
any tax
or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. Such indemnity

of
the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master
Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing
by the
Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement
or
advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses,

authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would
not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw their respective
then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security
from
time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing
by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of
this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or
association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions

Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
and
its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however,

the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in
such
notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect,
and
acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting
the
qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee
meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation,
the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
As
a

days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee shall provide
(x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section
and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order
to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
to
the resignation of the Trustee.
If
at any
time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request
thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or

control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,(iii) a tax is imposed with respect
to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is

different trustee or (iv) during the period that the Depositor is required
to
file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee fails
to

preceding paragraph, Section 8.09 or Article XI and such failure is not remedied
within the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable
Exchange Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any
extensions), then, in the case of clauses (i) through (iii), the Depositor
or
the Master Servicer, or in the case of clause (iv), the Depositor, may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee,
one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy of which

The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may

time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered
by the
successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee
so
removed, one complete set to the successor so appointed and one complete
set to
the Depositor, together with a written description of the basis of such
removal. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each
Rating Agency by the successor trustee.

the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, its appointment shall not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates and such successor trustee

SECTION
8.10.
|
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate
Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund,
and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever
is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10,
such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt
by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
VIII-5
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To
the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance
funds
on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except
to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or
acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to
the
Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund
or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of
the Trustee;
(ii) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and
shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee
as
agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee
or co-trustee; and
(iv) The
Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of
reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject
to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision
of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and
the
Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.

Tax
Matters.
|
It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be
made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the
Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC
and
that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities
income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any
such
REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as
may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and
furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b)
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by
the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form,
and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the
Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC
on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service
and, if
necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee
or
other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity
in
which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the
reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to
the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its
control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under
the
REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit
to
take any action that would cause the termination of the tax status of any
REMIC;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the third paragraph of this Section
8.11,
the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction
taxes
as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when
and
as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent
the
Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited
to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market
value
and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request
an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter
into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute
of
limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act
on
behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving
it.

In
order
to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor
shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days
after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests
in
writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations
and
offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates
and
the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information
or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order
to
enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations
of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or
to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code,
on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant
to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without
limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if
not
paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the
Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the
Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master
Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out
of or
results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any Seller, if any such tax arises
out
of or results from that Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will
be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders,
as
provided in Section 3.08(b).
The
Trustee shall treat the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund as an outside reserve
fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned
by the
Underwriter (Senior), and that is not an asset of the Trust Fund or any REMIC
created hereunder. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders
of the Covered Certificates to receive payments from the Corridor Contract
Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate corridor contract written by the
Corridor Contract Counterparty. Thus, the Covered Certificates shall
be treated as representing ownership of not only a Master REMIC regular
interest, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate corridor
contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the Master
REMIC regular interest, the Trustee shall assume: (i) that the Corridor Contract
entered into by the Corridor Contract Counterparty in respect of the Class
1-A-1
Certificates have a value of $88,000 and (ii) that the Corridor Contract
entered
into by the Corridor Contract Counterparty in respect of the Class 1-A-3
Certificates has a value of $178,900.
For
federal income tax purposes the Trustee shall treat the ES Trust as a Grantor
Trust and shall treat each Holder of an ES Trust Certificate as the owner
of the
individual, underlying assets represented by such ES Trust
Certificate. In addition, to the fullest extent possible, ownership
of an ES Trust Certificate shall be treated as direct ownership of the
individual, underlying assets represented by such ES Trust Certificate for
federal income tax reporting purposes.

Monitoring
of Significance Percentage.
|
With
respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall calculate the “significance
percentage” (as defined in Item 1115 of Regulation AB) of each derivative
instrument, if any, based on the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the
related Classes of Covered Certificates for such derivative instrument and
Distribution Date (after all distributions to be made thereon on such
Distribution Date) and based on the methodology provided in writing by or
on
behalf of Countrywide no later than the fifth Business Day preceding such
Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
provide to Countrywide a written report (which written report may include
similar information with respect to other derivative instruments relating
to
securitization transactions sponsored by Countrywide) specifying the
“significance percentage” of each derivative instrument, if any, for that
Distribution Date. If the “significance percentage” of any derivative
instrument exceeds 7.0% with respect to any Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall
make a separate notation thereof in the written report described in the
preceding sentence. Such written report may contain such assumptions
and disclaimers as are deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Trustee.

Final
Distribution on the
Certificates.
|
If
on any
Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than
the
funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee
promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior
to the
date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master
Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase
price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice
of
any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by
letter
to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than
the
15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount
of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which
such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice
to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.
IX-1
In
the
event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in
the
Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect
of the
Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund
and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the
final
Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, and in proportion
to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders
of
the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates,
the Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest thereon (or on
their
Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate
and (b) any Class PO Deferred Amounts in the case of Class PO Certificates,
and
(ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on
deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet
claims) after application pursuant to clause (i)
above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance
of any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, each Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In
the
event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates
for
cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months
after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or
may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part
of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the last
Corridor Contract Scheduled Termination Date and (ii) the date on which the
aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Covered Certificates is reduced
to
zero.

Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with
an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect
that
the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not
(i)
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC as
defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
IX-2
(1) Within
90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given
by
the Master Servicer under Section 9.02, the Master Servicer shall prepare

liquidation; and
(2) Within
90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation,
the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer
for cash in accordance with Section 9.01.
(b) The
Trustee, as agent for any REMIC created hereunder, hereby agrees to adopt
and
sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the
Master
Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section
9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be

Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may
be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to conform this Agreement

Commission from time to time, (vi) to add any other provisions with respect
to
matters or questions arising hereunder or (vii) to modify, alter, amend,

by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of
the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect
the
interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment
shall
not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
the
Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter
from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and
of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
amendment that significantly changes the permitted activities of the trust
created by this Agreement may be made without the consent of a Majority in
Interest of each Class of Certificates affected by such
amendment. Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it will
cooperate with each other party in amending this Agreement pursuant to clause
(v) above. The Trustee, each Seller, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement
without
the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any
of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain
the
qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize
the
risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that
would
be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates
or
(iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee
has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense
of
the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense
of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or
helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or
minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any
such
requirements of the Code.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, each Seller,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of
the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required
to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
(i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such
Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating
X-1
66-2/3%
or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of
which
are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion
of
Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund,
to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax
on
any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each
Rating
Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of
the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of
the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment
is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements
for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A)
the
amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any
Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding
clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section

Intention
of Parties.
|
(a) It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the (i)
Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor and (ii) Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are
held
to be the property of any Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, or
if for
any other reason this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement is
held
or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then
(i) this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York) with respect to all such assets and security
interests and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement or
any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and
a
grant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) by each Seller to the
Depositor or (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute
the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
X-2
Each
Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall,
to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest
in the
Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security
interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as
such
throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection
with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders.
(b) The
Depositor hereby represents that:
(i) This
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in
the
Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”)) in
the Mortgage Notes in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior
to
all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Depositor.
(ii) The
Mortgage Notes constitutes “instruments” within the meaning of the NY
UCC.
(iii) Immediately
prior to the assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, the Depositor
owns
and has good and marketable title to such Mortgage Loan free and clear of
any
lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
(iv) The
Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of
the
Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the
Trustee.
(v) All
original executed copies of each Mortgage Note that are required to be delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 have been delivered to the
Trustee.
(vi) Other
than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
in,
or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has
not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the
Mortgage Loans other than any 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.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to maintain
the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the
Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the obligation to deliver the Mortgage
File to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be solely the Depositor’s
obligation and the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the safekeeping
of the Mortgage Files by the Trustee.
X-3
(d) It
is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
subsection (b) above shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in subsection
(b) above, which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of
the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

certification substantially in the form of Exhibit W hereto delivered to
the
Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case

the new
agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article XI pursuant

Section 10.01, which amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or
Rating Agency confirmations or the consent of any
Certificateholder. If, during the period that the Depositor is

Master
Servicer is no longer an Affiliate of the Depositor, the Depositor shall
assume
the obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in this Article
XI
with respect to the preparation and filing of the Exchange Act Reports and/or
acting as the Certifying Person, if the Depositor has received indemnity
from
such successor Master Servicer satisfactory to the Depositor, and such Master

set forth in this Schedule III-A to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date,
or if

as a
seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a seller, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP,
as

as of
the Closing Date.
(2) As
of the Cut-off Date, none of the Mortgage Loans is 30 days or more
delinquent.
(3) No
Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of
100.00%.

Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property
subject
only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording
of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal
made
in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c)
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such
Mortgage.
(5) [Reserved]
(6) There
is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged
Property.
(7) There
is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of
or
interest on such Mortgage Note.
(8) There
are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the
lien
of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in item (12) below.
S-III-A-1
(9) As
of the Closing Date, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, each Mortgaged
Property is free of material damage and in good repair.
(10) Each
Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, usury, equal
credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending laws, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any
such
laws.
(11) As
of the Closing Date, neither the Sellers nor any prior holder of any Mortgage
has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Mortgage
Loan
may have been modified by a written instrument which has been recorded or
submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been delivered
to the
Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or
in
part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the
lien
of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation,
modification or satisfaction with respect thereto.
(12) A
lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal
to the
Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment
(binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of
each
Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect,
and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business
in
the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
FNMA
or FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which policy insures
Countrywide and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above; to the best of Countrywide’s
knowledge, no claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Countrywide, has done,
by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage
title
insurance policy.
(13) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an entity that satisfied
at the
time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(14) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included
for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(15) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation. To the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use
and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
(16) Each
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with
its
terms and under applicable law. To the best of Countrywide’s
knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity
to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
S-III-A-2
(17) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as
to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees
and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the Mortgage Loans
were
paid.
(18) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render
the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against
the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in
the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(19) With
respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are
or will become payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the
deed
of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(20) Each
Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the forms acceptable
to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC,
as
the case may be.
(21) There
exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such
are
required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not
been
made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due
Countrywide have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note.
(22) The
origination, underwriting and collection practices used by Countrywide with
respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, prudent and
customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.
(23) There
is no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing the
Mortgagor’s obligations.
(24) No
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest
feature.
(25) Each
Mortgage Loan contains a customary “due on sale” clause.
(26) Approximately
2.96% and 30.54% of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2,
respectively, in each case by aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans in that Loan Group as of the Cut-off Date, provide for a Prepayment
Charge.
(27) Each
Mortgage Loan which had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of
80.00%
is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that portion of
the
principal balance equal to a specified percentage times the sum of the remaining
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the accrued interest thereon
and
the related foreclosure expenses. The specified coverage percentage
for mortgage loans with terms to maturity of between 25 and 30 years is 12%
for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and
95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 95.01% and 100%. The specified
coverage percentage for mortgage loans with terms to maturity of up to 20
years
ranges from 6% to 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%,
from
12% to 20% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00% and 20% to
25% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% to 95.00%. Each such Primary
Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions of
any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with,
any
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have
been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee thereunder to maintain such
insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith, subject,
in each case, to the provisions of Section 3.09(b) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Mortgage Rate for each Mortgage Loan is net of any
such insurance premium.
S-III-A-3
(28) As
of the Closing Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered
by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable
carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater
of (a)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount
such
that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded
by a
blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such individual
insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (28) below
contain
a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide or the original mortgagee,
and
its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and Countrywide has received no
notice
that any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance including
flood insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor.
(29) If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of
the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged
Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage
not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance
of the
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or
loss
on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that
is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
(30) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no proceeding occurring, pending
or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property.
(31) There
is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note and, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no material
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and Countrywide
has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(32) Each
Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling
including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs, which, to the best
of
Countrywide’s knowledge, does not include cooperatives or mobile homes and does
not constitute other than real property under state law.
S-III-A-4
(33) Each
Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master Servicer.
(34) Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal
amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master
Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the
Mortgagor.
(35) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has
been
assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in
the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of
the
Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever
is
later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes
and
insurance payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage.
(36) Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects in accordance with
Countrywide’s underwriting guidelines as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(37) Other
than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation Mortgage Loan as to which
the
loan-to-value ratio of the related Original Mortgage Loan was less than 90%
at
the time of the origination of such Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the
originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property
or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal
is
in a form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.
(38) None
of the Mortgage Loans are graduated payment mortgage loans or a growing equity
mortgage loans, and none of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a buydown or
similar arrangement.
(39) Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than five
years
in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(40) The
Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding fixed-rate one- to
four-family mortgage loans in the portfolios of the Sellers at the Closing
Date
as to which the representations and warranties made as to the Mortgage Loans
set
forth in this Schedule III-A can be made. Such selection was not made
in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests of
Certificateholders.
(41) Except
for 644 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, each Mortgage Loan has a payment
date on
or before the Due Date in the month of the first Distribution Date.
S-III-A-5
(42) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has been delivered
to the
Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note is a Lost Mortgage Note,
if
such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in default, the enforcement of such Mortgage
Loan or of the related Mortgage by or on behalf of the Trustee will not be
materially adversely affected by the absence of the original Mortgage
Note. A “Lost Mortgage Note” is a Mortgage Note the original of which
was permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced.
(43) The
Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform in all material

underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the borrower had the reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the mortgage loan.
(62) No
borrower under a Mortgage Loan was charged “points and fees” in an amount
greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage

and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and
charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan,
whether they are paid to the lender or a third party; and (y) exclude bona
fide
discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with
the
origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and

and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost
of
mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title,

and
servicing of each Mortgage Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the borrower
in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.

jurisdiction in which it is located.

does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed
by
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below
or any of their respective affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor
the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or
instrumentality.
This
certifies that
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing
the
Denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Initial Certificate Balance
of
all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain
monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting of the Mortgage
Loans deposited by CWALT, Inc. (the “Depositor”). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off
Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc., as a seller (“CHL”), Park Granada LLC, as a seller (“Park
Granada”), Park Monaco, Inc., as a seller (“Park Monaco”), and Park Sienna LLC,
as a seller (“Park Sienna” and, together with CHL, Park Granada and Park Monaco,
the “Sellers”), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer (the
“Master Servicer”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the
“Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
C-1-2
Any
distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust Fund will
be
made only upon presentment and surrender of this Class A-R Certificate at
the
Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
in New
York, New York.
No
transfer of a Class A-R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
have
received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any
such benefit plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be
an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, (ii) if such
certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and
the
transferee is an insurance company, a representation that the transferee
is
purchasing such Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company
general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief
under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject
to
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), a trustee of any such
benefit plan or arrangement or any other person acting on behalf of any such
benefit plan or arrangement, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate will not
result
in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, and will not subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation
in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of a Class A-R Certificate to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
Each
Holder of this Class A-R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound
by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
this Class A-R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate may be transferred without delivery
to
the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b)
a
transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the
form
described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate must agree to require a transfer
affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee as required
pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the
proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or
purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class A-R Certificate
in
violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will
vest no
rights in the purported transferee.
C-1-3
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on
the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same
effect as if set forth at this place.

Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on
the
face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date
specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the
Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant
to
the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
by
first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified
in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
E-1
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
in
New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and any agent
of the
Depositor or the Trustee 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 any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance is less than
or
equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance,
the Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set
forth
in the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans
at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event
that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or
other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be
distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the
trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any
term
used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
in
the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that
meaning.

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of
,
the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
(the
“Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of _________ __, 2___ (the “Agreement”), by and among CWALT, Inc., as depositor
(the “Depositor”), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (the “Company”), as a Seller,
Park Granada LLC, as a Seller, Park Monaco, Inc., as a Seller, Park Sienna
LLC,
as a Seller (and together with the Company, Park Granada and Park Monaco,
the
“Sellers”), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as Master Servicer and The Bank
of New York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined
herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in
the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make
this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, nor is it acting
on
behalf of or with plan assets of any such plan. The Transferee is, as of
the
date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted
Transferee. The Transferee will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in
the Certificate for its own account.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed
on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
(ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is
through
an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that
is
not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise
liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent
Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does
not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect
to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit
that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
I-1
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
(attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and
understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest
in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent
Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory
sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted
on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render
the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection
with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver
to
the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit
J-1 to
the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee
has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made
is
not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Class A-R
Certificates.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ______________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code section
7701(a)(30) and, unless the Transferor (or any subsequent
transferor) expressly waives such requirement, will not cause income from
the
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee
or another U.S. taxpayer.
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Class A-R Certificates may be “noneconomic residual
interests” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and
that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable
for
any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless
no
significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection
of tax. In addition, as the Holder of a noneconomic residual
interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows
generated by the interest and the Transferee hereby represents that it intends
to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as they become
due.
I-2
11. The
Transferee has provided financial statements or other financial information
requested by the Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Certificate
to permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the Transferee
to
pay such taxes. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as
they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the
future.
12. Unless
the Transferor (or any subsequent transferor) expressly waives such requirement,
the Transferee (and any subsequent transferee) certifies (or will certify),
respectively, that the transfer satisfies either the “Asset Test” imposed by
Treasury Regulation § 1.860E-1(c)(5) or the “Formula
Test” imposed by Treasury Regulation § 1.860E-1(c)(7).

Certain
Definitions
“Asset
Test”: A transfer satisfies the Asset Test if: (i) At
the time of the transfer, and
at the close of each of the transferee's two fiscal years preceding the
transferee's fiscal year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. The gross assets and net
assets
of a transferee do not include any obligation of any “related person” or any
other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the other asset
is
to permit the transferee to satisfy such monetary conditions; (ii) The
transferee must be
an “eligible corporation” and must agree in writing that any subsequent transfer
of the interest will be to another eligible corporation in a transaction
that
satisfies paragraphs 9 through 11 of this Transfer Affidavit and the Asset
Test.
A transfer fails to meet the Asset Test if the transferor knows, or has reason
to know, that the transferee will not honor the restrictions on subsequent
transfers of the Certificate; and (iii)
A
reasonable person would not conclude, based on the facts
and circumstances known to the transferor on or before the date of the transfer,
that the taxes associated with the Certificate will not be paid. The
consideration given to the transferee to acquire the Certificate is only
one
factor to be considered, but the transferor will be deemed to know that the
transferee cannot or will not pay if the amount of consideration is so low
compared to the liabilities assumed that a reasonable person would conclude
that
the taxes associated with holding the Certificate will not be
paid. For purposes of applying the Asset Test, (i) an “eligible
corporation” means any
domestic C corporation (as defined in section 1361(a)(2) of the Code) other
than (A) a
corporation which is exempt from, or is not subject to, tax under section
11 of
the Code, (B) an
entity described in section 851(a) or 856(a) of the Code, (C) A
REMIC, or (D) an
organization to
which part I of subchapter T of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code applies;
(ii) a
“related
person” is any person that (A)
bears
a relationship to the transferee enumerated in section
267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using “20 percent” instead of “50 percent”
where it appears under the provisions, or (B) is
under common
control (within the meaning of section 52(a) and (b)) with the transferee.
“Formula
Test”: A transfer satisfies the formula test if the present value of the
anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate does
not
exceed the sum of
(i) the present value of any
consideration given to the
transferee to acquire the Certificate; (ii)
the
present value of the expected future distributions
on the Certificate; and (iii) the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding the Certificate as the issuing REMIC generates
losses. For
purposes of applying the Formula Test: (i) The
transferee is assumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the
highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code. If the transferee
has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under section 55 of the Code
in
the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current
taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate, then the tax rate specified
in section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code; (ii)
The
transfer must satisfy paragraph 9 of the Transfer
Affidavit; and (iii) Present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to
the Federal short-term rate prescribed by section 1274(d) of the Code for
the
month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the
taxpayer.
I-6
“Ownership
Interest”: As to any Certificate, any ownership interest in such
Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder thereof
and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or
beneficial.
“Permitted
Transferee”: Any person other than (i) the United States, any State
or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any
of the
foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency
or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except
certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code) that is
exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed
by
section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess
inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to
any
Class A-R Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described
in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership” as
defined in section 775 of the Code, (vi) a Person that is not a citizen or
resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other entity
(treated as a corporation or a partnership for federal income tax purposes)
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate whose income from sources
without the United States is includible in gross income for United States
federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct
of a
trade or business within the United States, or a trust if a court within
the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
of
the trust and one or more United States persons have authority to control
all
substantial decisions of the trustor unless such Person has furnished the
transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service
Form
W-8ECI, and (vii) any other Person so designated by the Trustee based upon
an
Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class
A-R
Certificate to such Person may cause any REMIC formed under the Agreement
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
Outstanding. The terms “United States,” “State” and “International
Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in section 7701 of the Code or
successor provisions. A corporation will not be treated as an
instrumentality of the United States or of any State or political subdivision
thereof for these purposes if all of its activities are subject to tax and,
with
the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of
its
board of directors is not selected by such government unit.
“Person”: Any
individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture,
bank, joint stock company, trust (including any beneficiary thereof),
unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision
thereof.
“Transfer”: Any
direct or indirect transfer or sale of any Ownership Interest in a Certificate,
including the acquisition of a Certificate by the Depositor.
“Transferee”: Any
Person who is acquiring by Transfer any Ownership Interest in a
Certificate.

Section
5.02(c) of the Agreement
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(1) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(2) Except
in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax Matters Person Certificate
in
the name of the Trustee or (ii) any registration in the name of, or transfer
of
a Class A-R Certificate to, an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly
or
through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates,
no Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be registered on the
Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register
the
Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate unless, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(3) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such
Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
of
a Class A-R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a
Class A-R Certificate, or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a
Class A-R Certificate to any other Person, if it has actual knowledge that
such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(4) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall
be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Class
A-R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that is
in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so
long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit and Transferor Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled
but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that
was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at
such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments
made on such Class A-R Certificate at and after either such time. Any
such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by
the
Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
I-8
(5) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Class A-R Certificate set forth in this section
5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on
a
Class A-R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Sellers or the Master Servicer, to
the
effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any constituent
REMIC of any REMIC formed hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time
that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any
tax on
the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of
Counsel
furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record
ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class A-R Certificate is not
transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class
A-R
Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to
a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

and Gentlemen:
In
connection with our acquisition of the above Certificates we certify that
(a) we
understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities laws and are being
transferred to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act and any such laws, (b) we have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that we are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of investments in the Certificates, (c) we have had
the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Depositor
concerning the purchase of the Certificates and all matters relating thereto
or
any additional information deemed necessary to our decision to purchase the
Certificates, (d) either (i) we are not an employee benefit plan that is
subject
to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or
a plan or arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, nor are we acting on behalf of or investing the
assets
of any such benefit plan or arrangement to effect such acquisition or (ii)
if
the Certificates have been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting
and
we are an insurance company, we are purchasing such Certificates with funds
contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in
Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and
the purchase and holding of such Certificates satisfy the requirements for
exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, (e) we have not,

disposed of the Certificates, any interest in the Certificates or any other
similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer,
pledge
or other disposition of the Certificates, any interest in the Certificates
or
any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with
respect to the Certificates, any interest in the Certificates or any other
similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general
solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken
any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the Certificates
under
the Securities Act or that would render the disposition of the Certificates
a
violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant
thereto, nor will act, nor has authorized or will authorize any person to
act,
in such manner with respect to the Certificates, (f) we are a “qualified
institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act and have completed either of the forms of certification to that effect
attached hereto as Annex 1 or Annex 2. We are aware that the sale to
us is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. We are acquiring the
Certificates for our own account or for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and
further, understand that such Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred
only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a qualified institutional
buyer
that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified
institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption
