This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of July 1, 2006,
among ACE SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor, XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., Master
Servicer and Securities Administrator and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
as Trustee.
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder
in
multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest of the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Trust Fund will
consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC
I
As
provided herein, the Securities Administrator will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund and, for the avoidance
of
doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Cap Contracts and the Swap
Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated
pool
of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I Interest will be the
sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth
the
designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance
and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation
Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each
of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I
Regular Interests will be certificated.

and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall furnish to it
and as
shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard
to
such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor
may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for)
any
Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and
is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect
or
breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any breach of a representation
or
warranty contained in clauses (viii), (xxxv), (xxxviii), (xxxix), (xl), (xli),
(xlvi), (xlvii), (lvi), (lxi), (lxiv), (lxvii), (lxix) and/or (lxx) of
Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be automatically
deemed to affect materially and adversely the interests of the
Certificateholders.
87
(b) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement must be effected prior
to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor
delivering to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for
such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,
the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with
all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the
Custodial Agreement, as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, review
such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer,
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, an initial
certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC
I
and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due
on such
Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution,
and the Sponsor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give
or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and
the
Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
88
For
any
month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine
the
amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate
Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of,
as
to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal
Balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on
such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus
all
outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable
P&I Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the
date of such substitution, the Sponsor will deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, upon receipt of a request for release in the form attached
to the
Custodial Agreement and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee
shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall deliver
to it
and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause
(a)
any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation,
any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date”
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer or the Trustee that
any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the Sponsor shall repurchase or substitute one or
more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within
ninety
(90) days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect
to
such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made
by
(i) the Sponsor if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage
does not result from a breach of a representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth
in
Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Sponsor 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.
89
(d) With
respect to a breach of the representations made pursuant to Section 5(xii)
of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects
the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Sponsor shall be required to take the actions set
forth
in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

SECTION
3.01. The

(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders.
On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer will deliver to the Securities
Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available
Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause
(2)
of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal
Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection

With
respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator on or
after
the first Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was

the Securities Administrator shall send written notice thereof to the Servicer.
The Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such
late

(b) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in permitted investments in accordance
with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. Funds in the Distribution Account

(a) Amounts
in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments as directed
in writing by the Master Servicer (for purposes of this Section 3.03, an
“Investment Account”) and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person
other
than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later
than
the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account
pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor
thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each
investment in the Distribution Account and, subject to subsection (b) below,
the
income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or
its
agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title
to
such investment to the Trustee or its nominee.
(b) All
earnings and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The
Master
Servicer shall remit from its own funds for deposit into the Distribution
Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the
Distribution Account.
(c) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in
the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02(a)(v), shall, at the written
direction of the Master Servicer, take such action as may be appropriate
to
enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution
of appropriate proceedings.
(d) The
Trustee, the Master Servicer or their respective Affiliates are permitted
to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s or
the Master Servicer’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment
adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian
with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates
to
effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting
transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not
be
considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee or the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 or this Section 3.03 or otherwise
payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses. Such additional
compensation shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund.
95
SECTION
3.04. Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in
a
manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the
next
Distribution Date, the Servicer will promptly furnish to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, a request for release in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, and which shall be substantially in the form attached to the
Custodial Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate
from
a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the
effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required
to
be deposited in the Collection Account have been or will be so deposited)
and
shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the
Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within five (5) Business
Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee and
the
Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized under the
Custodial Agreement and Servicing Agreement, to give, as agent for the Trustee,
as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an
instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument
of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the
Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it
being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account, unless it shall represent a Servicing
Advance.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to
the
Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
The
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of the Servicer,
and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of
a
request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form
attached to the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer), release within five (5) Business Days the related Mortgage
File held in its possession or control to the Servicer. Such trust receipt
shall
obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless
the
Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate
of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage
File
shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the
Servicer.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with a Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer may request release of the related Mortgage File
from
the Custodian, in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement,
in
the event the Servicer fails to do so.
96
Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents prepared and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably acceptable
to it and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against
any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will
not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.
So long as no Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Servicer shall have the right to execute any and all such court pleadings,
requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of the
Trustee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall in no
way be
liable or responsible for the willful malfeasance of the Servicer, or for
any
wrongful or negligent actions taken by the Servicer, while the Servicer is
acting in its capacity as attorney in fact for and on behalf of the
Trustee.
SECTION
3.05. Reserve
Fund.
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
a separate, segregated trust account entitled, “Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., in trust for the registered holders of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity
Loan Trust, Series 0000-XX0, Xxxxx Backed Pass-Through Certificates.” On the
Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into
the
Reserve Fund $1,000. In addition, the amount deposited in the Reserve Fund
shall
be increased by any payments received by the Securities Administrator under
the
Group I Cap Contract and deposited into the Reserve Fund for the benefit
of the
Class A-1 Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and under the Group
II Cap
Contract and deposited in the Reserve Fund for the benefit of the Class A-2
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Reserve
Fund the amounts described in Section 5.01(c)(7)(vi), rather than
distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 5.01(c)(7)(vii). On each such Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders
of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and will distribute such
amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a).
If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date,
the
Securities Administrator shall deposit, into the Reserve Fund on behalf of
the
Class CE Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Class
CE Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already
on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is
equal
to $1,000.
97
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Reserve Fund be disregarded as an entity
separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the
date
when either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b)
any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Reserve Fund for federal income
tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the
Reserve
Fund be treated as a partnership. The Master Servicer shall not be required
to
prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless
it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per
year)
for the preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the
creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing
the
partnership. All amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the
initial
deposit therein of $1,000 and any amounts paid to the Reserve Fund from the
Cap
Contracts) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III to the Holders
of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or
the
payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released by the
Trust
Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees.
The
Reserve Fund constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h). The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust
Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class
A
Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby
agrees
that the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the
amounts
described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate,
each
Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that its agreement to such action
by
the Securities Administrator is given for good and valuable consideration,
the
receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such
acceptance.
(e) At
the
direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
CE
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account
in
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount,
and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the
Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment,
and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator
or
an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. All income and gain earned
upon
such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no event shall
the
Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this
clause (e). If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
CE
Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in
the
Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without
liability for interest or compensation.
98
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders to receive payments
from
the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be
assigned a value of $1,000.

AND MASTER SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION
4.01. Master
Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall, from and after the Closing Date supervise, monitor
and
oversee the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to
service
and administer the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of
the
Servicing Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to do any and
all
things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master
servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing
Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with
the
Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s
obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports,
information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer
and
shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations
and
conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor
the
Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile
the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous
sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the
Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 5.02 and
any
other information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage
Loan
monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Distribution
Account pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement based on information
provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any limited
powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to it necessary
or
appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. The Trustee shall have
no
responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant
to
any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master
Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s misuse of any such
power of attorney.
The
Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator shall provide access
to
the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodian
or the
Securities Administrator regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and
the
servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory
agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon
reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the
office
of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee, the
Custodian or the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access
to
such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the
legal
right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities
Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy
any
of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose
at
a charge that covers the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Securities
Administrator’s actual costs.
100
The
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Master Servicer
upon
request any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents
necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to
a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against
any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan Document; (iii)
obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other
rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan
Document or otherwise available at law or equity.
SECTION
4.02. REMIC-Related
Covenants.
For
as
long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as a REMIC, and the
Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the
Sponsor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing
treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale
of
all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits
in an
Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared
at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a
substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or
Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to
any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel
stating
that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined
in
Section 11.01(f).
SECTION
4.03. Monitoring
of Servicer.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of
the
Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s
Certificate of the Servicer with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the
terms of the Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer,
in its
judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance
with
the terms of the Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant
to the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of
an
event that, unless cured, would constitute the Servicer Event of Default,
the
Master Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee thereof
and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action
as it
deems appropriate.
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement
and
shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement, subject to this Section and Article
VIII, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer thereunder in accordance with the provisions
of
Article VIII. In the event the rights and obligations of the Servicer (or
any
successor thereto) are terminated, the Master Servicer shall act as servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans or a successor servicer shall be appointed in accordance
with
the provisions of Article VIII. Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies,
shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time
as the
Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were
it the
owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs
of
such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall
not
be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent
that
the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs
and
expenses in pursuing such action.
101
(c) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if the Servicer is unable
to
fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third
party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor
Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the
Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including without
limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the
successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing
data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans
properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such
costs and expenses.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in the Servicing
Agreement.
(e) If
the
Master Servicer acts as successor to the Servicer, it will not assume any
liability for the representations and warranties of the terminated
Servicer.
SECTION
4.04. Fidelity
Bond.
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
SECTION
4.05. Power
to
Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article XI, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable
in
connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans,
including but not limited to the power and authority (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,
(iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv)
to
effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall
not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.03, shall
not
permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail
to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and
the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC
I,
REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition
of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless
the
Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense
of
the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not
cause
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in
the
imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may
be. The
Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing
Officer, with any powers of attorney prepared and delivered to it and reasonably
acceptable to it by empowering the Master Servicer or Servicer to execute
and
deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged
Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating
to the
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement
and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents prepared and
delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it, as the Master Servicer,
the
Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each
case
in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall
have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master
Servicer or the Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer
or the
Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee in connection with such Person’s use or misuse of any such power of
attorney). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it
is
likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit
such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee
in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.10. In the performance
of
its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor
and
shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name
of
the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
102
SECTION
4.06. Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with
the
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance
with
the Servicing Agreement and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed,
the
original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
4.07. Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the Custodian such documents
and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time
to
time as are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or
the
Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage
Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be remitted
to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account.
The
Master Servicer shall, and, subject to the provisions of the Servicing
Agreement, shall cause the Servicer to provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations,
banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners
of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or
other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only
upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices
of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.

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 or Insurance
Proceeds, shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in
the
Distribution Account.

4.08. Standard
Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
For
each
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer
under the Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard
fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in
accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement. It is understood
and
agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake
or
other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be
maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be
in
force and as shall require such additional insurance.
SECTION
4.09. Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall enforce the Servicer’s obligations under the Servicing
Agreement to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders all claims under any insurance policies and take such
actions
(including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the
insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies.
Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer
and
remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts
shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except
that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration
of
the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation
of
claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable
insurance policy need not be so deposited or remitted.
103
SECTION
4.10. Maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicer to take (to the extent
such action is prohibited by the Servicing Agreement), any action that would
result in noncoverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer, the Servicer would have
been
covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts
to
cause the Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage
Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage
insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions
of
the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit
the
Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy
that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note
and
is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the
provisions of the Servicing Agreement.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicer to present, on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any primary
mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance
policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans.
SECTION
4.11. Trustee
to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.
The
Trustee or the Custodian, shall retain possession and custody of the originals
(to the extent available) of any primary mortgage insurance policies, or
certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as
to
the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this
Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have
been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the Servicer have otherwise
fulfilled their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian shall also retain possession and custody
of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian,
upon
the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any primary mortgage insurance
policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments
that constitute Mortgage Loan Documents that come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
SECTION
4.12. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to foreclose upon, repossess or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing

no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments,
all
in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
4.13. Compensation
for the Master Servicer.
As
compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and the income from
investment of or earnings on the funds from time to time in the Distribution

accordance with Section 4.19. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this
Agreement.
104
SECTION
4.14. REO
Property.
(a) In
the
event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee,

Servicer shall cause the Servicer to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously
as
possible and in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement or.
Further, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to sell any REO Property
prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition
by
REMIC I unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied by the Servicer with
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
REO
Property subsequent to such three-year period 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, in which case the
Trust
Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions
contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the Servicer shall have applied
for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such
three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code,
in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
extension period. The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to protect and
conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by the
Servicing Agreement in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner
that
does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such
REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the REO Account

Master Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received
by it
from the Servicer with its own annual statement of compliance to be submitted
to
the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section.

the
event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by such parties is terminated, assigns its rights
and obligations under or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or

render other services to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
or
such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is
a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish
an
attestation report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters
from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as
to
whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly
stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion
regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such
registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable
to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and
not contain restricted use language.
(b) Promptly
after receipt of such assessment of compliance and attestation report from
the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by such parties, the Securities Administrator shall confirm
that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 4.16 is coupled with an
attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor
of
any exceptions.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall include each such attestation furnished to it from the
Servicer with its own attestation to be submitted to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section.
(d) In
the
event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by such parties is terminated, assigns its rights
and duties under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any
custodial agreement or servicing or sub-servicing agreement in the case of
a
Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, such party shall cause
a
registered public accounting firm to provide an attestation pursuant to this
Section 4.17 or such other applicable agreement notwithstanding any such
termination, assignment or resignation.
(e) Failure
of the Master Servicer to comply timely with this Section 4.17 shall be deemed
a
Master Servicer Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without
any
cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee
may
have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer
for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

case
may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying

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

Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(i)
or
Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and

of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Securities Administrator
in
writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately
prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates
having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess
of
the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate

Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the

crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer
shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this
Agreement or applicable law.
(h) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the

Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any
other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.
122
(i) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 10.01, whenever the Securities Administrator
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall,
no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail to
each
Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect
that:
(i)
|
the
Securities Administrator expects that the final distribution with
respect
to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date
but
only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
office of
the Securities Administrator therein specified,
and
|
(ii)
|
no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end
of the
related Interest Accrual Period.
|
Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Securities Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has
been
given pursuant to this Section 5.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.
If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, directly
or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting
such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust
fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall pay to
the
Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders
in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities
Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for final payment thereof in
accordance with this Section 5.01(i). Any such amounts held in trust by the
Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an Eligible
Account.
(j) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate
in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 5.04 and (b) distributed
to
the Holder of such Certificate in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof pursuant to this Section 5.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and
(ii)
in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be
reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated
to
such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section
5.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the
Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.01.

or Class P Certificates.
As
used
herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro
rata
basis”
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on
a
pro
rata
basis,
among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates
on
the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to
giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All
Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates
hereunder will be allocated among the, Certificates of such Class in proportion
to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
In
addition, in the event that the Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it, the Servicer shall deposit such
funds
into the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. If, after
taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss
is
reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase
the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates
with
the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated,
but
not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that
Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not
previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly
Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(7). The amount of any remaining
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class
of
Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to
such
Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant
to
Section 5.01(c)(7)(iii). Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled
to
any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases
for
any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such
increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.
129
(c)(i) Realized
Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution
Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the Uncertificated Balance
of
such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-46-B, starting with
the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been
reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same
numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro
rata
between
such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular
Interest II until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through
REMIC I Regular Interest II-46-B, starting with the lowest numerical
denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero,
provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical
denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro
rata
between
such REMIC I Regular Interests.

the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the
designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related loan group; second, to each REMIC II Regular
Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance
of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x)
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
loan
group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificate in the related loan group (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of
Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that
the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining
Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest XX.

receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely
basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, execute
or
arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own

(ii) In
the
event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required
to
be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either
not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth

other party hereto needed to prepare, execute or arrange for execution or file
such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not

In
the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval by March 25th, or

Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission,
the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a
final
executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Securities Administrator. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their respective duties under
the
Servicing Agreement, this Section 5.06(d) related to the timely preparation,
execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any
Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section
5.06(d) and Section 4.16, Section 4.17 and Section 4.18 of this Agreement.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any
liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K,
where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or
failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
135

been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby
represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all
such
required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject
to

the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form

have the obligation to prepare and file Exchange Act reports.
(f) The
Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising
out
of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this
Section 5.06 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
(g) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 12.01, this Section 5.06 may be amended without the
consent of the Certificateholders.
SECTION
5.07. Supplemental
Interest Trust.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in
the
name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the
Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest
Trust”). The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds
on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys
of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the
Supplemental Interest Trust amounts distributable to the Swap Provider by the
Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(2), (3), (5) and
(6) and Section 5.01(c)(7)(vii)
of this
Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement,
first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider for such
Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the
Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event.
136
(c) The
Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any REMIC.
The Holders of the Class CE Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Securities
Administrator to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Securities
Administrator shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit
in
the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Securities Administrator shall, at the
written direction of the majority of the Class CE Certificateholders, invest
amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted Investments.
In the absence of written direction to the Securities Administrator from the
majority of the Class CE Certificateholders, all funds in the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any
interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class
CE Certificates.
(d) For
federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust
on
each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(2), (3), (4), (6) and
(7) and Section 5.01(c)(7)(vii) shall first be deemed paid to the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the extent
of
the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such Distribution Date,
and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest
Trust
in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate
from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the date when
either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b) any Class
of
Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is recharacterized as
an
equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the
Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership. The Master Servicer
shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect
of
such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation (not
to
exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such filings, written
notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable
documentation evidencing the partnership.
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than
the
Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) shall be treated
as
having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class
CE
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
payable on such Distribution Date on the Regular Interest ownership of which
is
represented by such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO
Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the
amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO
Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to
the
most subordinate Class of such Certificates with an outstanding principal
balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional
principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated
as
having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the
Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Residual Certificates) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates
from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract
shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within
the
meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates
(other than the Class CE, Class P and Residual Certificates) of a Class IO
Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received
by
the Holders of such Certificates in respect of the Regular Interest ownership
of
which is represented by such Certificates, and as having been paid by such
Holders to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal
contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates and
Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership
of a
Regular Interest in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and
obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
137
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the holders of the
Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be assigned a value of $1,000.
(g) In
the
event that the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Distribution Date
in
April 2010, the Sponsor shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
swap
provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Swap Provider. If
the
Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor swap provider, any such Swap
Termination Payments will be remitted to the Securities Administrator for
payment to the holders of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates
in
accordance with Section 5.01(c).
SECTION
5.08. Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of an Class A Certificate and Mezzanine
Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in
a
REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Reserve
Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust.
For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will account
for
payments to each Class A Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate as follows:
each
Class A Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate will be treated as receiving
their
entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or
obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion
of
any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’s obligation under
the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a
REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination
Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by one or more
of
the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent
to
such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Class
A
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate.
138
The
REMIC
Regular Interest corresponding to a Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate
will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and
in
the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds,
except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will
equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the
Swap Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be
treated as being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the Class
CE
Certificates. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and
taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to a Class A
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount of
distributions on the Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate.

THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION
6.01. The
Certificates.
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I, REMIC
II and REMIC III.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and authenticated by the
Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to and upon the written
order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by the Securities Administrator
by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Securities
Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein
executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) The
Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as
one
or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold
such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name
of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration
of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates
(“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository’s normal procedures. The Securities Administrator is hereby initially
appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in
accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and,
if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and,
if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer
agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as
Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than
the
Depository. If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with the terms hereof, the successor Securities Administrator or, if it so
elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as
Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to
obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the
Book-Entry Custodian.
140
(c) The
Class
M-10, Class M-11 and Class CE Certificates initially offered and sold in
offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form
of
a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form (each,
a
“Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the
Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf
of Euroclear or Clearstream. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided,
however, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in a Definitive
Certificate in accordance with the requirements described in Section 6.02.
After
the expiration of the Release Date, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in
the
related permanent global certificate of the same Class (each, a “Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificate”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 6.02. Each Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate shall be deposited
with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator
as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of the Depository.
(d) The
Class
M-10 Certificates and Class M-11 Certificates offered and sold to Qualified
Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act
(“Rule 144A”) or institutional investors that are accredited investors within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act (“Institutional Accredited Investors”) will be issued in the form
of Book-Entry Certificates.
The
Class
CE Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold to QIBs in reliance
on
Rule 144A will be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.
(e) The
Trustee, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the
Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates) deal with the Depository as
the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising
the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate
Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such
Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the
Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates
with
respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Securities Administrator
may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of
consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the
Depository of such record date.
141
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of the Servicer Event
of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of
a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests
of
the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related
Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged
for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator
of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository,
as
applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer,
the
Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable in an amount less than
$10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall
be
issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such
Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION
6.02. Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or
agencies to be appointed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with
the
provisions of Section 9.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and
of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Class
M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate,
Class
CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the
Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Class
M-10
Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification
(other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by
the Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of: (i)
if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring
to
effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1; (ii) if such transfer
is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act,
written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, (iii) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance on Regulation S, a written certification
from
the prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-1 and (iv) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator that such transfer may be made without such
registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. Neither of the Depositor nor the Securities
Administrator is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under
the Securities Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not
otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Servicer against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
142
A
holder
of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate must
provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, with a certificate in
the
form of Annex A to Exhibit B-1 hereto certifying that the beneficial owner
of
the interest in such Global Certificate is not a U.S. Person (as defined in
Regulation S), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, must provide
to
the Trustee and Securities Administrator a certificate in the form of Exhibit
B-1 hereto prior to (i) the payment of interest or principal with respect to
such holder’s beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate and (ii) any exchange of such beneficial interest for a beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate.
(c) No
transfer of a Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. §
2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”) unless the Securities Administrator is provided with
an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, which
establishes to the satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that the
purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust
Fund
to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under
ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or
the Trust Fund. An Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with
the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate
of
the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall
have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Securities Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor
of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
143
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial owner
of a Offered Certificate, Class M-10 Certificates, Class M-11 Certificates
or
any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of the Offered Certificate, or interest therein, that
either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii)(A) it is an accredited investor within
the
meaning of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended from time to
time (the “Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate
and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust
are eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (for transactions by independent “qualified
professional asset managers”), 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective
investment funds), 90-1 (for transactions by insurance company pooled separate
accounts), 95-60 (for transactions by insurance company general accounts) or
96-23 (for transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”) in the case of an
Offered Certificate or PTCE 95-60 in the case of a Class M-10
Certificate.
Each
Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein that is acquired
after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust will be deemed to
have
represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 94-84 or FAN
97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE
2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg.
54487 (August 22, 2002) (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there
are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that
such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or
its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of
funds
used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance
company general account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set
forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
conditions described in this Section 6.02(c), the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any certificate
or
interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions described in this
Section 6.02(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the
Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or
holding.
144
(d) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Securities Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute
all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt
of, an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3) from the proposed Transferee, in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that
is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator
who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (Y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2)
to
the Securities Administrator stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
145
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Securities Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest
holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest
holder.”
(ii) The
Securities Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all
of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Securities
Administrator as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer
of a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall
have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate
to
the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of
such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d)
or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or
for
taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the extent
that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of such Residual
Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal
or
unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without
notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities
Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator.
Such purchaser may be the Securities Administrator itself or any Affiliate
of
the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities
Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any
sale
under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result
of its exercise of such discretion.
146
(iv) The
Securities Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary
to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
including the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of
such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment
company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders
at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable
compensation for providing such information may be charged or collected by
the
Securities Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v)
may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been
delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the party seeking
to
modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case may be,
to be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or a Person other
than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(e) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11, the Securities Administrator
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of
a
like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute,

the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the

certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest
in
the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest,
respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being
exchanged.
147

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

The
Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement
upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and Master Servicer and
undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer
herein.
SECTION
7.02. Merger

Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as

obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in
each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect
the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The
Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into
any
Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in
which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to
the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that any successor to the Master Servicer shall meet the eligibility
requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) of the last paragraph of

None
of
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any of
the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the
taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing

or
covenants made herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such
Person pursuant hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the

duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement. The Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may

loss,
liability or expense incurred other than by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or thereunder,
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None
of
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement or under
the Servicing Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense

Administrator and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
or the Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and
the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason
of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses,
costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Distribution Account as and to the extent provided in Article
III and Article IV, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of
the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Distribution
Account.
149
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall not be liable
for
any actions or inactions prior to the Cut-off Date of any prior servicer of
the
related Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any
action or inaction of the Servicer, except to the extent expressly provided

preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall
be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of
the
Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee
or a
successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.06
shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities
(other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such
successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept in writing such assignment
and delegation and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder
(a)
shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 (unless otherwise approved
by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee);
and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer
under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective
date
of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice
of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn
as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter
to
such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the

the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have
been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms
of
this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability
of
the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the effective
date
thereof.
SECTION
7.07. Rights
of
the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing or Sub-Contracting Agreement
shall provide that each Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, shall
afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal
business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and
any
such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable) in respect of the Master
Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master
Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable)
responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall
furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most
recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master
Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it
possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor possesses). To the
extent the Depositor and the Trustee are informed that such information is
not
otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not
disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Master Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) to its
legal
counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies and the
Certificateholders, (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any
case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information
that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from
sources other than the Depositor or the Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as
required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information
(A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or
contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor or the Master Servicer or (B)
to
any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney
of
the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises
such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed,
shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall
limit the obligation of the Master Servicer to comply with any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 7.07
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall require the Master Servicer to collect,
create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate
in its usual course of business. The Master Servicer shall not be required
to
make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made
for the reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under
this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee.
The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action
or
failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.
151
SECTION
7.08. Duties
of
the Credit Risk Manager.
For
and
on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and
recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans,
and
as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided
to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements,
and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer and/or Master
Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.
Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a
successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof
to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee,
and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the
Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective
until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager. The Trustee is hereby
authorized to enter into any Credit Risk Management Agreement necessary to
effect the foregoing.
SECTION
7.09. Limitation
Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither
the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders,
or
the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon
information provided by the Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith
in
its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith
on
any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith
upon
the accuracy of information furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the related
Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder
and
hereunder.
152
SECTION
7.10. Removal
of the Credit Risk Manager.
The
Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by Certificateholders
holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights in the Trust Fund, in the
exercise of its or their sole discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide
written notice of the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk
Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice
by
the Credit Risk Manager, with a copy to the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer.

SECTION
8.01. Servicer
Events of Default.
154
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the defaulting Servicer
(or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if the defaulting
Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the defaulting Servicer, including without limitation, any reasonable
out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses associated with the complete
transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation
of
such servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
Master Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively,
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses.
(b) “Master
Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any
failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly 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, or the breach by the Master
Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.04,
which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and
the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights; or
(ii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, 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 ninety (90) days; or
(iii) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to
all
or substantially all of its property; or
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(v) failure
by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its
obligations under Sections 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 or 4.18.
155
If
a
Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such
case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if
given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy
to
each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
On
or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or
the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation
payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation,
the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer,
any
and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment
of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent
to
such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested
by
it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement,
and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts
accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such
termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 7.03 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this
Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a
Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such
a
Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice
references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event
of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.
On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee
shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer (and, if
applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as Master Servicer
(and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement and
the
transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed
by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect
of
losses pursuant to Section 3.03) by the terms and provisions hereof
including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make P&I
Advances no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.03;
provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from
obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then
the
Trustee shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section
5.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder and neither the Trustee nor any
other
successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the
terminated servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled
to
the Master Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment
earnings on the Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder.
156
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf, any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all
of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination
of
the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer
and assumption of the master servicing by the Trustee (including, without
limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the
Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Default and (ii)
all
costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master
servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully
and
timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Account.
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.
SECTION
8.02. Master
Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Master
Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as the Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein or therein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Master Servicer
(except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this
Agreement the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section
2.03
of this Agreement and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses
pursuant to Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make P&I
Advances pursuant to the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the
Master Servicer is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to
make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer
shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this
Agreement; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by the Servicing Agreement shall not be considered a default by the
Master Servicer as successor to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that
(1) it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will
be a
period of transition (not to exceed ninety (90) days) before the actual
servicing functions can be fully transferred to the Master Servicer or any
successor Servicer appointed in accordance with the following provisions and
(2)
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s
failure to provide information required by the Servicing Agreement shall not
be
considered a default by the Master Servicer as successor to the Servicer. As
compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fee and all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans to which the terminated
Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following paragraph,
the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it
is
unable to so act promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth below
as
the successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption
of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the
terminated Servicer under this Agreement.
157
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee or the Master
Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount
of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any
successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein.
Any
successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established
mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac
approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor
Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current
ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of
not
less than $25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or

CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION
9.01. Duties
of
Trustee and Securities Administrator.
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and
after
the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties
of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. During the
continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, 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 its exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a
material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the
Securities Administrator will provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the
Trustee will provide notice to the Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer any complaint, claim, demand,
notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the Trustee
as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating
to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such notice (i) is
delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii) contains
information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the
real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive
or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless
such
Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and
such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing
or
waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred
with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities
Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor
the
Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on
the
part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to
the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this
Agreement;
160
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of
the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator,
respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to
any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25%
of
the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or
the
Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

Matters Affecting Trustee and Securities Administrator.
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of this Agreement:
(i) Before
taking any action hereunder, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may
request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other

order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it
to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(ii) The
Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel of its
selection and any advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full
and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or

the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation
to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto

to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be,
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured
or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as
a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of
such person’s own affairs;

to
the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have

shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within
a
reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity satisfactory
to
it against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(vii) The
Trustee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from (a) the investment
of
funds held in the Collection Account, (b) the investment of funds held in the
Distribution Account, (c) the investment of funds held in the Reserve Fund
or
(d) the redemption or sale of any such investment as therein
authorized;
(viii) The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default, Master Servicer
Event
of Default or Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which
is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the
Certificates and this Agreement;
162
(ix) The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to,
and
shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to
act
hereunder; and
(x) Should
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the nature of any action
required on its part to be unclear, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
may require, prior to such action, that it be provided by the Depositor with
reasonable further instructions.
(b) All
rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates,
enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the possession of
any
of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding
relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of
such
Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee and the Trustee is hereby empowered under
this Agreement to execute the Swap Agreement on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust in the form presented to it by the Swap Provider and shall have
no responsibility for the contents of the Swap Agreement, including, without
limitation, the representations and warranties contained therein. The Trustee
hereby directs the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator
is
hereby empowered under this Agreement to act on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee. Any funds payable by the Securities Administrator in

SECTION
9.10. Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the REMIC I or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Trustee 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

I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, and for the benefit
of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary
or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08

In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act
or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as
successor to a defaulting 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 REMIC
I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
IX.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee, or separately,
as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

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,

to Section 10.02 of this Agreement, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Trustee (other than the
obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05
of this Agreement and of the Servicer to make remittances to the Securities
Administrator and the Securities Administrator to make payments in respect
of
the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests or the Classes of
Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution
Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase
by
the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the
date hereof and (ii) the Last Scheduled Distribution Date. The purchase by
the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) the
greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans included
in REMIC I, plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included
in
REMIC I, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon
by
the Terminator and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion and (B) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I (as determined
by
the Terminator and the Trustee, as of the close of business on the third
Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination
is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this
Section 10.01), (ii) any amounts due and owing the Swap Provider under the
Swap Agreement as of the termination date, plus (iii) any amounts due the
Servicer and the Master Servicer in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees and

(b) The
Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer fails to exercise such optional
termination right within two years of the first Optional Termination Date,
the
Servicer (either the Master Servicer or the Servicer, the “Terminator”) shall
have the right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later
than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution
Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the
Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is reduced to less
than
or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the
Holder of the Residual Certificates agrees, in connection with any termination
hereunder, to assign and transfer any portion of the Termination Price in excess
of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any
such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the optional termination right may only be exercised by the Servicer
if (1) the Servicer receives written notification from the Master Servicer
that
the Master Servicer will not exercise such optional termination right or (2)
the
Servicer does not receive such written notification from the Master Servicer,
and the Master Servicer fails to exercise its optional termination right within
two years following the date such right became exercisable; provided, however,
in no event shall the Servicer exercise its optional termination right under
(1)
or (2) above unless it first provides written notice to the Authorized Officers
of the Sponsor that it intends to exercise such optional termination
right.
171
(c) Notice
of
the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Securities
Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each
REO Property by the Master Servicer, not earlier than the 15th day and not
later
than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final
distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such
final
distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case
specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate
and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue
in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates from and after
the
Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and
(iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. In the event such

and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall
deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the
final distribution on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the above-described Termination Price. The Securities Administrator
shall remit to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian

the
Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account
pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, as if such
funds had been deposited therein (including all unpaid Servicing Fees and all
outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances) and (ii) any other amounts
otherwise payable by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicer and the Swap Provider from amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below.
Upon certification to the Trustee by the Securities Administrator of the making
of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be
released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans,
and Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
delivered to it and necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon
presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 5.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders
to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust
and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.
If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 10.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator
shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice
all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender
of
their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust
and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining
in the trust funds. If within one (1) year after the final notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of
non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease.
No
interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
held
in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for
final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 10.01. Any such amounts
held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an
Eligible Account.

(a) In
the

to
each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel except as specified herein. The Securities Administrator, as agent

Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created

Securities Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the
duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file and the Trustee shall sign
all
of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses
of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor.
175
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such
REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued
by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among
its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such
compliance guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee upon receipt of additional reasonable
compensation, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as
are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service
the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to

of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) To
the
extent in the control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, each
such
Person (i) shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder
to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status
thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to
be
taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC
or
(B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC
Event”) unless such action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action
but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor
(iii)
shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether
or
not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing
that
it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event
could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities
Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur
no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust
REMIC
or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action,
which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with
respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take
any
such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The
Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost
of
same shall be home by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by
this
Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the
Trustee.
176
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created
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 contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the
Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall
be
charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if
such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article XI, (ii) to the Securities Administrator pursuant
to Section 11.03, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article XI, (iii)
to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of
its
obligations under Article IV or under this Article XI, (iv) to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article
III or under this Article XI, or (v) in all other cases, against amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.
(h) The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an
accrual basis.
(i) Following
the Startup Day, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall
accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection
with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with
Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the
related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or
other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any income from assets other
than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
“permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.
(k) The
Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number
with
the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for
each
REMIC. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall
provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain
information required to be reported to the holders of Regular Interests in
each
REMIC as required by IRS Form 8811.

the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (at the expense of the party
seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
177
SECTION

Securities Administrator agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred
by

(including to give effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to

inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and that such action shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided
that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel
shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter
from
each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such
amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Swap Provider (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed

by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 12.01, Certificates registered in the
name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement
required in connection with the compliance with or the clarification of any
reporting obligations described in Section 5.06 hereof shall not require
the consent of any Certificateholder and without the need for any Opinion of
Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation.
179
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not
result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding and that such amendment is authorized
or
permitted by this Agreement.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy
of
such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 12.01
shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event
shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.

or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied
by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and

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

Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed
so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to

and Section References.
All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise
provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION
12.09. Grant
of
Security Interest.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans
by
the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement
shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles
8
and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the
State
of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust
and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of
the
Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all
amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3)
the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of
the
Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to
the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding
such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts
or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2)
of
the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the
performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of
the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend
the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and
unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust
Fund
by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders.
183

of the Parties and Interpretation.

and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the
staff of the SEC from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that
(a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a
manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder
will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such
amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among
active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel,
or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties
shall comply with requests made by the Master Servicer, Securities
Administrator, Sponsor or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different
information as the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, Sponsor or the
Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions
of Regulation AB.
SECTION
12.12. Indemnification.
Each
of
the Depositor, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by such party, respectively, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, respectively, and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents,
and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and
other
costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) any breach by such party
of
any if its obligations under hereunder, including particularly its obligations
to provide any Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Compliance
Statement or any information, data or materials required to be included in
any
1934 Act report, (b) any material misstatement or omission in any information,
data or materials provided by such party (or, in the case of the Securities
Administrator or Master Servicer, any material misstatement or material omission
in (i) any Compliance Statement, Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
delivered by it, or by any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it,
pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure,
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure concerning the Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator), or (c) the negligence, bad faith
or
willful misconduct of such indemnifying party in connection with its performance
hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or the Depositor, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable, as a result of any claims,
losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one
hand and the indemnifying party on the other. This indemnification shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this
Agreement.
184

(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and

As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,

duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same

transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the representations
set
forth in Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.

Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer nor any such

REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility

Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to
any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.

permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of

purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section
6.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
A-4-4
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP (the “Servicer”) and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or
the
Servicer may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility
for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
A-4-5
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to
be
duly executed.

BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
evidencing
a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting
primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, first and second lien,
fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold
by
ACE
SECURITIES CORP.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN ACE SECURITIES
CORP., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE SERVICER, THE
TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR
THE
UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF
THE
UNITED STATES.
This
certifies that _______________ is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest
set forth above in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by
all
of the Class R Certificates in REMIC III created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among ACE
Securities Corp., as depositor (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.
as
master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (the
“Securities Administrator”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee
(the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately
preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record
Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced
by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders
of
Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement.
A-5-3
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if
such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing
at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to
such
Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class R Certificates, or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency
of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that
purpose as provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest in
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of
the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of
the
Swap Provider and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the
Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
A-5-4
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1, and (ii) in all other cases,
an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section
6.02 of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an
affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a
Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as
representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each of
REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III, (B) it will include in its income a pro
rata
share of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess
inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects
to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not
be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
A-5-5
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have
consented to the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the
Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any
REMIC.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP as the servicer (the “Servicer”) and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility
for their correctness.
A-5-6
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or
any

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
connection with the purchase from ______________________________ (the
“Transferor”) on the date hereof of the captioned trust certificates (the
“Certificates”), (the “Transferee”) hereby certifies as follows:
1. The
Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule
144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and has
completed either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto
as
Annex 1 or Annex 2. The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is being made
in
reliance on Rule 144A. The Transferee is acquiring the Certificates for its
own
account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer, and understands
that such Certificate 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 from registration under the 1933
Act.
2. The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the
Certificates and distributions thereon, (b) the nature, performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
referred to below, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with
the
Certificates, that it has requested.
3. The
Transferee: (a) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act
of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”) (each, a “Plan”), or any other person (including
an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan
assets” of any Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor (“DOL”)
regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or (b) has provided the Securities
Administrator with an opinion of counsel on which the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may rely, acceptable to
and
in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect
that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator to any obligation
or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
B-1-6
In
addition, the Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
the
Master Servicer that the Transferee will not transfer such Certificates to
any
Plan or person unless such Plan or person meets the requirements set forth
in

I
am a _____________________ of _______________________________ (the
“Owner”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
_________________________, the record owner of ACE Securities Corp.
Home
Equity Loan Trust, Series 0000-XX0 Xxxxx Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Class R Certificates (the “Class R Certificates”), on behalf of whom I
make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not
defined
herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates were
issued.
|
2.
|
The
Owner (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of
____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates
for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which
it has
received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
A
“Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified
organization” or a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a
“disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any
of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of
which
are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected
by any
such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government
or organization, any real electric or telephone cooperative, or any
organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject
to the
tax on unrelated business taxable
income.
|
3.
|
The
Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers
of the
Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R
Certificates after April 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on
the
transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person
includes
a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on
the
agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be
relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to
such
person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee
and, at
the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge
that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates
may be
a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of
a
“noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection
of
tax.
|
4.
|
The
Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the
Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an
interest in such entity. (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.)
|
5.
|
The
Owner is aware that the Securities Administrator will not register
the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee’s agent, delivers to the Securities Administrator, among other
things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
The
Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer
if it
knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such
affidavit and agreement are false.
|
6.
|
The
Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that
shall
be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned,
directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted
Transferee.
|
7.
|
The
Owner’s taxpayer identification number is
________________.
|
8.
|
The
Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the
Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(in
particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which
authorize the Securities Administrator to deliver payments to a person
other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities
Administrator in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in
violation of Section 6.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees
to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
|
9.
|
The
Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates
in
order to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
|
10.
|
The
Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R
Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder
of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit
of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that
the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may
incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R
Certificates.
|
11.
|
The

Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by the Seller,
shall
be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee, transferee or
designee.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS®

expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate
that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
by the Purchaser 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 (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further
agrees that it will not, and will not permit Countrywide Home Loans Servicing
LP
(the “Servicer”) or the Master Servicer to alter the codes referenced in this
paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the
terms
of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

of Mortgage Loans.
The

ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and
that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Closing

(d) Transfer
of Interest in Agreements.
The

assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.
(e) Examination
of Mortgage Files.
Prior

examination the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make
such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee

the
Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable
notice
to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within
sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such
examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that
do
not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement,
such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The
Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all
or
part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete

proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Group I Mortgage
Loan's originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of
origination the borrower had the ability to make timely payments on such
Group I
Mortgage Loan;
(lxii) [Reserved];
(lxiii) [Reserved];
(lxiv) With
respect to any Group I Mortgage Loans that are on manufactured housing, upon
the
origination of each such Group I Mortgage Loan the manufactured housing unit
either: (i) will be the principal residence of the borrower or (ii) will
be
classified as real property under applicable state law;
(lxv) [Reserved];
-14-
(lxvi) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that is secured by a second lien on the related
Mortgaged Property, either (i) no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required
by
the holder of any related senior lien or (ii) such consent has been obtained
and
is contained in the Mortgage File;
(lxvii) With
respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, the borrower was not encouraged or
required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Group I Mortgage
Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Group
I
Mortgage Loan's requirements and the borrower’s credit history, income, assets
and liabilities. For a borrower who seeks financing through a Group I Mortgage
Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the borrower should be
directed towards or offered the Group I Mortgage Loan originator’s standard
mortgage line if the borrower is able to qualify for one of the standard
products;
(lxviii) With
respect to a Mortgage Loan which is a second lien, as of the date hereof,
the
Seller has not received a notice of default of a senior lien on the related
Mortgaged Property which has not been cured;
(lxix) With
respect to a Group I Mortgage Loan which is a second lien, (a) such second
lien
Group I Mortgage Loan is secured by a one- to four-family residence that
is the
principal residence of the Mortgagor, (b) the origination amount for such
second
lien Group I Mortgage Loan did not exceed one-half of the one-unit limitation
set forth by Xxxxxxx Mac for first lien mortgage loans, without regard to
the
number of units, and (c) the aggregate original principal balance for the
first
lien and the second lien mortgage Loan do not exceed Xxxxxxx Mac’s applicable
loan limits for first lien mortgage loans for properties of the same type
as the
related Mortgaged Property;
(lxx) No
borrower under a Group I Mortgage Loan was charged “points and fees” in an
amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such
Group I
Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation,
“points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s
fees and charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making such Group
I
Mortgage Loan, whether they were paid to the lender or a third party; and
(y)
exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered
in
connection with the origination of the mortgage (such as attorney’s fees,
notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments;
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local
transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total,
do
not exceed 0.25 percent of the loan amount;
(lxxi) No
selection procedures were used by the Seller that identified the Mortgage
Loans
as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans
in the
Seller’s portfolio;
(lxxii) The
information set forth in the Closing Schedule is true and correct in all
material respects as of the Cut-off Date; and
-15-
(lxxiii) No
Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of the Mortgagor
as
a lessee under a ground lease of the related Mortgaged Property.
SECTION
7. Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and
Warranty.
(a) The
representations and warranties contained in Section 6 shall not be impaired
by
any review and examination of loan files or other documents evidencing or
relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Seller or
the
Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit
of
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations
and
warranties contained herein as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it
is
discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty was
inaccurate as of the date such representation and warranty was made or deemed
to
be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of
the
related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack of
knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance of such representation
and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
made,
the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph in
respect of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any breach of a representation or warranty contained in
clauses (viii), (xxxv), (xxxviii), (xxxix), (xl), (xli), (xlvi), (xlvii),
(lvi),
(lxi), (lxiv), (lxvii), (lxix) and/or (lxx) of Section 6 above, shall be
automatically deemed to affect materially and adversely the interests of
the
Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee.
Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material
document was not transferred by the Seller, as listed on a Custodian’s
preliminary exception report, as described in the Custodial Agreement, as
part
of any Mortgage File, or of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the
value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the Seller. Within sixty (60) days of
its
discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that
was
not transferred by the Seller as described above, or of materially defective
documentation, or any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Seller
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in
all material respects or, in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
document or cannot cure such defect or breach, the Seller shall, within ninety
(90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any such missing or
materially defective documentation or of any such breach of a representation
and
warranty, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase
Price
(as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii)
pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause
the
removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule
to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents
as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
within
five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section
7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser
of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section
shall
be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
-16-
(b) If
the
representation made by the Seller in Section 5(xii) is breached, the Seller
shall not have the right or obligation to cure, substitute or repurchase
the
affected Mortgage Loan but shall remit to the Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account, prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date,
the
amount of the Prepayment Charge indicated on the applicable part of the Closing
Schedule to be due from the Mortgagor in the circumstances less any amount
collected and remitted to such Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account.
(c) It
is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 7 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan (and to make payments
pursuant to Section 7(b)) constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against
the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations
and
warranties contained in Section 5(xii) or Section 6.

to
and including May 1, 2006 among the Seller, and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.
(“Countrywide”), as modified by the Assignment, Assumption and Recognition
Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2006 among the Seller, the Purchaser, the
Servicer and Countrywide (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) and the

the
Servicing Rights) described on the Closing Schedule in accordance with the
terms
and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically
understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable
on the
date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to
compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser
in
the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and
a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan

the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller
agrees
that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to
the
Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to
the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or
cause
to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
8
hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall
concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created
hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under
this
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may
be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in
Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have
paid
or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not
have
been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause
to be
paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery
of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the
security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been
released.
-19-
SECTION
13. Notices. All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of which

SECTION
14. Severability
of Provisions. Any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited
or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of
this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law
which
prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION
15. Agreement
of Parties. The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of
this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
16. Survival. The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by
it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
SECTION
17. GOVERNING
LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS
(EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. THE
PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
-20-
SECTION
18. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge
or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for
purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure
a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans
are
held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller
and
(b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
(2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant
by the
Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage
Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed
to be
“possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
and
(4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts
or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof
shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser 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 Mortgage Loans,
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 this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
19. Third
Party Beneficiary. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that DBSI and each of its respective
successors and assigns shall have all the rights of a third-party beneficiary
in
respect of Section 12 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon
and
directly enforce the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement.

APPENDIX
E - Standard & Poor’s Predatory Lending Categories
Standard
& Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of
factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note
that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included
in
Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

Dear
Sir
or Madam:
The
purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of
the
Transaction entered into between
Party A and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as supplemental interest
trust
trustee of the supplemental
interest trust (the "Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee" and
the
"Supplemental
Interest Trust",
respectively)
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement"), dated
and
effective as of July 1, 2006, among Ace Securities Corp., as Depositor,
Countrywide
Home Loans Servicing LP, as Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association,
as
Master Servicer and Securities Administrator and the Supplemental Interest
Trust
Trustee (each a "party"
and
together
"the
parties") on
the
Trade Date specified below (the "Transaction").
This
letter agreement (the "Agreement")
constitutes
the sole and complete "Confirmation",
as
referred to in the Master Agreement (as
defined below).
The
definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the
"Definitions")
as
published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., ("ISDA")
are
incorporated into this Confirmation. This
Confirmation will be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions
which
would be applicable if,
prior
to the Trade Date, the parties had executed and delivered an ISDA Master
Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border), in the form published by ISDA in
1992
(the "Master
Agreement") (but
without any Schedule except for the elections noted in Schedule B hereto).
In
the event of any inconsistency
between the provisions of the Master Agreement and this Confirmation, this
Confirmation will govern. Terms capitalized but not defined herein or in
the
Definitions incorporated herein shall have the
respective meanings attributed to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

In
addition, each party represents to the other party and will be

and as to whether the Transaction is appropriate or proper for
it based
upon
its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed
necessary and, with respect to Party B, as directed under the Pooling
and
Servicing
Agreement. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral)
of the
other
party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into
the
Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations
related
to the terms
and conditions of the Transaction shall not be considered investment
advice or
a recommendation to enter into the Transaction. No communication

or oral)

or
guarantee as to the expected results of the
Transaction.

support provider), then Party A shall, within (30) days of such Ratings Event
subject to
the
Rating Agency Condition (as hereinafter defined) and at its own expense (unless,

sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and
Notes. For purposes of this Transaction,
a "Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable
credit
support provider), if its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases
to
be rated at
least
"A-1" by S&P or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to
be rated
at
least "P-1" by Moody's or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
ceases
to be rated at least "A1" by Moody's (including in connection with a merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction by Party A or any applicable credit
support provider)
such ratings being referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings Thresholds."
If a
Further
Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to Party A (or any
applicable credit
support provider), then Party A shall, within (10) days of such Downgrade
Event
subject to the Rating Agency Condition (as hereinafter defined) and at its

(i) assign this Transaction hereunder to a third party that meets or
exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider of such third
party meets or exceeds, the Approved
Ratings Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Confirmation or
(ii)
obtain a guaranty of Party A's obligations under this Transaction from a
third
party that meets
or
exceeds the Approved Ratings Threshold. For purposes of this Transaction,
a
"Further
Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit
support
provider), if its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be
rated
at
least
"BBB-" by S&P or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to
be rated

least "P-1" on watch for downgrade by Moody's or its long-term unsecured

(including
in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by
Party
A or
any
applicable credit support provider). "Rating Agency Condition" means, with

or
failing to
act

that
the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal
of the
then-current rating of the
Certificates and Notes.

Additional
Termination Events
|
Additional
Termination Events will apply as specified below:
The
occurrence of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination
Event:
If
a Rating Agency Downgrade has occurred and Party A has not complied with
paragraph (j) above, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred
with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with
respect to such an Additional Termination Event.
If,
at any time, the Terminator purchases the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination
Event shall have occurred and Party B shall be the sole Affected Party with
respect thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv)
of the
Master Agreement, both Party A and Party B shall have the right to designate
an
Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event;
provided, further, that the Early Termination Date shall not be prior to
the
Optional Termination Date.
If,
at any time, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is amended or modified without
the prior written consent of Party A (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld), where such consent is required under the terms of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred
and Party B shall be the sole Affected Party.
If,
upon the occurrence of a Regulation AB Event (as defined in Part 5(o) below)
Party A has not, within 30 days after such Regulation AB Event complied with
any
of the provisions set forth in Part 5(o)(iii) below (provided that if the
significance percentage reaches 10% after a Regulation AB Event has occurred,
Party A must comply with the provisions set forth in Part 5(o)(iii) below
within
10 calendar days of Party A being informed of the significance percentage
reaching 10%), then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect
to
such Additional Termination Event.

Amendment
to ISDA Form
|

and
inserting the word "first" in place thereof.
(m)
|
Severability
|
If
any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Agreement, or the application
thereof to any other party or circumstance, shall be held invalid or
unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
shall
continue in full force and effect as if the Agreement has been executed with
the
invalid or unenforceable provision portion eliminated, so long as the Agreement
as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties
as to the subject matter of the Agreement and the deletion of such portion
of
the Agreement
will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of
the
parties. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations
to
replace any invalid
or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or conditions with a valid or
enforceable term,
provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close
as
possible
to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or
condition.

Compliance
with Regulation AB
|
(i)
|
Party
A agrees and acknowledges that while reporting requirements with
respect
to this
Transaction are operative by force of law, DB Structured Products,
Inc.
("DBSP") and
ACE Securities Corp. ("ACE") are required under Regulation AB under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange
Act of
1934, as amended
("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain information set forth in
Regulation
AB regarding
Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending
on
the aggregate "significance percentage" of this Agreement and any
other
derivative contracts
between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
and
Party B, as
calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation
AB.
|
(ii)
|
If,
solely while the relevant reporting requirements apply by force
of law to
this Transaction, DBSP or ACE determines, reasonably and in good
faith,
that the significance percentage of this Agreement has increased
to nine
(9) percent, then DBSP
or ACE, as the case may be, may notify Party A on a Business Day
after the
date
hereof of such increase in the significance percentage (such notification,
a "Regulation
AB Event"). DBSP and/or ACE, as applicable hereby agree with Party
A
to
provide Party A with the calculations and any other information
reasonably
requested by Party A with respect to the determination that led
to a
Regulation AB Event.
|
(iii)
|
Upon
the occurrence of a Regulation AB Event, Party A, at its own expense,
shall secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this
Agreement

Dear
Sir

the
Transaction entered into between Party A and HSBC Bank USA, National Association
as trustee of the ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity
Loan Trust, Series 0000-XX0 Xxxxx Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the

the
Trade Date specified below (the "Transaction").
This
letter agreement (the "Agreement")
constitutes
the sole
and
complete "Confirmation",
as
referred to in the Master Agreement (as defined below).
The
definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the
"Definitions")
as
published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., ("ISDA")
are
incorporated into this Confirmation. This
Confirmation will be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions
which

Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border), in the form published by ISDA in
1992
(the "Master
Agreement") (but
without any Schedule except for the elections noted in Schedule B hereto).
In
the event

If
a
Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to Party A (or any
applicable credit
support provider), then Party A shall, within (30) days of such Ratings Event
subject to
the
Rating Agency Condition (as hereinafter defined) and at its own expense (unless,
within
30
days of such Ratings Event, each of S&P and Xxxxx'x has reconfirmed the
rating of the Certificates which was in effect immediately prior to such
Ratings
Event), (i)
assign this Transaction hereunder to a third party that meets or exceeds,

applicable credit support provider of such third party meets or exceeds,
the
Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below) on terms substantially similar
to
this Confirmation, (ii) obtain a guaranty of Party A's obligations under
this
Transaction from a third party that meets
or
exceeds the Approved Ratings Threshold, in form and substance, (iii) post
collateral,
or (iv) establish any other arrangement, which will be sufficient to restore
the
immediately prior ratings of the Certificates. For purposes of this Transaction,
a "Ratings Event"
shall occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit support provider),
if its short-term
unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be rated at least "A-1" by S&P
or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be rated at
least
"P-1" by Xxxxx'x or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases
to be
rated at least "A1"
by
Xxxxx'x (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar
transaction by Party A or any applicable credit support provider) such ratings
being referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings Thresholds." If a Further
Ratings Event (as defined
below) occurs with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit support
provider), then
Party A shall, within (10) days of such Downgrade Event subject to the Rating
Agency Condition
(as hereinafter defined) and at its own expense (unless, within 10 days of
such
Ratings
Event, S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates which was in
effect immediately
prior to such Further Ratings Event), (i) assign this Transaction hereunder
to a
third party that meets or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support
provider of
such
third party meets or exceeds, the Approved Ratings Thresholds on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation or (ii) obtain a guaranty of Party
A's obligations under this Transaction from a third party that meets or exceeds
the Approved Ratings Threshold. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Further
Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit
support provider), if its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases
to
be rated at least "BBB-" by S&P or its short-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt ceases to be rated at least "P-1" on watch for downgrade
by Xxxxx'x or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be
rated
at
least "A2" on watch for downgrade by Xxxxx'x (including in connection with
a
merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by Party A or any applicable
credit support provider). "Rating Agency Condition" means, with respect to
any
particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that the party acting
or
failing to act must consult with each Rating Agency then providing a rating
of
the Certificates and receive from
each
Rating Agency a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction
would
not
cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the
Certificates.

Additional
Termination Events
|
Additional
Termination Events will apply as specified below:
The
occurrence of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination
Event:
If
a
Rating Agency Downgrade has occurred and Party A has not complied with paragraph
(j) above, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect
to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such
an
Additional Termination Event.
If,
at
any time, the Terminator purchases the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
10.01
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall
have
occurred
and Party B shall be the sole Affected Party with respect thereto; provided,
however,
that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the Master Agreement, only Party
B
shall have
the
right to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional
Termination
Event; provided, further, that the Early Termination Date shall not be prior
to
the
Optional Termination Date.
If,
upon
the occurrence of a Regulation AB Event (as defined in Part 5(o) below) Party
A
has
not,
within 30 days after such Regulation AB Event complied with any of the
provisions set forth in Part 5(o)(iii) below (provided that if the significance
percentage reaches 10% after a Regulation AB Event has occurred, Party A
must
comply with the provisions
set forth in Part 5(o)(iii) below within 10 calendar days of Party A being
informed of
the
significance percentage reaching 10%), then an Additional Termination Event
shall have
occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party
with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
(l)
|
Amendment
to ISDA Form
|
The
"Failure to Pay or Deliver" provision in Section 5(a)(i) of the Master Agreement
is hereby
amended by deleting the word "third" in the third line thereof and inserting
the
word "first"
in place thereof.
(m)
|
Severability
|
If
any
term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Agreement, or the application
thereof to any other party or circumstance, shall be held invalid or
unenforceable (in whole or in part)
for
any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
shall continue in full force and effect as if the Agreement has been executed
with the invalid
or unenforceable provision portion eliminated, so long as the Agreement as
so
modified
continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of
the
parties
as to the subject matter of the Agreement and the deletion of such portion
of
the Agreement
will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of
the
parties. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations
to
replace any invalid
or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or conditions with a valid or
enforceable
term,
provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close
as
possible
to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or
condition.

Compliance
with Regulation AB
|
(i)
|
Party
A agrees and acknowledges that while reporting requirements with
respect
to this
Transaction are operative by force of law, DB Structured Products,
Inc.
("DBSP") and
ACE Securities Corp. ("ACE") are required under Regulation AB under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange
Act of
1934, as amended
("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain information set forth in
Regulation
AB regarding
Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending
on
the aggregate "significance percentage" of this Agreement and any
other
derivative contracts
between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
and
Party B, as
calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation
AB.
|
(ii)
|
If,
solely while the relevant reporting requirements apply by force
of law to
this Transaction, DBSP or ACE determines, reasonably and in good
faith,
that the significance percentage of this Agreement has increased
to nine
(9) percent, then DBSP
or ACE, as the case may be, may notify Party A on a Business Day
after the
date
hereof of such increase in the significance percentage (such notification,
a "Regulation AB Event"). DBSP and/or ACE, as applicable hereby
agree with
Party A to provide Party A with the calculations and any other
information
reasonably requested by Party A with respect to the determination
that led
to a Regulation AB Event.
|
(iii)
|
Upon
the occurrence of a Regulation AB Event, Party A, at its own expense,
shall secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this
Agreement
on terms substantially
similar to this Agreement and subject to prior notification to
the Rating
Agencies,
which entity (or a guarantor therefor) and satisfies the Rating
Agency
Condition
and which entity is able to provide the information set forth in
Item
1115(b) of
Regulation AB (the "Regulation AB Information"). If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Regulation AB Information may be provided
by
incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act.

Limitation
on Events of Default
|
Notwithstanding
the terms
of
Sections 5 and
6
of
the
Master Agreement, if
at any
time and so
long
as the Party B has satisfied in full all its payment obligations under Section
2(a)(i) of
the
Master Agreement and has at the time no future payment obligations, whether
absolute or contingent, under such Section, then unless Party A is required
pursuant to appropriate
proceedings to return to the Party B or otherwise returns to the Party B
upon
demand
of
the Party B any portion of any such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event
described in Section 5(a) of the Master Agreement with respect to the Party
B
shall not constitute
an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the Party
B as
Defaulting
Party and (b) Party A shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination
Date
pursuant
to Section 6 of the Master Agreement only as a result of the occurrence of
a
Termination
Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) of the Master Agreement
with respect
to Party A as the Affected Party, or Section 5(b)(iii) with respect to Party
A
as the Burdened Party. For purposes of the Transaction to which this Agreement
relates, Party B's
only
obligation under Section 2(a)(i) of the Master Agreement is to pay the Fixed

subject to
the
Rating Agency Condition (as hereinafter defined) and at its own expense (unless,

and

by
Moody's (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar
transaction by Party A or any applicable credit support provider) such ratings
being referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings Thresholds." If a Further
Ratings Event (as defined
below) occurs with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit support
provider), then
Party A shall, within (10) days of such Downgrade Event subject to the Rating
Agency Condition

provider of
such
third party meets or exceeds, the Approved Ratings Thresholds on terms
substantially
similar to this Confirmation or (ii) obtain a guaranty of Party A's obligations
under
this Transaction from a third party that meets or exceeds the Approved Ratings
Threshold. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Further Ratings Event" shall
occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit support provider),

its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be rated at least
"BBB-" by S&P or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to
be rated at least "P-1" on watch for downgrade

or
failing to act must consult with each Rating Agency then providing a rating

respect
to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such
an
Additional Termination Event.
If,
at
any time, the Terminator purchases the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section

that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the Master Agreement, only Party
B
shall have
the
right to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional
Termination
Event; provided, further, that the Early Termination Date shall not be prior
to
the
Optional Termination Date.

Severability
|
If
any
term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Agreement, or the application
thereof to any other party or circumstance, shall be held invalid or
unenforceable (in whole or in part)
for
any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
shall continue in full force and effect as if the Agreement has been executed
with the invalid or unenforceable provision portion eliminated, so long as
the
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the
original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of the Agreement
and
the deletion of such portion of the Agreement will not substantially impair
the
respective benefits or expectations of the parties. The parties shall endeavor
to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid
or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or conditions with a valid or
enforceable
term,
provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close
as
possible
to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or
condition.

|
(ii)
|
If,
solely while the relevant reporting requirements apply by force
of law to
this Transaction, DBSP or ACE determines, reasonably and in good
faith,
that the significance
percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9) percent,
then DBSP
or ACE, as the case may be, may notify Party A on a Business Day
after the
date
hereof of such increase in the significance percentage (such notification,
a "Regulation

A
to
provide Party A with the calculations and any other information
reasonably
requested by Party A with respect to the determination that led
to a
Regulation AB Event.
|
(iii)

Upon
the occurrence of a Regulation AB Event, Party A, at its own expense,
shall secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this
Agreement
on terms substantially
similar to this Agreement and subject to prior notification to

upon
demand of the Party B any portion of any such payment, (a) the occurrence
of an
event described
in Section 5(a) of the Master Agreement with respect to the Party B shall
not
constitute
an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the Party
B as
Defaulting Party and (b) Party A shall be entitled to designate an Early

to Section 6 of the Master Agreement only as a result of the occurrence of
a

with respect
to Party A as the Affected Party, or Section 5(b)(iii) with respect to Party

ARTICLE
IV.
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Countrywide
to Act as Servicer.
Countrywide,
as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer Mortgage Loans
sold pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to
be done
any and all things, in connection with such servicing and administration,
that
Countrywide may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms
of
this Agreement. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, Countrywide
shall employ procedures in accordance with the customary and usual standards
of
practice of prudent mortgage servicers.
In
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Countrywide may waive, modify
or
vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
if in Countrywide’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Purchaser; provided, however, that Countrywide shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would decrease the Mortgage Interest
Rate
(other than by adjustments required by the terms of the Mortgage Note), defer
or
forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce the
outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make
future advances or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan without
the Purchaser’s consent. Countrywide may permit forbearance or allow for
suspension of Monthly Payments for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days
if
the Mortgagor is in default or Countrywide determines in its reasonable
discretion, that default is imminent and if Countrywide determines that granting
such forbearance or suspension is in the best interest of the Purchaser.
If any
modification, forbearance or suspension permitted hereunder allows the deferral
of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall
include in each remittance for any month in which any such principal or interest
payment has been deferred (without giving effect to such modification,
forbearance or suspension) an amount equal to such month’s principal and one (1)
month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the then unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and shall be entitled to reimbursement
for such advances only to the same extent as for Monthly Advances made pursuant
to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Countrywide
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver
on
behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. If reasonably required by Countrywide, the Purchaser
shall
furnish Countrywide with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or
appropriate to enable Countrywide to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement.
Countrywide
shall not waive any Prepayment Charge in the event of a Principal Prepayment
in
full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, which is required by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note unless, (i) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar mortgage loans and such waiver is related to a default
or
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of
Countrywide, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the
value
of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver
is
made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such
refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default,
(ii)
such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law
or the
collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable
law, or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered
“predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable
federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity
and
having jurisdiction over such matters. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Charge payable under
the
terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Charge
set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or other information provided to
Countrywide, Countrywide shall not have any liability or obligation with
respect
to such difference, and in addition shall not have any liability or obligation
to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to
collect
such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information
on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. If Countrywide waives or does not collect
all or
a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full
or
in part due to any action or omission of Countrywide, other than as provided
above, Countrywide shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or
such
portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account
for
distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Countrywide
will furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information relating to the
Mortgagors’ respective credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Credit
Information Company on a monthly basis. As an independent contract servicer,
Countrywide shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Countrywide
shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with the customary and usual
standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers, to collect all payments
due
under each Mortgage Loan to the extent such procedures shall be consistent
with
this Agreement, the terms and provisions of any related LPMI Policy, and
applicable law.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) Foreclosure.
Countrywide 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. Countrywide
shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans, in
such
manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.
The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage, Countrywide shall not be required to
expend
its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine
in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable
by
Countrywide through Other Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from
the
related Mortgaged Property. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage
Loan remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Countrywide
shall commence foreclosure proceedings if it is in the best interest of the
Purchaser. Countrywide shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement
of foreclosure proceedings. Such notice may be contained in the reports prepared
by Countrywide and delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Countrywide shall be responsible for all costs
and
expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure proceedings; provided, however,
that
it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from proceeds from the related
Mortgaged Property.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
as to which Countrywide has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge
of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged
Property, Countrywide shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action, with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Purchaser would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee in possession of, or to be
an
owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless Countrywide has
also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(i) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(ii) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 4.03 shall
be
advanced by Countrywide, subject to Countrywide’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 4.05(c).
If
Countrywide determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring
any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum
based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then Countrywide shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by Countrywide, subject to Countrywide’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 4.05(c).
(c) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in
the
following order of priority: First, to reimburse Countrywide for any related
unreimbursed Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 4.05(b); second to reimburse
Countrywide for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section
4.05(c); third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan (to the
extent no Monthly Advance has been made for such amount or any such Monthly
Advance has been reimbursed), to the date of the Final Recovery Determination,
or to the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are
to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of
the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued
and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will
be
allocated by Countrywide as follows: First, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to
Countrywide pursuant to Section 4.05(c).
Section
4.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
Countrywide
shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each
Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain one (1) or more Custodial Accounts, in the
form
of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account(s)
shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of
Exhibit F.
Countrywide
shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days, and
retain
therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it
subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date

in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy

therefor);

Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution
(such deposit shall be made from Countrywide’s own funds, without reimbursement
therefor up to a maximum amount per month equal to the lesser of one-half
of (a)
one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate and (ii) the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans, or (b) the aggregate Servicing
Fee
actually received for such month for the Mortgage Loans); and
(j) any
amounts required to be deposited by Countrywide in connection with any REO

The
Purchaser understands and agrees that, without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption
fees
(to the extent permitted by Section 4.16) need not be deposited by Countrywide
in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid by the depository institution
on
funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall accrue to the benefit of
Countrywide and Countrywide shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such
interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(d).
Section
4.05 Permitted

if
applicable. Countrywide’s right to reimbursement hereunder shall be prior to the
rights of the Purchaser, except that, where Countrywide is required to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04, Countrywide’s right
to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser
of the
Repurchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser
with
respect to such Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Countrywide
may
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances from any funds in the Custodial Account
if
it has determined that such funds are nonrecoverable advances or if all funds,
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, have previously been remitted
to the
Purchaser). The determination by Countrywide that it has made a nonrecoverable
advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a
nonrecoverable advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered
to the Purchaser;
(c) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing
Fees (Countrywide’s reimbursement for Servicing Advances and/or Servicing Fees
hereunder with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to proceeds
from
Cash Liquidation, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, and Other
Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that Countrywide may reimburse itself
for
Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees from any funds in the Custodial Account
if
all funds, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, have previously been
remitted to the Purchaser);
(d) to
pay to
itself as servicing compensation (i) any interest earned on funds in the
Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than
each
Remittance Date), (ii) the Servicing Fee and the LPMI Fee, if applicable,
from
that portion of any payment or recovery of interest on a particular Mortgage
Loan and (iii) any Prepayment Interest Excess for the period;
(e) to
pay to
itself, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant
to
Section 3.03, all amounts received but not distributed as of the date on
which
the related Repurchase Price is determined;
(f) to
reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Custodial Account in error;
and
(g) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Countrywide
shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage
Loan
basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account
pursuant to such subclauses (b) through (g) above. Countrywide shall provide
written notification in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to the Purchaser,
on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals
from the Custodial Account pursuant to nonrecoverable advances in subclause
(b)
above.
Section
4.06 Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
Countrywide
shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each
Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any
of
its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one (1)
or
more Escrow Accounts in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which
accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The creation of such Escrow Account(s)
shall be evidenced by an Escrow Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit
G.
Countrywide
shall deposit in the Escrow Account(s) within two (2) Business Days, and
retain
therein, (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans,
and
(b) all Other Insurance Proceeds that are to be applied to the restoration
or
repair of any Mortgaged Property. Countrywide shall make withdrawals therefrom
only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for
such
other purposes in accordance with Section 4.07. Countrywide shall be entitled
to
retain any interest paid by the depository institution on funds deposited
in the
Escrow Account except interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid
to
the Mortgagor. Countrywide shall pay Mortgagor interest on the escrowed funds
at
the rate required by law notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest
bearing or the interest paid by the depository institution thereon is
insufficient to pay the Mortgagor interest at the rate required by
law.
Section
4.07 Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Countrywide
may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Escrow Account(s) for the
following purposes: (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, and comparable items;
(b)
to reimburse Countrywide for any Servicing Advance made by Countrywide with
respect to a related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such reimbursement
shall only be made from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that
represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (c)
to
refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages; (d)
for
transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; (e) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property; (f) to pay to Countrywide, or to the Mortgagors to the extent required
by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; (g)
to
reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Escrow Account in error;
or
(h) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
4.08 Transfer
of Accounts.
Countrywide
may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
depository institution from time to time provided that such Custodial Account
and Escrow Account shall at all times be Eligible Accounts. Countrywide shall
provide prompt written notice of such transfer to the Purchaser.
Section
4.09 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of (a) ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates
and
other charges that are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property;
(b)
primary mortgage insurance premiums; and (c) fire and hazard insurance premiums.
Countrywide shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of
such
charges, including renewal premiums, and shall effect payment thereof prior
to
the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable using Escrow Payments which shall have
been
estimated and accumulated by Countrywide in amounts sufficient for such
purposes. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments,
Countrywide shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor
at
the time they first become due. Countrywide assumes full responsibility for
the
timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all
such
bills, irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of
same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and shall make advances from its
own
funds to effect such payments.
Unless
otherwise provided in the related Purchase Confirmation, no Mortgage Loan
has in
effect as of the Closing Date any mortgage pool insurance policy or other
credit
enhancement and the insurance or guarantee relating thereto, as applicable
(excluding such exception, the “Credit Enhancement”), and Countrywide shall not
be required to take into consideration the existence of any such Credit
Enhancement for the purposes of performing its servicing obligations hereunder.
If the Purchaser shall at any time after the related Closing Date notify
Countrywide in writing of its desire to obtain any such Credit Enhancement,
the
Purchaser and Countrywide shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for the
procurement and servicing of such Credit Enhancement. Countrywide shall service
LPMI Loans in accordance with the same procedures required with respect to
PMI
Policies, except as provided in such LPMI Policy.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
Countrywide
shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is located in an amount that is equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (b) the greater
of (i)
the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the percentage
such
that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in
an
area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management
Agency
as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made
available, Countrywide shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the National Flood
Insurance Administration program (or any successor thereto) with a generally
acceptable insurance carrier and with coverage in an amount not less than
the
lesser of (x) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; (y) the
maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; or (z) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994. Countrywide shall also maintain on REO Property,
(1) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is
not
less than the maximum insurable value of the improvements that are a part
of
such property; (2) liability insurance; and (3) to the extent required and
available under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, flood insurance
in an amount as provided above. Countrywide shall deposit in the Custodial
Account all amounts collected under any such policies except (A) amounts
to be
deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair
of the
Mortgaged Property or REO Property and (B) amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Countrywide’s normal servicing procedures. The
Purchaser understands and agrees that no earthquake or other additional
insurance on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan shall be
maintained by Countrywide or Mortgagor. All such policies shall be endorsed
with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Countrywide and shall provide
for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Countrywide of any
cancellation, reduction in the amount of coverage or material change in
coverage. Countrywide shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice
in selecting either the insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that
Countrywide shall only accept insurance policies from insurance companies
acceptable to an Agency and licensed to do business in the state wherein
the
property subject to the policy is located.
Section
4.11 [Reserved].
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
Countrywide
shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors
and
omissions insurance policy with responsible companies, with broad coverage
of
all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard
to
the Mortgage Loan who handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to
the
Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall
be in
the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure
Countrywide against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud,
errors and omissions and negligent acts of its officers, employees and agents.
Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure Countrywide against losses
in
connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant
to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without
having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No
provision of this Section 4.12 shall diminish or relieve Countrywide from
its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage
under any such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall
be
at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by an Agency for an
approved seller/servicer. Upon request of the Purchaser, Countrywide shall
cause
to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond
and
insurance policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from
the
surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall
in no
event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the Purchaser.
Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) Title.
In
the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure
or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in
the name of Countrywide for the benefit of the Purchaser, or in the event
the
Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in
the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under
the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person(s) as shall
be
consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by Countrywide from an attorney
duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.
Any Person(s) holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge
in
writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the
Purchaser.
(b) Management.
Countrywide shall either itself or through an agent selected by Countrywide,
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner
that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for
its
own account. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the
arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held,
Countrywide shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
in a
manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the
receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non permitted assets” within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. Countrywide
shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition
of
title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least
annually thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances.
Countrywide shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Credit File and copies
thereof
shall be forwarded by Countrywide to the Purchaser within five (5) days of
the
Purchaser’s request therefor. Countrywide shall attempt to sell the REO Property
(and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as Countrywide
deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. Countrywide shall deposit,
or
cause to be deposited, within two (2) Business Days of receipt, in the Custodial
Account all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of each REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard
insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent
acting on behalf of Countrywide. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, upon written notice to Countrywide, the Purchaser
may
elect to assume the management and control of any REO Property; provided,
however, that prior to giving effect to such election, the Purchaser shall
reimburse Countrywide for all previously unreimbursed or unpaid Monthly
Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees related to such REO
Property.
(c) Disposition.
Subject to the following paragraph, Countrywide shall use reasonable efforts
to
dispose of each REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell each REO
Property no later than one (1) year after title to such REO Property has
been
obtained, unless Countrywide determines, and gives an appropriate notice
to the
Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly disposition
of any
REO Property. If a period longer than one (1) year is necessary to sell any
REO
Property, Countrywide shall, if requested by the Purchaser, report monthly
to
the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to
the
arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such
REO Property shall be disposed of within three (3) years or such other period
as
may be permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
With
respect to each REO Property, Countrywide shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall establish
and
maintain a separate REO account for each REO Property in the form of a
non-interest bearing demand account (each, a “REO Account”), unless an Opinion
of Counsel is obtained by Countrywide to the effect that the classification
as a
grantor trust or REMIC for federal income tax purposes of the arrangement
under
which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property is held will not be adversely
affected by holding such funds in another manner. Each REO Account shall
be
established with Countrywide or, with the prior consent of the Purchaser,
with a
commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings association. The creation
of
any REO Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement substantially in
the
form of the Custodial Account Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit F hereto.
A
Copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon
request.
Countrywide
shall deposit or cause to be deposited, within two (2) Business Days in each
REO
Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and
shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard
insurance pursuant to Section 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent
acting on behalf of Countrywide. Countrywide shall be entitled to retain
interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account.
On or before each Determination Date, Countrywide shall withdraw from each
REO
Account and deposit into the Custodial Account the net income from the REO
Property on deposit in the REO Account.
Each
REO
Disposition shall be carried out by Countrywide at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as Countrywide deems to be in a manner that maximizes
the
net present value of the recovery to the Purchaser. If, as of the date title
to
any REO Property was acquired by Countrywide, there were outstanding
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances or Servicing Fees with
respect
to the REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan, Countrywide, upon an REO
Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and Servicing Fees
from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds
from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to Countrywide as provided above,
shall be deposited in the related REO Account and shall be transferred to
the
Custodial Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt
thereof for distribution on the succeeding Remittance Date to the Purchaser
in
accordance with Section 5.01.
Section
4.14 Notification
of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall adjust the
Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Adjustment Date and shall
adjust
the Monthly Payment on the related Payment Adjustment Date in compliance
with
the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage
Note.
If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected
for
determining the Mortgage Interest Rate because the original index is no longer
available, the same index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note
which
requires a new index to be selected, provided that such selection does not
conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Countrywide shall execute
and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and
the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest
Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Countrywide shall promptly, upon
written request therefor, deliver to the Purchaser such notifications and
any
additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used
to
calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by Countrywide
or
the Purchaser that Countrywide has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate
or
a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and
Mortgage, Countrywide shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account,
from
its own funds, the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby
without reimbursement therefor.
Section
4.15 Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall execute and deliver
to
the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law
and
the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity
date
and final balloon payment.
Section
4.16 Assumption
Agreements.
Countrywide
shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale”
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that Countrywide
shall
not exercise any such right if prohibited from doing so by law or the terms
of
the Mortgage Note. If Countrywide reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, Countrywide shall enter
into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property
has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption
is allowed pursuant to this Section 4.16, the Purchaser authorizes Countrywide
to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the Person to whom
the
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note.
Any
such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption
agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, Countrywide
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures employed by Countrywide
for mortgage loans originated by Countrywide for its own account in effect
at
the time such assumption or substitution is made. With respect to an assumption
or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related
Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan shall not be changed. Countrywide shall notify
the
Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement
has
been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser or its designee the original
of
any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document
shall
be added to the related Collateral File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Collateral File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Countrywide shall not be deemed
to be
in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by
reason
of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption
that
Countrywide may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
For purposes of this Section 4.16, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section
4.17 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Collateral Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by Countrywide of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, Countrywide shall immediately provide written notice to the
Purchaser or the Custodian. Such notice shall include a statement to the
effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment,
which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.04, have been or will be so deposited and shall request delivery to it
of the
portion of the Collateral File held by the Purchaser. Upon receipt of such
notice and request, the Purchaser, or its designee, shall within five (5)
Business Days release or cause to be released to Countrywide the related
Collateral Documents and Countrywide shall prepare and process any satisfaction
or release. In the event that the Purchaser fails to release or cause to
be
released to Countrywide the related Collateral Documents within five (5)
Business Days of Countrywide’s request therefor, the Purchaser shall be liable
to Countrywide for any additional expenses or costs, including, but not limited
to, outsourcing fees and penalties, incurred by Countrywide resulting from
such
failure. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Purchaser or the Custodial
Account.
In
the
event Countrywide satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage
instruments, Countrywide, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser
the
then unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof
in
the Custodial Account. Countrywide shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring
Countrywide against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the service or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days of Countrywide’s request and
delivery to the Purchaser, or the Custodian, of a servicing receipt signed
by a
Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released to Countrywide the portion
of
the Collateral File held by the Purchaser or the Custodian. Pursuant to the
servicing receipt, Countrywide shall be obligated to return to the Purchaser
the
related Collateral File when Countrywide no longer needs such file, unless
the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Collateral
File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee
or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or
pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged
Property either judicially or non-judicially. In the event that the Purchaser
fails to release or cause to be released to Countrywide the portion of the
Collateral File held by the Purchaser or its designee within five (5) Business
Days of Countrywide’s request therefor, the Purchaser shall be liable to
Countrywide for any additional expenses or costs, including, but not limited
to,
outsourcing fees and penalties, incurred by Countrywide resulting from such
failure. Upon receipt of notice from Countrywide stating that such Mortgage
Loan
was liquidated, the Purchaser shall release Countrywide from its obligations
under the related servicing receipt.
Section
4.18 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, Countrywide shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account, or to retain from interest payments
on the
Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as Servicing Fees. Additional servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees (as provided in Section 4.16),
Prepayment Interest Excess amounts due Countrywide, late payment charges
or
otherwise shall be retained by Countrywide to the extent not required to
be
deposited in the Custodial Account. Countrywide shall be required to pay
all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided herein.
Section
4.19 Superior
Liens.
In
the
event that Countrywide has reasonable cause to believe or has been notified
that
either a senior or junior lien is in default, Countrywide shall attempt to
determine the status of the related senior lien, if applicable.
If
Countrywide discovers, upon investigation of the status of the senior lien
pursuant to the previous paragraph, that any superior lienholder has accelerated
or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the first lien, or has
declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or promissory
note
secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the
related
Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, Countrywide shall take, on behalf
of the
Purchaser, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the
Purchaser in accordance with accepted servicing practices, including advancing
an amount that is greater than the then outstanding principal balance of
the
related Second Lien Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set
forth herein, Countrywide shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance
(including those contemplated in this Section 4.19) if it determines in its
reasonable good faith judgment that such Servicing Advance would not be
recoverable pursuant to the Agreement.
If
the
Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan
on
the related Mortgaged Property as of the related Cut-off Date, then Countrywide,
in its capacity as servicer, may consent to the refinancing of the prior
senior
lien, provided that such consent shall be in accordance with accepted servicing
practices and provided further that such refinancing of such prior senior
lien
does not adversely affect the Purchaser’s interest as the owner of such Mortgage
Loan.
Section
4.20 Compliance
with REMIC Provisions.
If
a
REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which
the
Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, Countrywide shall not take any
action,
cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be
taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of
the Code) unless Countrywide has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of
any
such tax.
ARTICLE
V.
PROVISIONS
OF PAYMENTS AND REPORTS TO PURCHASER
Section
5.01 Distributions.
On
each
Remittance Date, Countrywide shall distribute to the Purchaser (a) all amounts
credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding
Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 4.05; plus (b) all Monthly Advances, if any,
that
Countrywide is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03; minus (c)
any
amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the related
Principal Prepayment Period; minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly
Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding

after
the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest,
adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, collected through such
Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period
prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in (b), (c) and
(d)
above.
All
remittances made to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date will be made to
the
Purchaser, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned and held by the
Purchaser, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
in
accordance with the following wire transfer instructions:

With
respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser on or after the second
Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due,
Countrywide shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment
at an
annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time
to
time at its principal office by JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, New York,
as its
prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one percentage
point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Such interest shall be paid by Countrywide to the Purchaser on the date
such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the
day
following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which
such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along
with
such late payment. The payment by Countrywide of any such interest shall
not be
deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default
by
Countrywide.
Section
5.02 Periodic
Reports to the Purchaser.
(a) Monthly
Reports. Not later than the sixteenth (16th) day of each month or if such
day is
not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately following, Countrywide
shall furnish to the Purchaser in Excel format, and delivered via email to
XXXxxxxXxxxXxx@Xxxx.XX.xxx, a monthly report containing all of the data fields
listed on Exhibit L attached hereto, which report shall include with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan the following loan-level information: (i) the scheduled
balance as of the last day of the related Due Period, (ii) all Principal
Prepayments applied to the Mortgagor’s account during the related Principal
Prepayment Period, and (iii) the delinquency and bankruptcy status of the
Mortgage Loan, if applicable.
(b) Miscellaneous
Reports. Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition
thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Countrywide
shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such
Mortgaged Property, which report may be included with any other reports prepared
by Countrywide and delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. With respect to any REO Property, and upon
the
request of the Purchaser, Countrywide shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement
describing Countrywide’s efforts during the previous month in connection with
the sale of such REO Property, including any rental of such REO Property
incidental to the sale thereof and, on each Remittance Date, an operating
statement relating thereto. Countrywide shall also provide the Purchaser
with
such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser
to prepare its federal income tax return and as the Purchaser may reasonably
request from time to time. Countrywide shall provide the Purchaser with
information required in order to file information reports with respect to
the
receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property, and information
relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged
Property. The Purchaser agrees to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Countrywide in connection with complying with any request made
by
the Purchaser hereunder if such information is not customarily provided by
Countrywide in the ordinary course of servicing mortgage loans similar to
the
Mortgage Loans; Countrywide shall provide a written estimate of any such
expenses.
Section
5.03 Monthly
Advances by Countrywide.
Not
later
than the close of business on the Determination Date preceding each Remittance
Date, Countrywide shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal
to all
payments not previously advanced by Countrywide, whether or not deferred
pursuant to Section 5.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest
not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent as
of the
close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Determination
Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Countrywide may use amounts
on
deposit in the Custodial Account for future distribution to the Purchaser
to
satisfy its obligation, if any, to deposit delinquent amounts pursuant to
the
preceding sentence. To the extent Countrywide uses any funds being held for
future distribution to the Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this
Section 5.03, Countrywide shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount
equal
to such used funds no later than the Determination Date prior to the following
Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Custodial Account on such
Remittance Date are less than the amounts to be remitted to the Purchaser
pursuant to Section 5.01.
Countrywide’s
obligation to make such advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through
the earliest of: (a) the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in
full
of the Mortgage Loan; or (b) the Remittance Date prior to the Remittance
Date
for the distribution of any Liquidation Proceeds, Other Insurance Proceeds
or
Condemnation Proceeds which, in the case of Other Insurance Proceeds and
Condemnation Proceeds, satisfy in full the indebtedness of such Mortgage
Loan.
In no event shall Countrywide be obligated to make an advance under this
Section
5.03 if at the time of such advance it reasonably determines that such advance
will be unrecoverable. The determination by Countrywide that it has made
an
unrecoverable Monthly Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made,
would constitute an unrecoverable Monthly Advance, shall be evidenced by
an
Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.
Section
5.04 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
Countrywide
shall deliver to the Purchaser on or before March 15th of each year, beginning
in the year following the Closing Date, an officer’s certificate, signed by a
senior officer of Countrywide, stating that (i) a review of the activities
of
Countrywide during the preceding fiscal year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, (ii) based on such
review, Countrywide has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such fiscal year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment
of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer
and
the nature and status thereof and the actions being taken by Countrywide
to cure
such default, and (iii) all reports and information provided to the Purchaser
by
Countrywide, pursuant to Countrywide’s reporting requirements under the
Agreement, are accurate and complete in all material respects. Copies of
such
statement may be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a
prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
Section
5.05 Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
Countrywide
shall, on or before March 15th of each year, beginning in the year following
the
related Closing Date, cause, at its sole cost and expense, a firm of independent
public accountants, which is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect
that
such firm has examined certain documents and records and performed certain
other
procedures relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans during the
immediately preceding fiscal year of Countrywide and that such firm is of
the
opinion that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
such servicing has been conducted in compliance therewith, except for such
exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
Section
5.06 Annual
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act Certification.
(a) For
so
long as a Person is required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002
(the “Act”) to provide an annual certification, by March 15th of each year,
beginning in the year following the related Closing Date, an officer of
Countrywide shall execute and deliver an officer’s certificate to such Person
(hereafter, the “Beneficiary”) for the benefit of the Beneficiary and its
officers, directors and affiliates, pursuant to which such officer shall
certify
to those matters substantially as set forth in Exhibit E.
(b) Countrywide
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Beneficiary and its officers, directors,
agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other
costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by Countrywide or any
of its
officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section
5.06 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Countrywide in
connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless the Beneficiary, then Countrywide agrees
that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Beneficiary as a
result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Beneficiary in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Beneficiary
on
the one hand and Countrywide on the other in connection with a breach of
Countrywide’s obligations under this Section 5.06 or Countrywide’s negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
(c) For
the
purposes of this Section 5.06 only, the Beneficiary shall be considered a
third
party beneficiary and shall be entitled to the rights accruing thereunder
and
shall be entitled to enforce such obligation against Countrywide.
Section
5.07 The
Purchaser’s Access to Countrywide’s Records.
The
Purchaser shall have access upon reasonable notice to Countrywide, during
regular business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under
applicable circumstances, to any and all of the books and records of Countrywide
that relate to the performance or observance by Countrywide of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement. Further, Countrywide hereby
authorizes the Purchaser, in connection with a sale of the Mortgage Loans,
to
make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations
of Countrywide, or its parent company, prepared by or at the request of
Countrywide for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years for which
such a statement is available as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition
at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated
Statement of Operations. Countrywide also agrees to make available to any
prospective purchaser, upon reasonable notice and during normal business
hours,
a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering
questions respecting Countrywide’s ability to perform under this Agreement. The
Purchaser agrees to reimburse Countrywide for any out-of-pocket costs incurred
by Countrywide in connection with its obligations under this Section
5.07.
ARTICLE
VI.
COVENANTS
BY COUNTRYWIDE
Section
6.01 Indemnification
by Countrywide.
Countrywide
shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
attorneys’ fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure
of
Countrywide to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, but
not
limited to, its obligations to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in
strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Purchaser shall indemnify Countrywide and hold it harmless
against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other
costs, fees and expenses that Countrywide may sustain in any way related
to (a)
actions or inactions of Countrywide which were taken or omitted upon the
instruction or direction of the Purchaser, or (b) the failure of the Purchaser
to perform its obligations in strict compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, including subsections (i) and (ii) in Section 6.04.
Section
6.02 Third
Party Claims.
Countrywide
and the Purchaser shall immediately notify the other if a claim is made upon
such party by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans. Upon the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall
not
be unreasonably withheld, Countrywide shall assume the defense of any such
claim
and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Purchaser shall
promptly reimburse Countrywide for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to
the
preceding sentence except when as a result of such claim Countrywide is
otherwise required to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof.
Section
6.03 Merger
or
Consolidation of Countrywide.
Countrywide
shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation
under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states
thereof, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as
a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or
any of the Mortgage Loans, and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Person into which Countrywide
may
be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which Countrywide shall be a party, or any
Person
succeeding to the business of Countrywide, shall be the successor of Countrywide
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on
the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the successor
or
surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC
or a
company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans,
unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on
behalf of an Agency and shall satisfy any requirements of Section 8.13 with
respect to the qualifications of a successor to Countrywide.
Section
6.04 Limitation
on Liability of Countrywide and Others.
Neither
Countrywide nor any of the officers, employees or agents of Countrywide shall
be
under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken, or for refraining
from taking any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
Countrywide or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or the failure to perform its obligations in
strict
compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the
terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Countrywide and any officer, employee or
agent
of Countrywide may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
unless one or more Event of Default by Countrywide shall occur and shall
not
have been remedied within the time limits set forth in Section 7.01(a) of
this
Agreement, the Purchaser shall not record or cause to be recorded an Assignment
of Mortgage with the recording office. To the extent the Purchaser records
with
the recording office as permitted herein an Assignment of Mortgage which
designates the Purchaser as the holder of record of the Mortgage, the Purchaser
agrees that it shall (i) provide Countrywide with immediate notice, pursuant
to
Section 8.01, of any action with respect to the Mortgage or the related
Mortgaged Property; and (ii) immediately complete, sign and return to
Countrywide any document reasonably requested by Countywide to comply with
its
servicing obligations, including without limitation, any instrument required
to
release the Mortgage upon payment in full of the obligation or take any other
action reasonably required by Countrywide. The Purchaser further agrees that
Countrywide shall have no liability for the Purchaser’s failure to comply with
the subsections (i) or (ii) in the foregoing sentence. Countrywide shall
have no
liability to the Purchaser and shall not be under any obligation to appear
in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties
to
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in
its
opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
Countrywide may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action
which it may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Purchaser’s interests in
the Mortgage Loans. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action
and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
for which the Purchaser will be liable, and Countrywide shall be entitled
to be
reimbursed herefore from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such
expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to Countrywide’s indemnification
under Section 6.01.
Section
6.05 No
Transfer of Servicing.
Countrywide
acknowledges that the Purchaser acts in reliance upon Countrywide’s independent
status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records
and
procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance
thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, Countrywide
shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing rights hereunder, without
the
prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld. No such assignment shall become effective until a successor shall
have
assumed Countrywide’s servicing responsibilities and obligations hereunder in
the manner provided in Section 8.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other
provision in this Agreement, nothing shall limit the right of Countrywide
to
assign the servicing rights hereunder to Servicing LP.
ARTICLE
VII.
TERMINATION
OF COUNTRYWIDE AS SERVICER
Section
7.01 Termination
Due to an Event of Default.
(a) Each
of
the following shall be an Event of Default by Countrywide if it shall occur
and,
if applicable, be continuing for the period of time set forth
therein:
(i) any
failure by Countrywide to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to
be made
under the terms of this Agreement which such failure continues unremedied
for a
period of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of
such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Countrywide
by the Purchaser; or
(ii) any
failure on the part of Countrywide to duly observe or perform in any material
respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of Countrywide set
forth
in this Agreement or in the Bailee Letter, if any, which continues unremedied
for a period of thirty (30) days (except that such number of days shall be
fifteen (15) in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance
policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on
which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have
been given to Countrywide by the Purchaser; or
(iii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall
have been entered against Countrywide and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;
or
(iv) Countrywide
shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to Countrywide or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property;
(v) Countrywide

or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
(vi) failure
by Countrywide to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations
under Sections 5.04, 5.05 or 5.06 which failure continues unremedied for
a
period of ten (10) days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Countrywide by
the
Purchaser or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans;
(vi) Countrywide
ceases to meet the qualifications of an Agency to be an approved
seller/servicer;
(vii) Countrywide
fails to be in compliance with the “doing business” or licensing laws of any
jurisdiction which noncompliance materially and adversely affects Countrywide’s
ability to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement; or
(viii) Notwithstanding
any assignment or transfer of servicing to Servicing LP, Countrywide assigns
its
right to servicing compensation hereunder, or Countrywide, without the consent
of the Purchaser, sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all
of its
property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities
hereunder, or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, other
than to Servicing LP, and such sale, disposition, or assignment of this
Agreement materially and adversely affects Countrywide’s ability to service the
Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
In
case
one or more Events of Default by Countrywide shall occur and shall not have
been
remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to Countrywide may, in addition
to
whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of Countrywide under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans
and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by Countrywide of such
written
notice, all authority and power of Countrywide under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested
in
the Purchaser or such other successor appointed pursuant to Section 8.13.
Upon
written request from the Purchaser, Countrywide shall prepare, execute and
deliver, any and all documents and other instruments and 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, at
Countrywide’s sole expense. Countrywide agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser
in effecting the termination of Countrywide’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including the transfer to the Purchaser or such other successor
appointed pursuant to Section 8.13, for administration by it, of all cash
amounts which shall at the time be credited by Countrywide to the Custodial
Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) Waiver
of
Event of Default. The Purchaser may waive any default by Countrywide in the
performance of Countrywide’s obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and
any
Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied
for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section
7.02 Termination
by Other Means.
The
respective obligations and responsibilities of Countrywide as servicer shall
terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package upon the first to occur
of:
(a) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO
Property in such Mortgage Loan Package and the remittance of all funds due
hereunder; or (b) by mutual consent of Countrywide and the Purchaser in writing.
Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any termination
pursuant to (b) above, Countrywide shall prepare, execute and deliver any
and
all documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession all
Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and
related documents, or otherwise. The costs and expenses incurred with respect
to
the preceding sentence shall be allocated as mutually agreed between Countrywide
and the Purchaser. Countrywide agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and
such
successor in effecting the termination of Countrywide’s responsibilities and
rights hereunder as servicer, including, without limitation, the transfer
to
such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at
the
time be credited by Countrywide to the related Custodial Account or Escrow
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Section
7.03 Countrywide
Not to Resign.
Countrywide
shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except
by
mutual consent of Countrywide and the Purchaser or upon the determination
that
its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law
and such incapacity cannot be cured by Countrywide, in which event Countrywide
may resign as servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of
Countrywide as servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form
and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and which shall be provided
at
the cost of Countrywide. No such resignation shall become effective until
a
successor shall have assumed Countrywide’s responsibilities and obligations
hereunder in the manner provided in Section 8.13.
ARTICLE
VII.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section
8.13 Successor
to Countrywide.
Prior
to
termination of Countrywide’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.02(b), the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and
assume all of Countrywide’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to
all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of
Countrywide as servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for
the
reasonable compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans
as
it and such successor shall agree. In the event that Countrywide’s duties,
responsibilities and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should
be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, Countrywide shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this
Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of the Purchaser or such successor. The
termination of Countrywide as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Section
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant
to this
Section 8.13 and shall in no event relieve Countrywide of the representations
and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies
available to the Purchaser under Section 3.03, 3.04 or 6.01, it being understood
and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and
6.01
shall be applicable to Countrywide notwithstanding any such resignation or
termination of Countrywide, or the termination of this Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
Countrywide and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Countrywide, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement provided, however,
that such successor shall not assume, and Countrywide shall indemnify such
successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of Countrywide’s acts as
servicer. Any termination of Countrywide as servicer pursuant to Section
7.01 or
7.02(b) shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against
Countrywide arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies
with respect to such claims.
Countrywide
shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the related Custodial
Account, REO Account and the related Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files
and
related documents and statements held by it hereunder and Countrywide shall
account for all funds. Countrywide shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully
and
definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Countrywide as servicer.
The
successor shall reimburse Countrywide for amounts Countrywide actually expended
as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to
retain
hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by Countrywide pursuant
to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor
servicer.
