The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee
without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title
and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Original Mortgage Loans identified on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement (other than the Depositor's rights under Section 17 thereof),
and all other assets included or to be included in REMIC 1. Such assignment
includes all interest and principal received by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer on or with respect to the Original Mortgage Loans (other than payments
of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
If the assignment and transfer of the Original Mortgage Loans and the
other property specified in Section 2.01 from the Depositor to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or
deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to
have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee as of the Closing Date a
perfected, first priority security interest in the entire right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Original Mortgage Loans and all other
property conveyed to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all
proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee the following documents or
instruments with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan so transferred and
assigned (each, a "Mortgage File"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form: "Pay to the order of Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A.,
as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more
than 1.00% of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the
Cut-off Date) a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost
Note Affidavit executed by the Seller;
(b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and
a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of
attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with
evidence of recording thereon;
(c) an original Assignment in blank;
61
(d) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a
complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the
Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank;
(e) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(f) the original lender's title insurance policy, together with
all endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such
policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged
Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in
the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or
uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or
escrow company.
The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly (and in
no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a
mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee), following the
later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer of the
recording information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Depositor, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to
in Sections 2.01(c) and (d) above and shall execute each original Assignment
referred to in clause (c) above in the following form: "Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse."
In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of
a defect therein, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be
cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment
to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be completed and submitted for recording
with respect to any Mortgage Loan if either (x) the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer
and each Rating Agency has received an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating
Agency, to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments in any specific
jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trust's interest in the related
Mortgage Note or (y) each Rating Agency shall have determined that no such
opinion is required in order for such Rating Agency to assign the initial
ratings to the Class A Certificates, the Class S Certificates, the Mezzanine
Certificates and the NIM Notes; provided further, however, notwithstanding the
delivery of any opinion of counsel, each Assignment shall be submitted for
recording by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the
earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates

as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (iv) if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost
of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and shall
be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(b), (c) or (d)
above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has
not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been
lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be
satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee of a copy of each such document
certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable public
recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the
original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by
the Seller, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof, and in any
event no later than one year after the Closing Date, of either the original or a
copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be
a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender's title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(f) above, the
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee promptly after
receipt thereof, and in any event within 120 days after the Closing Date, the
original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller,
the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that
any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to
be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the
Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that
is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage
File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.
Section 2.02 Acceptance of REMIC 1 by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions
noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC 1" under clauses (i), (iii)
and (iv) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and
declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File, all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of "REMIC 1" and in trust for the exclusive
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date and to certify to the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that, as to each Original
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Original
Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Original Mortgage Loan specifically identified
in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(e))
63
required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by the Trustee and are not mutilated,
torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such
Original Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee's examination and only as
to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (i), (ii), (vi), (ix), (xii) (xiv) (to the extent of the
Periodic Rate Cap for the first Adjustment Date and subsequent Adjustment Dates)
and (xvi) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in
conducting such review, the Trustee was under no duty or obligation (i) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate
for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(f), whether
such title insurance policy (a) contains all necessary endorsements, (b) insures
the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien or (c) whether the interest vested
in the Mortgagor is a fee interest) or whether they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to
determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents
specified in clause (e) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the NIM
Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be
missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review
the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and
adversely affects the value of such Original Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such Original Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Section 2.03 Cure, Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller;
Remedies for Breaches by Depositor or Master Servicer; Remedies for Breaches
Relating to Prepayment Charges.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or
of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders (in the case of any such representation or
warranty made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, as to
which the Seller has no knowledge, without regard to the Seller's lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty being
inaccurate at the time it was made), the Trustee shall
64
promptly notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and
the Master Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that
the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90
days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or
breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Master
Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC 1 at the Purchase Price within 90 days
after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of
such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is
obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File,
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and
as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller 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 Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC 1 (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller 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 Certificateholders
or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or
receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or
warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.05 with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall cure such breach
in all material respects.
(c) As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after
the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.
Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or
(viii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects. If the representation made by the
Master
65
Servicer in its capacity as Seller in Section 2.04(a)(vii) is breached, the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall pay into the Collection Account
the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount previously
collected and deposited by, or paid by, the Master Servicer into the Collection
Account; and if the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section
2.04(a)(viii) is breached, the Master Servicer shall pay into the Collection
Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge.
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be effected prior
to the date which is two years after the Startup Date for REMIC 1.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected
by the Seller delivering to 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 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor
and the NIMS Insurer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in
the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto 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 1 and will be retained by the Seller. 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 Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and
the Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended 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
NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amount
66
(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 Stated Principal Balance thereof as
of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Stated
Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding
Advances and Servicing Advances. On the date of such substitution, the Seller
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or
Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as
the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein
any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall obtain
at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any of REMIC 1, created hereunder,
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
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof
to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer in its
capacity as Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt
of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase
or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section
2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller 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.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective
Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own
portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice
of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but
without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with
the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(ii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with
policies and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own
name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required
to be provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also
74
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject
to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Master
Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents
as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to
carry out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged
Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of attorney in
favor of the Master Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent
necessary or desirable to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the
preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from collections on the related
Mortgage Loans from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by
Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a
Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Master Servicer shall not (i)
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect
an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder)
and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or
the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after
the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master
Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will accurately and fully
report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely
manner.
75
Section 3.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
provided (i) that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates or
the NIM Notes, as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating
Agency to the Depositor, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) that,
except in the case of any Sub-Servicing Agreements the Master Servicer may enter
into with Washington Mutual, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, the NIMS Insurer or
the Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04 shall have consented to such
Sub-Servicing Agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master
Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the
state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which
are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. The Master Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or
credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed
to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Trustee copies
of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof,
promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and,
subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, of the Seller under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make
76
advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing
Agreement, or to purchase or otherwise remedy as contemplated herein a Mortgage
Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach
of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the 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, and shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be
effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and
otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph.
(c) For so long as the Master Servicer is Long Beach Mortgage
Company, the Master Servicer shall maintain in place a Sub-Servicing Agreement
meeting the requirements set forth herein (including, without limitation, the
requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a) above) with a Sub-Servicer that meets
the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.02(b) above with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Section 3.03 Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer, with the written consent of the NIMS Insurer or
Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04 and subject to Section 3.02(c), shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations
of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. After no NIM Notes are
outstanding and the NIMS Insurer is not owed any amounts in respect of its
guarantee of payment on such notes, the Guarantor (as well as the Master
Servicer) shall have the right to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Sub-Servicing Agreement without fee. In the event of
termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer,
subject to Section 3.02(c), shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master
Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall, subject to Section 3.02(c),
service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall so terminate
such Sub-Servicing Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the
Guarantor, in the event that the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, if then acting
as Master Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer
(including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
77
Section 3.04 Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification and no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the Trustee
or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master
Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees and such fees shall not be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement
that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided
in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be
deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer
and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer
shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master
Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.
78
The Master Servicer at its own expense and without reimbursement shall,
upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf
of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause (ii)
shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of
any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.04(d)
pursuant to which the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such
advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, that in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be
expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such
Mortgage Loans in excess of Net Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered
upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Mortgage Loan; and,
provided further, that the NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be
required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of
outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds
5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
Section 3.08 Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be
entitled "Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee,
79
in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2001-2,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2001-2. The Sub-Servicer shall be required to
deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof,
all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing
account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter be required to deposit such proceeds
in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the
deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts").
Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit
in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, all
collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") collected on account of
the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the
Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of
such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii)
reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances
made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and
Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any
sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear
and terminate the Servicing Account upon the termination of the Master
Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts
deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall
determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at
a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the payment of all such bills within such time and shall
80
effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments; provided,
however, that such advances shall constitute Servicing Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall
thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when
received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it
on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and
amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in
accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16 or Section 9.01 and all
Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.03;
(vii) all Substitution Shortfall Amounts; and
81
(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date
with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the
date of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges
(other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer
as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, (i) that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without
regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges on
the Prepayment Charge Schedule collected by the Master Servicer in connection
with any of the Mortgage Loans and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds
reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.27 and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Master Servicer shall,
on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Depositor of the location of the
Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer,
the Guarantor and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
82
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which
may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the
Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to
withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that
the Trustee withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw, such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to the Master Servicer any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the
Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04, unless
delivered directly to the Trustee by an Advancing Person;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in connection
with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24
in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, federal bankruptcy court or other
source, the Trustee shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account,
subject to withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise
permitted hereunder.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Collection Account, for any of the following purposes or as described
in Section 4.04, without priority:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master Servicer
for Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which
represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
Monthly Payments on the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.04;
83
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Master Servicer
from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) to pay to the Master Servicer as servicing compensation (in

amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Advance or Servicing

expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to
the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were
included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any
expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Master Servicer for advances in
respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on an
individual Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant
to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Master Servicer
shall provide written notification to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the
Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date,
upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause
(vii) above.
(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from
the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
84
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with
Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 8.05 or to pay any other Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this
Section 3.12, an "Investment Account"), and the Trustee, in its individual
capacity, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution
Account, (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the Distribution Account is also an
"Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment 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 Trustee 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 Trustee is
the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall
be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of
a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession
(except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection
Account and any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each
such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together
with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Trustee shall:
85
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on
such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
actual notice by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the
Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of
the Master Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any
REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in
respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts
immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee shall
be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any
time. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, the amount of any
loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with
funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if
any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than
50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates shall, take such
action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including
the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.13 [Reserved].
Section 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the then
current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of
such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire
86
insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued
interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master
Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any
amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject
to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans
held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a
Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake
or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property
or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and
flood insurance has been made available, the Master Servicer will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure in the performance of
87
the Master Servicer's obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies
shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxxx Mac
if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has
obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer
shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of
such requirements from Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer (upon such party's reasonable
request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also
cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering
errors and omissions and a fidelity bond meeting such requirements.
Section 3.15 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its
sole business judgment the Master Servicer believes that the collections and
other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected
to be maximized if the Mortgage Loan were not accelerated, and the Master
Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to
enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth
in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master
Servicer may also enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer and has a
credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In
connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Master
Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and
procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The
Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification
agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable under the circumstances)
it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness
of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the
requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee
88
collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term
of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and
the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as
otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer shall
notify the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Trustee that any such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer), the executed
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing,
for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term
"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject
to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement.
Section 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent
with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, 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
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs
and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that
such costs and expenses will constitute and be recoverable as Servicing Advances
by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage
Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16
or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as
to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be
considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
"owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
89
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits
using customary industry standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required
under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if
any such materials are present for which such action could be
required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the
Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected
Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or
if the Master Servicer has knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property
contains such wastes or substances or is within one mile of the site of such
wastes or substances, the Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed
in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer or
the Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.16 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood
by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer,
subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any
amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage
Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any
such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.
90
(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC 1
any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent or
that has been otherwise in default for 90 days or more, which the Master
Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or
related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most
delinquent Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties first; and provided,
further, that such option shall expire as of the last day of the calendar
quarter during which such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property became 90 days
delinquent or otherwise in default for 90 days or more. In the event the Master
Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase from REMIC 1 any such Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property prior to the expiration of such option, the NIMS
Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
at any time thereafter. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of
such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer or
the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall
execute and the Trustee shall deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer or the NIMS
Insurer, as applicable, shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the
Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, title to any Mortgage Loan
or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds received (other than any Prepayment Charges received)
in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery
resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following
order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due
Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-2 (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited)
91
of a Servicing Representative and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage
File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee shall promptly
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E-l, release the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer,
execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate
the Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from
the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer
no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to
an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing
Representative certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Representative stating
that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or its designee.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Representative, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity, or shall exercise and deliver to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney sufficient to authorize the Master Servicer to execute such documents
on its behalf, provided that the Trustee shall be obligated to execute the
documents identified above if necessary to enable the Master Servicer to perform
its duties hereunder. 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.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from
92
payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the
extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection
Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the
Master Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances and servicing compensation
of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein and in Section 8.05, the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the
Depositor a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status
of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date
and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of
deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified
in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx
Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to
the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans
as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee.
93
Section 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency on or before April 15 of each
calendar year commencing in 2002, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made
under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers'
knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such 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. Copies of any such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such
statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
Section 3.21 Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than April 15 of each calendar year commencing in 2002, the
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a
report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which includes an
assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential
mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the
most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated
in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications
that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by
Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public
accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with
the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to
those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master
Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee,
the Guarantor and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants
requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.

Section 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.
(a) The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, and
the Guarantor access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced
by the Master Servicer under this Agreement, as may be required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer under this
Agreement will be provided to any Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the
expense of the Person requesting such access.
(b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Guarantor will be
permitted, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, at the
office of the Master Servicer, to review copies of the contents of the Mortgage
Files and the underwriting documentation that is required to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant hereto with respect to up to the greater of (i) 800 of the
Mortgage Files and (ii) 10% (by number) of the Mortgage Loans (a "Mortgage Loan
Sample"), in order to ascertain whether each such Mortgage Loan was originated
generally in accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines in any
material respect. In addition, the Guarantor will be permitted, upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, at the office of the Master Servicer,
to review copies of the contents of the Mortgage Files and the underwriting
documentation that is required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant hereto
with respect to an additional 75 of the Mortgage Files which are not part of the
foregoing Mortgage Loan Sample. If, as a result of such investigation, the
Guarantor determines (after the appeals process set forth in the Xxxxxxx Mac
Single Family Seller/Servicer Guide) that more than 20% (by number) of the
Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Loan Sample were not so underwritten, the Master
Servicer will permit the Guarantor to review an additional Mortgage Loan Sample
in accordance with the same procedures until the Guarantor has reviewed a
Mortgage Loan Sample that contains fewer than 20% (by number) of Mortgage Loans
that were not originated generally in accordance with the Seller's underwriting
guidelines in any material respect. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Master Servicer related to such review shall be reimbursed by the Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have the
right to collect data on an additional 1,200 Mortgage Loans over and above the
Mortgage Loans reviewed in the procedures described in the immediately preceding
paragraph.
The procedures to be followed in connection with any Mortgage
Loan which was not underwritten in accordance with the Seller's underwriting
guidelines are set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
provided, however, that no such procedure shall be followed if such action may
(A) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust,
as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (B) contributions to any
95
Trust REMIC after the "startup day," as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code,
or (C) cause the portion of the Trust Fund assets with respect to which a REMIC
election was made to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificate is
outstanding.
(c) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, the Guarantor
may contact the Seller to confirm that the Seller continues to actively engage
in a program to originate mortgage loans to low-income families and to obtain
other non-proprietary information about the Seller's activities that may assist
the Guarantor in completing its own regulatory requirements during normal
business hours and subject to reimbursement for expenses. The Seller shall use
reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Guarantor.
(d) From time to time, during normal business hours and subject to
reimbursement for expenses, the Guarantor shall have the right to audit the
Master Servicer's servicing practices and to review the Mortgage Files.
Section 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1 (and on behalf
of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall sell any REO
Property as soon as practicable and, in any event, shall either sell any REO
Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year REMIC 1
acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days
before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an
extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have
delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Depositor an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Guarantor
and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO
Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
If an extension of the three-year period is granted, the Master Servicer shall
sell the related REO Property no later than 60 days prior to the expiration of
such extension period. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of
any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO
Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
96
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer may allow the Collection Account to serve
as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The
Master Servicer may retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds
deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to
do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property
owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for
such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of
Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit,
or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in
no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien
thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect
to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)
through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall
advance from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for
such purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if
the Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if such Servicing Advance would
not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any
New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New
Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does
not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any
New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents
from Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than
construction permitted under Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
97
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property
on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition
by the Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance), provided to the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC 1, in which
case the Master Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property, including those listed
above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs
and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than thirty days
following the receipt thereof by such Independent
Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to
any such contract or to actions taken through any such
Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the
Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto
to the same extent as if it alone were performing all
duties and obligations in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such
Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Master
Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Master Servicer.
98
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received
during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section
3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a),
each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price
and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities
for similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
(h) The Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be deemed to
have purchased the ownership interest held by the Holders of the Class A
Certificates, Mezzanine Certificates and Class S Certificates in any Mortgage
Loan as to which the Master Servicer has made a Final Recovery Determination.
After such repurchase, the Master Servicer, if requested by such
Certificateholders and if offered indemnification reasonably acceptable to the
Master Servicer and reimbursement for expenses, may seek a deficiency judgment
to the extent permitted by law against the Mortgagor under such Mortgage Loan on
behalf of such Certificateholders to the extent of any Realized Loss.
Notwithstanding the above, the Holders of the Class C Certificate do not have
any obligation to make any such request.
Section 3.24 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the
Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating Interest") equal to
the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the
99
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting
solely from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii)
the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar
month.
Section 3.25 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and
Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by
the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt
of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Guarantor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the
ability of the Master Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the
related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by
law and shall not be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.26 Reserve Fund.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain with itself a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Reserve Fund, Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A., in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan
Trust 2001-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 0000-0." Xx the Closing Date,
the Depositor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund
$1,000.
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount payable to the Class A-1V Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates or
Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class C
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Reserve Fund the
amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(ix), rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-1V
Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates, and will
distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A-1V Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth
in Section 4.01(d). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Reserve Fund on behalf of
the Class C Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Class C 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.
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class C
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all
amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein
of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to
100
the Holders of the Class C Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or
the payment in full of the Class A-1V Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and
Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund
will be released by the Trustee and distributed to the Class C
Certificateholders or their designees. The Reserve Fund will be part of the
Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class
A-1V Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates or 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).
By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder
shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee, and the Trustee shall pursuant to
such direction, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on
each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees
that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in
the Class C Certificates, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If
no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in
the Class C Certificates with respect to the Reserve Fund is received by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Investments managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of the kind described in
clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any funds in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in Bankers Trust's
Institutional Cash Management Fund 1679 for so long as such investment complies
with clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain
earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund.
For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Holders of the Class A-1V Certificates, the Holders of the Class A-2
Certificates and the Holders of the Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments
from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be
assigned a value of zero.
Section 3.27 Advance Facility.
(a) The Trustee and the Trust Fund, at the direction of the Master
Servicer and with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, after consultation with the
Guarantor (or, if no NIM Notes are outstanding and the NIMS Insurer is not
owed any amounts in respect of its guarantee of payment on such notes, the
Guarantor), is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which
provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may make all or a portion of
the
101
Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement,
although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer's
obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. To the extent that
an Advancing Person makes all or a portion of any Advance or any Servicing
Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer
that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person
shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such
amount to the extent provided in Section 3.27(b). Such notice from the Advancing
Person shall specify the amount of the reimbursement and shall specify which
Section of this Agreement permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to
be reimbursed. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person's statement with respect to the amount of
any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.27 and with respect to the
Advancing Person's statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that
permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. An
Advancing Person whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master
Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and will not be
deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility
proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not
materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the
NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent, after consultation with the
Guarantor, to the Trust Fund's entering into such facility.
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Master
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself under any Section specified
or for any amount specified by the Advancing Person in the notice described
under Section 3.27(a) above and acknowledged by the Master Servicer prior to the
remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such
amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section
3.10(a). The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person
reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account
to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse
itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with the
specified Sections had the Master Servicer itself made such Advance or Servicing
Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing
Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing
facility may agree.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in-first out" (FIFO) basis.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.01(b), by acceptance of
the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, for
so long as the NIM Notes are outstanding or any amounts are reimbursable or
payable to the NIMS Insurer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, in

the Class C Certificates.
(e) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates
on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding

Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each 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 4.01(e) or Section 9.01 respecting
the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage
Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five 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 or Notional Amount that is in excess of the lesser of (i)
$5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the Original Class Certificate Principal
Balance or Original Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise

pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner,
but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to
the accounts of its Depository Participants
108
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. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry
Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in
accordance with the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Seller shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in
respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such
distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of
any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or 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.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than
three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail to the NIMS Insurer,
the Guarantor and each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee 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 Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
the end of the related 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 Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee shall pay to Banc of America Securities LLC 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
109
by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section
4.01(h).
(h) 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 4.06 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate in reduction
of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01 from
Net Monthly Excess Cashflow, (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of a REMIC 2 Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of
any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC 2 Regular Interest in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b) distributed on such
REMIC 2 Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance
thereof pursuant to Section 4.05 and (iii) in no event shall the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of a REMIC 1 Regular Interest be reduced more than once in
respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC 1 Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.05.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the NIMS Insurer of any proceeding or
the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a "Preference

Class P Certificates. Each Holder of the Class C Certificates or the Class P

Holder of the Class C Certificates and Class P Certificates in the conduct of
any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any
party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued

NIM Notes or the holder of any NIM Notes has been required to relinquish a
distribution made on the Class C Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the
NIM Notes, as applicable, and the NIMS Insurer made a payment in respect of such
relinquished amount.

Not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date (or, in the case of certain
information, as agreed between the Trustee and the Master Servicer, not later
than four Business Days after the end of each Due Period), the Master Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the
information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably

recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any Balloon Loan with a delinquent
Balloon Payment as described in clause (iii) below), which Monthly Payments were
delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, plus
(ii) with respect to each REO Property (other than with respect to any REO
Property relating to a Balloon Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment as

Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal

the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property
transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or
(ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future
distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in
the records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Master Servicer in
discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i)
and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held
for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the
Master Servicer's records, which information the Master Servicer will provide to
the Guarantor upon the Guarantor's request, and replaced by the Master Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would
be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not
been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor and the Master Servicer by telecopy by the close of
business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the
Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have the right to
require, at any time, the Master Servicer to remit, from its own funds, prior to
the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date after notice to the Master
Servicer, to the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
all Advances previously made out of funds from the Collection Account, and not
theretofore repaid from collections on the related Group I Mortgage Loans, and
related Advances then due, if, in its reasonable judgment, the Guarantor
determines such action is necessary to protect its interest. In such event, the
Master Servicer shall thereafter remit to the Trustee out of the Master
Servicer's own funds all Advances required to be made. In no event shall the
foregoing be construed as limiting the Master Servicer's right to (i) pass
through Late Collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making
Advances or (ii) reimburse itself for such Advances from Late Collections on the
related Mortgage Loans.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds
thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer
if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The determination by
115
the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any
proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the
Master Servicer delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Depositor and
the Trustee.

(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer
shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee by the Master Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately
following the end of (i) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest,
the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the

Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by
any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates,
on such Distribution Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class
C Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(x). No allocations of any Realized Losses

Section 4.07 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
Section 4.08 Commission Reporting.
Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in
accordance with industry standards and applicable regulations, file with the
Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, a

Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to March 30,
2002, the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry
standards and applicable regulations, with respect to the Trust Fund. The
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute
and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney
shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the
Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and
financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file
all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section.
Section 4.09 The Guarantee.
On each Distribution Date following receipt of a statement (as set
forth in Section 4.03) that indicates a Deficiency Amount for such Distribution
Date, the Guarantor shall distribute a Guarantor Payment in an aggregate amount
equal to the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date directly to the
Holders of the Guaranteed Certificates, without first depositing such amount in
the Distribution Account, as follows: (i) the portion of any such Deficiency
Amount related to clause (i) of the definition of Deficiency Amount shall be
distributed to the applicable Class A-1 Certificateholders and Class S-1
Certificateholders in respect of the Interest Distributable Amount payable on
such Certificates on such Distribution Date; and (ii) the portion of any such
Deficiency Amount related to clause (ii) of the definition of Deficiency Amount
shall be distributed as principal in the order provided in Section
4.01(b)(i)(A)(x)(2).
Section 4.10 The Trustee Remittance Report.
(a) No later than four Business Days prior to each Distribution Date by
noon New York time, the Trustee shall furnish a report (the "Trustee Remittance
Report") in the form
122
attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement (together with a statement containing
the information that is required to be included in the statement to be prepared
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03) to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer
by electronic medium as agreed to by the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer.
(b) Subject to Section 4.10(d), if in any month the Trustee fails to
deliver the Trustee Remittance Report as provided in Section 4.10(a), the
Guarantor shall use its best efforts to determine the amount of any required
Guarantor Payment. If on any Distribution Date the Guarantor makes any Guarantor
Payment as a result of such failure of the Trustee to deliver the Trustee
Remittance Report, the Trustee shall pay the Guarantor from its own funds (not
from the proceeds of the Trust Fund), not later than the fourth Business Day
following such Distribution Date, a $100 fee plus an amount equal to the product
of (i) the principal portion of such Guarantor Payment, (ii) a percentage equal
to (A) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates of the Class A-1
Certificates plus 2.00% divided by (B) 365 and (iii) the number of days between
the date by which the Trustee had been required to deliver the Trustee
Remittance Report pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and the date on which the
Guarantor received the Trustee Remittance Report.
(c) Subject to Section 4.10(d), if in any month the Trustee fails to
provide the Guarantor the Trustee Remittance Report on or prior to the date
specified in Section 4.10(a), the Trustee shall pay to the Guarantor the
following amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second
such failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be required to make any such payment upon
the first such failure during each successive two year period following the
Closing Date. The fourth consecutive such failure to provide a Trustee
Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.10(a) shall constitute
an event of default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Trustee for cause.
(d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability (including
removal as Trustee) under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.10 if the
Trustee's failure to deliver timely the Trustee Remittance Report is due to the
failure of the Master Servicer to furnish the Trustee with a report in
accordance with Section 4.04(a). If the Trustee's failure to deliver timely the
Trustee Remittance Report is due to the failure of the Master Servicer to
furnish the Trustee with a report in accordance with Section 4.04(a), the Master
Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the amount set forth in Section 4.10(b)
above (i.e. the product of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
of Section 4.10(b) above) and the following additional amounts: (i) upon the
first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such failure, $750; and (iii)
upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not be required to make any such payment upon the first such failure
during each successive two year period following the Closing Date. The fourth
consecutive such failure to provide the Trustee with a report in accordance with
Section 4.04(a) and thereby causing the Trustee's failure to timely deliver a
Trustee Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.10(a) shall
constitute an event of default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Master
Servicer for cause.
123
Section 4.11 Loan Data Remittance Report.
(a) No later than four Business Days prior to each Distribution Date by
noon New York Time, the Master Servicer shall furnish a complete and accurate
report (the "Loan Data Remittance Report") in the form attached as Exhibit N to
this Agreement to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer by electronic medium as
agreed to by the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall (i) furnish to the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer a report with respect to the Mortgage Loans that have been voluntarily
repurchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 during the related
Prepayment Period indicating the Mortgage Loan number, the date of repurchase
and the Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan so repurchased.
(b) If in any month the Master Servicer fails to provide the Guarantor
the Loan Data Remittance Report on or prior to the date specified in Section
4.11(a) or if such report is deemed to be materially incomplete or inaccurate by
the Guarantor, the Master Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the following
amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such
failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such payment upon the
first such failure during each successive two year period following the Closing
Date. The fourth consecutive such failure to provide a Loan Data Remittance
Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11(a) shall constitute an event of
default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Master Servicer for cause.
124
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC 1. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates) will equal the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits A-1 through A-11. 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 by the Trustee
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
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 Trustee by manual signature, and
such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one
or more Certificates held by 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
the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to
another Depository that agrees to hold the Book-Entry for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to the Book-Entry
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 Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and
125
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 Master Servicer, and if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry
Custodian, the Trustee and 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 Trustee resigns or is
removed in accordance with the terms hereof, successor trustee or, if it so
elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as
Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to
obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the
Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor
may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes
of the exercise by Certificateholders of the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable
record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee 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 Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master 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 Trustee 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
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $50,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $50,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of
such instructions and may
126
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 Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or
agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided.
(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate shall be made unless
such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any
such transfer (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificates by the Depositor to the
Seller or the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class
R Certificates by the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the
depositor of which is an affiliate of the Seller) (i) unless such transfer is
made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered
to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under
the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of
Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor
or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor
certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the
transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Trust Fund 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.
(c) Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate 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") 96-92, 61 F.
R. 66334 (December 17, 1996), as amended by XXX 0000-00, 00 X. X. 00000
(November 13, 2000) (the "Exemption"), and that it understands that there are
127
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 U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth
in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R
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. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel
which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer 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
Master Servicer, the Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any Class C Certificate,
Class P Certificate or Class R Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller or
the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R
Certificates by the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the
depositor of which is an affiliate of the Seller (in which case, the Depositor,
the Seller and any such affiliate shall have deemed to have represented that the
applicable transferee is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the
Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which,
upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the
Depositor of the status of each transferee the Seller or such an affiliate. Each
transferee of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate
shall sign a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to demonstrate its
compliance with this Section 5.02(c) (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificates
by the Depositor to the Seller or the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class
P Certificate or Class R Certificates by the Seller to an affiliate of the
Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an affiliate of the Seller).
If any Mezzanine Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Class R Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation
of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding
paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee 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.
128
(d) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or
impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall as a
condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery
to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of
the following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the
proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that
is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect
that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to
the Class R Certificates.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and
void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the
provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R
Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon
discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class R
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the
date of registration of transfer of such Class R
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
or for making any distributions due on such Class R
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to
129
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long
as the Trustee received the documents specified in clause
(iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any
Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a
Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were
made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate.
Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be
distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior
Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the
Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation,
without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or
any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to
notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class
R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trustee to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event
that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Class R
Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this
Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such
remittance as security for such claim. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the
Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and
to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of
the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed
under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on transfers of
residual interests to disqualified organizations.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to
transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i)
written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the NIM Notes or the Certificates and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
130
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee designated from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12,
the Trustee shall execute and 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 Trustee maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled by the Trustee and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and
(in the case of a Class C Certificate or Class P Certificate) the NIMS Insurer
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them, and
the Trust Fund, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section,
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or
the NIMS Insurer may treat the
131
Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer nor any agent of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
132
ARTICLE VI
THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
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 and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or 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
a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its
qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each 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, 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 the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the NIM
Notes, the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced
or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies to the Trustee).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Others.
None of the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor 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 for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master
Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or
covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
133
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Guarantor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Guarantor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Guarantor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Guarantor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any
loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the Guarantor nor 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 and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Guarantor and the
Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts
without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or
other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend
themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
The Master Servicer (except the Trustee to the extent it has succeeded
the Master Servicer as required hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee,
the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Master Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee and the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer if a claim
is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses,
and the Master Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the
defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim.
134
The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, after consultation with the Guarantor, and
written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be
furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause
such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the NIM Notes, the Class
A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to
clause (i) of the 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. No resignation
of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, or the Guarantor as provided
in Section 1.04, 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.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on
assignment shall not prohibit the Master Servicer from designating a
Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Master
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof,
no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties
hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee
under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the
Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire
amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master
servicer but in no instance shall such Servicing Fees exceed the current
Servicing Fee.
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Guarantor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) 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) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor 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 that it possesses. To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the
135
Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding
two sentences without the Master Servicer's (or any such Sub-Servicer's) written
consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it
is necessary to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing
authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or
(ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case,
the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use, and the NIMS
Insurer shall be deemed to have agreed with the parties hereto to use, its best
efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of 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.
136

marshaling 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 if such proceeding is
being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith, such decree
or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for
a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief
or any such adjudication or appointment; or
137
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through
(vi) of this Section 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 NIMS Insurer
or the Guarantor, or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of
Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee
or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), 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. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause
(vii), (viii) or (ix) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the
Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement 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, 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, at its sole cost and expense,
138
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, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
any REO Property (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, whether in respect of Advances or
otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee 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, any of the Trust
REMICs or this Agreement.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer
(or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor master servicer, including without limitation, any 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 Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) 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 in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto 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(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; 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 Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; 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 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
139
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any
Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid
hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer to
act as successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the next
paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it
is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in
writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, an established Mortgage Loan servicing institution
acceptable to each Rating Agency, having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 and reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or Guarantor, as
provided in Section 1.04, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, with
the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a successor Master
Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor
Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Master
Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master Servicer. The
Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home
finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7.02 (including
the Trustee or any affiliate thereof). Such public announcement shall specify
that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing
compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and
the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing
Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee with the
cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price
they will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee, upon receipt of the
purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so
removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor
to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all
costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale,
140
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably
incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be
paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the
terms of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b), a "Remittance")
because the Master Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall upon written notice of such prohibition,
regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination under Section
7.01, shall be treated as though it had succeeded to the Master Servicer and
shall advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in the
Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be
obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith
judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable
from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such
advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to
the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may
recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount
from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to affect the Trustee's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own
funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time
makes an advance under this Subsection which it later determines in its good
faith judgment will not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with
respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the
Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the
portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register, to the Guarantor and to the NIMS Insurer.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of
any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates, to the
Guarantor and to the NIMS Insurer notice of each such occurrence, unless such
default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
141
Section 7.04 Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor as
provided in Section 1.04, waive such default or Master Servicer Event of
Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default
under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the
Holders of the Regular Certificates and the NIMS Insurer (as evidenced by the
written consent of the NIMS Insurer, after consultation with the Guarantor).
Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such
default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
142
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a 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 their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee 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 shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction,
the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default,
and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to
the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or 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
143
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely conclusively upon and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties and the manner of obtaining consents and
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall not 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 at the request, order or direction of any of the NIMS Insurer or
the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee 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;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not 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 NIMS Insurer or 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 of
144
the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or such
Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such expense, or liability from the NIMS Insurer or 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 custodians, nominees or attorneys and shall not be
responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence of such agents,
custodians, nominees or attorneys (as long as such agents, custodians,
nominees or attorneys are appointed with due and proper care);
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account
at the direction of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(viii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the
provisions of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or
otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers (not including expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including
the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not
assured to it.
(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.
Section 8.03 Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trustee, the execution and authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.13) shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee shall not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth in Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than
execution and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of the Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to
the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the
145
Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than any funds held by or on
behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10.
Section 8.04 Trustee May own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact banking and/or trust business with the Seller,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor or their Affiliates.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
(a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on
each Distribution Date and pay to itself one day's interest earnings (net of
losses) on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. In addition to such
interest earnings, the compensation to be paid to the Trustee in respect of its
obligations under this Agreement will be the amounts paid by the Seller pursuant
to a letter agreement between the Trustee and the Seller.
The Trustee, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee, shall be indemnified by REMIC 1 and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability
or expense (i) resulting from the Master Servicer's actions or omissions in
connection with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, (ii) that constitutes a
specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee
or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the
indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right
of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such,
may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of
the Trustee.
As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall receive from REMIC 1 amounts with respect to
indemnification for counsel fees and expenses (collectively, "Legal Fees") in
connection with any third-party litigation or other claims alleging violations
of laws or regulations relating to consumer lending and/or servicing of the
Trust Fund (collectively, "Third Party Claims") in an amount not greater than
$25,000 per month, and $600,000 in the aggregate (with amounts in excess of
$25,000 for any month carried-forward to subsequent months, until the $600,000
aggregate maximum is reached). The Trustee shall not have any obligation to
incur additional expenses for which reimbursement is limited
146
pursuant to this paragraph in excess of the aggregate limit set forth above
unless it has received reasonable security or indemnity for such additional
expenses. The Certificateholders shall hold the Trustee harmless for any
consequences to such Certificateholders resulting from any failure of the
Trustee to incur any such additional expenses in excess of the aforementioned
aggregate limit.
(b) Without limiting the Master Servicer's indemnification
obligations under Section 6.03, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment under
this Section 8.05(b) made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from
the Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund
therefor.
(c) The Trustee shall pay any annual rating agency fees of the
Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without right of
reimbursement.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or an
association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee acceptable to
the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04 and to the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
147
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, after consultation with
the Guarantor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS
Insurer may remove the Trustee and the Depositor may appoint a successor trustee
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer (after consultation with the Guarantor, or, if no
NIM Notes are outstanding and the NIMS Insurer is not owed any amounts in
respect of its guarantee of payment on such notes, acceptable to the Guarantor)
and to the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered
to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor as provided in
Section 1.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed, (except in the case
of appointment by the Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04) by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor.
The NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor as provided in Section 1.04, upon
the failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder, may remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor as provided in Section
1.04, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor,
one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The fourth consecutive failure to provide a Trustee Remittance Report
to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.10(a) shall constitute an event of
default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Trustee for cause.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, and to its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such
148
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee
shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents
and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder (other than any
Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall become the
agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the NIM Notes or any
Class of Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from
each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of REMIC 1 or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor, to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of REMIC 1, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to REMIC 1, or any part thereof and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment or
the NIMS Insurer shall not have approved
149
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof. If such appointment is
at the request of the Master Servicer then any expense of the Trustee shall be
deemed a Servicing Advance for all purpose of this Agreement, otherwise it will
be an expense of the Trustee and will be payable out of the Trustee's funds.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 1 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement.
The Trustee shall initially serve as the Custodian and this Agreement shall
serve as the Custodial Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any
time be terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the
reasonable request of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the consent of the
NIMS Insurer, after consultation with the
150
Guarantor, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee
shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance with each
Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to
comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and
provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company

and the Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or
the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the

remaining in REMIC 1; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The
purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC 1 shall be at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to the greater of
(A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC 1,
plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC 1, such
appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator
and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, any unpaid Guarantor
Reimbursement Amount and unpaid Guarantee Fee and (B) the aggregate fair market
value of all of the assets of REMIC 1 (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 9.01) plus
any unpaid Guarantor Reimbursement Amount and unpaid Guarantee Fee, and in the
case of both clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence, any additional amounts
necessary to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to pay in
full the principal balance of, the NIM Notes and any amounts necessary to
reimburse the NIMS Insurer for all amounts paid under the NIMs insurance policy
and any other amounts reimbursable or otherwise payable to the NIMS Insurer, in
each case, with interest thereon at the applicable rate set forth in the
Indenture and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid.
(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right and, if the Master
Servicer does not exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer shall have the right
(the party exercising such right, the "Terminator") to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in both Loan Groups remaining in REMIC 1
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 1 pursuant to clause (i) above
153
only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each
REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is equal
to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the
Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination
hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the
extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the
Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests
shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to 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 Terminator, not earlier than the
15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the 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 final payment in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of
any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the
REMIC 1 Regular Interests or the Certificates from and after the 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 Trustee designated in such notice for purposes of such surrender. In the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 by the Terminator, the
Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of
the final distribution on the Certificates an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the above-described purchase price. The Trustee shall remit to
the Master Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i)
any amounts which the Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts
otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit
in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each
case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.01(d) below.
Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Representative 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 the
Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. On the
final Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw from the Distribution Account
and remit to the Guarantor amounts otherwise payable to the Guarantor on such
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. 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
154
Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee
and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.
If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section
9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after
the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee shall, directly or through an
agent, mail a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Banc of America Securities LLC 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 Trustee as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in
respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
Section 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 pursuant to Section
9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements:

liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's
final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1 .860F-l

Trustee, and the Depositor obtained at the expense of the
Terminator;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the

Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to
be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash

that time.
(b) At the expense of the Terminator, the Trustee shall prepare or
cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption
of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.

agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each

REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under
the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will

Account, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund
(including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities) unless such expenses, professional
fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings are incurred by reason of the
Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The Trustee, as agent
for all each Trust REMIC's tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the
Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust
REMIC and (ii) represent, after consultation with the Guarantor and upon
accommodation of the Guarantor's reasonable requests, the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto and will be entitled to
reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection therewith unless such administrative or judicial proceeding relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority is incurred by
reason of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The holder
of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R 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

the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trustee or an
Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person
for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file in a timely manner all of
the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder, copies of which Tax
Returns it shall promptly furnish to the NIMS Insurer. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to
enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.
(e) The Trustee 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 Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not
a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue

serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall
provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the
assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as
is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to
perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall
provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the
Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to
be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment

provide such information or data to the NIMS Insurer.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust 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 (and the
Master Servicer shall assist the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by
the Trustee to do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such
status). The Trustee 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 (i) endanger
the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a
tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action but in no event at the expense of the
158
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to
any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax,
nor shall the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer may
conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. The
Trustee shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor a copy of any such
advice or opinion. 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
Master Servicer 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 a Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer 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; provided that the
Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no
liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The
Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of
same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by
this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At
all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that
substantially all of the assets of both REMIC 1 will consist of "qualified
mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted
investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions"
of any Trust 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 10.03 hereof,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15,
2002, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Trustee 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.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any
contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
159
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 any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and
local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other
than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC 1, (iii) the termination of REMIC 1
pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to
Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer
have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Guarantor and
the NIMS Insurer (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.
Section 10.03 Trustee, Master Servicer and Depositor Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and
the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any
reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes
imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,
any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the

covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X or any state, local or
franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Master
Servicer or any subservicer.
160
(c) The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,

covenants set forth in this Article X.

consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect,
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give
effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), or in any Custodial
Agreement, (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such
extent as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the
Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding or to
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that
the Trustee, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such action
is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not
adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or adversely affect in
any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or (iv) to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement, provided that such
action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder and, provided, further, that (A)
such action will not affect in any material respect the permitted activities of
the Trust and (B) such action will not increase in any material respect the
degree of discretion which the Master Servicer is allowed to exercise in
servicing the Mortgage Loans. 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 or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time
to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and,
if applicable, the Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, and with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Custodial 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 on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder
of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner, other than as described
in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii)
modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the
162
giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates
registered in the name of the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting
such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee,
the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of
any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in
no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
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.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to

Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall

Section 11.10 Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
C-1
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated July 18, 2001, between Long Beach Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser") and Long Beach Mortgage Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Seller").
Preliminary Statement
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool constituting the trust fund. The trust fund will be evidenced by
fixed rate and adjustable rate asset backed certificates designated as Long
Beach Mortgage Loan Trust Series 2001-2, Asset-Backed Certificates 2001-2 (the
"Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of eleven classes of
certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2001 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Purchaser, as depositor, Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A., as trustee, Xxxxxxx Mac, as guarantor with respect to the
Class A-1 Certificates and the Class S-1 Certificates, and the Seller, as master
servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"). Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to
purchase, on or before July 20, 2001 (the "Closing Date"), certain fixed-rate
and adjustable-rate conventional residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans"), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on
July 1, 2001 (the "Cut-off Date") of approximately $1,125,593,429, after giving
effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date,
whether or not received.
SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the
mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement on the Closing Date and the Seller will prepare or cause to be
prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing
Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule will
conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing
Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3. Consideration.
In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall on the Closing Date, as described in Section 8
hereof, (i) pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available
funds an amount (the "Purchase Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the
Class A Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
and (ii) deliver to
Long Beach Asset Holdings Corp. upon the order of the Seller the Class C
Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates (the "Long
Beach Certificates").
The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the
Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the
Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to
the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date
shall belong to the Seller.
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser
will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without
recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the right, title and
interest of the Purchaser in and to the Mortgage Loans (other than Sections 17
and 18 hereof), together with its rights under this Agreement.
SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse but
subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File not
delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the
Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser and promptly transferred to the Trustee. Upon the sale of the
Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the
other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the
ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller on or after the
Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered
promptly to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser. All amounts
received by the Seller after the Cut-off Date but prior to the date hereof with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, to which amounts the Seller is not entitled, will
be deposited into the Collection Account within one Business Day after the
Closing Date;
(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on
or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form: "Pay to the order of Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A. as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without
recourse," with all prior and intervening endorsements, showing a
complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so
endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more than 1.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date)
a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note
Affidavit executed by the Seller;
(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the
recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a
power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;
2
(iii) an original Assignment executed in blank;
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a
complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person
assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank;
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together
with all endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to the
issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a
first lien or second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein
as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such
original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform
binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance
or escrow company.
The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the
Seller and the Purchaser), following the later of the Closing Date and the date
of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage submit or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Purchaser, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to
in (iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to
in clause (iii) above in the following form: "Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse."
In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of
a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may
be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and
facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not
be required to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any
Mortgage Loan if the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating
Agency has received an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency, to the effect that the
recordation of such Assignments in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to
protect the Trust's interest in the related Mortgage Note; provided further,
however, notwithstanding the delivery of any opinion of counsel, each Assignment
shall be submitted for recording by the Seller, in the manner described above,
at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:
(i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default,
(iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the
Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), Section
4(b)(iii) or Section 4(b)(iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted
for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has
retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver
such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the
Purchaser of a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the case of
(x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to
be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and
(2)
3
if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Purchaser upon receipt
thereof, and in any event no later than one year after the Closing Date, of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the
original lender's title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section
4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly
after receipt thereof, and in any event within 120 days after the Closing Date,
the original lender's title insurance policy. The Seller shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser or its
assignee, transferee or designee. In the event that any such original document
is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage
File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee.
(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before, on and
after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be
delivered after the Closing Date within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain
that all required documents have been executed and received and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the
right to assign its interest under this Agreement (other than Sections 17 and 18
hereof), in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the
purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the
Seller, and the Trustee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of
the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser,
the Trustee or the NIM Insurer 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 to the Closing Date,
the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, for examination, the Mortgage
File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Files
available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the
Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller
during normal business hours at any time before or after the Closing Date. If
any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies
any Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Seller's representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement are not correct, 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 examination. The fact that the Purchaser or
any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or
other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Seller
Relating to the Individual Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser,
that as of the Closing Date:

property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public
record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions

to the Purchaser, the Seller had good, marketable and undefeasable

Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party to sell and assign
the same. The form of endorsement of each Mortgage Note satisfied the

title and interest of the party so
7
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage
Note; and each Assignment to be delivered hereunder is in recordable
form and is sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to

(vi) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no
delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
(vii) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to
pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note, nor will
the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the

Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(viii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no
mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with,
the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in (xii) below;
(ix) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, each Mortgaged
Property is free of material damage and is at least in average repair;
(x) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including,

limitation the receipt of interest does not involve the violation of
any such laws;
(xi) Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage
has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a
Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which has

whole or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or
in part from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of

condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if
applicable, and, with respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, an
adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in an amount at least equal to the
balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, or a commitment
(binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination
of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full
force and effect, the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser and Trustee does not affect the
8
validity or enforceability of such policy and each such policy was
issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac
and in a form acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac, which policy insures the
Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first or second, as the case may be, priority lien
of the Mortgage; to the best of the Seller's knowledge, no claims have
been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior
holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act
or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage
title insurance policy;

each Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal the
Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%, subject to
the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage Rate and the Minimum
Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of
each month in self-amortizing monthly installments of principal and
interest, with interest payable in arrears, and requires a Monthly
Payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term and to pay
interest at the applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject

accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent
modifications, if any;
(xv) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the

be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the

same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been
made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and to the best of
the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law;
(xvii) All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
(or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing

located;
9
(xviii) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Mortgagor enforceable against the Mortgagor by the mortgagee or its
representative in accordance with its terms, except only as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by law. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had full
legal capacity to execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to convey the
estate purported to be conveyed by the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note
and Mortgage have been duly and validly executed by such parties;
(xix) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making,
closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid and the Mortgagor is
not entitled to any refund of amounts paid or due under the Mortgage
Note other than excess escrow funds and interest thereon;
(xx) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose
the Mortgage. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able
to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property;
(xxi) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxii) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow
deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow
deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have
been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
(xxiii) The origination, underwriting and collection practices

10
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or
other contingent interest feature;

Mortgaged Property is located representing coverage not less than the
lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan or the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on
a replacement cost basis. All individual insurance policies and flood
policies referred to in this clause (xxvii) and in clause (xxviii)
below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the
original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and
the Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable
thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance,
at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure
to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required

maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973;

four-family residential dwelling, including condominium units and
dwelling units in planned unit developments, which, to the best of the

manufactured housing constituting any portion of any Mortgaged Property
is a "single family residence" as defined in Section 25(e)(10) of the
Code;
(xxxi) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any
other party under the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to

similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally; (2) the
collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection

received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the

(a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 5
(ix), (xii) and (xiv) and Section 6 shall not be impaired by any review and
examination of loan files or other
14
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 holders of asset-backed

made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, or 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

Seller's loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, the costs and
expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the
17
documents referred to in Sections 9(d) and 9(e), the cost of an opinion of
counsel regarding the true sale and non-consolidation of the mortgage loans, the
costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the
prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Information Circular, any blue sky
filings and private placement memorandum relating to the Certificates and other
related documents, costs and expenses of the Trustee, the fees and expenses of
the Purchaser's counsel in connection with the preparation of all documents
relating to the securitization of the Mortgage Loans, the filing fee charged by

cost of any opinions of outside special counsel that may be required for the
Seller and the fees charged by any Rating Agency to rate the Certificates. All
other costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall be borne by the party incurring such expense.
SECTION 11. Servicing.
The Seller has represented to the Purchaser that the Mortgage
Loans are being serviced in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and it is understood and agreed by and between the Seller
and the Purchaser that any interim servicing arrangements with the Seller will
be superseded by the servicing arrangements set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 12. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage
Loans described on the Mortgage Loan 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 and each document and
instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure 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 (i) the Purchaser's
right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent
permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Purchaser's 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 automatically released from the security interest
created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by
the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, that its
security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released. 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 shall
not have delivered or caused to be delivered the Long Beach Certificates to Long
Beach Asset Holding Corp., 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 or not to deliver or cause to be delivered the Long Beach
Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holding Corp, the Purchaser shall immediately
effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the
18
Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 12
shall be deemed to have been released.
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 telex or
telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser,
addressed to the Purchaser at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel, or such other address as may
hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the
Seller, addressed to the Seller at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel, or to such other address as the
Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.
SECTION 14. Severability of Provisions.
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this
Agreement which is prohibited or which 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 which 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 (including UCC financing statements and continuation
statements) 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 and
its successors and assigns, 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. Indemnification, Representative.
(a) The Seller indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser,
the Purchaser's
19
officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1993 Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), as
follows:
(i) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or such
controlling person may become subject under the 1993 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, but not
limited to, any loss, claim, expense, damage or liability
related to purchases and sales of the Class A-2 Certificates,
the Class S-2 Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, the
"Underwritten Certificates") arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based
upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements made therein not misleading; and will
reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in
connection with investigating, defending against or appearing
as a third party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable in
any such case only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or
omission, made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Purchaser by the Seller
specifically for use in the preparation thereof (the "Seller's
Prospectus Supplement Information");
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of the Seller; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by the Purchaser, subject to
Section 17(c) below), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based
upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii)
above.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Seller may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Seller, each of its directors, each of its officers and each person, if
any, who controls the Seller within the
20
meaning of Section 15 of the 1993 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities to which the Seller or any such director, officer or
controlling person may become subject, under the 1993 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Prospectus Supplement, other than in the Seller's Prospectus Supplement
Information, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not
misleading, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 17 of notice of the commencement of any action described
therein, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 17, notify
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
under this Section 17 unless the indemnifying party is materially
prejudiced by such omission to notify and in any event the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under this
Agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall
not, except with the consent of the indemnified party (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party under this Section 17, such indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and preparation
for a defense.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been
specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing (ii) such
indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there
may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in
the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such
indemnified party to employ separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or
potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the
indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to
direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party)
or (iv) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such
action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the
indemnifying party
21
in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified
parties, which firm shall be designated in writing (i) by the Seller if
the indemnified parties under this Section 17 consist of the Seller or
any of its officers, directors or controlling persons, or (ii) the
Purchaser, if the indemnified party under this Section 17 consist of
the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's directors, officers or
controlling persons.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreements contained in Section 17(a) and Section 17(b), shall use its
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), but if settled with its written consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent
set forth in Section 17(a) or Section 17(b) as applicable) by reason of
such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified
party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability on any claims that are the subject of such action and (ii)
does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30
days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(a) or
17(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Purchaser
on the one hand and the Seller on the other from the offering of the
Underwritten Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Purchaser on
22
the one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(b) is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under Section
17(b), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in Section 17(b) in such proportion
as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser on one
hand and the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on
the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Purchaser bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Purchaser
or by the Seller and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement
or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above in the first
sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is
the subject of this subsection (d). No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
SECTION 18. Indemnification, Xxxxxxx Mac.
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser against losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to
which the Purchaser may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
part of the information circular of Purchaser, dated as of July 11, 2001
(together with all amendments, exhibits and any supplements thereto, the
"Information Circular"), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, as of the date thereof
and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
and will reimburse the Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the Seller shall be
liable in any such case only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Purchaser by the Seller
specifically for use in the preparation thereof ("Seller's Information Circular
Information").
(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which the Seller may
become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
23
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Information Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information other than Seller's Information Circular
Information, and will reimburse the Seller for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Seller in connection with investigating or defending
against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 18 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 18, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party,
unless otherwise set forth under this Section 18. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 18 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel, chosen by the Purchaser in the case of paragraph (a) of this
Section 18, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who
are parties to such action and that such expenses are to be reimbursed as they
are incurred), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or
(iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel
for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except
that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in
respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 18
shall for any reason be unavailable in accordance with its terms to an
indemnified party under this Section 18, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or
(b) above, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
benefits received by the Seller and the Purchaser from the offering of the Class
A-1 Certificates and the Class S-1 Certificates and (ii) the relative fault of
the Seller and the Purchaser in connection with the statement or omission that
24
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Seller
and the Purchaser shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
proceeds from the offering of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class S-1
Certificates (before deducting expenses) received by the Seller bear to the
total proceeds (before deducting expenses) received or realized by the Purchaser
from the sale of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class S-1 Certificates. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Purchaser or the Seller (which information supplied by the Seller is Seller's
Information Circular Information) and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 18(d) were to be
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 18(d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 18(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of
this Section 18(d). No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11 (f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution
from the other party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 18 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Purchaser,
to each officer of the Purchaser and to each person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act; and the
obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 18 shall be in addition to any
liability that the Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each director of the Seller, to each officer of the
Seller and to each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of
the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act.
SECTION 19. 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 AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD
TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY
TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 20. 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
25
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 21. Third Party Beneficiary.
Each of the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer, shall be a third
party beneficiary hereof (except with respect to Section 17 and Section 18) and
shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof as if a party hereto, except
the provisions of Section 17 and Section 18 hereof. This provision shall not
limit waiver, enforcement and consent powers that Radian Insurance Inc. has
except as specifically agreed in a separate letter agreement between such
parties or as otherwise agreed between Radian Insurance Inc. and the parties may
perform in accordance with such powers. The Representative, on behalf of the
underwriters, shall be a third party beneficiary hereof solely with respect to
Section 17 and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 17 as if
it were a party hereto. Xxxxxxx Mac shall be a third party beneficiary hereof
solely with respect to Section 18 and shall be entitled to enforce the
provisions of Section 18 as if it were a party hereto.
26

COUNTY OF ORANGE )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the
proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among Long Beach
Securities Corp., as depositor (the "Depositor"), Long Beach Mortgage Company,
as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), Xxxxxxx Mac, a guarantor with
respect to the Class A-1 Certificates and Class S-1 Certificates, and Bankers
Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms
used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this
affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised and understands that (i) a tax will
be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) of
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person
does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The Transferee has been advised and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a
"pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate
investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the
K-1
provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee
expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section
5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the
Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the
representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee
contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or collection of tax. The Transferee understands that, as the holder of a
noneconomic residual interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in
excess of any cash flows generated by the Certificate. The Transferee intends to
pay taxes associated with holding the Certificate as they become due.
11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on
behalf of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be

Vice President, attested by its Assistant Secretary, this ___ day of July, 2001.
